What it costs to finish this character
Ascension alone: 760 resin (boss drops only) · talents alone: 590 resin.
Talent domain: Gold, open Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday.
A Crown of Insight is needed for the tenth level of each talent, and crowns are not farmable at any resin price — they come from events.
Materials and mora above are exact, straight from the game’s own tables. The resin figure and the day count divide by an average drop per run, which the game does not publish — they are a community-measured mean, not a promise.

Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen
Xingqiu performs twin strikes with his sword, dealing Hydro DMG. At the same time, this ability creates the maximum number of Rain Swords, which will orbit your active character.
The Rain Swords have the following properties:
·When a character takes DMG, the Rain Sword will shatter, reducing the amount of DMG taken.
·Increases the character's resistance to interruption.
20% of Xingqiu's Hydro DMG Bonus will be converted to additional DMG Reduction for the Rain Swords.
The maximum amount of additional DMG Reduction that can be gained this way is 24%.
The initial maximum number of Rain Swords is 3.
Using this ability applies the Wet status onto the character.
"Easier to slay a rain dragon than to sever the rain."

Weapons and artifacts
UNSURE This is not a tier list and not community guidance — this product has neither. It is a mechanical shortlist, and the rule is printed so you can check it: Swords of 4★ and above whose secondary stat is one this character’s ascension stat scales with, ordered by base attack at level 90. Weapon passives are not weighed, because a passive is an effect and not a number.
| Weapon | Rarity | Base ATK at 90 | Secondary stat |
|---|---|---|---|
 Mistsplitter Reforged | 5★ | 674 | CRIT DMG |
 Absolution | 5★ | 674 | CRIT DMG |
 Azurelight | 5★ | 674 | CRIT Rate |
 Whitelake Frostfeather | 5★ | 674 | CRIT Rate |
 Summit Shaper | 5★ | 608 | ATK% |
 Haran Geppaku Futsu | 5★ | 608 | CRIT Rate |
 Athame Artis | 5★ | 608 | CRIT Rate |
 Exaiphanes Blade | 5★ | 608 | CRIT Rate |
| Set | Two-piece | Four-piece |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution of Sojourner | ATK +18%. | Increases Charged Attack CRIT Rate by 30%. |
| Brave Heart | ATK +18%. | Increases DMG by 30% against opponents with more than 50% HP. |
| Gladiator's Finale | ATK +18%. | If the wielder of this artifact set uses a Sword, Claymore or Polearm, increases their Normal Attack DMG by 35%. |
| Heart of Depth | Hydro DMG Bonus +15% | After using Elemental Skill, increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 30% for 15s. |
| Shimenawa's Reminiscence | ATK +18%. | When casting an Elemental Skill, if the character has 15 or more Energy, they lose 15 Energy and Normal/Charged/Plunging Attack DMG is increased by 50% for 10s. This effect will not trigger again during that duration. |
| Vermillion Hereafter | ATK +18%. | After using an Elemental Burst, this character will gain the Nascent Light effect, increasing their ATK by 8% for 16s. When the character's HP decreases, their ATK will further increase by 10%. This further increase can occur this way a maximum of 4 times. This effect can be triggered once every 0.8s. Nascent Light will be dispelled when the character leaves the field. If an Elemental Burst is used again during the duration of Nascent Light, the original Nascent Light will be dispelled. |
| Echoes of an Offering | ATK +18%. | When Normal Attacks hit opponents, there is a 36% chance that it will trigger Valley Rite, which will increase Normal Attack DMG by 70% of ATK. This effect will be dispelled 0.05s after a Normal Attack deals DMG. If a Normal Attack fails to trigger Valley Rite, the odds of it triggering the next time will increase by 20%. This trigger can occur once every 0.2s. |
| Nymph's Dream | Hydro DMG Bonus +15% | After Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts hit opponents, 1 stack of Mirrored Nymph will be triggered, lasting 8s. When under the effect of 1, 2, or 3 or more Mirrored Nymph stacks, ATK will be increased by 7%/16%/25%, and Hydro DMG Bonus will be increased by 4%/9%/15%. Mirrored Nymph stacks created by Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts exist independently. |
To turn this into a real recommendation section, add a build dataset — per character, the weapons and sets a community source actually recommends, with the rotation each assumes. Nothing in the game’s published data contains that judgement, and a ranking invented here would be indistinguishable from a researched one, which is why there is not one.
Teams
To build a team section, add team data. Which characters go together is judgement about rotations, energy and shielding that this product does not receive and will not guess at.
