The unknown source claims that Cloud Retainer will have high synergy with Xiao and his teams. However, she can also be considered as a general support unit flexible enough to fit into various team compositions. Here is a quick overview of her kit from the latest leak:

• Elemental Skill: Can Fly. Very useful for overworld exploration.
• Elemental Burst: Provides Healing.

Speaking of her healing abilities, the source has claimed a resemblance between Kuki Shinobu and Cloud Retainer's healing. This Liyue adeptus is also expected to have an off-field ability with decent damage, and low heals per tick. It will have a large AoE range where she will trigger swirl reactions on enemies inside the range. On the flip side, her burst does not generate particles and has high energy requirements.
