Synergy Of Vaporize Xingqiu Team
| Character | Detail |
|---|---|
| Hu Tao | She can utilize Xingqiu's Hydro application and off-field DPS. Hu Tao does not need much healing so the ample heal from Xingqiu's barrier is enough. |
| Albedo | He provide off-field Geo DPS & EM buff, and enable Geo resonance with Zhongli. |
| Zhongli | He is a staple in microwave team comps since he is the only one who can enable the pulses from Geo constructs thru his monolith. Also, his durable shield can protect Hu Tao from incoming damage while reducing the elemental RES of nearby opponents. |
The objective of this team is to funnel all buffs to sustain Xingqiu's barrier, Zhongli's shield, & Geo constructs while Hu Tao is the active character.
Pros & Cons Of Vaporize Xingqiu Team
| Pros | - Hu Tao can deal heavy damage thru consistent vaporize reaction - Geo resonance can boost the damage output of the team |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Disadvantageous when facing an opponent that can ignore the shield such as corrosion debuff - Albedo's Geo construct may accidentally interrupt Hu Tao's attack rotation |
Rotation Of Vaporize Xingqiu Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Zhongli's Elemental Skill for shield and monolith |
| 2 | Switch to Albedo |
| 3 | Use Albedo's Elemental Skill near the monolith for resonating vibration |
| 4 | Switch to Xingqiu |
| 5 | Use Xingqiu's Burst & Skill for Hydro application |
| 6 | Switch to Hu Tao |
| 7 | Use Hu Tao's Skill for Pyro infusion |
| 8 | Use Hu Tao's until Pyro infusion is gone |
| 9 | Return to step 1 |

Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Hu Tao | DilucKlee | - Reserve this slot for a Pyro DPS |
| Albedo | XianglingNahidaKazuhaMona | - Use this slot for an off-field DPS - Support buffer is also a good option for this slot - When Dendro is included, it is easier for Xingqiu to trigger vaporize due to burning reaction |
| Zhongli | KiraraBennettJean | - Aside from shielder, this slot can also be used for healer |
Zhongli's shield is durable & convenient to the point that you can opt not to have a healer in the team. If you do not have him, choose a healer that would be useful for the main DPS.

Xingqiu | Sacrificial Sword Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main Sands: ATK Goblet: Hydro DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT Rate Sub 1. CRIT DMG 2. CRIT Rate 3. ATK% 4. Energy Recharge |
Alhaitham | Light of Foliar Incision Gilded Dreams x4 Main Sands: EM Goblet: Dendro DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate 3. CRIT DMG 4. Elemental Mastery |

Kuki Shinobu | Freedom-Sworn Gilded Dreams x4 Main Sands: EM Goblet: EM Circlet: EM Sub 1. Elemental Mastery 2. Energy Recharge 3. HP% 4. Flat HP |
Synergy Of Hyperbloom Xingqiu Team
| Character | Detail |
|---|---|
| Alhaitham | A powerful melee Dendro DPS who can utilize the persistent element application of Xingqiu & Kuki. |
| Nahida | She can sustain the Dendro application and increase the team's EM which boosts the damage of Hyperblooms. |
| Kuki Shinobu | Her Skill can heal the active character and the Electro application makes her high EM significant for boosting the damage out Hyperbloom projectiles. The buff from Freedom-Sworn can empower Alhaitham's normal & charged ATK. |
The objective of this team is to produce Dendro cores and transform them into hyperbloom projectiles thru Kuki's Skill. The projectiles are homing which chase an opponent even if it is quickly moving or afloat.
Pros & Cons Of Hyperbloom Xingqiu Team
| Pros | - Alhaitham can deal damage together with hyperbloom projectiles - Kuki's Skill is efficient since it heals and transforms Dendro cores simultaneously |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Kuki consumes HP whenever Skill is used so she needs on-field time to recover - Could be difficult to utilize when facing an enemy that has a debilitating debuff such as corrosion - Less effective against opponents that are immune or resistant to Dendro |
Rotation Of Hyperbloom Xingqiu Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Nahida's Burst for EM buff |
| 2 | Use Nahida's Skill for mark |
| 3 | Switch to Xingqiu |
| 4 | Use Xingqiu's Burst & Skill for Hydro application |
| 5 | Switch to Kuki |
| 6 | Use Kuki's Elemental Skill for Electro application |
| 7 | Switch to Alhaitham |
| 8 | Use Alhaitham's Elemental Burst for 3 instant mirror stacks |
| 9 | Use Alhaitham's normal/charged ATK until mirror stacks are consumed |
| 10 | Use Alhaitham's Elemental Skill if mirror stacks are either 1 or 0 |
| 11 | Repeat from step 1 |
Even if Kuki's Burst does not deal much damage, its Electro application does not have a cooldown which is useful for transforming Dendro cores quickly. Also, it is advantageous for decreasing the enemy's DEF with C2 Nahida.
When To Use Kuki's Burst
Kuki's Burst does not have an internal cooldown so it can consecutively apply Electro and trigger any possible reactions when the enemy inside the AoE. It is recommended to use when both Nahida's Burst & Xingqiu's barrier are active.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Alhaitham | AyatoKeqing | - Choose a melee DPS with either Dendro, Hydro, or Electro for consistent hyperbloom |
| Nahida | Dendro TravelerColleiBaizhuYaoyao | - The rate of Dendro application is vital because the production of Dendro cores depends on it - Go for Dendro healer if the team does not have a healer yet |
| Kuki Shinobu | FischlYae MikoRaiden ShogunElectro TravelerDori | - Include a good Electro applicator - Go for off-field Electro DPS with EM build if the team already has a healer |
As long as Hydro & Dendro can produce Dendro cores, the Electro character can transform it to hyperbloom projectile that inflicts damage simultaneously with the melee DPS.

| Baizhu | YaoyaoKokomi | - Hydro healer is also a good option |
This team is restricted to Hydro-Dendro and Nilou is a must-have because of her Bountiful cores. Choose 2 Hydro & 2 Dendro for optimized team comp to enable double resonance.
