Character Guide • Build: Xingqiu | Update Date: 10/21/2023 | Editor: ._.samantha._.
• Best Weapon(s):
With it's high CRIT Rate substat, this weapon is the best offensive option for C6 Xingqiu, as long as ER requirements are met. Not recommended for non-C6 Xingqiu.
Favonius Sword
This weapon has a very high Energy Recharge substat at 61.3%, it also sports the benefit of being able to battery your entire team, and is a powerful option even at refinement level 1.
R3+ Sacrificial Sword This weapon has the same high Energy Recharge substat as Favonius Sword, but it's passive skill lowers Xingqiu's energy needs and is better for his personal damage. However this weapon does have the drawback of desynching rotations since Xingqiu has a very long skill cooldown at 21s.
• Replacement Weapon(s):
Wolf Fang
A Battle Pass weapon, but with enough Energy Recharge or C6, it is his best in slot 4*.

Outfits
Azure Silk
DefaultXingqiu's outfit. Fine robes woven from the high-quality silk sold by the Feiyun Commerce Guild.
Bamboo Rain
Formal wear prepared by the Feiyun Commerce Guild for Xingqiu. The bamboo prints are refined and the cut is most flattering, but Xingqiu's favorite aspect of the outfit is its inner pockets, into which a thinner novel might be stuffed.
Every merchant in Liyue Harbor knows of Xingqiu from the Feiyun Commerce Guild. All see him as a kind and well-mannered young man who is an excellent student, a top talent in every sense. As the second-born son of the family, Xingqiu is not required to shoulder the burden of managing the Guild's affairs. However, Xingqiu possesses a unique scholarly talent among his peers — that is, the offspring of Liyue's wealthiest merchants — and was often praised by his tutors as a young student. Xingqiu's elder brother, while learning the family business from their father, firmly believed that Xingqiu would become a great asset to the business one day. However, little did he know that Xingqiu, after finishing the dauntingly thick volumes on commerce and philosophy, would hollow them out and sneak martial art novels into them, which he read incessantly thereafter. Sometimes, Xingqiu suddenly disappears for hours at a time with no explanation. When asked why, he simply replies: "A moment of solitude."
Xingqiu at your service, my liege! I humbly trust that even one such as I, a mere bookworm, may yet prove to be of some utility under your wise leadership. Nice, I don't often get a chance to speak with such formality. It felt pretty good!
