Hoyoverse’s BIGGEST mistake… (Xingqiu Review & Guide)

It doesn't matter what people say, at the end of the day it's clear that Xingqiu is the blueprint for both Yelan and Furina's fighting style

I got him and didn't realize what I had and just lucked into C6 before I saw people on here saying he was awesome so I built him. He's now my favorite character and one of my main party members.

I got Xingqiu in the first 20 pulls for new player, but didn't build him properly because I sucked at fighting the Oceanid. Then I got to AR50 with a decent team to fight her quickly enough to not feel tiring.

Why is your Bennett not Lv.90?

with skill/burst timing, his c4 buffs his skill damage while his burst is active so if can be optimal depending on your energy needs (normally optimal if you have him on sacrificial)

Still waiting for second good Hydro unit to accompany my Yelan. Yes, I have Xingqiu, but I refuse to play femboys.

love your channel buddy.

I got lucky and got Xingqui as one of my first- scratch that, he was the second 4 star I got from any banner(it was standard btw)
I mained him until 4.0 pretty much, I don’t REALLY main anyone now I use everyone equally, tho Xingqui is still the best built.

I have him at C 4 he's very good with hutao along with my mom yelan and xiangling but his e skill cd is way more

Yelan, xingqiu and Hutao and Zhonling are a comfy yet deadly team

Bro i got my first xingqiu after over a year of playing and only cuz i PICKED him during lantern rite

I just got him and I'm working on getting the new weapon for him; both because I'm ftp and because I find the idea of the Xingqiu, the cultured swordsman, wacking people with a metal pipe hilarious.

Bennett is their biggest mistake and it's not even close.
He's so overpowered that all these years later they're scared to replace him with a 5* unit of even comparable power.

Saying favonious is Xingqiu’s best 4 star weapon is the hardest disagree i’ve ever had with you. I agree with almost everything but that take is kind of wild to me. Sacrificial Sword has great regen and two uses of the skill basically means 100% uptime and tons of hydro particles.

Just use C6 Fischl, C6 XingQiu, C6 Xiangling and any DPS you like or any Anemo and you will rock....

xingqiu gets another star for every time someone writes his name as “xingqui”

We need an artifact layout

The fact that a 5 star burst which is main part of her kit was made from copying Xingqui and the archon of hydro element has 1 part of her kit copied from Xigqui burst show how busted this guy is

Imagine doing around 100 pulls on Neuv/Hu Tao banner and still not getting 1 Xingqiu con.

He's the reason I pulled yelan






















Tw*nk won't come home

Speaking of his infrequent appearance on banners, I had a c3 Xingqiu before I even pulled my 1st one(2 from events and 2 from Paimon's Bargains), I finally c6ed him not long ago.

When I first started genshin I pulled him and didn’t like his character design so I quit. And now I can’t get him😢

Kitchen chair? Dude. Okay, fine. I'll sub.

I’ve been playing since the end of 2.1, have him C6, and I still learned stuff in the first 10 minutes of this video 😅😅😅 thanks for the thorough deep dive!

I’ll say it again- Xingqiu + Beidou is so underrated

Thanks for all the info from video, iv got him yesterday to C2 so i try build him.

I haven't build him since forever because I don't have his constellation and I also have Yelan, now that I have his C6 this video came at the right time!

Looking forward to your Fischl video, another character that I'm looking to build next.

Modern 5 stars:
Good damage. Scales with Constellations. Need a dedicated buffer for max damage


Bennett:
Does big damage
Very chunky heal
Best atk buffer in game. Like WTH is 1000 flat atk bro?

Xingqiu:
Omega damage as c6. But usable perfectly at c0.
Damage reduction
Healing
Hydro damage bonus
100% uptime

Like 1.0 4 STARS ARE BROKEN BROO

Funny that until late inazuma, I didn't even touch national team. But it did gets boring when you can bulldozer the game with mc and a certain shielder.

I was lucky enough to get Xingqiu the same day as Kaeya so he’s one of my starter characters. Kaeya-Xingqiu combo carrying me to the end game. Nahida, Kuki, Alhaitham and Xingqiu team current favourite.

He has never left my team for three years. He’s a monster as a lvl 90 fully crowned C6. Couldn’t even imagine GI without Xingqiu, he’s such an integral part of my account. I’d rather give up Bennett.

Bro jello this is your best video so far. Straight and to the point and most important you presented your information so well.

lv 82 benny is funny

I don't like his design but sometimes there's no other choice if i want to run some specific teams so he will be permanently 80/80 on my account

Just a personal issue with me but I don't like his character, I don't like his look, voice, personality ect. I just kinda feel forced to use him.

Love Kingqiu my baby

i stopped using him when yelan came out .
im too tired of using a character that i hate just so i could 36* the abyss.
altho when 4.0 came, i started using him again so that i could play vape klee.
i hope furina's application is comparable to him to allow a vape klee playstyle.

When I started Genshin last year, he was one of the first 4-stars I pulled. I asked my friend if he was good and they said no, so I never built him. Fast forward to a few months ago and I discover he’s one of the best characters in the game! My friend is still against using him, but I’m just glad one of my favorite characters is someone I can happily build and use!

You forgot to specify that the Wet status is applied only in the initial cast of his E, and it will make only Xingqui wet (sussy comment man wtf)

As someone who detest both Xq and Yelan abyss can be quite hard sometimes. But still, can manage.. :) Barbara and Mona FTW.

Im still not going to build him. /thread

yeah and probably also one of the most boring characters in the entire game...

Got him c6 in his banner and omg dude is the sleeper hydro archon and yelan’s 5* cousin in disguise

The thing you didn`t talk about that much is how to continue to use your xingqiu optimally after you got Yelan. Like, to me i fell that outside intense vape teams, his new best usage after getting her is for more dendro seeds generation/hydro application with a little resistence shred&interruption 100% uptime kinda gameplay. There is no need to be/have high personal damage as for in those cases you will probably chose Yelan anyways. But, in a hyperbloom/burgeon team or even Nilou's is where he offers something that her simply dont, specially since he is not doing the majority of those team's damage (the seeds are). I honestly can't seem to bother 2000-3000 less damage per sword he is doing in my Ayato hyper comp somehow, for example. Xingqiu is simply that good. Up to this day (but not better than bennet, hot take)

That moment when you had him since your very first ten pull and he's been sitting in your teams since then and you just cannot stand his face anymore but you cant kick him because no one else plays his roll as perfectly as he does- PLEASE someone save me from his curse, even my Yelan works best with him as double hydro 😩

xingqiu's outfit baited 99% of the playerbase with the first cutscene, from what discord messages have told me

Quite a good video, you definitely utilized the podcast-style video format well. Looks like you're improving quickly.
