This article is about the playable character. For the Genius Invokation TCG Character Card, see Xingqiu (Character Card).
Xingqiu (Chinese: 行秋 Xíngqiū) is a playable Hydro character in Genshin Impact.
He is the second son of the Guild Manager of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, an influential group in Liyue, and is also a self-proclaimed practitioner of the Guhua Clan's arts. Also an avid reader, Xingqiu aims to be the embodiment of chivalry like the heroes from the books he reads; however, this belies his knack for mischief.
