	White Clouds at Dawn	Elemental Skill
Xianyun enters the Cloud Transmogrification state, in which she will not take Fall DMG, and uses Skyladder once. In this state, her Plunging Attack will be converted into Driftcloud Wave instead, which deals AoE Anemo DMG and ends the Cloud Transmogrification state. This DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG. Each use of Skyladder while in this state increases the DMG and AoE of the next Driftcloud Wave used. Skyladder Can be used while in mid-air. Xianyun leaps forward, dealing Anemo DMG to targets along her path. During each Cloud Transmogrification state Xianyun enters, Skyladder may be used up to 3 times and only 1 instance of Skyladder DMG can be dealt to any one opponent. If Skyladder is not used again in a short period, the Cloud Transmogrification state will be canceled. If Xianyun does not use Driftcloud Wave while in this state, the next CD of White Clouds at Dawn will be decreased by 3s. When Driftcloud Wave hits at least one enemy, it generates 5 Elemental Particles. Skyladders cover larger horizontal distances when used while on the ground instead of mid-air. The Cloud Transmogrification state has a 3 seconds duration after performing White Clouds at Dawn. This duration will be reset when Xianyun performs Skyladder. Opening the Wind Glider or interacting with certain exploration objects (e.g. Thunder Spheres, Four-Leaf Sigils) will not end the Cloud Transmogrification state. The Cloud Transmogrification state will be cancelled and renewed if Xianyun performs another White Clouds at Dawn. This will trigger the decreasing CD effect since Driftcloud Wave is not used in the previous Cloud Transmogrification state. Driftcloud Wave can be used even if Xianyun has already landed. While the exact targeting logic is unknown, Driftcloud Wave will attempt to target grouped up enemies rather than scattered ones. Lv. 2 and Lv. 3 Driftcloud Wave will knock enemies towards the center of the AoE. Lv. 1 Driftcloud Wave will still scatter enemies. When Driftcloud Wave is used, Xianyun will lock onto an target's current location and fly towards it in a straight line. If there are no targets in range, she will plunge down at a diagonal angle. The dive lasts 2 seconds. If Xianyun is still airborne after 2 seconds, she will exit the dive and fall. Second and Third Skyladder Icon Driftcloud Wave Icon C6 Icon Passive Effects Passive Talent 1, Galefeather Pursuit: "Each opponent hit by Driftcloud Waves from White Clouds at Dawn will grant all nearby party members 1 stack of Storm Pinion for 20s. Max 4 stacks. These will cause the characters' Plunging Attack CRIT Rate to increase by 4%/6%/8%/10% respectively. Each Storm Pinion created by hitting an opponent has an independent duration."

The maximum DMG increase that can be achieved this way is 18,000. Each Plunging Attack shockwave DMG instance can only apply this increased DMG effect to a single opponent.
