ATK

Word of Wind and Flower - Normal Attack

• Summons swirling winds to perform up to 4 attacks, dealing Anemo DMG.

SKILL

White Clouds at Dawn - Skill

• 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.

ULT

Stars Gather at Dusk - Ultimate

• 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 characters based on Xianyun's ATK.
  • Starts with 8 stacks of [Adeptal Assistance]. While Adeptal Assistance is active, nearby active characters will have their jump height increased.

P2

Galefeather Pursuit

• Each opponent hit by Driftcloud Waves from White Clouds at Dawn will grant all nearby party members 1 stack of Storm Pinion for 20s. Max 4 stacks.
• These will cause the characters' Plunging Attack CRIT Rate to increase by 4%/6%/8%/10% respectively.
• Each Storm Pinion created by hitting an opponent has an independent duration.

P3

Consider, the Adeptus in Her Realm

• When the Starwicker created by Stars Gather at Dusk has Adeptal Assistance stacks, nearby active characters' Plunging Attack shockwave DMG will be increased by 200% of Xianyun's ATK. The maximum DMG increase that can be achieved this way is 9,000.
• Each Plunging Attack shockwave DMG instance can only apply this increased DMG effect to a single opponent. Each character can trigger this effect once every 0.4s.

Crane's Echoing Call

• After the equipping character hits an opponent with a Plunging Attack, all nearby party members' Plunging Attacks will deal 28% increased DMG for 20s. When nearby party members hit opponents with Plunging Attacks, they will restore 2.5 Energy to the equipping character. Energy can be restored this way every 0.7s. This energy regain effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is not on the field.

Skyward Atlas

The "Waves of Days Past" effect is removed after it has taken effect 5 times or after 10s.
