In short: nearly all his damage is the rain swords from his burst, which strike alongside the active character's Normal Attacks. They also grant damage reduction and interruption resistance.
Stats: Energy Recharge to ~200% first (less with Sacrificial Sword), then crit.
In endgame right now: an opening character in this season's Theater.
We adjusted the weapon order: Sacrificial Sword and Favonius are the standard for Xingqiu; 5★ swords add more damage, but he doesn't need them as much.
