Shared Team Members

With Kaveh

Xingqiu provides Kaveh with the essential Hydro application needed to generate Dendro cores for his Bloom-focused kit. His damage reduction and interruption resistance are also highly beneficial for Kaveh, who needs to stay on-field to maintain his Dendro infusion and detonate cores. This duo is a core component of f2p-friendly Bloom teams.

With Amber

Xingqiu is the premier support for Amber in Vaporize-focused builds, providing consistent off-field Hydro application with his Raincutter swords. This allows Amber to vaporize her Charged Shots or the explosions from Baron Bunny, significantly increasing her personal damage. His defensive utility also helps Amber stay safe while she is aiming her bow.

With Kaveh

Bennett provides Kaveh with a substantial ATK buff that increases his personal damage during his Elemental Burst's Dendro infusion. While Kaveh often focuses on EM for Bloom damage, Bennett's buff and healing make him more versatile and resilient in various team compositions. Bennett also provides the energy needed to help Kaveh maintain his burst uptime.

With Amber

Bennett is an essential support for Amber, providing her with the Pyro Resonance and massive ATK buff needed to make her damage competitive. He acts as a battery for Amber's low-cost burst and provides the healing necessary to keep her healthy. Together, they form a solid Pyro core that can be used to enable various elemental reactions.
