Best Xingqiu Build Recommendations in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact have many characters but few are as useful as Xingqiu, the young Juvenile Galant from Liyue. You must know Xingqiu's build so you can take advantage of his abilities.

This character provides insane utility for almost any team, while also dealing massive damage and even a little healing on the side.

Xingqiu has always been a great addition to the Genshin Impact team, and players can use this 4-star Hydro support for just about anything. 

You only need one weapon to use this character to its full potential, so it's easy to build. Here are the builds Xingqiu the best in Genshin Impact.

The Best Xingqiu Build in Genshin Impact

The Sacrificial Sword is the key to unlocking Xingqiu's build potential in Genshin Impact. The effect allows him to reduce his long cooldown and deal an incredible amount of damage and gain a lot of energy.

Sacrificial Sword has a Compposed effect that takes effect after dealing damage to an opponent with an Elemental Skill, giving the skill a 40 percent chance to end its own CD. This effect can only be triggered every 30 seconds at rank one, but, with refinement, it can drop to every 16 seconds.

The reason why it synergizes well with Xingqiu is because his cooldown is usually very long, but his Elemental Skill deals twice the damage, which means that the probability of resetting the cooldown is high.

This allows him to get his bursts up quicker, which helps everyone on the team as his bursts linger even after he's off the field. Players planning to use this character should definitely get their hands on the Sword of Sacrifice.

Artifact

Xingqiu can use multiple sets of artifacts very effectively. It's mostly up to the player to decide if they want him to deal more damage or give the team more buffs.

If players want Xingqiu to deal more damage, they can run 2 sets of Heart of Depth artifacts, which will increase his Bonus Hydro DMG by 15 percent.

Players will also want to run at least two sets of Noblesse Oblige to increase their Elemental Burst damage. Players can even run 4 Nobless Oblige pieces if they want to increase damage for the team, although they will lose the extra Hydro damage.

You'll also want Hydro Bonus damage trophies, a Crit Rate or Crit Damage circle depending on whichever is lower, either Attack percent or Energy Refill Sand, and the best substats on Flowers and Feathers that you can find.

Xingqiu is a very easy character to build, and Genshin Impact players should take advantage of this very strong character if they have the chance.

He can add a ton of additional damage to the team and is one of the easiest supports in the game to play.

Weapon

Sacrificial Sword is a definite choice for Genshin Impact players looking to build Xingqiu in a supporting role. Not only does it increase Elemental Recharge (a very useful stat to support Xingqiu), but also has a good chance to reset his Elemental Skill cooldown.

It starts with a 40 percent chance to reset her cooldown when she damages enemies with her Elemental Skills.

Considering that players can upgrade him to the point of having an 80 percent cooldown reduction, it's easy to see why this is the de facto sword to support this character.

Alternatively, the Favonius Sword is a good option to consider. Every time Xingqiu would criticize with this sword, he would recharge a small amount of energy.

This is better for sub-DPS builds, but can work for a support option if the player doesn't have anything better. Other Energy-based swords may also work if the player doesn't have either of these two options.

The same support build can work as a sub-optionDPS, but some Genshin Impact players (for one reason or another) want to make their Xingqiu more offensively oriented. If that's what Genshin Impact players need, then they can try the following weapon and artifact combos.

The Skyward Blade is a great weapon for characters who like to spam normal attacks, which happens to be very compatible with Xingqiu's Elemental Burst. This is the best weapon if Genshin Impact players want Xingqiu to go all-in as a sub-DPS option.
