Genshin Impact Cloud Retainer Kit Leaks
Even though some players already had a glimpse at Cloud Retainer’s abilities, recent leaks are giving more information about her kit.
Elemental Skill
Cloud Retainer’s special move of Elemental Skill lets her do short jumps and move in the air by tapping the button three times. This makes her gameplay more interesting for both exploring and fighting.
Elemental Burst
This powerful move not only heals but also controls crowds during battles. It uses her Attack (ATK) stat to determine its strength, making her a great support character in different teams.
Potential Xiao Support
There are rumors that Cloud Retainer could be a helpful support for Xiao. This might boost the damage of Xiao’s plunging attacks and Anemo abilities. It’s exciting for players who like using Xiao with polearms in their teams.
Finally, people are arguing a lot about whether Cloud Retainer can fly or not. At first, there were some clues suggesting she could fly, but later discussions and translations made things unclear.
People were excited about the idea of a Quality of Life (QoL) feature for easier exploration, but it’s still not clear if that’s really going to happen.
It appears from the leaks by u/vivliz that Cloud Retainer will probably be a Catalyst user. According to her description, she is a support unit with useful off-field skills. Furthermore, it is suggested that this possible future playable unit obtains a stack of sorts each time the HP of her party members changes. It’s assumed that she uses those stacks to weaken an opponent’s defense each time she strikes them.
Also, a new artifact set especially designed for her is rumored to be released by Genshin Impact, which would presumably double her DMG output and enable her to be employed as a sub-DPS unit.
Genshin Impact Cloud Retainer Release date
Rumors are going around that Cloud Retainer might become a playable character in Genshin Impact with the release of Version 4.4. If everything goes as usual and the developers at HoYoverse follow their standard six-week update schedule, Version 4.4 could be out on January 31, 2024.
However, keep in mind that these are mere leaks for now, and HoYoverse has yet not made any revelation on this current NPC. It is best to wait for more solid leaks or the official confirmation.
