Overview
Xianyun combines party healing with higher jumps and a limited plunge-damage bonus. She enables repeated plunges for another attacker, but Energy and the finite assistance budget still shape the window.
Role
ATK-scaling healer / plunge enabler
Playstyle
Take a brief Skill plunge and Burst setup, then let the intended attacker spend the assistance stacks.
Why It Works
Healing and the native plunge damage addition scale with ATK.
Watch For
Her support does not convert every attack into plunge damage; the attacker still needs to perform the appropriate action.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Support setup → Skill-plunge → Burst → carry’s plunge sequence.
Key Notes
Her Burst grants eight jump-height/plunge-assistance stacks.
The added plunge damage applies to one enemy per shockwave, not every target hit.
ATK improves both healing and the plunge bonus.
Normal Attack-triggered supports need a Normal woven between plunges.

Elemental Skill
White Clouds at Dawn
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.
