Leaks are swirling around Cloud Retainer’s potential arrival in Genshin Impact, and it seems she might be tailor-made to buff our favorite moody boy, Xiao. Let’s dive into what we know so far about this highly anticipated character’s kit.
Genshin Impact: Cloud Retainer Leaks Hint at Xiao’s Perfect Partner
Leaked back in July by HoyoverseJapan, Cloud Retainer is rumored to grace us with her presence as a 5-star character in Genshin Impact’s 4.4 update, coinciding with the Liyue Lantern Rite festivities. While HoYoverse remains tight-lipped, our trusty leakers have been busy deciphering her kit.
Foul, a renowned leaker, claims Cloud Retainer might specialize in buffing Plunge attack damage, potentially even dealing it herself. This would solidify her position as the second character in Genshin Impact capable of consistent Plunge attacks, a niche currently dominated by Xiao.
Little_Teyvat on X adds fuel to the fire, suggesting Cloud Retainer could be Xiao’s ultimate teammate. This isn’t surprising, considering Xiao’s exclusive Plunge attack mastery and the immense value a dedicated Plunge damage buffer would bring.
If, as speculated, Cloud Retainer is an Anemo character, she could further elevate Xiao’s power by functioning as an energy battery, ensuring his ultimate ability remains fueled and ready to wreak havoc.
Leaks hint towards a joint banner featuring both Xiao and Cloud Retainer during v4.4. This strategic move by HoYoverse would capitalize on the perfect synergy between these two Liyue-based powerhouses, enticing players to pull for both and unleash their combined might.
While HoYoverse holds the official key to Cloud Retainer’s kit, these leaks paint a picture of an exciting new character who could shake up the meta, especially for Xiao mains. Prepare your plunging potions, Travelers, because a storm of Adeptus might be brewing soon.
