In Genshin Impact, Xingqiu is a 4-star Hydro Sword off-field DPS. These are the top teams, weapons, and artifacts to unleash Guhua's might!
Playstyles
Xingqiu is an off-field DPS who uses his Burst to deliver damage. When he uses his Burst summon, a ring of rain swords appears around him, protecting him from interruptions and reducing damage. Even after switching to a new character, the rain swords remain. Xingqiu's Burst active causes your active character to trigger a synchronized sword rain assault that does single-target Hydro damage when it launches a Normal assault. Sword rain strikes by Xingqiu may inflict substantial damage and almost certainly produce a Hydro aura, especially at Constellation 6.Xingqiu's skill is two large Hydro damaging strikes. With each cast, it creates five Hydro particles and has a lengthy 21-second cooldown. Xingqiu is an excellent Sacrificial Sword user since he can create 10 Hydro particles in a short amount of time thanks to the guaranteed five particles.Simply utilize Xingqiu's skill and burst before switching to another character while utilizing him in a team. To get a couple more sword rain strikes in, try weaving in Normal strikes while switching between different characters. If you have a Sacrificial Sword equipped, perform two consecutive Skills before Bursting. It is not advised to use skill > burst > skill because of the longer rotation time. Weapons Skyward Blade / Summit Shaper / Light of Foliar Incision / Mistsplitter Reforged / Primordial Jade CutterIn other words,The greatest personal DPS may be obtained with these 5-star stat sticks. Though Xingqiu has several alternatives, before deciding to wear the weapon banner, take into account the 4-stars below.Wolf-FangThe new battle pass Sword offers a +1 to skill/burst DMG and a secondary stat called CRIT Rate. Though Xingqiu can't stack its passive until he remains on the field, it's still a possibility to think about. Before switching to another character, you may quickly execute a Normal Attack to acquire one rapid stack on his Burst.Sacrificial Sword / Favonius Sword (R3+)These are the more easily available 4-star alternatives that are frequently suggested. Notwithstanding Favonius's low base ATK, Xingqiu may benefit from both of these swords. Sacrificial Sword can make Xingqiu a better battery for Hydro units, but Favonius makes him a superior battery overall. Keep in mind that using two successive Skills will cause your rotation time to increase by a few seconds. For Sacrificial Sword to proc every cycle, it must be at least Refinement 3.Ferryman's Fleuve Cendre and Amenoma KageuchiIf none of the above are available to you, here are your free-to-play choices. Xingqiu requires a significant amount of energy, which these swords will provide.Lion's Cry / Deep End FinaleIn other words,These swords are excellent, but they depend on the circumstances. Only teams (like Raiden or Fischl teams) where you can consistently sustain an Electro aura should use Lion's Roar. Xingqiu must be paired with a strong healer for Finale of the Deep.Artefacts
Emblem of Severed Fate (4EoSF) , four piecesBy far the greatest artifact collection in Xingqiu. It gives him the much-needed Energy Recharge and transforms some of it into Burst DMG.two-piece combinationsYou may simply combine useful 2pc set bonuses, especially at lower Energy Recharge limits.

Teams
Xingqiu is very adaptable. He is among the top-rated 4-star accommodations in Genshin. because to his strong DPS and versatility in teams. Xingqiu may be used in a variety of archetypes; however, he is most effective when you can employ Normal Attacks and need an off-field Hydro DPS.Vaporize
Xingqiu is the ideal Vaporize facilitator for Pyro DPS troops because of his capacity to keep adversaries in the Wet condition (a real in-game phrase, I promise). Among them are vintage teams like:- Xingqiu – Hu Tao – Yelan – shielder
- Xingqiu – Yoimiya – Yun Jin – Bennett
- Xingqiu – Xiangling – Bennett – flex
Overvape/Electro-Charged
Hydro and Electro combine to produce Electro-Charged. You get a combo of Electro-Charged and Overload that fills your screen with numbers when you add some Pyro on top. You may pretty much mix and match characters to your liking, however to keep foes together, I strongly advise taking an Anemo unit.- Xingqiu – Sucrose – Fischl – Beidou
- Xingqiu – Yoimiya – Fischl – Bennett/Zhongli/Venti
Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Protea
Xingqiu is excellent for teams that rely on Bloom because to his Hydro application. Hydro and Dendro together will cause Bloom. If you're playing Nilou, you may stop here; if not, you need add Electro or Pyro for Hyperbloom or Burgeon.- Xingqiu – Nilou – Nahida/Dendro Traveler/Collei – healer
- Xingqiu – Yelan – Dendro – Kuki/Raiden
- Xingqiu – Fischl – Dendro – Sucrose
- Xingqiu – Yelan – Dendro – Thoma
Put it in freeze
With Xingqiu, freeze teams might be challenging as his sword rain strikes are activated by Normal strikes. As a result, he is overtly antagonistic to Ganyu, one of the main Freeze powerhouses. However, he still gets along well with Ayaka, who can deliver damage and set off sword rain strikes with her Cryo-infused Normal strikes.- Xingqiu – Ayaka/Kaeya/Rosaria – Kazuha – Cryo
- Xingqiu – Kaeya/Rosaria – Kazuha/Shenhe – Chongyun
