Xingqiu Talents
Xingqiu can consistently apply Hydro to enemies at a very high rate while being off the field. He also has pure support characteristics that include damage reduction, resistance to interruption, and some healing. Because Xingqiu can do all of this while being off the field almost the entire time he’s an extremely useful character in so many team compositions.
 | Guhua Style |
|---|---|
| Normal Attack | |
| Normal Attack Performs up to 5 rapid strikes. Charge Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes. Plunge Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. | |
| Attributes | Level 1 | Level 10 |
|---|---|---|

| 2-Hit DMG | 47.64% | 94.18% |
| 3-Hit DMG | 28.55% + 28.55% | 56.44% + 56.44% |
| 4-Hit DMG | 55.99% | 110.67% |
| 5-Hit DMG | 35.86% + 35.86% | 70.89% + 70.89% |

Xingqiu’s normal attack is a series of five rapid strikes with the 3rd and 5th attacks in the string being a combination of two attacks. His charge attack performs two strikes and will cause enemies to be pushed away.
 | Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen |
|---|---|
| Elemental Skill | |
| Xingqiu performs twin strikes with his sword, dealing Hydro DMG. At the same time, this ability creates the maximum number of Rain Swords, which will orbit your active character. The Rain Swords have the following properties:
| |
| Attributes | Level 1 | Level 15 |
|---|---|---|
| Skill DMG | 168% + 191.2% | 399% + 454.1% |
| Damage Reduction Ratio | 20% | 29% |
| Duration | 15 Seconds | 15 Seconds |
| Cooldown | 20 Seconds | 20 Seconds |
Xingqiu’s elemental skill is where the majority of his pure support potential lies. The elemental skill deals with two instances of hydro damage in a small AoE to enemies directly in front of him. However, he will apply Hydro to himself, but this effect only lasts for about 0.3 seconds, so exercise caution when casting this skill. The damage scaling on his elemental skill is actually quite high at 359% at talent level 1 and 503% at talent level 6.
Additionally, this skill reduces the damage taken while active by 20% at talent level 1, increasing up to 29% at talent level 10, with an additional amount based on 20% of Xingqiu’s Hydro damage bonus.
For each instance of damage taken, one of his rain swords will shatter. While not as effective as a shield, considering the other advantages of this skill, it is certainly useful. Moreover, with a 15-second duration and a 21-second cooldown, the skill will be available for the majority of the time. With Xingqiu’s first passive talent, this skill will also regenerate 6% of his max HP to the active character each time a sword is shattered.
Another advantage of this skill, particularly for melee carries, is that it applies the wet status to enemies that come into contact with the rain swords. This can be extremely useful for characters like Diluc, Keqing, or Beidou, as it allows them to trigger elemental reactions like vaporize and electrocharged even without Xingqiu’s burst ability active.
 | Guhua Sword: Raincutter |
|---|---|
| Elemental Burst | |
| Initiate Rainbow Bladework and fight using an illusory sword rain, while creating the maximum number of Rain Swords. Rainbow Bladework
| |
| Attributes | Level 1 | Level 15 |
|---|---|---|
| Sword Rain DMG | 54.27% | 128.9% |
| Duration | 15 Seconds | 15 Seconds |
| Cooldown | 20 Seconds | 20 Seconds |
| Energy Cost | 80 | 80 |
His elemental burst will trigger consecutive rain sword attacks throughout its duration, and these will occur through basic attacks with the active character, whether they are melee, bow, or catalyst users. However, their range is limited, and they will not work with ranged characters once they pass a certain distance from the enemy. The swords will trigger even if an opponent is not hit with your active character, and the swords can still hit in this case.
To maximize the damage from his elemental burst, it is essential to use a character whose attack animation does not exceed one second and to continuously attack for the entire 15 seconds it is active. Upon casting his burst, the maximum number of rain swords will be applied and will remain throughout its duration. This means his burst provides as much, if not more, damage mitigation than his skill.

These are the upcoming characters that have been announced by miHoyo and some of them are leaked by beta tester players. Their stats are yet to be confirmed and may change upon release.
he is a really good support character.
I was a little disappointed when I drew xingqiu lol, but I still played anyway. Got chongyun recently and pretty happy with him already.
Xingqiu imo is a pretty good character and here is why:
1. He has damage reduction during his 1st and 2nd skill.
2. If any of the 3 swords (4 with constellation) gets shattered, Xingqiu regenerates 6%HP per each one.
3. Base stats may not be extremely good but he also has ATK% as 4th base stat which is pretty good for more dmg.
4. During his skills, he gets increased resistance to interruption which is pretty useful if you don’t have time to dodge or for pretty strong attacks.
5. The damage of the first skill is pretty good + it seems to be on a circle area and even some mid air.
