‘Genshin Impact’ Guide: Tips on How To Optimize Xingqui

The latest character banner in "Genshin Impact" is now live giving players the chance to pull five-star and four-star characters. One of the characters is Xingqui, which could be one of the best support characters when in the right hands. To get the most out of Xingqui, players should know the right combination of weapons and artifacts to use.

Who is Xingqui In "Genshin Impact"

He is an heir to a vast fortune, a master swordsman and a stalwart member of the Guhua Clan. Xingqui is a four-star Hydro character that wields a sword. He excels as a support character, particularly with a Hydro damage dealer in the party. The only way to obtain Xingqui right now is by making a Wish at the current character banner.

Xingqui Best Artifacts

For Xingqui's best build in "Genshin Impact," players can use the Exile set Artifacts. It is commonly found on treasure chests so players won/t have a hard time obtaining them. A couple of Exile set equipped on Xingqui increase his Energy Recharge by 20%.

When players equip him with four Exile Artifacts, his Elemental Bursts regenerate two Energy to every party member for six seconds. In other words, with these Artifacts equipped, Xingqui can use his elemental Skills and ElementalBursts at a much quicker pace, which increases his overall damage output as a result. Players can also use the Full Instructor for better team-wide Elemental Mastery.

Xingqui Best Weapons

Xingqui is a swordsman and finding the best sword for him is crucial in winning battles. Players could equip him with the Skyward Blade as it increases CRIT rate. It also grants a wide range of Skypiercing Might effect, which increases ATK SPD and SPD by 10% while increasing the Normal and Charged Attack DMg by 20%.

For players who do not have the Skyward Blade, they could opt to use the three-star Fillet Blade. It is a common sword, so they won't have a hard time obtaining it. This weapon provides a 50% chance to deal additional ATK DMG to an enemy for up to 400% increase.

Aside from those, players can also use the four-star Sacrificial Sword on Xingqui. This sword ensures that players have Rain Swords up and active nearly permanently between Energy Recharge. It empowers Xingqui as a Support and an Enabler.

Xingqui is now playable in "Genshin Impact" alongside the featured five-star character Ganyu and the four-star character Noelle. They will be available in the game until Feb. 2.
