According to leaks, the arrival of Cloud Retainer to Genshin Impact is imminent and getting closer. Players first met this character in his Adeptus form in the first versions of the game almost 3 years ago. But fans were even more excited with the reveal of Cloud Retainer’s human form. Which debuted in the Story Teaser: Echoes of the Heart for the Lantern Rite of version 3.4. Along with Cloud Retainer’s supposed arrival in Genshin Impact, leaks have revealed her possible kit and role.
Genshin Impact Cloud Retainer Might Turn Her Into a Healer Anemo Character
Cloud Retainer’s Adeptus form is a crane, so it makes more sense for her to be an Anemo element character. But, according to the leaked kit for her, they position Cloud Retainer in a support role for your Genshin Impact teams. It is also mentioned that she could have some healing qualities. So, she could have a good synergy with Xiao since they are both Anemo and Xiao needs constant healing. Also, Cloud Retainer could be that her healing could be a utility off-field, although her healing amounts will be low. As for her damage, she has a good area range to attack and heal simultaneously. But it does not seem that Shenhe’s master can generate particles with her skills alone.
Another feature that this powerful Adeptus could have is that she could fly like its animal form. This characteristic makes Cloud Retainer’s kit useful for exploring the map of Genshin Impact. About other leaks, fans are speculating and looking forward to Cloud Retainer arriving as a playable character around version 4.3. Or, in some versions, after the banner of the Hydro Archon, Furina. But this is just speculation from the fan community. As always, it is best to wait until HoYoverse reveals official information.
