Character Overview
Basic information about Xingqiu

Strengths

  • Excellent off-field Hydro application with his Elemental Burst
  • Provides damage reduction and interruption resistance
  • Generates energy particles efficiently
  • Works well in many team compositions (Vaporize, Freeze, Electrocharged)
  • Scales extremely well with investment

Weaknesses

  • High energy cost on Elemental Burst (80 energy)
  • Heavily reliant on Sacrificial Sword for optimal performance
  • Long cooldowns without Sacrificial Sword
  • Limited AoE damage potential

Talent Priority

  1. Elemental Burst: Guhua Sword: Raincutter
  2. Elemental Skill: Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen
  3. Normal Attack: Guhua Style

Pro Tip

Xingqiu's Elemental Burst does not snapshot, meaning it will always use his stats at the moment each sword hits. This allows him to benefit from buffs even after casting his burst.
