tested
Xingqiu's 80-energy Burst is expensive — without a battery or Favonius weapon, expect to stack 160%+ ER. The Skill produces 5 particles per cast, giving solid self-energy generation and reducing team ER requirements.

Xingqiu provides consistent Hydro application, damage reduction, and minor healing.
His 80-cost Burst (Raincutter) is the core of his kit — it rains swords that deal coordinated Hydro damage with every normal attack.
With a Sacrificial Sword, he generates massive energy through double Skill procs.
He's one of the most versatile supports in the game, fitting into National, Taser, Freeze, and Vaporize teams
Key Takeaways
- 80-cost Burst, 20s cooldown. High ER demand without proper energy generation.
- Skill generates 5 Hydro particles per cast. With Sacrificial Sword double proc: 10 particles = 30 Energy.
- Solo Xingqiu without Sacrificial Sword needs 433% ER — impossible. Always pair with Sac Sword, Favonius, or a second Hydro.
- In National teams: 170-190% ER with Sacrificial Sword.
- C6 restores 3 flat Energy when enhanced rain swords hit — flat energy ignores ER%.

ER Breakpoints
Recommended targets by team scenario.
| # | Team Scenario | ER Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Solo with Sacrificial Sword | 170-190% | Double Skill proc doubles particle generation |
| 02 | Double Hydro (with Yelan) | 130-150% | Hydro Resonance (+30% ER) + shared particles |
| 03 | National Team | 170-190% | Bennett funnels Pyro particles, but Xingqiu is Hydro |
| 04 | Without Sacrificial Sword | 200-240% | Single Skill proc is insufficient |
