A recent arrival in Liyue Harbour named Xianyun makes use of the anemo element. Using a catalyst as a weapon, she is a five-star character.Her equipment is centred on her ability to float about and execute plunge strikes to deliver anemo damage while using her elemental talent. In the meanwhile, her ultimate allows party members to leap higher and recover HP for the team, enabling them to execute plunge strikes.

Depending on the squad you're working with, the greatest artefact sets you can gift her are a complete set of Viridescent Venerer or Song of Days Past. Her strongest in-slot weapon is the five-star catalyst Crane's Echoing Call. Viridescent Venerer is the better choice if you're using an element-focused DPS like Diluc who can pop off responses, while Song of Days Past is ok if you're using a primary DPS like Xiao. Building up her attack and energy recharge levels is essential to helping her.

Which weapons suit Xianyun the best?

Crane's Echoing Call, which can be found next to Xianyun on a weapon banner, is one's greatest weapon. In all honesty, who doesn't have the resources to get this? If not, there are a few more excellent possibilities.

To consistently trigger the attack buffs, be sure to pair Xianyun with Zhongli or another trustworthy shielder if you have a Memory of Dust on hand.

Weapon Effect How to obtain
Crane’s Echoing Call (five-star) Bonus stat: increases attack
Skill: when Xianyun hits an opponent with a plunge attack, all nearby party members’ plunge attacks deal 28% increased damage for 20 seconds. When nearby party members hit opponents with the plunge attacks, they restore 2.5 energy to Xianyun. This can trigger when she is not on field		 Weapon Banner alongside Xianyun
Skyward Atlas (five-star) Bonus stat: increases attack
Skill: increases Xianyun’s elemental damage bonus by 12%. Normal attack hits have a 50% chance to earn the Favor of the Clouds, which actively seeks out targets to attack them, lasting 15 seconds. This deals 160% attack as damage, but can only occur once every 30 seconds		 Standard banner and weapon banner
Memory of Dust (five-star) Bonus stat: increases attack
Skill: increases shield strength by 20%. Hitting opponents increases Xianyun’s attack by 4% for eight seconds, and can stack five times. This can only occur once every 0.3 seconds. While protected by a shield, this attack buff increases by a further 100%		 Weapon banner
Favonius Codex (four-star) Bonus stat: increases energy recharge
Skill: crit hits have a 60% chance to generate a small number of elemental particles, which can regenerate six energy for Xianyun. This can only occur once every 12 seconds		 All banners

Which artefacts from Xianyun are the best?

It's open for debate whether artefacts are the "best" for Xianyun, as we have discussed. Viridescent Venerer is a great option if you want to pair her with hot lads like Diluc or Gaming and mix in some elemental responses. Opt for a set of Song of Days instead if you want to employ Xianuyun to enhance your Xiao. Past to take advantage of her recovery.

Make sure you have an abundance of attack and energy recharge via your main and sub-stats, regardless of the configuration you choose.

Which Xianyun team competitors are the best?

Because Xianyun is a healer and increases the damage of plunging attacks, she complements a few important characters very well. The Diluc of Genshin Impact, Xiao of Genshin Impact, and newcomer Gaming at Genshin Impactare her perfect partners since their plunge attacks all deliver a great degree of damage.

But, Xianyun may allow anybody to plunge during her ultimate by raising the leap height of each character, so feel free to choose your preferred DPS to make the dive.

First character slot Second character slot Third character slot Fourth character slot
Xianyun Gaming Bennett Furina
Xianyun Diluc Zhongli Furina
Xianyun Xiao Faruzan Furina

What skills does Xianyun possess?

Xianyun's kit is rather complex, with several features that provide damage reduction, healing, and the capacity to leap and dive even on solid terrain. An description of each of her special abilities and attacks can be found here.

Skills in action:
Skill Effect
Normal attack: Word of Wind and Flower Normal: Xianyun performs up to four strikes, dealing anemo damage
Charged: Xianyun uses a fixed amount of stamina to launch a Breeze Bolt at enemies in a straight line, dealing anemo damage
Plunge: When jumping from the air or during her ultimate, Xianyun plunges toward the ground, damaging all opponents in an AoE around her
Elemental skill: White Clouds at Dawn Xianyun enters the Cloud Transmogrification state, in which she does not take fall damage, and uses Skyladder. In this state, her plunge attack converts to Driftcloud Wave, which deals AoE anemo damage and ends the Cloud Transmogrification state. This is considered as plunge attack damage. Each use of Skyladder in this state increases the damage and AoE of the next Driftcloud Wave Xianyun uses
Skyladder –
Xianyun can use this skill in mid-air. She leaps forward, dealing anemo damage. During each Cloud Transmogrification state, you can use Skyladder three times.
If Xianyun does not use the Driftcloud Wave while in this state, the cooldown of the next White Clouds at Dawn use decreases by three seconds
Elemental burst: Stars Gather at Dusk Xianyun deals AoE anemo damage around her upon unleashing her ultimate.
She also summons a Starwicker mechanism. The Starwicker follows your active character and periodically heals party members for an amount that scales with her attack stat.
While her ultimate is active, active characters have their jump height increased, allowing them to perform plunge attacks in succession without having to jump off a surface.
When your active character performs a plunge attack, the Starwicker consumes one stack of Assistance. You start with eight stacks, so can get eight plunges before Xianyun’s ultimate ends
Skills in passivity:
Skill Effect
Galefeather Pursuit (unlocked at ascension one) Each opponent hit by Driftcloud Waves from White Clouds At Dawn grants all nearby party members one stack of Storm Pinion for 20 seconds, maximum of four stacks. These cause the plunging attack crit rate to increase by 4/6/8/10% respectively
Consider, the Adeptus in Her Realm (unlocked at ascension four) When the Staricker has Adeptal Assistance stacks, nearby active characters’ plunging attack shockwave damage increases by 200% of Xianyun’s attack. The maximum damage increase you can get is 9,000. Each plunging attack shockwave damage instance can only apply this increase in damage to a single opponent
Crane Form (unlocked automatically) Increases gliding speed for your own party members by 15%

Which constellations belong to Xianyun?

Here are some of the things you may unlock with Xianyun's constellations if you're fortunate enough to get more than one. In particular, her C2 and C6 are strong if you want to pull for numerous cons.

Constellation Effect
C1: Purifying Wind White Clouds at Dawn gains one additional charge
C2: Aloof From the World After using a Skyladder, Xianyun’s attack increases by 20% for 15 seconds. Additionally, the effects of the talent ‘Consider, the Adeptus in her Realm’ become enhanced –
When the Starwicker has Adeptal Assistance stacks, nearby active character’s plunge attack shockwave damage increases by 400% of her attack. The maximum damage you can get is 18,000
C3: Creations of Star and Moon Increases the level of Stars Gather at Dusk by three. Maximum level 15
C4: Mystery Millet Gourmet After using Skyladder 1/2/3 times, when a Driftcloud Wave unleashes during that instance hits an opponent, it heals all nearby party members for 50%/80%/250% of Xianyun’s attack
C5: Astride Rose-Colored Clouds Increases the level of White Clouds at Dawn by three. Maximum level 15
C6: They Call Her Cloud Retainer After Xianyun uses 1/2/3 Skyladders, the crit damage of Driftcloud Waves created in this instance increases by 15/35/70%. Within 16 seconds after Xianyun uses the Stars Gather at Dusk, White Clouds at Dawn will not have a cooldown

Who is Xianyun of Genshin Impact?

Xianyun is a member of Liyue's adepti, a formidable group of creatures aligned with Morax that battled hundreds of years ago in the Archon War. Although she goes by the name Cloud Retainer, her playable persona seems to be a more casual version of her.

Since her arrival in Liyue's archon missions, gamers have been eagerly awaiting Xianyun, just as they did for Baizhu and Scaramouche before her.

If you're wondering who she is in the tale, she's the white bird that yells at you when you try to visit her home on Mount Aocang during the world quest An Adeptal Summons and the archon quest Custodian of the Clouds. You know, the one who adopted and trained both Genshin Impact's Shenhe and Genshin Impact's Ganyu, and who speaks of them as tiny replicas of each other.

Now that we have seen all there is to see in Cloud Retainer's playable form, why not check out some more of Liyue's greatest character builds? These are our instructions for Zhongli, Baizhu, Qiqi, and Xiao from Genshin Impact.
