Xingqiu's Best Teams & Character Synergies
Welcome to our Xingqiu team composition guide and character synergy overview for Genshin Impact. In this guide, we cover the best teams for Xingqiu, alongside recommended character pairings that help maximize his off-field damage and elemental application.
Xingqiu is a Hydro off-field character who serves two primary roles in a team: providing off-field damage and applying Hydro to trigger elemental reactions. Because his Hydro application is only triggered when the active character performs a Normal Attack, his best teams generally feature Normal Attack-focused damage dealers. In those setups, he remains one of the best Hydro applicators in the entire game.
Best Pairings and Synergies With Xingqiu
Xingqiu can be played in multiple team structures due to his exceptional Hydro application. His most popular teams generally revolve around Vaporize, Freeze, and Hyperbloom reactions.
Pyro DPS options like Arlecchino, Hu Tao, Yoimiya, and Diluc are some of Xingqiu's best partners for Vaporize teams. Because they rely on Normal Attacks to deal damage, they perfectly trigger Xingqiu's off-field Hydro application, allowing these teams to perform exceptionally well.
Xingqiu can also be played effectively in Freeze teams. Thanks to his continuous off-field Hydro application, Cryo characters like Skirk, Kamisato Ayaka, and Wriothesley are excellent options to trigger and maintain the Freeze reaction.
