Out of all the available supports in Genshin Impact, Xingqiu is a fan favorite. The Guhua Disciple is amazing in both offense and defense. Offensively, both his Elemental Skill and Burst can deal great damage without him having to take field time. Meanwhile, defensively, Xingqiu can reduce incoming damage, and then heal the active character whenever his Rain Sword disappears. As if that's not enough, this unit is also an amazing battery. If equipped with Sacrificial Sword in Genshin Impact, Xingqiu will be twice as good at this job.

Considering all this utility, it's no surprise that Genshin Impact players would want to raise this character. If Travelers are looking for the list of things they need to ascend Xingqiu and upgrade his talents, then this article will help.

Leveling Materials

Usually, a Genshin Impact support would be kept at level 70 or 80, but Xingqiu's utility is way too good for him to be left at those levels. He'll need both the HP and ATK stat granted by his level, so players should aim to maximize it. For that, they will need:

Xingqiu Ascension Items

Xingqiu from Genshin Impact

Just like any Hydro characters, Xingqiu needs the Varunada Lazurite stones for his ascension materials. Meanwhile, for the boss drop, he requires Cleansing Heart, similar to other original Hydro units. As for the Local Specialty, Xingqiu has to share the Silk Flower with Hu Tao in Genshin Impact.

Gemstones - Where to Find Varunada Lazurite

Players will need Varunada Lazurite to ascend Xingqiu, as he's a Hydro character. This gem can be collected from the Oceanid, which also needs to be fought for Xingqiu. Other bosses can also drop it, though. Here's a full list:

*Both the Primo Geovishap and Azhdaha can only drop Varunada Lazurite when they are infused with Hydro.

For every method of collecting Varunada Lazurite, check out this guide:

Every Hydro character in Genshin Impact will use Varunada Lazurite in their ascension, so here's where to find it.

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Hilichurl Masks

If Travelers have been roaming around Teyvat for a while, they're sure to have plenty of Hilichurl Masks. Obviously, this item is dropped by Hilichurls. This includes Samachurls, Mitachurls, and Lawachurls, as well. These monsters will drop higher-quality items at higher levels:

Boss Drop - How to Get Cleansing Heart

To get Cleansing Heart, players have to defeat Rhodeia of Loch, also known as the Oceanid. Unlike typical bosses in Genshin Impact, people will only fight her Hydro Mimics, and not Rhodeia herself.

As her minions will be water creatures, players can utilize Cryo for permafreeze, Electro for Electro-charged reactions, or Pyro for easy Vaporize effects. Dendro Cores can also be created easily, as these enemies are basically always Hydro-afflicted. However, what matters most is that Travelers have to prepare a ranged unit (bow or long-ranged catalyst) for the flying Birds/Raptors.

Local Specialty - Where to Find Silk Flower

Silk Flower is a special flora that requires proper caring to grow. This is why people won't find them in the wild. To collect Silk Flowers, here are some possible sources:

  • The base of Wangshu Inn
  • Yujing Terrace of Liyue Harbor
  • Bought from Ms. Bai (Qingce Village) and Verr Goldet (Wangshu Inn). Each of them will sell five Silk Flowers, each costing 1,000 Mora. They both restock them every three days.

If the Seed Dispensary Gadget is equipped when Travelers are picking the flower, then they'll also obtain the seeds, which they can plant in their Serenitea Pot.

Some character ascensions in Genshin Impact demand players to find some Silk Flowers; here are their locations.

Xingqiu Talent Materials

For Xingqiu's talents, players should prioritize his Elemental Burst first. Afterward, they can work on his Elemental Skill. Meanwhile, his Normal Attack should be left at level one as Xingqiu is unlikely to use them in a fight. To upgrade his talents, players will need the items and Mora listed in this table.

Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.

You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.

SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
