The Story of Xian Yun (biography of the Guardian of the Clouds)
Xian Yun from Genshin Impact is an Adept who has lived in the territory of Li Yue for more than 1000 years and bears the title Guardian of the Clouds. Like other representatives of this group, she is called upon to protect the Geo Kingdom from the influence of demonic forces and evil deities. The traveler meets Xian Yun as part of the plot of the region, where she appears in the form of a white heron. Living in a remote place on Mount Aotsang, the Guardian of the Clouds led a hermit life for many centuries. However, over time, she became interested in worldly life and cooking, deciding to settle among people under a new name.
Xian Yun comes across as a cheerful and talkative person, although she considers herself to be reserved and dignified, which is a bit of a contrast to the general perception of her. She is a master of mechanics and loves to create various useful devices, one of which is the "Gourmet Mini Soup Kettle". No one knows exactly what this mysterious unit is, but it is known that it improves the taste of any dish. The girl’s personality is of indefinable interest, and many are even sure that she is a great hero hiding under a pseudonym.
The development of the Custodian of Clouds's story can be found in her legend quest "Free Crane: A Thousand Moonlight Miles".

Abilities of Xian Yun (Guardian of the Clouds)
Xian Yun (Keeper of the Clouds) – Anemo catalyst specializing in healing and buffs. Thanks to the elemental skill, he can make enhanced jumps, which makes exploring the open world comfortable. With an elemental explosion, it heals all allies, and also allows the active character to make attacks while falling, simultaneously increasing the damage caused by these attacks.
Next, we will analyze in detail how Xian Yun’s skills work, and in what order it is best to upgrade them. Let's look separately at all passive skills and constellations. We will separately highlight and discuss the constants that we recommend paying attention to first.
Basic skills (active skills)
- Wind and Flower Word (normal/charged/fall attack)
Normal attack: Makes 4 consecutive attacks, dealing damage to Anemo.
Charged attack: costs 50 units. stamina and releases a wind ring in front of itself, which deals Anemo damage to all enemies in its path.
Attack in the fall: Swiftly flies to the ground, attacking all enemies it encounters. At the end, Anemo deals area damage.
Basic attacks have good multipliers, but are practically not used in any build. At the same time, the Guardian of the Clouds is a catalyst, so she can perform regular attacks to create a Dispel reaction.
- White Clouds at Dawn (Elemental Skill)
Cooldown time: 12 sec.
Enters Cloud Transformation, which makes her immune to falling damage, and uses Sky Ladder. In this state, the fall attack turns into a Floating Cloud Wave, which deals AoE damage to Anemo and ends the Cloud Polymorph state. This damage is considered falling attack damage. Each use of Sky Ladder increases the damage and area of effect of the next Floating Cloud Wave.
Features Heavenly staircase:
- Can be activated in the air. Xian Yun charges forward and attacks all enemies in his path.
- While Cloud Transformation is active, the Sky Ladder can be used up to 3 times. One enemy can only take Heavenly Ladder damage once.
- If the Sky Ladder is not activated within a short period of time, the Cloud Transformation condition will disappear.
If you do not trigger a Wave of Floating Clouds during the current state of Cloud Transformation, the cooldown of the skill is reduced by 3 seconds.
After using the E-shki, he gains a state that allows him to make enhanced jumps. After the first jump, he can make two more dashes, including in the air. If you press the attack button while hovering, Xian Yun will perform a special fall attack and end the condition. The damage of this fall kick increases after the second and third jumps. The skill always generates 5 particles of energy, so doing two or more dashes is not necessary.
- Twilight Plexus of Stars (Elemental Explosion)
Duration: 16 sec.
Cooldown time: 18 sec.
Energy consumption: 70 units
Summons a divine wind that deals Anemo damage in an area, restores health to all allies in proportion to Xian Yun's attack power, and creates the "Weave of Stars" mechanism.
Features Plexus of stars:
- Follows the active character and periodically restores HP to nearby allies in proportion to Xian Yun's attack power.
- Initially, it has 8 levels of Adept Support. While Adept Support is active, the jump height of active squad members increases.
- When the active character performs a falling attack, Starweave consumes 1 level of Adept Support and deals AoE damage to Anemo.
Only one Star Tangle can exist on the battlefield.
After using the ult, Anemo deals area damage and heals all allies (the effectiveness of treatment depends on the strength of Xian Yun’s attack). In addition, summons a bird called "Weave of Stars" that follows the active character for 16 seconds. While the bird is active, squad members receive healing every 2,5 seconds, as well as the ability to make attacks while falling - no more than 8 times. When an active ally performs a falling attack, Anemo deals additional area damage.
The order of leveling talents
Explosion of the elements is aimed at healing the team and applying buffs that increase the damage of attacks while falling. At the same time, it allows you to deal damage in the area and outside the battlefield due to the Tangle of Stars, therefore it is a priority for both roles. Elemental Skill in the sub-damage position, you can raise it to level 6-8 to deal additional damage, and normal attacks leave at level 1 or raise to lvl 6-8 after all Xian Yun’s abilities if desired. As a healer, it is not necessary to upgrade other skills, except for ultimate.
Passive skills
List of all Xian Yun's passive skills:
| Talent | What gives |
|---|---|
| White feather in the good wind | Each enemy hit by the Wave of Floating Clouds (Xian Yun's fall attack) of the White Clouds skill at dawn for 20 sec. Gives all nearby party members 1 level of the Feather on the Wind effect. The effect stacks up to 4 times and increases the critical chance. attack hits in the fall by 4%/6%/8%/10% respectively. The duration of Feather in the Wind levels generated when hitting an enemy is calculated separately. |
| Adept in his abode | Weaving Elemental Burst Stars with an active Adept Support increases the attack shockwave damage of nearby allies by 200% of Xian Yun's attack power. The maximum damage increase is no more than 9. One falling attack can inflict this increased damage on only one target. Each character can activate the effect once every 000 seconds. To receive the maximum buff, Xian Yun must have 4 attack power. |
| Crane shape | Increases the hover speed of all squad members by 15%. Does not stack with passive talents that provide exactly the same effects. |
Constellations
The table shows all the Xian Yun constellations:
| number | Name | <font><font>Materials</font></font> |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wind of purification | Increases the number of charges of the elemental skill White Clouds at Dawn by 1. |
| 2 | Separated from the world | After using the Heavenly Ladder (jump) el. skill, Xian Yun's attack power increases by 20% for 15 sec. In addition, the passive talent Adept in his monastery receives a boost: Weave of Elemental Burst Stars increases the damage of the shock wave attack in the fall of nearby allies by 400% of Xian Yun's attack power. The maximum damage increase is no more than 18. One falling attack deals increased damage to only one target. Each character can activate the effect once every 000 seconds. You need to unlock the passive talent Adept in your monastery. |
| 3 | Creations of the star and moon | Level Twilight Plexus of Stars (explosion of elements) . Max. level: 15. |
| 4 | Mysterious pearl millet | Attack hits in Xian Yun's fall during the same email. skill, during which the Heavenly Ladder (jump) was used 1/2/3 times, restores HP to all nearby squad members in the amount of 50%/80%/150% of Xian Yun's attack power. This effect can occur once every 5 sec. |
| 5 | Riding on the clouds | Level White clouds at dawn (electronic skill) +3. Max. level: 15. |
| 6 | Cloud Guardian Spirit | After Xian Yun uses Heavenly Ladder (jump) 1/2/3 times during the same e-mail. skill, her crit. attack damage while falling increases by 15%/35%/70% respectively. Within 16 sec. after using an explosion of elements. The skill does not go into cooldown mode. After 8 activations of the skill, this effect disappears. |
The best constellations of Xian Yun - С1, С2 и С6:
- first constellation allows you to use an elemental skill twice (like C1 sucrose). In other words, you deal more damage per output and recover energy faster, but at the same time, you will have to be on the battlefield longer than usual to do this.
- Second constellation increases attack power after using el. skill, and also doubles the effect of the “Adept in his Abode” passive. All this ensures an increase in the damage of attacks in the fall of the active character (by approximately 20%), enhances the healing and the heroine’s own damage.
- sixth constellation reveals Xian Yun's potential as a damage dealer by increasing her fall attack damage. In addition, while the elemental explosion is active, the elemental skill can be used without a cooldown, but no more than 8 times.
Advantages and disadvantages of Xian Yun
Let's take a closer look at the positive and negative aspects of the character.
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
| Buffer and healer rolled into one. The Guardian of the Clouds' arsenal of abilities includes both enhancing skills, which have a significant impact on damage and open up new gameplay, and healing ones, which restore the HP of the entire team. | No screed. One of the key advantages of many Anemo supports is the presence of control, which is missing in Xian Yun's mechanics. In situations where a screed is necessary, you will have to use the appropriate heroes to help. |
| Makes open world exploration easier. Can easily and comfortably move around any location through the use of the Heavenly Ladder (jump) of the elemental skill - mountains or small bodies of water are no longer an obstacle. | Expensive elemental explosion – 70 units. energy. At the same time, the ult is an important source of buffs and healing, which means its stable use plays an important role. The solution to the problem is a second Anemo character, the weapon Favonius or Signa. |
| The main feature of the character is increased jump height and attack damage when allies fall. This is a buffnet for heroes who initially specialize in this type of attack (Xiao, Fireplace), and other damage dealers, especially if they have an infusion. | Low own damage. Keeper of the Clouds cannot boast of “exorbitant” indicators, and with C6 she is inferior to many damage dealers. As a sub-DD, he performs better, but you will still need to balance your stats. |
| Easy to assemble. As a support, it is enough to improve such characteristics as attack power and energy recovery in order to benefit the team. The remaining stats are selected according to the situation - for example, crits make sense only in a sub-damage build. | Weak main-dd potential. If desired, Xian Yun can be the basis of a group at C0, but in this case it is difficult to assemble and implement: high crits are needed, a lot of attack power, Faruzan и Bennett. And even then you can find more suitable damage dealers. |
| Flexible play style. Xian Yun is a support character who is capable of not only healing and strengthening allies, but at the same time inflicting damage on the battlefield with a skill and “from the pocket” with an elemental explosion. | Doesn't work well with stand-up heroes (Tartaglia, Wanderer, Ayato). While the characters are in their special forms, they cannot make attacks while falling, and therefore cannot take advantage of buffs. Please note that for heroes with infusion (Keqing, Hu Tao etc.) this does not apply. |
| Friendly to F2P players. The Guardian of the Clouds does not require constellations or signature weapons to realize her potential. Although this can make the game more comfortable, it is not strictly necessary. | Long animation email. skill. This does not cause any particular inconvenience in the open world, but it can “ruin” the rotation. In particular, this also negatively affects the damage of the skill, since it is affected by the number of jumps, and this process takes a lot of time on the battlefield. |
| Is an Anemo catalyst, thanks to which it can cause Dispersion not only with abilities, but also with regular attacks if necessary. If you equip the set "Viridescent Venerer", the usefulness of the reaction also increases greatly. | |
| Treatment applies to all squad members, and then periodically restores HP. This will provide allies with stable healing in any situation, and will also provide good synergy with Furina. |

Best Xian Yun Builds in Genshin Impact
Xian Yun specializes in healing the team and applying buffs that increase attack damage when falling. This makes her an excellent support, as she increases her jump height, allowing any hero to attack from the fall. At the same time, she is capable of independently dealing damage with an explosion of elements outside the battlefield and with an elemental skill. Xian Yun assemblies are divided into two types:
- Healer build. In this case, only Attack Power for effective treatment and energy recovery, so that the elemental explosion charges faster.
- Build sub-dd. There is more emphasis on the character’s own damage, so the need for energy is added to the attack power and energy recovery Crete. damage and crit chance. hits.
Let's look at the features of each build for the Guardian of the Clouds separately in order to decide in which situation it is more profitable to use one or another build.
| Healer Assembly | Assembly sub-dd |
| The assembly is easy to design and implement since there is no need to carefully balance characteristics. | Selecting stats becomes more difficult, since in addition to attack power and energy recovery, crits are no less important. |
| Suitable for beginners or in difficult battles, when stable healing is a priority over the character’s personal damage. | The treatment is not as intense, but it increases your own damage with electricity. skill and elemental explosion. |
| Optimal in the absence of healers who can maintain the health of the entire team at a high level. | The assembly is effective if the squad has no problems with survivability or there are other pumped up healers/shieldmen. |
In addition, in the lower stats it will not be superfluous mastery of the elements, since in combination with other elements the Dispel reaction will still occur during the ult. Note that in both assemblies the buffer potential is not particularly different. The only thing is that the bonus from the passive skill “Adept in his abode” may be slightly higher in a healing build, since almost all artifacts are based on attack power.
Then, even without the last constellation, it will perform well. But, firstly, not every player can afford it, and secondly, even such an investment may not pay off 100%. The game allows you to collect characters in any way you like - the main part of the content will still be closed. However, from the point of view of the specifics of the heroine and her main focus, this is not the most appropriate contribution. You can make her a main DD, but only if you are not chasing numbers or are ready to seriously invest in the character.
Recommended characteristic values
Regardless of the chosen Guardian of the Clouds build, the stats should include Attack Power, since it affects not only the effectiveness of treatment and the buff of attacks in the fall from the passive, but also its own damage. Energy recovery similarly retains its priority, but in the position of a healer the need for this characteristic further increases. Next, we will look in detail at how to collect Xian Yun.

| Artifact | Main characteristic | Additional stats |

 space cup | Anemo Damage/Attack Power | ATK Crete. damage Crit chance. hits Energy recovery% Elemental Mastery |

- ATK: from 2 units. and higher.
- Crete. damage and crit chance. hits: It is desirable to achieve a ratio of 1:2, where at 50% crit. chance is 100% crit. damage
- Energy recovery: from 140-160% (with Anemo ally), 160-180% (without Anemo ally).
- Elemental Mastery: 100-200 units if you want to deal more damage from the Dispel reaction.

| The sands of Time | Energy Recovery% / Attack Power | ATK Energy recovery% Elemental Mastery |
| space cup | ATK | ATK Energy recovery% Elemental Mastery |

- Elemental Mastery: 100-200 units if you want to deal more damage from the Dispel reaction.
Best weapon
Xian Yun's weapons are selected depending on the role she occupies in the team. Let us consider separately all suitable catalysts.

| Name | Description | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
 The loud call of a crane⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic Attack: 49-741 ATK: 3,6%-16,5% | After an equipped character's fall attacks hit an enemy, nearby squad members' fall attack damage increases by 28-80% for 20 sec.

When hit with a normal attack, there is a 50% chance to gain a blessing of the clouds, which for 15 sec. attack nearby enemies and damage them 160%-320% damage. Can occur once every 30 seconds. | The Catalyst offers a bonus to attack power and elemental damage, which helps increase damage. Despite the fact that the second part of the passive effect cannot always be realized, since Xian Yun rarely uses regular attacks in rotation, the weapon still remains quite strong. |

The effect can stack up to 5 times and occur every 0.3 seconds. In addition, while protected by a shield, the attack power bonus of this effect is increased by 100%. | Provides a lot of attack power, which is of great value to the character. The only thing is that to get the maximum bonus you need to have a shield. Since in the sub-dead position Xian Yun is focused more on damage rather than healing, this alignment is quite acceptable.

 Kagura's Verity⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 46-608 Crete. damage: 14,4%-66,2% | Using an elemental skill grants the character the Kagura Dance effect, which increases the damage of their elemental skill by 12%-24%.

An additional advantage is the increase in electrical damage. skill and bonus to all elements.

During combat every 4 seconds gives 8-16% elemental damage bonus, stacking up to 4 times and ending when the character dies or leaves the battlefield. | If Kagura helps with crit. damage, then Prayer will allow you to get the required amount of crit. chance. Of the passive effects, the elemental damage bonus is interesting, although then Xian Yun should not leave the battlefield for about 16 seconds to get max. buff. It is not necessary to strive for this, but it is worth considering that then the bonus will not be so high. |
 Treasury supervision⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic Attack: 48-674 Critical Hit Chance: 4,8-22,1% | Increases attack power by 16-32%. When a character's current HP increases or decreases, for 4 sec.

When an equipped character gains 0,3 levels, attack speed increases by 3%. | Can be used to help balance crits and increase attack power. In addition, the weapon is legendary and therefore has a very high base. The second part of the passive effect is difficult to implement, and the bonus for normal and charged attacks is still not needed by Xian Yun. |
 The Widsith⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 Crete. damage: 12%-55,1% | When switching to a character within 10 sec. once every 30 sec. music plays that gives various buffs. Recitative: Increases attack power by 60%-120%; Aria: Increases elemental damage by 48%-96%; Interlude: Increases Elemental Mastery by 240-480. | A universal catalyst for attacking characters with crit. damage in the main characteristic. All passive buffs are useful for the Guardian of the Clouds. But mastery of the elements will only be useful if the squad contains characters who are able to react with Anemo and cause Dispersion. |
 Eye of Oath⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-565 Attack Power: 6%-27,6% | Using an elemental skill increases energy recovery by 24%-48% within 10 sec. | An excellent catalyst that has key bonuses for the character: it increases attack power and energy recovery.

 Sun pearl⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 42-510 Crit chance. hits: 6%-27,6% | Normal attack hits increase elemental skill and elemental burst damage by 20-40% for 6 sec. Conversely, hits with elemental skills and elemental explosions increase the damage of a normal attack by 20-40% within 6 sec. | Increases critical chance. hits, elemental skill damage and elemental explosion. If the bonus for the skill Guardian of the Clouds can be used, then the buff for the ult will end 10 seconds faster than the effect of the ability itself.

Nearby party members gain 30% of this effect. If other party members also have this weapon, the effect stacks. This effect triggers even if the equipped character is not on the battlefield. | Increases the attack power of the owner and partially the rest of the squad members. This buff will benefit the heroine and other allies if they are playing off attack power. Moreover, the passive activates itself every 10 seconds. and works outside the battlefield. The problem is that the character does not put much emphasis on elemental mastery, which is why the bonus is low, especially without R5. |
Weapons for Xian Yun healer
The healer's Xian Yun weapon should provide her with a large amount of attack power, as well as energy recovery. The remaining parameters are of no greater importance.
| Name | Description | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| The loud call of a crane ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic Attack: 49-741 ATK: 3,6%-16,5% | After an equipped character's fall attacks hit an enemy, nearby squad members' fall attack damage increases by 28-80% for 20 sec. Attack hits that fall to nearby squad members are restored 2,5-3,5 units energy of the equipped character. Energy can be restored in this way once every 1 sec. | Xian Yun's signature weapon shows itself perfectly if the heroine takes the position of a healer, because attack power and energy recovery, which the weapon provides, become especially important to her. Increasing attack damage when falling allies is also a great bonus, developing its buffering potential. |
| Memory of dust ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 46-608 Attack Power: 10,8%-49,6% | Increases shield strength by 20%-40%. On hit, increases attack power by 4%-8% within 8 sec. The effect can stack up to 5 times and occur every 0.3 seconds.

This will allow you to more effectively restore health and buff attacks when your allies fall. Even if you play without a shieldman, the bonus remains quite impressive, so it is not necessary to specifically place it on Xian Yun. |
| Eye of Oath ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-565 Attack Power: 6%-27,6% | Using an elemental skill increases energy recovery by 24%-48% within 10 sec. | One of the best epic options after the signature catalyst.

 Codex Favonia⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 Energy recovery: 10%-45,9% | Critical attacks have 60%-100% Chance to create elemental particles that restore 6 health. energy. Occurs once per 12-6 sec. | Weapons completely solve the problem with energy recovery, since this characteristic is presented in the main stat, and el. particles are given when Xian Yun criticizes opponents. Considering that the ult lasts 8 ticks, the effect can be activated even with low crit. chance. However, it is desirable that it be at least within 40-50%. |
| Skyward Atlas ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 48-674 Attack Power: 7,2%-33,1% | Increases elemental damage bonus by 12%-24%. When hit with a normal attack, there is a 50% chance to gain a blessing of the clouds, which for 15 sec. attack nearby enemies and damage them 160%-320% damage. Can occur once every 30 seconds. | The healer does not implement the passive effect of Xian Yun, however, the presence of attack power and a high base makes the catalyst quite a worthy option. Unlike the sub-DD build, awakening does not play any role, so already at R1 the catalyst gives the maximum that is needed for the healer build. |
 Prototype: Amber⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic Attack: 42-510 HP: 9%-41,3% | Within 6 sec. after using an elemental explosion it is restored 4-6 units energy every 2 seconds, and all members of the squad replenish 4%-6% HP every 2 sec. | Although HP is not needed by the Cloud Guardian, the weapon helps with energy recovery if the Oathsworn Eye or Codex of Favonius is not present. In certain situations this can be very useful, for example, if you can’t ult consistently. In addition, the book provides additional healing, which will be useful in the early stages of leveling up your character. |
 Wine and Song⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic Attack: 44-565 Energy recovery: 6,7%-30,6% | Normal attack hits reduce the stamina consumption of sprint and skills that replace sprint by 14-22% within 5 sec. Additionally, using sprint or a skill that replaces sprint increases attack power by 20-40% within 5 sec. | A good catalyst for restoring energy, but with a specific passive. It is necessary to do a sprint (jerk) to increase attack power. Since the buff lasts only 5 seconds, it is advisable to sprint before using the elemental explosion, so that most of the gain comes from the ultimate. |
 Ring of Hakushin⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 44-565 Energy recovery: 6,7%-30,6% | When a character equipped with this weapon causes an Electro element reaction, all nearby party members whose element matches this reaction receive 10%-20% bonus damage to own element for 6 sec. Elemental damage bonuses gained this way do not stack. | A weapon that is aimed at interacting with Electro characters and allowing them to deal more damage due to the bonus from the passive effect. In other cases, it becomes practically useless except for the energy restoration it provides. |
 Eye of Perception⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 41-454 Attack Power: 12%-55,1% | On hit with a Light or Charged Attack, there is a 50% chance to launch an Eye of Mind that deals 240% -360% attack power damage. It can bounce from enemy to enemy up to 4 times. May occur once per 12-8 sec. | Catalyst with increased attack power. The passive is of little interest, since causing damage is not the healer’s priority and, in general, the Keeper of the Clouds does not benefit from normal and charged attacks. Can be used as an alternative if the attack is severely lacking. |
 Dragon Slayer Epic⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 39-401 HP: 7,7%-35,2% | When switching to another squad member, increases the attack power of the character who entered the battlefield by 24%-48% within 10 sec. Can occur once every 20 seconds. | A universal weapon for support characters. Xian Yun will not receive any benefit from it, but it can bring it to the rest of the squad, in particular the damage dealer. To do this, after using her skills, you need to switch directly to the main DD so that he receives a bonus to attack power. |
| Dreams of a thousand nights ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-542 Elemental Mastery: 58-265 | The character receives bonuses depending on the elements of allies. If the elements match, elemental mastery increases by 32-64 units If they do not match, the character receives 10%-26% damage bonus of its element. These effects stack up to 3 times. In addition, the Elemental Mastery of all nearby party characters increases by 40-48 units If other party members also have this weapon, the effect stacks. | Does not affect the heroine's healing abilities, but allows her to buff her allies' elemental mastery. In any case, she causes Dispel during the effect of the ult, so the characteristic itself will not harm her in any way either. Can be placed on the condition that enough attack power and energy recovery have been collected, and the team really benefits from an increase in MS. |
| wandering star ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic Attack: 42-510 Elemental Mastery: 36-165 | Every 10 sec. the following effect is triggered: the attack power of the character equipped with this weapon is increased by 24%-48% from Elemental Mastery for 12 sec. Nearby party members gain 30% of this effect. If other party members also have this weapon, the effect stacks. This effect triggers even if the equipped character is not on the battlefield. | Another weapon with a buff for the squad. In this case, you can receive a bonus to attack power depending on your elemental mastery and provide your allies with the same boost. Since the bonus on R1 is quite low, it is not advisable to use the catalyst without maximum awakening. |

 Mollusk of sea colors ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 2 parts: Increases healing bonus by 15%. 4 parts: When treated, the character creates for 3 sec. A bubble of sea colors that registers HP restored when treated. After the effect ends, the Bubble explodes and deals damage to surrounding enemies equal to 90% of the healing amount taken into account. A bubble of sea colors can be created no more than once every 3,5 seconds. The bubble can record up to 30 HP restored. This effect applies even if the character equipped with the artifact set is not on the battlefield. | An alternative healing set that similarly allows you to deal damage.

Units for Xian Yun (Guardian of the Clouds)
Xian Yun is a support character whose main task is to heal allies and apply buffs to them associated with falling attacks. Ideal candidates for the Xian Yun squad are those who: either already have this ability, or can use increased jump height and attack from the fall without harming other gameplay mechanics.
Guardian of the Clouds is also capable of taking the position of sub-deader. In this case, the Adept remains a support, but focuses on dealing damage rather than healing. This is relevant provided that the team already has a pumped-up healer or the allies do not particularly need a large amount of healing. She, of course, will still heal, but not as productively.
If desired, the heroine can be placed as the basis of the group. However, from an implementation point of view, this is not the most optimal choice, since there are other damage dealers capable of better fulfilling this role. The Adept is very demanding in this regard and may still be less effective. Despite this, the game allows you to use characters at your discretion, so a couple of units for Xian Yun main-dd will also be given as an example.
Best characters
Below are the heroes that are best suited for the Guardian of the Clouds squad.
Main-dd
Characters who occupy the main position and deal the main damage in the group:
| Character | Element | Weapon | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 Xiao |  Anemo |  A spear | Ideal for the role of damage dealer in combination with Xian Yun. It will increase the damage of his attacks when falling, and will also serve as an excellent battery and provide stable healing. |
 Fireplace |  Pyro |  Two-handed sword | Plays similarly when attacking when falling. He also receives a buff to this type of hit from his passive skill Air of Prosperity when HP is greater than or equal to 50%. |
 Diluc | Pyro | Two-handed sword | Dragonstrike – one of the strongest mechanics of the character, but not easy to execute. Thanks to Xian Yun, he will be able to deal increased damage from a jump without any problems. |
 Hu Tao | Pyro |  A spear | Capable of performing attacks while falling under the influence of electricity. skill. Although she doesn't need any healing, the buff will compensate for some of the loss from the passive, plus Xian Yun can be a sub-dam to avoid healing too much. |
 Klee | Pyro |  Catalyst | To achieve max. To benefit from classic rotation, Klee has to cancel animations, which is not always convenient. Xian Yun will open up new gameplay for her and make the game more dynamic. |
 Keqing |  electro |  One handed sword | Sets a mark with a skill, due to which it can attack from a height. Keeper of the Clouds will allow the heroine to use such attacks much more often and further strengthen them. |
 Chongyun |  Cryo | Two-handed sword | Gives himself and the rest of the Cryo squad an infusion if he is in the area of effect of his email. skill. Capable of doing good damage while under infusion. |
 Al-Haytham |  Dendro | One handed sword | During the existence of Mirrors of Light, if its attacks hit an enemy (including while falling), a Projection Strike is performed, dealing damage to Dendro in an area. |
 Kaveh | Dendro | Two-handed sword | When using an ult, Dendro receives an infusion and an expanded area of effect for all types of attacks. |
Sub-dd
Characters that deal damage outside the battlefield:
| Character | Element | Weapon | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
 Furina |  Hydro | One handed sword | One of the strongest buffers and sub-deaders. Increases the damage of allies, but in return gradually removes their health, which is why it has good synergy with healers who heal the entire squad at once. |
 Mona | Hydro |  Catalyst | With an elemental skill, he distracts enemies, and with his ultimate, he encloses them in a bubble, which subsequently explodes and deals Hydro damage to the area. |
 Xingqiu | Hydro | One handed sword | A convenient character in terms of Hydro applications. The problem with his combination with Xian Yun is the need to use normal attacks to inflict status. This is achievable, but makes rotation more difficult. The same applies to Ye Lan. |
 Ganyu | Cryo |  Bow | In the case of the Guardian of the Clouds, it plays from the explosion of the elements. Since the ultimate attacks over a large area, it allows you to create reactions with damage and Xian Yun herself. |
 Keia | Cryo | One handed sword | While the ult is active, three pieces of ice are created, spinning around the active ally and dealing Cryo damage to nearby enemies. |
 Rosary | Cryo | A spear | Sub-dd with a quick cooldown of abilities. With an elemental explosion, it deals damage from the pocket and increases the critical chance. hits. |
 Dehya | Pyro | Two-handed sword | Creates a field in which fire damage is dealt to enemies, and part of the damage received by allies is transferred to Dehye herself. |
 Xiangling | Pyro | A spear | Damages enemy targets using el. skill and a fire whirlwind of an elemental explosion. E-shkoy also increases attack power if an ally picks up a Goba pepper. |
 Yae Miko | electro | Catalyst | Places totems that periodically damage nearby enemies. Ultimate – explosive area damage. |
 Raiden | electro | A spear | When characters under the influence of her E-shki attack enemies, they conduct a joint Electro strike across the area. |
 Fischl | electro | Bow | Summons a raven that attacks with electricity outside the battlefield. All skills recharge fairly quickly, which allows you to maintain Electro status on an ongoing basis. |
 Kazuha | Anemo | One handed sword | Helps Xian Yun restore energy faster, and also compensates for her lack of screed. Increases elemental damage when in contact with elements. |
 Venti | Anemo | Bow | Possesses an extremely powerful screed against the explosion of the elements. Restores energy after the end of the ult to the characters whose element it absorbed. |
 Sucrose | Anemo | Catalyst | If Kazuha is not available, can be used for crowd control. Although it does not increase el. damage, gives elemental mastery, which is useful when playing through reactions. |
 Lynette | Anemo | One handed sword | An elemental explosion deals damage to Anemo in an area. Increases attack power if the squad contains heroes with different types of elements. At C1, he gains the ability to pull enemies together. |
Sapports
Characters who provide support to allies in the form of buffs, as well as healing and shields (if Xian Yun is a sub-dd and the team lacks healing):
| Character | Element | Weapon | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
 Bennett | Pyro | One handed sword | Can act as additional support not only as a healer, but also as a buffer, increasing the attack power of characters within the area of effect of his ultimate. |
 Thoma | Pyro | A spear | Provides allies with a shield. On the last constellation, increases the damage of all types of attacks by 15%, which includes falling strikes. |
 Faruzan |  Anemo |  Bow | The best support for Anemo damage dealers. Reduces enemies' resistance to this element and gives allies a damage bonus if they deal damage with any Anemo attacks. |
 Laila | Cryo | One handed sword | Casts a fairly strong shield. Deals damage to Cryo outside the battlefield with a skill and an elemental explosion. |
 Charlotte | Cryo |  Catalyst | Capable of occupying the position of both a healer and a sub-deader. Restores HP to all squad members with an ult, and deals damage from the pocket with a skill. |
 Shen He | Cryo | A spear | An excellent support character for Cryo squads. Reduces resistance to this element and gives a bonus to damage. Additionally, the passive increases the damage of all attacks by 15%. |
 Kokomi |  Hydro | Catalyst | The skill summons a jellyfish that deals Hydro damage and heals the nearest ally. Attacks during the ult. |
 Shinobu | electro | One handed sword | Gradually restores the health of one team member using an elemental skill. At the same time, she herself loses a little health, so she will need additional health. treatment. |
 Dory | electro | Two-handed sword | Heals the character with his ultimate and restores his energy, creating a connection with the genie. When this connection touches an enemy, he receives Electro damage. |
 Noelle |  Geo | Two-handed sword | Creates a shield, heals and deals damage during an elemental explosion. Can retrain as a damage dealer and use attacks while falling. |
 Zhongli | Geo | A spear | Owner of the strongest shield in the game. In addition, it reduces the elemental and physical resistance of enemies. Deals area damage with an ult. |
Top Teams
Let's look at examples of units for Xian Yun.
| Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiao |  Furina XianglingDehya Fischl | Faruzan Genie (C4) |  Xian Yun | A strong squad with Xiao, where he maximizes his damage. The main idea of the build is that all supports sequentially use their elemental explosions, after which Xiao enters the field and starts attacking with his ultimate attacks while falling. The sequence of using ultimates is: Furina > Xian Yun > Faruzan > Xiao. If Furina is not available, you can place characters with damage outside the battlefield (if you need buffs, Bennett or Sarah are also suitable). Faruzan can replace Genie C4. If you want more damage from the pocket for Dispelling, instead of Anemo buffers, it makes sense to put a Pyro, Hydro, Cryo or Electro elemental sub-dd. |
 Diluc |  KeiaXiangling MonaXingqiu (or Ye Lan) |  KazuhaVenti  SucroseLynette (C1) | Xian Yun | A team with Dilyuk, who is the main damage dealer and plays from the attack in the fall. Any character capable of dealing damage from the pocket is suitable for the role of sub-dd (when using Xingqiu/Ye Lan, it is important to first hit with a regular poke before attacking while falling. Ye Lan can trigger a joint attack if he captures enemies in a thread with an E-shock and uses his ult and immediately switch to Diluc). Anemo characters help with the screed and act as a battery for Xian Yun. |
| Chongyun | GanyuKeia | Shen He | Xian Yun | Monocryo team with Chun Yun as the core of the group. Shen He provides a bonus to ice damage and also reduces enemies' resistance to this element. Ganyu or Kaya help with extra damage outside of the battlefield with their ultimates. Xian Yun buffs attacks while falling, heals and causes the Dispel reaction. |
| Fireplace | FurinaMonaRosaryKazuha | Xian Yun |  Bennett Charlotte | Ka Ming is a fall attack type, so it pairs well with Cloud Guardian's buffs, which will also provide him with consistent healing. To achieve the greatest damage from this team, it is advisable to place Furina in the second slot, and Bennett as a healer, so that he closes the Pyro resonance and increases the attack power. As an alternative to Furine, you can consider Mona, Rosaria or Kazuha, and instead of Bennett, for example, Charlotte or any other healer. |
Hu Tao Klee | FurinaMonaRosary Ye Lan (or Xingqiu) | Xian Yun |  ZhongliLaila Thoma | Hu Tao/Kli change their specialization and use fall attacks instead of charged attacks. Depending on the preferred reaction, Hydro or Cryo characters are placed next to them, who deal damage from the pocket. In the case of Ye Lan/Xingqiu, it is important to remember that before attacking while falling, you need to hit the enemy with a regular poke to inflict Hydro damage, or for Ye Lan, before the ult, capture enemies in threads and immediately switch to the damage dealer. The support is provided by shield warriors, for example, Zhong, Layla or Toma. |
| Al-HaythamKaveh |  Yae MikoRaidenFischlSucrose | Xian Yun |  Kokomi Barbara | Squad through the Vegetation. Al-Haytham or Kaveh are the main damage dealers with Dendro infusion. Due to her ult, the Guardian of the Clouds can make attacks while falling and deal increased damage. Electro heroes apply out-of-battlefield status to enemies to turn buds into projectiles. Kokomi/Barbara create the cores themselves through interaction with Dendro. In the second position, you can put an Anemo character, for example, Sucrose, to make a squad exclusively through Budding. |
| Keqing |  Nahida Dendro the hero | Xian Yun | Shinobu Dory | Squad through Stimulation with Keqing in the main-dd position. Nahida/Dendro GG apply Dendro status to create a reaction. Xian Yun uses Elemental Burst to increase Keqing's jump height as well as her fall attack damage. Shinobu/Dori help with additional healing and can carry Favonia weapons if the Guardian of the Clouds or other characters do not have time to activate their elemental explosions in a timely manner. |
 Wanderer Heizou | Xingqiu Ye Lan | XianglingDehya | Xian Yun | The Wanderer primarily plays from the electric post. skill and therefore practically does not use attacks while falling, however, Xian Yun can simply be a healer and a battery for him if there is a strong desire to put them together or, for example, there are no other Anemo healers available. Although Heizo does not have a stance, his gameplay involves building stacks and then using an enhanced E-shka. To do this, he does not need attacks in the fall, but if necessary, they can be included in the rotation. |
| Xian Yun | Furina | Faruzan (C6) | Bennett | Build option with Xian Yun main-dd. With balanced stats and high crits. In terms of indicators in such a team, she is able to show good results. All allies provide her with the necessary buffs: increasing all damage from Furina and attack power from Bennett, increasing Anemo damage and reducing Anemo resistance of enemies from Faruzan. If the archer does not have C6, the unit will still remain working, but the damage will drop a little. |
| Xian Yun | Xiangling Keia | Lynette Anemo hero | Bennett | Budget team with Xian Yun, who is the main damage dealer. Free Kaeya or Xiangling are excellent secondary damage dealers that can deal decent damage from the pocket. Lynette is a battery and a buffer, increases attack power by 12-16%, and will also provide a screed at C1 (you can put Anemo Traveler). Bennett is a healer. In addition to healing, it similarly increases attack, but through the use of an elemental explosion. |
Guide to Xian Yun: how to play as a character
Xian Yun's gameplay consists of sequential use elemental explosion to provide allies with treatment and buffs that increase jump height and attack damage when falling. Accordingly, to gain energy, she also needs to use elemental skill – it similarly provides a boost due to the passive skill “White Feather on a Good Wind” if the Guardian of the Clouds hits opponents with a falling attack under the influence of E-shka.
Regardless of the chosen role, the rotation remains approximately the same, since with an explosion of elements the Adept not only heals and buffs, but also damages outside the battlefield. The only difference is that in the sub-dd position the heroine can use el. skill more often to deal extra damage. In both builds, it is not advisable to activate the skill more than 1-2 times, since the process takes a lot of time due to the long animation. Most often, 1 jump is enough - in any case, 5 particles of energy always fall out.
Rotation
E (elemental skill) > falling attack > Q (explosion of elements)
Let’s take a closer look at the construction of Xian Yun’s rotation:
- Considering that the heroine’s ultimate has a duration of 16 seconds, she should enter the battlefield first or second.
- After switching to Xian Yun, use email. skill 1 time (as a sub-dd, you can do it 2 times). While she is in the Sky Ladder jump, press the attack button to perform a Floating Cloud Wave fall attack. This will also activate the passive skill "White Field on the Good Wind" for 20 seconds.
- When the Elemental Burst charges, use it to deal area damage to Anemo, as well as activate healing and buffs. Immediately after this, change to the main damage dealer.
- For main dd, use key skills. Then jump and press the attack button to deal falling damage. Repeat this action 8 times until the Adept Support effect ends.
If the ult does not have time to charge at the moment of Xian Yun's jump, do not attack while falling. This will reduce the cooldown of the next E-shka by 3 seconds.
Сonclusion
Xian Yun in Genshin impact – 5 ⭐ Anemo character who can act as a secondary damage dealer or a full-fledged healer-buffer. The main feature of the Adept is his specialization in falling strikes. It not only increases the damage of this attack, but also increases the height of the jump, opening up a previously difficult mechanic for many damage dealers. Now "dragonstrike" becomes an integral part of the rotation if the team has Xian Yun. Characters who originally specialized in this type of attack get an ideal support, while others get the opportunity to experiment and discover new types of gameplay.
As a healer, the Guardian of the Clouds is also easy to assemble, as she has enough attack power and energy recovery to consistently provide buffs and healing to her allies. Considering the character's low stats, she is not the best candidate for the main DD position. Even among epics, you can find alternatives that require less investment. Nevertheless, she can still contribute damage as a sub-dd, since in this case she acts as an additional source of damage and is less demanding on stats, allies and constellations.
