Xianyun is a versatile character in Genshin Impact, but her Skill can be time-intensive to use. A simple E Q rotation is ideal for most teams. For optimal performance, consider the following:

• Use Xianyun's Elemental Skill (ES) to apply Electro and deal damage.
• Follow up with Xianyun's Elemental Burst (EB) for increased damage and crowd control.
• Keep in mind that most teams will not use all three uses of Xianyun's ES, as it is too time-intensive.

Xianyun is best paired with characters that can provide:

• Hydro application for Electro-Charged reactions.
• Pyro application for Superconduct reactions.

When farming for Xianyun, consider the following locations:

• Winds of the Dawn
• Winds of the Dawn (Night)

Keep in mind that Xianyun's build recommendations include:

• Elemental Mastery (EM) for increased elemental damage.
• Energy Recharge (ER) for increased ES and EB usage.

In terms of team composition, consider the following:

• Xianyun as the main Electro DPS.
• A Hydro or Pyro support character for reaction applications.

This setup should provide a solid foundation for most teams, but feel free to experiment and adjust to your playstyle.

Xianyun's Plunge Attack Support Xianyun's main utilities are her jump height boost, healing, and Plunging Attack buff. While her healing is tied to her Burst Levels, the only way to increase her Plunging Attack buff is by increasing her total ATK.
Weapon Choices • Favonius Codex: With high team Energy Recharge requirements, this weapon pulls ahead in value. • Hakushin Ring: In teams with Electro units to benefit from the passive, this weapon ranks higher than Ballad of the Boundless Blue. • Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers: The value of this weapon depends on who and how reliably they can obtain the buff. • Prototype Amber: At low refinements, this weapon is not worth using. The lower Xianyun's total Energy Recharge requirements, the worse this weapon performs. At [R5] this weapon is similar or better than Ballad of the Boundless Blue. • Wine and Song: Perform a dash to gain the ATK% from the passive.
Artifact Sets • Noblesse Oblige (4): Better than Viridescent Venerer if someone else already has the set or if Pyro/Hydro/Cryo/Electro damage is not a large source of the team's damage. • Ocean Hued Clam (4) / Song of Days Past (4): In Single Target scenarios, Song of Days Past can be better than Ocean Hued Clam. However, Clam is more consistent.

White Clouds at Dawn

Do not shake Cloud Retainer's hand too tightly; cranes are quite adept at gripping.

Xianyun enters the Cloud Transmogrification state, in which she will not take Fall DMG, and uses Skyladder once.
In this state, her Plunging Attack will be converted into Driftcloud Wave instead, which deals AoE Anemo DMG and ends the Cloud Transmogrification state. This DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG.
Each use of Skyladder while in this state increases the DMG and AoE of the next Driftcloud Wave used.

Skyladder
Can be used while in mid-air. Xianyun leaps forward, dealing Anemo DMG to targets along her path.
During each Cloud Transmogrification state Xianyun enters, Skyladder may be used up to 3 times and only 1 instance of Skyladder DMG can be dealt to any one opponent.
If Skyladder is not used again in a short period, the Cloud Transmogrification state will be canceled.

If Xianyun does not use Driftcloud Wave while in this state, the next CD of White Clouds at Dawn will be decreased by 3s.

Stars Gather at Dusk

This is the newest invention in the "Lunastar Artifices" series, of which previous creations include the Supreme Cuisine Machine, the Snowdrift Mechanism, the Supreme Housekeeping Machine, the Floating Toting Device, and the Bloom Pruner. This series was intended for young humans Cloud Retainer held in great esteem, and so was not designed with a certain half-adeptus in mind. However, when offered Starwicker, a certain female disciple of hers had these emotionless words to say: "No thank you."
Cloud Retainer thus had no choice but to keep it herself.

Brings forth a sacred breeze that deals AoE Anemo DMG and heals all nearby characters based on Xianyun's ATK. It will also summon the "Starwicker" mechanism.

Starwicker
·Continuously follows the active character and periodically heals all nearby party members based on Xianyun's ATK.
·Starts with 8 stacks of Adeptal Assistance. While Adeptal Assistance is active, nearby active characters in the party will have their jump height increased.
·When the active character completes a Plunging Attack, Starwicker will consume 1 stack of Adeptal Assistance and deal AoE Anemo DMG.
Only 1 Starwicker can exist simultaneously.
