The Sacrificial Sword is the key to unlocking Xingqiu's potential in Genshin Impact. Its effect allows him to mitigate his long cooldowns and deal an incredible amount of damage and gain a ton of energy. The Sacrificial Sword has the Composed effect that applies after dealing damage to an opponent with an Elemental Skill, making the skill have a 40% chance to end its own CD. This effect can only trigger every 30 seconds at rank one, but, with refinements, this can go down to every 16 seconds.

The reason this synergizes so well with Xingqiu is because his cooldowns are usually very long, but his Elemental Skill deals damage twice, which means the chances of a cooldown reset become high. This allows him to get his burst up much quicker, which helps everyone on the team as his burst lingers even after he swaps off the field. Players who plan on using Xingqiu should definitely get a Sacrificial Sword.

Xingqiu can use several artifact sets to great efficacy. It is mostly upto players to decide whether they want him to deal more damage or provide more buffs to the team. If players want Xingqiu to deal more damage, they can run a 2-piece Heart of Depth artifact set, which will increase his Hydro DMG Bonus by 15%. Players will also want to run at least two pieces of the Noblesse Oblige set to boost his Elemental Burst damage. Players can even run 4-pieces of Nobless Oblige if they want to increase damage for the team, though they will be losing out on the extra Hydro damage.

Players will also want a Hydro Bonus damage Goblet, a Crit Rate or Crit Damage circlet depending on which is lower, either an Attack % or Energy Recharge Sands, and the best substats on the Flower and Feather they can find.
