Role: Plunging Attack Support / Teamwide Healer
Best For: Players who want strong teamwide healing and powerful Plunging Attack support, especially for Xiao or teams that convert other characters into Plunging Attack damage dealers.
1. Recommended Artifacts
4-Piece Viridescent Venerer — A strong general option when Xianyun supports Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo damage dealers, reducing enemy Elemental RES through Swirl.
Alternative: 4-Piece Noblesse Oblige is especially useful in Xiao teams or when no other teammate is using it. Ocean-Hued Clam can also convert Xianyun’s large amount of healing into additional damage.
2. Recommended Weapons
Premium: Crane’s Echoing Call
Alternatives: Favonius Codex, Oathsworn Eye
F2P: Flowing Purity
Crane’s Echoing Call provides high Base ATK, strengthens the team’s Plunging Attacks, and helps reduce Xianyun’s Energy requirements. Favonius Codex is an excellent alternative when additional Energy is needed for Xianyun and the rest of the team.
3. Recommended Teams
Xiao Hypercarry: Xiao + Xianyun + Faruzan + Furina
Hu Tao Plunge: Hu Tao + Xianyun + Furina + Yelan
Gaming Plunge: Gaming + Xianyun + Furina + Bennett
Xianyun’s Burst increases the active character’s jump height, allowing characters who normally cannot perform repeated Plunging Attacks to incorporate them into their rotations. Her teamwide healing also has excellent synergy with Furina by helping generate Fanfare stacks.
4. Main Stats / Substats
Sands: Energy Recharge / ATK%
Goblet: ATK%
Circlet: ATK% / CRIT Rate with Favonius
Priority: Energy Recharge until needed → ATK% → CRIT Rate with Favonius
Xianyun needs enough Energy Recharge to use her Burst consistently because both her healing and Plunging Attack support depend heavily on it. Once her Energy requirements are covered, ATK becomes the main priority because her Plunging Attack buff scales with her ATK, reaching its effective cap at 4,500 ATK.
5. Playstyle
Use Xianyun’s Elemental Skill to generate Anemo particles, then activate her Elemental Burst before switching to your main damage dealer. Her Burst provides continuous teamwide healing while allowing the active character to jump higher and repeatedly perform Plunging Attacks.
Her support rotation requires relatively little field time, making her easy to integrate into Plunging Attack teams. Prioritize her Burst first, followed by her Skill; her Normal Attack Talent can generally remain unleveled for a standard support build.
6. F2P
Xianyun does not require Crane’s Echoing Call to perform her core support role. Flowing Purity is permanently craftable and provides useful ATK, while Favonius Codex is often even more practical when available because it helps solve her potentially high Energy requirements.
F2P players should prioritize reliable Burst uptime first, then increase Xianyun’s ATK. Her ability to enable Plunging Attacks and provide teamwide healing comes primarily from her kit rather than her signature weapon.
*StoryBillion Tip: Do not stack ATK while ignoring Xianyun’s Energy Recharge. Her Plunging Attack buff scales with ATK, but she needs her Burst available consistently to provide that support. Meet her ER requirement first, then build toward higher ATK.
