Here’s what you need to know about Xingqiu, and why he’s such a beast if combined with our Electro Queen.
Xingqiu is an amazing reaction support and one of the best 4 star units in the game. He fits into every comp, synergizes well with all other elements, and can be considered a must have if you want to play Keqing with 4TF (Thundering Fury).
In this video I go through how to play Xingqiu, and how to build him, including weapons, artifact sets, constellations and more, and explain what he does for Keqing that other supports can’t.

His E is cracked tho, the damage is surprisingly huge. With sacrificial sword its broken af,because he can do double flip.
4TF really needs to have Xingqiu as a support for Keqing, but if you have him with her…their combo is deadly. The major drawback of other builds is the lack of energy for charged attacks, but with 4tf keqing + xingqiu the E spam plus heavy energy reachrges for bursts of all characters covers up for the dmg even if we dont spam charged attacks too much and i personally love it more than any other keqing build.
But yeah drawback is that the water boii is an absolute must. Guess ill be sticking to thiis buiild for a long time hehe XD. Thnx for clearing any doubts i had in my mind
nice guide, now i just have to get keqing 😂
That's ok but with 2pc of heart of depth (15%hidro DMG) and 2pc noblesse (20% ult+) (15%+20%=35%) you can do the same damage without electro characters
I've watched a few Xingqiu guides, and this one is by far the most well explained I've seen. This deserves more views!
thanks dude will try doing this!
Xingqiu is waifu
8:15 damn you want a scholarship
Can u run 4pc TS on keqing if you're planning on using Xinqiu as support?
Interesting….
I keep trying to run Xingqui with my Keqing, but I always wind up preferring Mona instead. Likely because her ability distracts enemies, and her ultimate followed up by Keqing's ultimate is fuggin ridiculous. Good stuff though.
That's a great video.. Man, you explain everything about Keqing, Xingqiu and TF, TS.. That's a lot..
I thought EM was best for Xingqiu but I didn't know these bits about electro charge reactions, I actually mainly use him for freeze reactions which makes EM a complete waste now that I think about it, lol.
if i have both xinqiu and bennett on my team, can they still be both built with 4 piece noblesse even though it doesn’t stack?
I big dumb with these newer gamer terms. What's EC proc?
Razor n xingqiu too
Everyone: XQ's the best support
Me: just surprised he mentioned "Dragons Nest"
I got Xingqiu the same day ive got Keqing
ive never had to live without him
He's also my Chongyun's best man
Great vid!! Love it I just 4 piece gladiator on her tho, it’s a pretty good balance of everything. But I was actually already building him currently c5 lvl 60 then thought hmm lemme research and ran into your vid! Good stuff!!
0:11 be careful, you can't assume someone's gender or pronoun.
You don't know how they might identify.
Personally, I'm a toaster.
This video made me subscribe
Xinqiu + keqing deletes anything
9:58 If Q is up, Q then E makes way more sense. Especially if you have C4.
With sac sword, Q –> E –> E basically fully recharges his ult. Most of the time I run around with Q ready on my XQ because of this.
I'm here for Xingque not Keqing..
But barbara can heal qeqing and apply wet tho….it hard to decide
Whoa! Chills when you brought up Dragon Nest! Its been a while since I played DN lol
So is 4pc TS better than 4pc Noblesse if you have Keqing dps?
Wait
I am still playing both Dragon Nest and Genshin Impact
Should i do Q-E combo instead if i have C4 on Xingqiu?
Xingqiu is literally every character's best support
he's male
Wow this was really informative and taught me some new tricks and quirks about this combo that are super useful. The bit about her charged attack still triggering his swords blew my mind 🤯 Thanks for the great video!
Is it fine to replace xinque for ganyu? I’m sorry if you addressed this in the video because I was very tired and needed to sleep for today
Yoooo Xingqiu is my favorite support for Keqing.
Did you just say Dragon Nest!?
damn exactly what video i need <3
great vid alec :))
I heard that Xingqiu was great but had no idea why until I watched this. Thank you for the detailed explanation!
How about using xinqiu with 4 set lavawalker ? It is good for his elemental skill dmg boost ?
as someone who saves his Primo for Keqing as soon as her banner is announced, I'm 1000% glad I found this
I have C2 xingqiu now and I want to build him after watching your vedio
HE READ KEQING AND XINGQIU RIGHT YESSSSSSSSS
Am i drunk or mostly every single person in the comments type "Xingqiu" as "Xingqui"? Not tryna be rude, but just.. Why..? 😂
I miss dragon nest 🥺
Informative about the Cooldown reduc proc, thanks
And I just wanted to use him cuz he’s fast like Kuching lol
