Some Genshin Impact leaks about Xianyun have surfaced online, giving players an early look at the character's kit and animations. Xianyun will be the newest addition to Genshin Impact's ever-growing roster when she arrives in the game in version 4.4 alongside Gaming. The Liyue-based unit is described as an Adeptus, a magical being that is obliged to protect her homeland from demons and other threats. Not much information about her story background is revealed, but several credible insiders said Xianyun will be the main character in many 4.4 quests and events.
According to leaked information, Genshin Impact's version 4.4 will expand the roster of Liyue-based units, with whom players will explore new regions and dive into challenging fights against bosses. Chenyu Vale is one such location that will reportedly consist of smaller areas like Qiaoying Village, Jademouth, Chenlong Pool, and Yilong Wharf. It could be where players will meet Xianyun and Gaming, a pair of new characters that will reside in Liyue.
The latest Genshin Impact leaks from FouL and Dimbreath revealed a number of details about Xianyun, providing an insight into her kit and gameplay animations. The character performs a plunging attack that generates up to five orbs upon hitting, and she enters a combat state that allows her to use a technique and deal AoE damage three times. After using the elemental skill, Xianyun transforms into a wind crane and doles out a certain amount of damage. Her elemental burst, on the other hand, heals the whole team and creates a "Bamboo Star" that increases an ally's plunging attack damage and jump height.
Genshin Impact's Xianyun can jump two times in the air before performing her special attack, which doles out damage to multiple enemies. She has pretty cool gameplay animations, which show the character transforming herself into a magical deity that has large wings. Also, the leak reveals Xianyun uses a Catalyst that allows her to deal Anemo damage from a distance.
In addition to characters and explorable sections, Genshin Impact's version 4.4 will allegedly add several quality-of-life changes, including the ability to equip artifact sets for the unit automatically. According to a recent leak, this auto-equip feature will find players the best overall artifacts to build their teams properly. Though some Genshin Impact fans think the upcoming function is useless for veterans, many claim that it can help Travelers who know very little about character building.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
