How to Cultivate Xingqiu in Genshin Impact
In Genshin Impact, many players are unsure about how to cultivate Xingqiu. Today, we have brought this guide from user I'm Crazy QAQ on the Mihoyo community forum. Let's take a look at the details.
1. Character Positioning
Xingqiu is a 5-star Hydro (Water) character who excels as a support unit. He can increase the jump height of teammates and provide healing.
2. Skills Overview
- Elemental Skill: Guhua Sword: Raincutter
Xingqiu performs up to three special jumps and can release an enhanced plunging attack during descent. The second and third jumps can also be performed in mid-air.
- Elemental Burst: Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen
Xingqiu continuously restores the HP of teammates and increases their jump height. When teammates perform a plunging attack, it triggers a co-operative Wind AoE (Area of Effect) damage.
3. Recommended Weapons
- Top recommendation: 5-star weapon Sacrificial Sword
- Alternative 5-star weapons: Skyward Blade and Favonius Sword
- 4-star top choice: The Flute
- Alternative 4-star weapon: Sacrificial Fragments
4. Recommended Artifacts
Choose Viridescent Venerer when teaming up with the support character Xiao. In other situations, go for the Noblesse Oblige set.
5. Sub-stats Selection
- For support with plunging attack: prioritize Energy Recharge on the Sands and Attack on the Goblet and Circlet. Sub-stats priority: Energy Recharge > Attack > Crit Rate (if using the Favonius Sword for Energy Recharge boost).
- For pure support: prioritize Energy Recharge on the Sands and Attack on the Goblet, and Healing Bonus on the Circlet. Sub-stats priority: Energy Recharge > Attack > Crit Rate (if using the Favonius Sword for Energy Recharge boost).
6. Recommended Team Compositions
- Support with plunging attack: Xingqiu (main), Xiangling, Fischl, and Barbara. Xiangling provides additional Hydro damage reduction, Xingqiu enhances plunging attacks, and Fischl boosts damage. Barbara for healing (can be replaced with Zhongli for survival).
- Pure Support: Xingqiu (main), Kaeya, Mona, and Bennett (or use Cryo character for Melt reaction).
7. Additional Tips
- For the team composition Raiden Shogun, Xingqiu, and Kokomi, replace Lisa with Xingqiu to enhance Kokomi's damage stacking.
- For the team composition Ganyu, Xingqiu, and Hu Tao, using Xingqiu's Burst skill before activating Ganyu's Skill can increase her damage output.
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of how to cultivate Xingqiu in Genshin Impact. Make sure to consider the character's role, skills, recommended weapons, artifacts, sub-stats, and team compositions for the best results.
