Phase 1: The Crane Soars Skyward
This banner introduces Xianyun, the human form of the Adeptus Cloud Retainer, as a brand new 5-star Anemo catalyst user. Prepare to take to the skies with her graceful plunge attacks and unique gameplay mechanics.
Accompanying Xianyun are three 4-star characters:

Joining Nahida are the same 4-star companions from Phase 1: Gaming, Faruzan, and Noelle.
Weapon Banners: Epitome Invocation
Two exciting weapon banners accompany the character lineup in Version 4.4.
