Best weapon for Xingqiu, calculated
Primordial Jade Cutter tops the weapon calc for Xingqiu at 21,817 average damage on Elemental Skill. Every row below is the same hit with only the weapon swapped, at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1 — the right-hand column is the damage you give up by running it instead.
Each sword equipped on a Lv90 Xingqiu at talent 10 — base ATK, substat and any modelled passive. Weapons whose passive is not modelled show only their raw stats; better a missing buff than a wrong one. Swap any of them in the Xingqiu calculator to re-run the whole chain on your own panel.

Xingqiu build questions, answered
What does Xingqiu scale off?
Xingqiu's Elemental Skill scales off total ATK — character base ATK plus weapon base ATK, then (1 + ATK%) and flat ATK on top. A weapon’s base ATK line therefore feeds this character directly.
What stat does Xingqiu get from ascension?
Xingqiu's ascension substat is ATK%. It arrives at the Level-80/90 ascension and is part of the character's own stats, so the calculator counts it before any artifact roll is added.
What is the best weapon for Xingqiu?
Ranked by computed Elemental Skill damage at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1, Primordial Jade Cutter is the strongest sword for Xingqiu at 21,817 average damage per hit. The Sacrificial Sword used by this page's preset panel averages 11,994, 45.0% behind it.
What artifacts should Xingqiu use?
Emblem of Severed Fate (4) is the set this calculator presets Xingqiu with, and the damage tables include its bonuses. Set effects that depend on the element of the hit are applied per row rather than as a flat average.
How much damage should Xingqiu do?
On the default Level-90, talent-10 build shown above, Xingqiu's largest single hit averages 11,994 — the table lists its CRIT and non-CRIT numbers separately. That is a reference panel, not a target: load your own artifact rolls into the calculator to get your own number.
Do these numbers include Xingqiu's constellations?
No — every table is computed at C0. Constellations that are unconditional and clearly numeric are modelled in the calculator and marked as such on this page; the rest are listed as text only and change nothing.
How those numbers are produced: the damage formula, term by term, and the weapon & artifact build guide. If Xingqiu still hits soft, the six levers ranked by damage added shows which multiplier is holding a build back.
