Xingqiu is an excellent Hydro support who can greatly enhance the damage of any DPS character. His abilities also work incredibly well with Freeze and Melt teams. Meanwhile, Xiangling works as a fantastic Pyro DPS or sub-DPS unit, which is particularly useful for those looking to beat Spiral Abyss content.
