Xingqiu's Off-Field DPS build centers on his ability to deal damage and apply an immense amount of Hydro off-field with his Elemental Burst. His ER needs can change a lot based on team and constellations, and so do his list of recommended weapons. As such this serves a general idea of which weapons are most viable on Xingqiu.
