C3 – Adds three Levels to Xingqiu’s Elemental Burst.Despite the short duration, the Hydro RES debuff’s uptime is 100% as it technically resets with each Burst proc. Against a 20 second cooldown, you’re only looking at 2 seconds of downtime. It bumps the Burst duration from 15 seconds to 18. This is an excellent Constellation to have. C2 – Extends Xingqiu’s Elemental Burst duration by 3 seconds and allows it to decrease enemy Hydro RES by 15% for 4 seconds.While irrelevant to Xingqiu’s DPS, this Constellation is still useful in that it offers more healing and DMG reduction. C1 – Increases the maximum number of Rain Swords Xingqiu generates with his Talents to 4.With enough Energy Recharge and depending on his weapon, Xingqiu is capable of being his own battery. Fortunately, Xingqiu is great at particle generation, with his Elemental Skill providing him with 5 Hydro particles upon hitting at least one enemy. In most cases, Xingqiu is usually the sole Hydro unit in his team. Other than that, you should only consider Hydro Resonance if someone in your team primarily scales off of HP. Xingqiu can technically benefit from this as it’ll make his Rain Swords heal a bit more. Post-Version 3.0, Hydro Resonance provides a 25% Max HP increase. ![]() You can team Xingqiu with another Hydro character to lower his Energy needs. This makes Xingqiu incredibly good for Reactions.Īs a trade off, Raincutter comes with a high cost of 80 Energy. It follows traditional Internal Cooldown but since the Sword Rain attacks at least twice, it generally bypasses the rule and can therefore apply Hydro and set up or trigger its related Reactions with each attack. Furthermore, the bladework has amazing potential for Elemental Reactions. While an individual sword possesses a low multiplier (75.98%), the DMG adds up over time. This attack is a flurry of 2 or 3 Hydro-based Swords that attack in coordination with your active character’s Normal Attacks. In addition to generating and refreshing the maximum number of Rain Swords, this ult initiates Rainbow Bladework. Where Xingqiu’s DPS lies is with his Elemental Burst, Guhua Sword: Raincutter. Obviously, the Rain Swords’ healing pales in comparison to that of more dedicated healers such as Barbara and Bennett but they can heal just enough to get by in most fights. An increased resistance to interruption and a DMG reduction are very helpful buffs to have if you lack a shield (and even if you do have one, the latter effect is still useful). To be fair however, this is not where Xingqiu shines as a sub DPS and his Skill’s value lies more with its utilities. 6, totaling to 502.88%) but it also suffers from a lengthy cooldown of 21 seconds so you can’t attack with it frequently. The double strike does possess a high multiplier (235.2% + 267.88 at Lv. With Xingqiu’s A1 passive, the Rain Swords gain another property of healing your active character by an amount equivalent to 6% of Xingqiu’s Max HP when you take a hit or when the Skill duration expires.Īs an offensive Skill, Xingqiu’s Skill is just alright. When you take DMG, a Rain Sword will be sacrificed to reduce the DMG taken. While the Rain Swords are active, they provide an increased resistance to interruption. Unlike with Barbara’s Skill, the Hydro application on you is not persistent so there is no need to worry about getting hit with Cryo and constantly getting Frozen (take that, Barbara!). They apply Wet on your active character and any nearby enemies. The Rain Swords come with a variety of utilities. When Xingqiu uses his Elemental Skill, Guhua Swords: Fatal Rainscreen, he performs two Hydro strikes and leaves behind 3 Rain Swords that’ll circle around your active character. Primarily, Xingqiu serves as an Off Field DPS for his team. In addition to the gacha, he can be obtained with Masterless Starglitter in “Paimon’s Bargains” during the months of March and September. Xingqiu is a 4-Star Hydro Sword character from Liyue. This post is up to date with Version 3.4 Phase 1
