Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
Out of all the available supports inGenshin Impact,Xingqiuis 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 withSacrificial Sword inGenshin Impact, Xingqiu will be twice as good at this job.
Considering all this utility, it’s no surprise thatGenshin Impactplayers 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,aGenshin Impactsupportwould 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
Just like any Hydro characters, Xingqiu needs theVarunada Lazuritestones for his ascension materials. Meanwhile, for the boss drop, he requiresCleansing Heart, similar to other original Hydro units. As for the Local Specialty, Xingqiu has to share theSilk FlowerwithHu Tao inGenshin 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:
Enemy Drop - Where to Find Hilichurl Masks
If Travelers have been roaming around Teyvat for a while, they’re sure to have plenty ofHilichurl 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:
40+
60+
Ominous Mask
Boss Drop - How to Get Cleansing Heart
To get Cleansing Heart, players have to defeatRhodeia of Loch, also known as the Oceanid. Unliketypical bosses inGenshin Impact, people will only fight herHydro 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:
If theSeed Dispensary Gadgetis equipped when Travelers are picking the flower, then they’ll also obtain the seeds, which they canplant in theirSerenitea Pot.
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.
Talent Level 9 -> 10 (max)
Talent Books - Gold
TheGoldbook series can be obtained fromTaishan Mansionon Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. Xingqiu shares his talent level-up materials withZhongli,Beidou,Yanfei, andXinyan.
Trounce Materials
TheTail of Boreasis a possible reward from theWolf of the North challenge.If players get the Ring of Boreas or Spirit Locket of Boreas instead, then they can use aDream Solventto turn them into Tail of Boreas.
