Sustain
Energy Recharge Requirements team composition. With Xiao leads, supported by 1 Skill, 135 - 150%, 125 - 135%.
Xiao acts as the primary Plunge DPS, utilizing Xianyun's unique buffs and healing to sustain his high-damage Burst state.
This specific energy configuration assumes a single Skill cast per rotation, placing the focus on maximizing Xianyun's ATK for her Plunge DMG buff.
This high Energy Recharge bracket ensures Xianyun can burst every rotation even in low-particle environments or without a second Anemo unit.
A moderate Energy Recharge target is sufficient when Xianyun is paired with high-particle generators or Favonius weapon users on the team.
Talents & Constellations
Talents
Xianyun performs a sequence of Catalyst-based Normal Attacks.
Enters Cloud Transmogrification and immediately uses Skyladder. Skyladder can then be used up to 2 more times before dealing a Plunging Attack. Each use of Skyladder increases AoE DMG of the Plunging Attack and also generates more Energy on the final attack.
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. 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.
