Genshin Impact Illuga Kit Leaks — Talents & Abilities
Illuga’s kit is built around a summonable bird named “Gale”, which functions similarly to Fischl’s Oz, dealing Geo damage off-field and tracking the active character. His burst provides massive Geo and Lunar-Crystallize reaction buffs, making him valuable for emerging team compositions.
Skill (Elemental Skill)
Summons Gale to dash at enemies and apply Geo DMG. Can be tapped or held for targeted control. The skill scales heavily on DEF and Elemental Mastery, making him flexible in build styles.
Burst (Elemental Burst)
Unleashes AoE Geo damage and grants Haunted Night’s Oriole-Song, providing stacks consumed to enhance Geo attacks from allies. Geo constructs also boost stack gain, enhancing synergy with characters like Zhongli, Ningguang, Chiori, and Itto.
Team Buffs & Passives
Increases Geo DMG, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and Elemental Mastery.
Provides additional scaling based on team members with Geo or Hydro.
Offers movement speed bonuses at nighttime.
Constellations
His constellations improve burst damage, generate energy on Geo reactions, scale additional hits, and enhance DEF and crit bonuses. C6 significantly boosts his support capability.
Community Response and Potential Meta Impact
Players have already labeled Illuga as a “Geo Fischl”, praising his flexible kit and promising synergy with future Luna IV characters. His design indicates he may strengthen Lunar Crystallize compositions and open new playstyles for Geo teams.
As always with beta content, kit values may change before launch. Fans are now watching for the official live stream to confirm release timing and banner placement.
