Xbalanque in Genshin Impact - character from Natlan, which according to ancient legend is considered Pyro the Archon, in other theories he acts as a dragon. Or it combines two options at once, but definitely does not apply to ordinary people. The hero is probably a teacher Mavuiki and is involved in the kingdom's grand test.
In this article we will present all the known information about Xbalanca: the origin of the name and connection with mythology, when he will appear in the story and banners, what is known about his appearance, element and weapon.
Who is Xbalanque in Genshin Impact
Xbalanque - supposedly the first Piro Archon or the dragon that lives in Natlan. Most likely, it was he who appeared in the teaser in the form of six runes floating in fire.
The name Xbalanque is written in English as "Xbalanque" is the name of one of the Mayan hero twins in Mesoamerican mythology. In different versions it means “hidden sun” or “jaguar”, so the character of the legend is often depicted in ancient drawings with spots on his body.
Is Xbalanque Piro a dragon?
An ancient legend has become known through leaks, according to which the hero took the place of the first Pyro Archon after a difficult victory over one of the ancients lords. No one knows what remains in the volcano where the test took place - emptiness or a dead dragon.
It is mentioned that the dragon was either the Sage of the Stolen Flame or the first Archon - this leads to the theory that there is no dead man left on the volcano, and Xbalanque, who emerged victorious, is himself a Pyro Lord bearing the title of deity.
In the card Nevilleta it is indicated that the words “one day they will return, and the real test will begin” are spoken by Xbalanque, Buried by the Primordial Fire. Because of this, the following assumption is made: in the plot of Natlan, a new Archon will be elected, also holding a great battle.
What connects Xbalanque and Mavuica?
According to some theories, Xbalanque, buried by the primordial fire, is the first Archon of Natlan and master Mavuiki. In the teaser, the girl invites him to “forge the true destiny with blood” and touches the runes with her hand. If the information is confirmed, then it means they are deeply connected by a mentor-student relationship.
When will Xbalanque be released?
It is unknown when the hero will become playable and appear in the limited banner. Considering that he may not even appear in the plot 5.0 version, scheduled for August 2024, will have to wait for later patches. It is possible that Xbalanque will be released in 2025 in patches 5.4-5.6, but for now these are just rumors.
