Hold onto your Primogems, Travelers! The tea is piping hot for Genshin Impact's 4.4 update as Xianyun (aka Cloud Retainer) finally steps out of her Adeptus bird form to become playable. This Anemo mommy – yes, she literally adopted Ganyu and Shenhe – is about to bring some serious drip to Liyue Harbor. Leaks suggest she'll be a 5-star character, though HoYoverse is still playing coy about her weapon type. Could we get our first Anemo catalyst mommy? The hype train has left the station! 🚂

Mommy Meta? Xianyun's Game-Changing Potential

As Genshin's ultimate helicopter parent, Xianyun's kit likely reflects her lore as a master inventor. Speculation points to:

  • 🍃 Swirl-focused abilities with crowd control

  • 🛠️ Construct creation (think Albedo's flower but fancier)

  • 🌀 Team energy regeneration to enable spammy comps

Her human form's design screams "elegant support", but don't sleep on potential DPS capabilities. With Xiao mains starving for Anemo support, Xianyun could become the new must-pull for plunge attack enthusiasts!

Gaming: Not Just a Meme Name

Meet Gaming (pronounced "Ga-ming"...probably), the Pyro caravan guard who's lit in more ways than one:

  • 🔥 4-star rarity (according to reliable leaks)

  • ⚔️ Possible claymore user based on concept art

  • 🎪 Performance-based mechanics tied to his lion dance lore

This fiery boi could become the next Xiangling alternative, especially if his kit enables vape/melt reactions with existing Hydro/Cryo units. His lion mask accessory? Chef's kiss for cosplayers! 🦁
