ULTIMATE Xingqiu guide! Best Builds, Weapons, Teams, Constellations and More!

[@OverpoweredCake]

I would love to see a Bennett or Xiangling guide from you! I’ve watched a lot of guides about the game but none of them left me feeling like I actually understood the character more like this one did! Thanks for taking the time to do this and please do more!

[@polarivyfairy]

Can you do a nahida one? I really need to know more about her cons cus no one talks about them :)

[@Elariesel]

Cons as in constellations? C2 Nahida turns any hyperbloom team into complete faceroll easymode. C1 is bigger, longer and better ult buff - pretty nice, but depending on your team you might not even notice any change and powerspike is in no way as visibly busted as C2

You should turn this into a series going through all the great 4 stars in the game starting from 1.0. Like, doing one for Bennett, XL, Sucrose... all of those hidden gems that new players may assume are not that great but are really top tier.

I use Tighnari as my dps, I bought Xingqiu from star glitter shop for hyperbloom hydro applicator but then I realised that he doesn't Synergies with tighnari. Reason being, tighnari is a Charge attack user and Xingqiu Burst swords do not come in those charge attacks😢😢

Such a fantastic and indepth overview and character analysis that is exceptionally helpful and easy to understand - and you did phenomenal including so many specifics and images/details on screen and for reference, one of the best guides out there already! Truly hope this becomes a regular series and that you profess through all the characters - what a feat, I know, but what quality content and usefulness and makes me excited to watch your coverage! Great great work Shark! Also I’m sure they’re not considered a high priority but I’d love to see a range between reviews for the typical META characters but also the more obscure and how to get the best out of them (I.e., I adore Gaming and it’d amazing to see his best use and like others such as Mona, Clorinde, Navia, and somehow to save Kaveh haha). Really looking forward to the upcoming reviews, well done and worth your time at least to me, thanks so much and keep it up!

[@crazyanimeguycag8953]

Fun fakt he can be replaced in arlecchino team In team of arlecchino c6kaeya kazucha bennet. In this team you have all standard arlecchino supports but you swap out hydro option like furina yelan xingqiu (which are concidered her best teams) for Kaeya. Why Kaeya and why only at c6? That’s because arlecchino has standard icd and vapes/melts every 3th hit and c6kaeya is the only character in the game who can enable concistant cryo application, so the vape hits simply became melts instead.Melt has higher multiplayers of 2.0 instead of vape 1.5. And if you want to argue kaeya can’t possibly be good of field dps think about what makes xingling great, it’s her no icd so she can do her job with reactions and she snapshots. Guess what? In this team Kaeya is also adding support by enabling reactions and also snapshots. bennet and kazucha is there to buff arlecchino but kaeya as well. And his personal dmg is better then most would imagine on emblem set and with c6 which also buffs his dmg from c0 up to 88 % ,also kaeya burst is aoe not like xingqiu or yelan and his c2 can extend his uptime (depending on number of enemies it can be base duration or up to infinite uptime), while as well following your active character. And that’s not all! Arlecchino is very front loaded with her bond of life mechanic meaning the more dmg you deal at the start of rotation the better. Melt takes advantage of that alowing her to do more dmg quickly and alowes her to end rotation early giving her more bond of life for second rotation. Now obviously there are some disadvantages like in every team for example if you use kazucha burst you want to infuse cryo which is not hard but can be inconsistent due to for example getting hit with elemental dmg on kazucha or difficulty to swirl pyro on second wave after dealing with first without messing up cryo application, but other then that I believe what’s the most important factor of no one playing this team is just simply the % of people having c6kaeya or trying to get it in starglitter shop, maybe also the fact that hes a starter character. So in short he can support one of if not the best team in the game but nobody talks about it/knows about it. If anybody is interested I have perfect rotation for that team that I can share.

He's genuinely a monster! many people underestimate his defensive utility but the resistance to interruption and damage reduction that he gives on his skill is literally what allowed my alhaitham team to get through the consecrated beasts in this 5.1 abyss. I tried a run with alhaitham, kuki, nahida and yelan (for more dmg) and was 10 seconds short on 3-starring chamber 1. The only change I made in my two teams (I used neuvi, furina, zhongli and xilonen on the second half in both tries) was swapping yelan for xingqiu. This single change enabled me to keep doing damage (even if lower) instead of being tossed around by the beasts and it bought me like 30 seconds and i finished chamber one with a lot of time to spare and recover my energy for chamber 2.

[@xpneko02]

I remember i picked him from lantern rite due to your recomendation no regrets thank you !! I cant wait to c6 him!

[@Nmnx0r]

Personally I prefer Yelan over Xingqiu because of her damage potential and easy-to-manage energy requirements. Also, he skill has a lot of utility in the overworld. Yet, I got stuck with Xingqiu C1, so I hope the upcoming Nahida's banner give me some copies of him and now I'll have 2 extremely efficient hydro sub-DPS characters and I'll give this book nerd more credit he deserves :)

[@tioh5915]

I'm f2p. When i started to play Genshin i rerolled a few accounts (just wanted to get a 5 star). Then i got one account with diluc and rolled a c4 xingqiu. It was obvious for me to play this account even though i had no clue, he is that good. Now he is c5 and i'm just waiting to get the last one soon. Probably will be in my main team till i stop playing (again :D).

[@kitsune_gt]

Why do people always highlight xinqius healing like its significant, i dont even think he has access to it in his burst since they cant break

[@jules_fuller]

I have a thought but I'm not good enough at artifact farming to put it to the test. I wanted to know how good the following build would be. having jean on a complete set of maidens beloved with healing bonus goblet and as much healing bonus, attack, crit rate, crit damage, HP and defense as possible while using the fravonius sword the goal of this build is to make her attack strong but also make her tanky and her healing off the scale

[@phoenixlau]

In general, 4pc Maiden is overkill on most healers. YMMV, but almost certainly you're going to be spending most of her uptime overhealing past 100%, and therefore wasting it. There are some niche situations where this is desirable (e.g. Furina buff scales off more healing), but usually you want healers to contribute by wearing offensive buffing sets. In Jean's case, 4pc Viridescent is the natural fit. You already have Fav Sword which is excellent to have enough ER to burst. If you feel you need more ER to ensure, always welcome. Beyond that, ATK stats are good, crit stats especially crit rate hat to help proc Favonius are good. HP/DEF are not needed.

[@jules_fuller]

maybe a bit more explaining might help I'm on PS4 and half the time I'm lucky enough to get a shot in before majority of my characters getting knocked across the room

[@Reploid_Zero]

It is a sin to skip building him. My sister always skipped because she got Ayato. I build him for her anyway

[@shoyuramenoff]

You can use them together too. Hyperbloom team. A Dendro character (preferably Nahida), Xingqiu, an electro support (Shinobu, Fischl, Beidou, or Raiden), with Ayato is a great team.

XQ's hydro application is the best hands down. He also does some decent off field damage. Just give him enough er.

[@sairavicharanneerumalla6883]

Can you do on hutao please! An updated guide

[@pekopan00]

As a new player to the world of Genshin, Xingqiu is one of the original power 5: 4 star characters. Every other 4 star character can't compare to these 5. The problem as a new player is that we can't pull Xingqiu until a special banner, not even the standard banner or at the shop. Mona is the only available f2p character that is hydro besides Barbara the healer. I have no choice but to build Mona and then in the future pull for Xingqiu a 4 star which is very ironic for wishing

[@ChaseGynko]

Not exactly true. You can buy a copy of Xingqiue whenever he is featured in the Paimon's Bargains shop, which happens every March and September. Candice is another hydro 4 star that is free right now in the current event.

I have c0 raiden, should i go with overload team or hyperbloom team ? Overload team( i have raiden, xiangling, c2 chev, bennet) - all lv 70. For hyperbloom don't have many hydro and dendro character only having barbara, and new character given to us in new dendro archon quest and tighnari. Which one is better?

[@walking-the-flower-path]

The question should be "which one do you like more". There's no need to pull a character you don't like simply because they're meta. The only thing a meta character can guarantee is a faster abyss clear, which will give you a few primos. You'd have to use that character to 36 star the abyss for a year in order to regain the primos you've spent on getting them. Nahida is a great character IF you like her and her play style. If you pull on her banner, you might get Xinqiu, so you'll have a second hydro character. That being said, Chevreuse is good even at C0, so if you like Raiden overload, focus on that. There is no wrong answer. Play who and what you like.
