Xingqiu is a 4-star Hydro Sword user whose Burst is the reason he’s still one of the most used sub-DPS characters in the game. He applies Hydro DMG pretty fast, enabling consistent reactions without needing much on-field time. He also helps reduce damage taken and heals a bit, making him a great option for many team comps.

Xingqiu fits best in teams with a Normal Attack–focused Main DPS, as his Burst triggers coordinated Hydro strikes on each Normal Attack hit. His off-field Hydro application makes him a top-tier sub-DPS for Pyro characters to enable consistent Vaporize reactions. While he does offer some damage reduction and a bit of healing, it may be not quite enough on its own, so you’ll usually want to pair him with another defensive character (shielder / healer).
