Xing Qiu gameplay

Xingqiu has a fairly easy style of play. His Elemental Skill named Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen is capable of dealing quite a bit of damage. Not only that, the Elemental Skill also provides a set of Hydro swords surrounding the character which can reduce the damage received and increase resistance to interrupt attacks.

Xingqiu also has a passive that can buff Elemental Skills, namely giving heal after the Elemental Skill duration is over.

His Elemental Burst named Guhua Sword: Raincutter is a skill that makes Xingqiu very good, equivalent to a 5 star character. Activating Elemental Burst will give the character a set of Hydro swords that will attack the enemy if the character does a Normal Attack.

Moreover, Xingqiu's constellation 6 or C6 provided an extraordinary buff against Raincutter. Before getting C6, Xingqiu only had 3 swords at a time. However, after C6, the third attack will give 5 Hydro swords so the damage output hurts more.

Artifact Selection for Xingqiu Build

Emblem of Severed Fate is a very powerful artifact for Sub DPS or Support who uses Elemental Burst and Energy Recharge. Therefore, Xingqiu is very suitable to use this set of artifacts.

With the full set of Emblem of Severed Fate, Xingqiu will issue an Elemental Burst which is even more painful due to the effects of the artifact. Not only that, Xingqiu will also get additional Energy Recharge so that he can use Elemental Burst more often.

If the Vicigers haven't found a suitable set of Emblem artifacts, then the combination between Heart of Depth and Noblesse Oblige is no less painful.

With 2 sets of Heart of Depth, Xingqiu will receive a Hydro Damage Bonus of 15% and an increase in Elemental Burst damage of 20% from 2 sets of Noblesse Oblige.

The selection of artifacts for Xingqiu is quite limited, therefore VCGamers advises Vicigers to always farm Emblem artifact domains because these artifacts are very suitable for many support characters Genshin Impact.

Best Weapon

Xingqiu has a quite unique weapon build, seeing that his best weapon is a named 4-star weapon Sacrificial Sword. This happens because the passive of Sac Sword can reset the cooldown of Elemental Skills.

In addition to the ability to reset Elemental Skill cooldowns, this weapon also provides Energy Recharge which is able to synergize with Emblem artifact sets.

Unfortunately, the only way to get these weapons is by gacha. Another weapon you get from gacha is the Skyward Blade, a five-star weapon that also has an Energy Recharge stat.

If Vicigers wants to play Xingqiu as a DPS, then Vicigers can use Primordial Jade Cutter or Mistsplitter. The two weapons each provide Crit Rate or Crit Damage, so they can give a boost to overall damage.

Other weapon choices can be the Favonius Sword and Festering Desire. Vicigers can get Favonius Sword from gacha and Festering Desire from limited events. These two weapons provide an Energy Recharge stat so they can match Xingqiu.

Team Composition with Build Xingqiu

There are many team compositions that can benefit from using Xingqiu. However, this time VCGamers will discuss two very strong team compositions thanks to Xingqiu, namely Raiden National and Freeze Comp Ayaka.

Raiden National is the strongest team composition according to VCGamers and is still in META. Raiden as the main DPS as well battery against the entire character of the team members is too strong. Moreover, Bennett as a healer and support can provide extraordinary bonus damage for a team.

In addition, Xiangling with her Elemental Burst is very strong and thanks to Bennett and Raiden, Xiangling's Elemental Burst will continue to be available. The last addition to make the composition of the team the strongest is Xingqiu.

With his Raincutter, Xingqiu can apply Hydro so that Xiangling's Elemental Burst, which was already strong before, is now even stronger due to the Vaporize reaction.

Vicigers can also use Freeze Composition or Freeze Comp with Xingqiu. Ayaka as the main DPS will give Elemental Burst which is very painful in the form of elemental Cryo damage.

Usually, the enemy would be blown away by Ayaka's Elemental Burst. However, with Xingqiu, Venti, and Diona as Healers, a Freeze reaction will occur so that the enemy will freeze and take full damage from Ayaka's Elemental Burst.
