Xianyun, previously introduced to players during the Liyue story arc as Cloud Retainer, finally became playable in Genshin Impact's version 4.4 update, promising players the chance to revive the popularity of some older characters with her unique support abilities and bring new gameplay styles to many other favorites. This is because Xianyun is a plunge attack support character, who not only enables inherently plunge attack-oriented characters like Xiao to perform better but can also enable other units to perform plunge attacks, thanks to her Elemental Burst increasing the jumping height of characters.
