Characteristics: what increases with elevation

By raising the level, an additional characteristic of Xingqiu is pumped up - bonus protection. In the table below you can see the exact values ​​of each parameter.

Abilities

Xingqiu is a strong pocket DD due to his elemental explosion, which complements regular attacks Swords of rain. The ultimate is not reset when switching to another squad member, which makes the character indispensable in teams playing from elemental reactions or with the main damage dealer who actively uses hand attacks.

Next, we’ll look in detail at how Xingqiu’s abilities work and in what order they should be upgraded.

Basic skills (active skills)

• Guhua Style (Normal/Charged Attack)

Inflicts up to 5 quick sword slashes with simple attacks.

When charged, it makes 2 quick swings, spending a certain amount of stamina. The falling attack has no elemental charge. Deals physical damage in a small area.

• Guhua: Rain Veil (Elemental Skill)

Performs two quick swings of the sword, dealing Hydro damage to enemies. The skill creates Rain Swords around the character, which have the following properties:

• reduce the damage taken by the character, but each attack received destroys one sword;
• increase resistance to interrupt attacks;
• block a portion of incoming damage equal to 20% of Xingqiu's own Hydro damage bonus.

The maximum amount of damage absorbed can be up to 24%. Initially, no more than 3 Rain Swords are created. Activating this skill places the Wet status on the character.

Using an elemental skill creates 4 units of energy, which is very important for activating an elemental explosion, which requires a large amount of energy.

• Guhua: Rainbow Stance (Elemental Burst)

Xingqiu activates Rainbow Stance. While it is active, there will always be the maximum number of Rainswords around the active character:

• the hero's normal attacks are complemented by the attacks of Rain Swords, which deal Hydro damage;
• the number of Rain Swords remains constant for the duration of the skill.

Blade procs have a small cooldown. Their initial number is 3 pieces, and when the sixth constellation is opened - 5 pieces.

The order of pumping

Xingqiu primarily relies on his ultimate, so it is recommended to invest resources in it first. After the explosion of the elements, it is worth pumping up the E-shka: in addition to its protective properties, it has high damage multipliers and is used to collect elemental particles. A regular pocket DD attack is not that important, so upgrades are optional.

ive skills

Constellations

The table shows all the constellations:

Best constellations of Xingqiu: С2, С4 и С6.

• Second constellation increases the duration of the elemental explosion, significantly reducing the gap between the end of the skill and its cooldown: from 5 to 2 seconds. Rain swords, in turn, reduce the Hydro resistance of monsters, allowing this type of damage to through better. This is useful both for Xingqiu himself and for teams with several Hydro damage dealers.
• fourth constellation: playing Xingqiu is not complete without an elemental skill, so the additional multiplier in the constellation increases the overall rotation damage, especially if the hero covers the Par reaction with E-shka.
• sixth constellation: Rain Swords buff that increases all outgoing damage. It also restores energy with each hit, which with the right build will help charge the ult before it cools down.

Advantages and disadvantages

Having considered the work of all skills, we can draw the following conclusions about the hero’s strengths and weaknesses:

Advantages	Disadvantages
Takes almost no time from the main dd. Ability animations are so short that the character can be immediately removed from the field.	Expensive ult and long cooldown of the elemental skill make it difficult to build damage. It is necessary to collect energy restoration from artifacts and weapons so that the ultimate is charged before the cooldown.
A universal that is valued in many packs. Able to quickly cast Hydro, which is useful in teams that play from elemental reactions. For Hydro-dd it can be a good battery.	The flight speed of the Rain Swords depends entirely on the speed of the active character's normal attacks. Therefore, the more often the main damage dealer deals his own damage, the more useful Xingqiu will be.
The superpower reduces incoming damage, increases resistance to interruptions, and restores health.	Using an elemental skill puts Xingqiu in Wet status, which puts him at risk of being frozen.
Elemental skill buffs and elemental burst have a high duration. A huge plus for damage dealers who cannot leave the field so as not to reset the infusion, for example, Hu Tao's E-shka or Raiden's ultimate.
Does not require high costs for pleasant damage. Although C6 reveals its full potential, the character is useful starting from C0.
Simple gameplay. To play it, you don't need to learn a special rotation.

Leveling

We will analyze in detail what resources are needed to pump Xingqiu to the maximum level and what talents will be needed.

Elevation

To raise Xingqiu to the maximum level 90, the following consumable resources are required:

• Azhdaha.
• Hilichurl mask - drops for killing all types of hilichurls.
• Mulberry - Li Yue's curiosity, which can be found on the Yujing Terrace and near the Wangshu Inn.
• Purifying Heart is a unique resource dropped from Oceanid.
• 420 000 hero experience.

Talents

To upgrade Xingqiu's talents you will also need Hilichurl masks and the following materials:

• Teachings/guidelines/philosophy— Taishanfu в Wednesday, Saturday и Sunday.
• Boreas' Tail is one of three talent leveling resources that drops once a week from Wolf of the North in Monstadt.
• Crown of Insight — is necessary to raise talent to the maximum level.
• 1 654 000 pestilence for every full talent.

Best builds for Xingqiu in Genshin Impact

Xingqiu performs best in the sub-deader position, when he synergizes with the main damage dealer and complements his hand attacks with Rain Swords. A character’s skills scale depending on the strength of the attack, so in artifacts you should give preference to this specific characteristic. However, due to the high cost of ults, we must not forget about restoring energy in substats.

Recommended characteristic values

The classic damage build of Xingqiu requires maintaining balance. critical damage и crit chance. hitsand high attack. In the case of Xingqiu, an equally priority characteristic will be energy recovery. Considering that the hero can independently close reactions, you don’t have to disdain mastery of the elements in subs. But this does not apply to HP%: although the healing ive of an elemental skill depends on the health value, it is not worth collecting this stat to the maximum.

Recommended specifications are shown in the table below:

Optimal characteristics for a comfortable game:

• ATK: at least 1500 units.
• Sacrificial Sword a lower value is acceptable. If C6 is open and this weapon is in your hands on the 5th awakening, then you can stop at 170%.
• Crete. chance and crit. damage: It is important to maintain a 1:2 ratio, for example, with crit. damage 120%, optimally have about 60% chance.
• Elemental Mastery: up to 140 units. without prejudice to other stats, if Xingqiu plays in teams from the reaction of Par. It is strictly not recommended to set the clock on MS, since the hero only covers reactions with an E-shka, albeit an extremely strong one.

Best weapon

Xingqiu's weapon should either increase DPS or solve the problem of the high cost of the ultimate, so in additional characteristics you need to look for energy recovery, crit. damage or attack power.

Best Artifacts

Artifacts for Xingqiu are selected depending on the weapon, but sets should always be focused on damage and energy recovery. The character will benefit from kits that buff or charge the ultimate, as well as those that have the Hydro damage bonus.

Detachments

A versatile sub-deader needs a guide to complement his hand with Swords of Rain. Xingqiu synergizes with many characters: the hero Hydro has an element that reacts with all other elements. It is no less useful for the Hydro damage dealer, especially with the second constellation, thanks to which it reduces enemies’ resistance to this element. Considering all the factors, choosing a team for Xingqiu will not be difficult.

Best characters

Let's look at the characters who can realize the potential inherent in Xingqiu.

Top Teams

The squads for Xingqiu are diverse due to the fact that he is ideal for any team where the main damage dealer plays from regular attacks. The hero is not demanding of rotation and elements, which is why he is considered a universal pocket damage dealer and is popular both at the initial ranks and on the 12th floor Abyss.

With the characters discussed above, you can create strong teams:

How to play Xingqiu

Xingqiu is a sub-DD who needs a proper guide. The character's mechanics are designed to help the main damage dealer on the field by inflicting additional damage from the pocket through his ultimate. Xingqiu is good in teams that play from elemental reactions, paired with a Hydro main DD and will ideally fill a slot in a squad where the damage dealer needs to strengthen his attacks or get Hydro status on enemies.

The problem with the character is the high cost of the ult, so the build should always focus on energy recovery, and the rotation should be done in a strictly defined way. An explosion of elements must be charged while on the field in order to begin the next rotation on cooldown.

Rotation

Regardless of the position, Xingqiu rotation is performed as follows:

1. Use the abilities of other heroes, provided they have a longer cooldown or last longer, for example, Jasper Shield Zhongli.
2. Activate elemental explosion.
3. Use elemental skill. When playing with Sacrificial Sword, use the skill twice, so that the ive ability rolls back along with the skill.
4. Use the abilities of other sub-dampers and buffers, for example, dispel Hydro status Kazuhoi.
5. Switch to the main damage dealer and attack while the ultimate is active. If necessary, you can switch between the characters in the pack.
6. Before repeating the rotation, make sure your Elemental Burst is charged and not on cooldown. It is recommended to use the elemental ability strictly after the ultimate so that the particles do not disappear.

Сonclusion

Xingqiu is a versatile pocket damage dealer with variable builds who will perform well in any team. The hero's accessibility, ease of assembly and gameplay are a solid basis for his popularity and high positions in tier lists. The character is useful for both beginners and advanced players ranks.

The main disadvantage of Xingqiu is the expensive ult and high cooldown of the skill, which makes it difficult to collect it into a full-fledged damage dealer. The right build with a focus on energy recovery, a suitable sword and the sixth constellation solve this problem, providing easy gameplay and high damage.
