Recent leaks suggest that a 5-star skin might be released during the 6.4 Lantern Rite Festival. This would be a full 5-star skin, unlike the existing 4-star skins, similar to Diluc's 'Red Dead of Night'. Although Xiao isn't explicitly mentioned in the leaks, circumstantial evidence strongly suggests he's the main candidate.

Most Genshin skins are classified as 4-star, with changes only to the outfit or idle animations. In the case of Diluc's 5-star skin, there were significant changes to the combat style, including elemental burst visual effects and new attack animations. It's currently the only true 5-star skin released in Genshin Impact.

Since Yanfei's skin is expected in version 5.8, the 5-star characters from Liyue without skins are Xianyun, Baizhu, Zhongli, Qiqi, and Xiao. Xianyun and Baizhu were released relatively recently, making a skin release less likely. Zhongli is an Archon character, so Hoyoverse is likely to use Archon character skins for important future storylines. Qiqi has low usage and popularity, making a 4-star skin more likely than a 5-star skin.

Xiao has been a central figure in every Lantern Rite event and is like a symbol of the Lantern Rite. His story aligns well with the festival's core themes. Xiao is a popular 5-star character and doesn't have a skin yet. If a 5-star skin is released, we can expect new elemental effects, updated elemental skill animations, and redesigned elemental burst effects.

Asks viewers to leave comments about what Xiao's 5-star skin might look like, or who they think should get a skin if not Xiao. Promises continued interest and analysis of future information or beta previews.
