The Sound Call of the Crane in Genshin Impact is a legendary catalyst that is Xian Yun's signature weapon. In this guide, we will analyze all its characteristics, game features and find out which other characters can give it to.
How to get the Loud Cry of the Crane
This weapon can only be obtained through prayers ” Intertwined destinies” in the banner “Deity Incarnate”. It will appear for the first time in patch 4.4.
Main parameters of the Sound Call of the Crane

- Attack power: 3.6-16.54%
Passive “Secret of the Cloud Canons”: when the weapon's bearer hits an enemy with a falling attack, all heroes' plange attacks receive +28–80% damage for 20 seconds. Such blows hit once every 0.7 seconds. restore 2.5 energy units of the catalyst carrier, even if it is inactive.
How to level up the Loud Cry of the Crane
The table shows the resources that will be useful to you for each level of weapon elevation.
All you need:
Pills of the Cloudy Sea drop out in the Liangshan Labyrinth dungeon on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Various fins drop from defeated Xuanwen beasts. They are found in the Chenyu Valley.
Scrolls can be obtained by defeating shamachurls. They live on all the continents of Teyvat, but are most often found in the southwestern part of the Stormterror Lair. For convenience, you can track mobs using the Traveler's Guide.
How to awaken Sound Call of the Crane
To awaken the catalyst, you need to get copies of it. They, like the original, can be knocked out from the event weapon banner. Awakening a weapon improves its passive effect.
Who to give the Loud Cry of the Crane
The specificity of the weapon's passive makes it suitable exclusively for Xian Yun. We have selected a couple more fighters who could benefit from the catalyst, but to implement the passive effect you will have to change their usual gameplay.
| Character | Benefits |
|---|---|
Xian Yun | The gameplay of the Guardian of the Clouds is completely tied to plange attacks and their strengthening, so the catalyst passive is ideal for her. In addition, additional SA will increase Xian Yun's outgoing healing, and energy restoration solves the problem with the expensive ult. |
Sucrose | One of the possible squad members with Xiao, for whom the catalyst will also help solve several problems: energy restoration (her ultimate is even more expensive than Xian Yun’s) and buffing attacks when falling. True, with this weapon you will have to gain a lot of elemental mastery from artifacts, and the alchemist does not really need attack power. |
Charlotte | The reporter's healing increases based on the strength of the attack. She can also play the role of a healer in a squad with Ka Ming, who plays against attacks while falling. In a squad with the majority of other damage dealers, the catalyst will no longer be so useful, enhancing only Charlotte’s healing. |
To summarize, we can say that, in addition to Xian Yun, the catalyst is suitable for supports in teams with Xiao and Ka Ming. Finally, you can give it as a plug for SA to your damage dealers, but less valuable weapons are more suitable for this role.
How to play with the Loud Cry of the Crane
The squad composition and rotation will differ depending on the weapon carrier. With Xian Yun, it is quite simple:
- Activate the skills of supports.
- Use Xian Yun’s E-shka, and with it you perform a plange attack (this mechanic is described in more detail in the character guide ), after which you activate your ult.
- Switch to the damage dealer and attack with falling attacks for 20 seconds.
If the catalyst is carried by another hero, the second stage of the above rotation becomes more difficult. In addition, the damage dealer in such a squad can be either Ka Ming and Xiao, or two-handers who can use dragonstrike. You will have to use either Geo structures that you can jump from (Albedo Flower, Zhong Li's Stella), or Venti or Kazuha's skill, or use the terrain features and jump from trees and hills. After performing a fall attack with a weapon carrier, you will need to switch to the damage dealer and use plange attacks for 20 seconds.
