Xian Yun in Genshin Impact: A Guide to Creating the Best Build

Tips for building a Heron as a healer and secondary damage dealer.

В Genshin impact Cloud Guardian Xian Yun combines a healer, a buffer, and can also be used as a secondary damage dealer. First of all, she stands out for her ability, which allows any ally to use the mechanics of attacks while falling, which not only strengthens the damage dealers tied to them, but also brings variety to the battle process for others.

It is impossible not to note the ability of the heron with several jump charges, which significantly simplifies the exploration of the world, full of obstacles in the form of mountains and reservoirs. Its assembly is quite simple and depends only on the ATK parameter, but the gameplay of the heroine requires a strict order of using the skills of squad and knowledge of the subtleties.

History (biography)

Xian Yun is a wise Adept who has lived in Liyue for over 1000 years and bears the title of Guardian of the Clouds. Like other of this group, she is called upon to protect the Geo Kingdom from the influence of demonic forces and evil deities. The traveler meets her as part of the plot of the region, where she appears in the form of a white heron. Living in a remote place on Mount Aotsang, the Guardian of the Clouds led a hermit's life for many centuries. However, over time, she became interested in worldly life and cooking, deciding to settle among people under a new name.

Cloud Guardian

The girl gives the impression of being a cheerful and talkative person, although she considers herself reserved and dignified, which is a bit of a contrast to the generally accepted idea of ​​her. She is a master of mechanisms and loves to create various useful devices, one of which is the "Exquisite Mini Soup Pot". No one knows exactly what this mysterious device is, but it is known that it improves the taste of any dish. Her personality arouses indefinable interest, and many are even sure that she is a great hero hiding under a pseudonym.

The development of the story can be found in the legends quest "Free Crane: A Thousand Moonlight Miles".

Abilities

Xian Yun is an Anemo Catalyst who specializes in healing and buffs. Thanks to his elemental skill, he can make powerful jumps, which makes exploring the open world comfortable. Heals all allies with an elemental explosion, and also allows the active hero to perform attacks while falling, simultaneously increasing their damage.

Basic skills (active skills)

Next, we will analyze in detail how the heroine's skills work and in what sequence it is best to pump them. We will separately consider all ives, and also take out and discuss the cons that are recommended to pay attention to first.

Wind and Flower Word (normal/charged/fall attack)

Wind and Flower Word (normal/charged/fall attack)

Normal kick: Fires 4 consecutive shots from the catalyst, dealing Anemo damage.

Charged Strike: Costs 50 stamina and releases a wind ring in front of him that deals Anemo damage to all enemies in its path.

Impact in the fall: Swiftly flies to the ground, striking all enemies encountered with Anemo element in the area.

Basic attacks have decent multipliers, but are almost never used in any build. However, Cloudkeeper is a catalyst, so she can use them to create a Disperse reaction.

White Clouds at Dawn (Elemental Skill)

White Clouds at Dawn (Elemental Skill)

Rollback time: 12 sec.

Description: Enters the Cloud Transformation state, which makes her immune to falling damage, and uses Sky Ladder. In this state, falling attacks turn into Drifting Cloud Wave, which deals area-of-effect Anemo damage and ends the Cloud Transformation state. This damage is considered as falling attack damage. Each use of Sky Ladder increases the damage and spread area of ​​the next Drifting Cloud Wave.

Features Heavenly staircase:

  • Can be activated in mid-air. The Heron dashes forward and hits all enemies in its path.
  • While the Cloud Transformation state is active, the Sky Ladder can be used up to 3 times. One enemy can only be damaged by the Sky Ladder once.
  • If the Sky Ladder is not activated within a short period of time, the Cloud Transformation condition will disappear.
  • If you do not cast Drifting Cloud Wave while in Cloud Transformation, the cooldown of the ability is reduced by 3 seconds.
  • If you press the attack button while hovering, Cloud Guardian will perform a special attack while falling and end the state. Its damage increases after the second and third jumps. The skill always generates 5 energy particles, so it is not necessary to make two or more dashes.
Twilight Plexus of Stars (Elemental Explosion)

Twilight Plexus of Stars (Elemental Explosion)

Duration: 16 sec.

Time rollback: 18 sec.

Consumption energy: 70 units

Summons a divine wind that deals Anemo damage to the area, restores health to all allies proportional to the heroine's ATK, and creates the "Star Weave" mechanism.

Features Plexus of stars:

  • Follows the active hero for 16 seconds and restores HP to nearby allies every 2,5 seconds.
  • Initially, it has 8 levels of Adept . While Adept is active, the jump height of active squad increases.
  • When the active hero performs a falling attack, Star Weave consumes 1 level of Adept and deals Anemo damage to the area.
  • Only one Star Tangle can exist on the battlefield.

ive skills

List of all heron ives:

Talent 1: White Feather on a Blessed Wind

White feather in the good wind

Each enemy hit by the Wave of Floating Clouds (Heron's Falling Attack) of the White Clouds at Dawn skill grants all nearby party 20 level of Feather in the Wind for 1 seconds. The effect stacks up to 4 times and increases the critical hit rate of a falling attack by 4%/6%/8%/10% respectively. The duration of Feather in the Wind levels generated by hitting an enemy is calculated separately.

Talent 2: Adept in his abode

Adept in his abode

Weaving the Elemental Explosion Stars with the active Adept increases the damage of the shockwave of the attack in the fall of nearby allies by 200% of Xian Yun's attack power. The maximum increase in damage is no more than 9. One strike in the fall can only deal this increased damage to one target. Each hero can activate the effect once every 000 seconds.

To get the maximum buff, Cloud Guardian must have 4 ATK.

Talent 3: Crane Form

Crane shape

Increases the hover speed of all squad by 15%. Does not stack with ive talents that provide exactly the same effects.

The order of leveling talents

Elemental Burst (Q) > Elemental Skill (E) > Normal Attacks

Explosion of the elements is aimed at healing the team and applying buffs that increase damage while falling. At the same time, it allows for damage in the area and outside the battlefield due to the Weave of Stars, so it is a priority for both roles. Elemental Skill in the sub-damage position, you can raise it to level 6-8 to deal additional damage, and normal attacks leave at level 1 or lvl 6-8 after all abilities if desired. As a healer, other skills, except for the ult, do not need to be upgraded.

Constellations

All the heroines' cons
Name Effect
1: Wind of Purification Increases the number of charges of the elemental skill White Clouds at Dawn by 1.
2: Withdrawing from the world After using the Heavenly Ladder (Jump) E-skill, the heron's attack power increases by 20% for 15 sec. In addition, the Adept ive talent in his abode is enhanced: Weaving the stars of the elemental explosion increases the shockwave of the strike in the fall of nearby allies by 400% of the Custodian of Clouds's ATK parameter. The maximum increase in damage is no more than 18. One strike in the fall deals increased damage to only one target. Each hero can activate the effect once every 000 sec. Requires unlocking the Adept ive talent in his abode.
3: Creation of the Star and the Moon Level Twilight Star Weave (Elemental Burst) +3.
Max. level: 15.
4: Mysterious Pearl Millet Hitting a Heron Fall Strike during the same E. Skill while Sky Ladder (Jump) is used 1/2/3 times will restore HP to all nearby party equal to 50%/80%/150% of Cloud Guardian's attack power. This effect can occur once every 5 seconds.
5: Riding on the Clouds Level White clouds at dawn (electronic skill) +3.
Max. level: 15.
6: Cloud Guardian Spirit After the Heron uses Sky Ladder (Jump) 1/2/3 times during the same E. skill, its Critical Hit Damage while falling increases by 15%/35%/70% respectively. Within 16 seconds after using Elemental Burst, the E. skill does not go into cooldown. After 8 skill activations, this effect disappears.

The best constellations of Xian Yun - С1, С2 и С6:

  • first constellation allows you to use an elemental skill twice (like C1 alchemist Sucrose). In other words, it deals more damage in one go and restores energy faster, but at the same time, it requires you to be on the battlefield longer than usual.
  • Second constellation increases the ATK stat after using an electric skill, and also doubles the effect of the ive "Adept in his Abode". All this provides an increase in blows during the fall of the active character (by about 20%), increases healing and the heroine's own damage.
  • sixth constellation Unleashes the potential of the Guardian of the Clouds as a damage dealer by maximizing the numbers from her attacks while falling. In addition, while the ult is active, the elemental skill can be used without a cooldown, but no more than 8 times.

The most optimal constant is С2. It is located almost at the beginning and gives the most noticeable bonus for both the heroine and the team. The other constellations are more situational, so there is no need to knock them out purposefully.

How to play as Xian Yun

Xian Yun's abilities lie in the consistent use of elemental explosion to provide allies with healing and buffs that increase jump height and fall damage. Accordingly, to gain energy, she also needs to use elemental skill - it similarly provides a boost due to the ive skill "White Feather on a Good Wind" if the Guardian of the Clouds hits enemies while falling under the influence of E-shka.

Regardless of the chosen role, the rotation remains approximately the same, since the Adept's ultimate not only heals and buffs, but also deals damage outside the battlefield. The only difference is that in the sub-DD position, the heroine can use the el. skill more often to deal additional damage. In both builds, activating the skill more than 1-2 times is not advisable, since the process takes a lot of time due to the long animation. Most often, 1 jump is enough - in any case, 5 energy particles always drop.

Rotation

Procedure: E (Elemental Skill) > Falling Attack > Q (Elemental Burst)

Let's take a closer look at the construction of rotation:

  1. Considering that the heroine’s ultimate has a duration of 16 seconds, she should enter the battlefield first or second.
  2. After switching to Xian Yun, use the E-skill 1 time (you can use it 2 times as a sub-DD). While she is in the jump "Heavenly Ladder", press the attack button to perform a falling attack "Floating Cloud Wave". This will also activate the ive "White Field on the Blessed Wind" for 20 seconds.
  3. Once Elemental Burst is charged, use it to hit the area with Anemo, as well as activate healing and buffs. Immediately after that, swap to your main damage dealer.
  4. For main dd, use key skills. Then jump and press the attack button to deal falling damage. Repeat this action 8 times until the Adept effect ends.

If the ult doesn't have time to charge when the heron jumps, don't perform a falling attack. This will reduce the cooldown of the next E by 3 seconds.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let's take a closer look at the positive and negative aspects of the Adept.

Advantages Disadvantages
Buffer and healer rolled into oneThe Cloud Guardian's arsenal of abilities includes both enhancing skills that have a significant impact on damage and open up new gameplay, as well as healing ones that restore HP for the entire team. No screed. One of the key advantages of many Anemo s is the presence of control, which is not present in the mechanics of the girl. In situations where a tightening is necessary, you will have to put the appropriate heroes to help.
Makes open world exploration easier. Can easily and comfortably move around any location by using the jump from the elemental skill - mountains or small bodies of water are no longer an obstacle. Expensive elemental explosion — 70 units of energy. At the same time, the ult is an important source of buffs and healing, which means its stable use plays an important role. The solution to this problem is a second Anemo hero in the pack, Favonius' weapon or signal.
The main feature of the heron is Increased jump height and damage of allies' falling attacks. This is a buffnet and heroes who initially specialize in such mechanics (Fireplace), and other main-dd, especially if they have infusions. Low own damage. Keeper of the Clouds cannot boast of “exorbitant” indicators, and with C6 she is inferior to many damage dealers. As a sub-DD, he performs better, but you will still need to balance your stats.
Xian Yun is easy to collect, since in the role of it is enough to pump such characteristics as ATK and energy recovery to benefit the team. The rest of the stats are selected according to the situation - for example, crits make sense only in a sub-dd build. Weak main-dd potential. If desired, it can be the basis of a group on C0, but in this case it is difficult to assemble and implement: high crits are needed, a lot of ATK parameters, Bennett. And even then you can find more suitable damage dealers.
Flexible play style. Custodian of Clouds is a hero who is capable of not only healing and strengthening allies, but also simultaneously dealing damage on the battlefield with a skill and “from the pocket” with an elemental explosion. Doesn't work well with stand-up heroes (Hu Tao etc.) this does not apply.
Friendly to F2P players. She doesn't require constellations or signature weapons to realize her potential. While this can make the game more enjoyable, it's not strictly necessary. Long animation email. skill. This does not cause any particular inconvenience in the open world, but it can "spoil" the rotation. In particular, it also negatively affects the damage from the skill, since it is affected by the number of jumps, and this process takes a lot of time on the battlefield.
Is an Anemo catalyst, which allows him to cause Dispersion not only with abilities, but also with hand strikes if necessary. If you equip the set "Viridescent Venerer", the usefulness of the reaction also increases greatly.
Treatment applies to all squad , and then periodically restores HP. This will provide allies with stable healing in any situation, and will also provide good synergy with Furina.

  • The Devouring Narwhal.
  • Crown of Insight - an item for pumping talents up to level 10.

Best builds for Xian Yun

Heron specializes in healing the team and buffing attacks while falling. This makes her a great , as she increases the jump height and hits from above for any heroes. At the same time, she is able to independently damage with an elemental explosion outside the battlefield and an elemental skill. The Xian Yun build is divided into two types:

  • Healer build. In this case, only energy recovery, so that the ult charges faster.
  • Build sub-dd. There is more emphasis on the heroine's own numbers, so in addition to ATK and energy recovery, there is a need for Crete. damage and crit chance. hits.

Let's look at the features of each variation separately to decide in which situation it is more advantageous to use one or another build.

Healer Assembly Assembly sub-dd
Easy to implement and execute, as there is no need to carefully balance the characteristics. Selecting stats becomes more difficult, since in addition to ATK and energy recovery, crits are no less important.
Suitable for beginners or in difficult fights, when stable healing is more important than the character's personal damage. The healing is not as intense, but your own damage from the electric skill and ultimate increases.
Optimal in the absence of healers who can maintain the health of the entire team at a high level. The build is effective if the pack has no problems with survivability or there are other pumped healers/shielders.

In addition, in the lower stats it will not be superfluous mastery of the elements, since in combination with other elements the Dispersion reaction will still occur during the ult. Note that in both builds the buffer potential is not particularly different. The only thing is that the bonus from the ive skill "Adept in his Abode" may be slightly higher in a healing build, since almost all artifacts are placed on ATK.

If desired, the Guardian of the Clouds can become the main damage dealer. However, to fully implement her as a DD, high and balanced crits (at least 70-80% crit chance and 200+% crit damage) and a lot of ATK are required. In addition, it is desirable to have a squad with her Faruzan S6 and Bennett.

Then, even without the last constellation, she will show herself well. But, firstly, not every player can afford it, and secondly, even such an investment may not pay off 100%. The game allows you to collect characters as you like - the main part of the content will still be closed. However, from the point of view of the specifics of the heroine and her main focus, this is not the most appropriate investment. She can be made main-dd, but only if you are not chasing numbers or are ready to seriously invest in the hero.

Recommended characteristic values

Regardless of the build chosen, the stats should include ATK, since it affects not only the effectiveness of healing and the buff of attacks while falling from the ive, but also its own damage. Energy recovery similarly retains its priority, however in the position of a healer the need for this characteristic further increases.

Best weapon

The weapon is selected depending on the role that the heron plays in the team. Let's consider all suitable catalysts separately.

Weapons for Xian Yun sub-dd

The weapon of the Adept sub-dd should be aimed primarily at developing damage characteristics that increase their own numbers: ATK, crits, elemental damage.

Name Description Recommendation
The loud call of a crane
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
49-741
ATK:
3,6%-16,5%
After the equipped character's Fall attacks hit an enemy, nearby party ' Fall attack damage is increased by 28-80% for 20 sec. Hits from nearby party falling restore 2,5-3,5 units energy of the equipped hero. Energy can be restored in this way once every 1 sec. Xian Yun's signature ability is perfect for any build: high base ATK, increased attacks while falling, additional energy regeneration. To get all the buffs, attack while falling, and after using the ult, do the same for other heroes several times.
Skyward Atlas
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
48-674
Attack Power:
7,2%-33,1%
Increases elemental damage bonus by 12%-24%. When hit with a normal attack, there is a 50% chance to gain a blessing of the clouds, which for 15 sec. attack nearby enemies and damage them 160%-320% damage. Can occur once every 30 seconds. Catalyst offers a bonus to ATK and elemental damage. Although the second part of the ive effect is not always possible to implement, since the heroine rarely uses punches in rotation, the weapon is still quite strong.
Memory of dust
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
46-608
Attack Power:
10,8%-49,6%
Increases shield strength by 20%-40%. On hit, increases attack power by 4%-8% within 8 sec. The effect can stack up to 5 times and occur every 0.3 seconds. In addition, while protected by a shield, the attack power bonus of this effect is increased by 100%. Provides a lot of ATK characteristics, which is of great value to the heroine. The only thing is that to get the maximum bonus, you need to have a shield. Since in the sub-dd position the heron is more focused on damage than healing, this layout is quite acceptable. However, even without a shield, the book is extremely effective.
Kagura's Verity
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
46-608
Crete. damage:
14,4%-66,2%
Using an elemental skill gives the owner the "Kagura Dance" effect, which increases the damage of their elemental skill by 12%-24%. This effect lasts for 16 sec and can be stacked up to 3 times. At level 3 of the effect, the hero receives 12%-24% bonus damage to all elements. A weapon with a high critical damage rating will simplify the stat balance. An additional plus is the enhancement of the electric skill and a bonus to all elements. However, to get all the buff levels, you will have to make 3 jumps of the Heavenly Ladder, which takes a lot of time and is not always profitable.
Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Base stat:
46-608
Crit chance. hits:
7,2%-33,1%
Increases movement speed by 10%. During combat every 4 seconds gives 8-16% elemental damage bonus, stacking up to 4 times and ending when the character dies or leaves the battlefield. If Kagura helps with critical damage, then Prayer will allow you to get the necessary amount of critical chance. Of the ive effects, the elemental damage bonus is interesting, although then the heron should not leave the battlefield for about 16 seconds to get the max. buff. It is not necessary to strive for this, but it is worth considering that then the bonus will not be as high.
Treasury supervision
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Base stat:
48-674
Critical Hit Chance:
4,8-22,1%
Increases attack power by 16-32%. When the owner's current HP increases or decreases, normal attack damage increases by 4 sec. 16-32%, and a charged attack - by 14-28%. The effect stacks up to 3 times and occurs no more than once every 1 sec. When the equipped hero gains 0,3 levels, attack speed increases by 3%. Can be used to help balance crits and increase ATK. In addition, the weapon is legendary and therefore has a very high base. The second part of the ive effect is difficult to implement, and the bonus for normal and charged hits is not needed anyway.
The Widsith
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
42-510
Crete. damage:
12%-55,1%
When switching to a character within 10 sec. once every 30 sec. music plays that gives various buffs.

42-510
Crit chance. hits:
6%-27,6%
Normal attack hits increase elemental skill and elemental burst damage by 20-40% for 6 sec.

44-542
Elemental Mastery:
58-265
The owner receives bonuses depending on the allies' elements.

wandering star
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
42-510
Elemental Mastery:
36-165
Every 10 sec. the following effect is triggered: the attack power of the hero equipped with this weapon is increased by 24%-48% from Elemental Mastery for 12 sec. Nearby party gain 30% of this effect. If other party also have this weapon, the effect stacks. This effect triggers even if the equipped character is not on the battlefield. Increases the ATK of the owner and partially other of the pack. This boost will benefit the heroine and other allies if they play from ATK. Moreover, the ive activates itself every 10 seconds and works outside the battlefield. The problem is that the character does not place much emphasis on mastery of the elements, which is why the bonus is low, especially without R5.

The healer's Custodian of Clouds weapon should provide her with a large amount of ATK, as well as energy recovery. The other parameters are of no greater importance.

Name Description Recommendation
The loud call of a crane
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Basic stat:
49-741
ATK:
3,6%-16,5%
After an equipped character's fall attacks hit an enemy, nearby squad ' fall attack damage increases by 28-80% for 20 sec. Attack hits that fall to nearby squad are restored 2,5-3,5 units owner's energy. Energy can be restored in this way once every 1 sec. The signature weapon shows itself perfectly if the heroine takes the position of a healer, because ATK and energy recovery become especially important for her, which is what the weapon provides. Increasing the damage of hits when allies fall is also an excellent bonus, developing her buffer potential.
Memory of dust
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
46-608
Attack Power:
10,8%-49,6%
Increases shield strength by 20%-40%. On hit, increases attack power by 4%-8% within 8 sec. The effect can stack up to 5 times and occur every 0.3 seconds. In addition, while protected by a shield, the attack power bonus of this effect is increased by 100%. A good alternative that provides a high increase to ATK. This will allow you to restore health more effectively and buff hits when allies fall. Even if you play without a shield, the bonus remains quite impressive, so you don’t have to put it on purpose.
Eye of Oath
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
44-565
Attack Power:
6%-27,6%
Using an elemental skill increases energy recovery by 24%-48% within 10 sec. One of the best epic options after the signature catalyst.

Codex Favonia
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
42-510
Energy recovery:
10%-45,9%
Critical attacks have 60%-100% Chance to create elemental particles that restore 6 health. energy. Occurs once per 12-6 sec. The weapon completely solves the problem with energy recovery, since this characteristic is presented in the main stat, and el. particles are given when the heron crits enemies. Considering that the ult lasts 8 ticks, the effect can be activated even with a low crit. chance. However, it is desirable that it be at least within 40-50%.
Skyward Atlas
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
48-674
Attack Power:
7,2%-33,1%
Increases elemental damage bonus by 12%-24%. When hit with a normal attack, there is a 50% chance to gain a blessing of the clouds, which for 15 sec. attack nearby enemies and damage them 160%-320% damage. Can occur once every 30 seconds. The ive effect of the heron-healer does not implement, but the presence of ATK and a high base makes the catalyst a very worthy option. Unlike the sub-dd build, awakening does not play any role, so already at R1 the catalyst gives the maximum that is needed for the healer build.
Prototype: Amber
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Base stat:
42-510
HP:
9%-41,3%
Within 6 sec. after using an elemental explosion it is restored 4units energy every 2 seconds, and all of the squad replenish 4%6% HP every 2 sec.

Wine and Song
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
44-565
Energy recovery:
6,7%-30,6%
Normal attack hits reduce the stamina consumption of sprint and skills that replace sprint by 14-22% within 5 sec. Additionally, using sprint or a skill that replaces sprint increases attack power by 20-40% within 5 sec. A good catalyst for energy restoration, but with a specific ive. It is necessary to sprint (dash) to increase ATK. Since the buff lasts only 5 seconds, it is advisable to sprint before using the elemental explosion, so that most of the gain goes to the ultimate.
Ring of Hakushin
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Base stat:
44-565
Energy recovery:
6,7%-30,6%
When a character equipped with this weapon causes an Electro element reaction, all nearby party whose element matches this reaction receive 10%-20% bonus damage to own element for 6 sec.

Attack Power:
12%-55,1%
On hit with a Light or Charged Attack, there is a 50% chance to launch an Eye of Mind that deals 240% -360% attack power damage. It can bounce from enemy to enemy up to 4 times. May occur once per 128 sec. Catalyst with an ATK bonus. The ive is of little interest, since dealing damage is not a priority for the healer and in general, the Guardian of the Clouds does not play from normal and charged attacks. Can be used as an alternative if there is a serious lack of ATK.
Dragon Slayer Epic
⭐⭐⭐
Base stat:
39-401
HP:
7,7%-35,2%
When switching to another squad member, increases the attack power of the character who entered the battlefield by 24%-48% within 10 sec. Can occur once every 20 seconds.

Detachments

Guardian of the Clouds is a character whose primary job is to heal allies and apply buffs to them related to falling attacks. Ideal candidates for Xian Yun teams are those who either already have this ability or can use the ability to increase their jumps and attack from above without harming other gameplay mechanics.

Heron is also capable of taking the sub-DD position. In this case, the Adept remains a , but focuses on dealing damage rather than healing. This is relevant provided that the team already has a pumped healer or the allies do not particularly need a lot of healing. Of course, she will still heal, but not as productively.

If desired, the heroine can be put on the role of the group's core. However, from the point of view of implementation, this is not the most optimal choice, since there are other damage dealers who are better able to perform this role. Adept is very demanding in this regard and may still be less effective. Despite this, the game allows you to use characters at your own discretion, so a couple of squads for the main-dd heron will also be given as an example.

Best characters

Below are the heroes that would best fit into a heron pack.

Main-dd

Characters that occupy the main position and give out the main figures in the group:

Character Element Weapon Description
Xiao Anemo A spear Ideal for the role of damage dealer in combination with the heron. She will increase his damage while falling, will become an excellent battery and provide stable healing.
Fireplace Pyro Two-handed sword Plays similarly from falling hits. He also gets a buff on them from his ive skill Air of Welfare when HP is above or equal to 50%.
Diluc Diluc Pyro Two-handed sword Dragonstrike is one of the strongest mechanics of the character, but it is not easy to execute. Thanks to the heron, he will be able to use it without any problems.
Hu Tao Pyro A spear Able to hit while falling under the effect of the el. skill. Although she does not need healing, the buff compensates for some loss from the ive, and the Guardian of the Clouds can be a sub-DD so as not to heal too intensively.
Kli Pyro Catalyst To get the most out of Klee's classic rotation, you have to cancel out animations, which isn't always convenient. Heron will open up new gameplay for her and make the game more dynamic.
Keqing Keqing electro One handed sword Sets a mark with a skill, due to which it can fall from a height. The Guardian of the Clouds will allow the heroine to use such attacks much more often and will additionally strengthen them.
Chongyun Chongyun Cryo Two-handed sword Grants himself and the rest of the Cryo squad with infusion if they are within the area of ​​effect of his E-skill. Can deal decent damage while under N.
Al-Haytham Dendro One handed sword While Mirrors of Light are active, if it hits an enemy, it will perform a Projection Strike, dealing area damage to Dendro.
Kaveh Dendro Two-handed sword When using the ult, Dendro gains infusion and an expanded area of ​​effect for all types of attacks.

Sub-dd

Characters that deal damage outside of the battlefield:

Character Element Weapon Effects
Furina Hydro Hydro One handed sword One of the strongest buffers and sub-DD. Increases damage of allies, but in return gradually removes their health, which is why it has good synergy with healers who heal the entire squad at once.
Mona Mona Hydro Hydro Catalyst With an elemental skill, he distracts enemies, and with his ultimate, he encloses them in a bubble, which subsequently explodes and deals Hydro damage to the area.
Xingqiu Xingqiu Hydro Hydro One handed sword A convenient character in of Hydro application. The problem with his combo with Heron is that he needs to use punches to apply the status. This is achievable, but it complicates the rotation. The same applies to Ye Lan.
Ganyu Ganyu Cryo Bow In the case of the Custodian of Clouds, it plays from the explosion of the elements. Since the ultimate acts on a large area, it allows you to create reactions with the damager and the heron itself.
Keia Cryo One handed sword While the Ultimate is active, three ice floes are created that rotate around the active ally and deal Cryo to nearby enemies.
Rosary Rosary Cryo A spear Sub-DD with fast ability cooldown. Hits from the pocket with his ult and increases the chance of critical hit.
Dehya Pyro Two-handed sword Creates a field in which fire damage is dealt to enemies, and part of the damage received by allies is transferred to Dehye herself.
Xiangling Xiangling Pyro A spear Damages enemy targets using E skill and fire whirlwind with ultimate. E also increases ATK if an ally picks up Goba's pepper.
Yae Miko electro Catalyst Places totems that periodically deal damage to nearby enemies. Ultimate - area explosion.
Raiden electro A spear Under the influence of E, Electro hits enemies in an area together with his teammates.
Fischl electro Bow Summons a raven that strikes with electricity outside of the battlefield. All skills recharge fairly quickly, allowing you to maintain Electro status on a permanent basis.
Kazuha Anemo One handed sword Helps to restore energy faster, and also compensates for the lack of a tightening. Increases elemental damage when in with the elements.
Venti Venti Anemo Bow Has an extremely powerful elemental explosion tie. Restores energy after the end of the ult to the heroes whose element it absorbed.
Sucrose Anemo Catalyst If you don't have Kazuha, you can use it for crowd control. Although it doesn't increase E. DMG, it does give you MS, which is useful when playing through reactions.
Lynette Anemo One handed sword The ultimate hits Anemo in the area. Increases ATK if the squad contains heroes with different element types. At C1, gains the ability to pull enemies.

Sapports

Characters that provide to allies in the form of buffs, as well as heals and shields (if the heron is a sub-DD and the team lacks healing):

Character Element Weapon Effects
Bennett Pyro One handed sword Can act as an additional not only as a healer, but also as a buffer, increasing the ATK of characters in the area of ​​​​his ult.
volumes volumes Pyro A spear Provides allies with a shield. At the last constellation, increases the damage of all types of basic attacks by 15%.
Faruzan Anemo Bow The best for Anemo DD. Reduces enemy resistance to this element and gives allies a damage bonus when hitting with the corresponding element.
Laila Cryo One handed sword Provides a fairly strong shield. Hits Cryo outside the battlefield with a skill and ultimate.
Charlotte Cryo Catalyst Capable of occupying the position of both a healer and a sub-deader. Restores HP to all squad with an ult, and deals damage from the pocket with a skill.
Shen He Cryo A spear Excellent hero character for Cryo squads. Reduces resistance to this element and gives a bonus to damage. Additionally, the ive buffs all attacks by 15%.

Dory electro Two-handed sword Heals the hero with his ult and restores his energy by creating a link with the genie. When this link touches an enemy, he receives Electro damage.
Noelle Noelle Geo Two-handed sword Creates a shield and heals. During the action of the ultimate, can retrain into a damage dealer with Geo infusion.
Zhongli Geo A spear The owner of the strongest shield in the game. In addition, it reduces the elemental and physical resistance of enemies. It hits the area with an ult.

Top Teams

Let's look at some examples of Custodian of Clouds squads.

Character 1 Character 2 Character 3 Character 4 Features
Xiao Furina Xiangling DehyaFischl Fischl Faruzan Genie (C4) Xian Yun The basic idea is that all the s use their elemental bursts in sequence, after which Xiao comes out and starts hitting with his ult.
The sequence of using ultimates is: Furina > Xian Yun > Faruzan > Xiao.
If you don't have Furina, you can put another sub-DD (if you need buffs, Bennett or Sarah will also work). Faruzan can replace Djinn C4. If you want more numbers from your pocket for Dispel, instead of Anemo buffers, it makes sense to put sub-DDs of Pyro, Hydro, Cryo or Electro elements.
Diluc Diluc Keia Keia XianglingMona MonaXingqiu Xingqiu (or Ye Lan) Kazuha KazuhaVenti Venti Sucrose Sucrose Lynette (C1) Xian Yun Team with Diluc from falling attacks. Any allies capable of hitting from the pocket are suitable for the role of sub-dd (when using Xingqiu/Ye Lan, it is important to first use a regular poke before a falling attack. Ye Lan can trigger a t attack if you grab enemies in the threads with E, use the ult and immediately switch to Diluc). Anemo heroes help with a tightening, act as a battery for the heron.
Chongyun Chongyun Ganyu GanyuKeia Keia Shen He Xian Yun A Mono Cryo team with Chun Yun as the core of the group. Shen He provides a bonus to ice damage and also reduces enemy resistance to this element. Ganyu or Kaeya help hit outside the battlefield with their ultimates. Xian Yun buffs the poke while falling, heals, and causes the Dispel reaction.
Fireplace FurinaMona MonaRosary RosaryKazuha Kazuha Xian Yun Bennett Bennett Charlotte Ka Ming's gameplay goes well with the Cloud Guardian buffs, which also provides him with stable healing. To get the most out of this team, it's a good idea to put Furina in the second slot, and Bennett as a healer to close Pyro Resonance and increase ATK. As an alternative to Furina, you can consider Mona, Rosaria, or Kazuha, and instead of Bennett, for example, Charlotte or any other healer.
Hu TaoKli Kli FurinaMona MonaRosary RosaryYe Lan Ye Lan (or Xingqiu) Xian Yun Zhongli Zhongli Laila volumes Hu Tao/Kli change their specialization and use fall attacks instead of charged attacks. Depending on the preferred reaction, Hydro or Cryo characters are placed next to them, who deal damage from the pocket. In the case of Ye Lan/Xingqiu, it is important to that before attacking while falling, you need to hit the enemy with a regular poke to inflict Hydro damage, or for Ye Lan, before the ult, capture enemies in threads and immediately switch to the damage dealer. The is provided by shield warriors, for example, Zhong, Layla or Toma.
Al-Haytham Kaveh Yae Miko Yae Miko RaidenFischl FischlSucrose Sucrose Xian Yun Kokomi Barbara Squad through Vegetation. Al-Haitham or Kaveh are the main DDs who have Dendro infusion. Due to the ult, the Guardians of the Clouds can hit from above and deal increased damage. Electro heroes apply the status to enemies outside the battlefield to turn buds into projectiles. Kokomi/Barbara create the cores themselves due to interaction with Dendro. 
In the second position, you can put an Anemo teammate, for example, Sucrose, to make a squad exclusively through Budding.
Keqing Keqing Nahida Dendro the hero Xian Yun Shinobu Dory Example via Stimulation with Keqing in the main DD position. Nahida/Dendro MC apply Dendro status to perform a reaction. Heron uses Elemental Burst to increase Keqing's jump height and buff her lunges from above. Shinobu/Dori help with additional healing, can carry Favonius weapons if Adept or other characters do not have time to activate their Elemental Bursts in time.
Wanderer Heizo Xingqiu Xingqiu Ye Lan Xiangling Xiangling Dehya Xian Yun Wanderer mainly plays from the stance of the electric skill and therefore practically does not use attacks while falling, however Xian Yun can be just a healer and a battery for him, if there is a strong desire to put them together or, for example, there are no other Anemo healers available.
While Heizo doesn't have a stance, his gameplay involves stacking up and then using a powered up E. He doesn't require any downswings to do this, but they can be incorporated into the rotation if needed.
Xian Yun Furina Faruzan (C6) Bennett Bennett A variant of the build with Xian Yun main-dd. With balanced stats and high crit. indicators in such a team, she is able to show good results. All allies provide her with the necessary buffs: increasing all damage from Furina and ATK from Bennett, increasing Anemo damage and reducing enemy air resistance from Faruzan. If the archer does not have C6, the squad will still remain operational, but the damage will drop a little.
Xian Yun XianglingKeia Keia LynetteTraveler Anemo hero Bennett Bennett A budget team with Adept, who is the main DD. Free Kaeya or Xiangling are great secondary DDs, capable of producing decent numbers from the pocket. Lynette is a battery and buffer, increases ATK by 12-16%, on C1 she will also provide a tightening (you can put Anemo Traveler). Bennett is a healer. In addition to healing, he similarly increases ATK, but by using an elemental explosion.

Is it worth knocking out?

Xian Yun (Guardian of the Clouds)

Xian Yun — 5 ⭐ An Anemo character who can act as a secondary DD or a full-fledged healer-buffer. The main feature of the Adept is specialization in attacks while falling. It not only strengthens them, but also increases the height of the jump, opening up previously difficult to implement mechanics for many damage dealers. Now "dragonstrike" becomes an integral part of the rotation if there is a Heron on the team. Heroes who initially specialized in this mechanic get an ideal , and others get the opportunity to experiment and discover new types of gameplay.

Custodian of Clouds is also easy to assemble as a healer, since her ATK and energy regeneration are enough to consistently provide allies with buffs and heals. Given the heroine's low stats, she is not the best candidate for the main DD position. Even among epics, you can find alternatives that require less investment. However, she can still inflict damage as a sub-DD, since in this case she acts as an additional source of damage and is less demanding on stats, allies, and constellations.
