Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
Xingqiu is undoubtedly one of the best units inGenshin Impact. He provides amazing off-field damage while supporting his teammate with defensive properties. Xingqiu allows players to go “Unga Bunga” on enemies as long as his Elemental Burst is active since his Rain Swords greatly block incoming damage and enhance the on-field character’s resistance to interruption. Additionally, once his Rain Swords are gone, Xingqiu will heal the active character, allowing them to escape the battle with little to no harm.
All this can be done by the Guhua Disciple at C0, and his value skyrockets once Travelers unlock hisGenshin ImpactConstellations.

Are Xingqiu’s Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?
Yes, Xingqiu’sConstellations inGenshin Impactare highly worth it. His most important Constellations lie on his C2 and C6, but the rest of them are great too.
C1 - The Scent Remained
While Xingqiu’s Rain Swords do protect characters from incoming DMG, it’s not really an effective addition when his kit is operating properly. Xingqiu’s Elemental Burst spawns an infinite amount of Rain Swords that will continuously block DMG. And since the best way to play Xingqiu is to keep his Burst active, there’s no need for having an extra Rain Sword.
One good thing about this Constellation is thatit increases the minor healing Xingqiu grantswhen his Rain Sword expires or is shattered.
C2 - Rainbow Upon the Azure Sky
Utility-wise, Xingqiu’s second Constellation has his most important buff. Adding three seconds to his Elemental Burst willremove its downtime and make Xingqiu’s off-field DMG a non-stop featurein his team composition. While that’s already enough to make it his best Constellation, Xingqiu gets another enhancement on his C2, which is shredding enemies’ Hydro resistance by 15%.
C4 - Evilsoother
While Xingqiu’s Elemental Burst is the star of his kit, still, his Elemental Skill is equally important. It has high DMG and good protection while being his source of Energy. When wielding his best-in-slot,Sacrificial Sword,Xingqiu will be able to cast his Skill twice, which will greatly increase his DMG.
C6 - Hence, Call Them My Own Verses
After having his final Constellation unlocked,Xingqiucan practically cast his Elemental Burst endlessly. He will no longer befacing Energy issues and can support the teamwith satisfactory uptime. Additionally, his off-field DPS will also gain a boost, which will make him both an amazing offense and defense unit.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
