Notes
- MV/s are calculated using the shortest possible frames without any animation cancels, for different cancels see below.
- Enemies struck by Xingqiu's Charged Attack will be staggered or launched.
Xingqiu performs twin strikes with his sword, dealing Hydro DMG. At the same time, this ability creates the maximum number of Rain Swords, which will orbit your active character.
The Rain Swords have the following properties:
- When a character takes DMG, the Rain Sword will shatter, reducing the amount of DMG taken.
- Increases the character's resistance to interruption.
20% of Xingqiu's Hydro DMG Bonus will be converted to additional DMG Reduction for the Rain Swords.
The maximum amount of additional DMG Reduction that can be gained this way is 24%.
The initial maximum number of Rain Swords is 3.
Using this ability applies the Wet status onto the character.
"Easier to slay a rain dragon than to sever the rain."

Notes
- The DMG Reduction:
- Does not take the Hydro DMG Bonus% gained from Kazuha's A4 into account.
- Is affected by Mistsplitter's passive.
- Does not work for the self-damage from Burgeon.
- Increased resistance to interruption stacks with other skills of similar effects.
- After the Rain Swords pop, there is a small window of time where Xingqiu can apply Hydro to enemies, even if the rain swords aren't visible.
- This occurs with the orbitals created by both Xingqiu's Skill and Burst.
- Only one Rain Sword can be shattered at a time, and the shattering has a cooldown of 1.5s.
- Using Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen applies a very brief 1U Hydro aura onto the character.
- EQE is about 0.5 - 1s slower on average compared to QEE or EEQ in teams where Xingqiu's E CD gates the rotation time. See more in this Vault Entry.
- See this vault entry for a list of specific edge cases that trigger the healing from breaking the Rain Swords
Initiate Rainbow Bladework and fight using an illusory sword rain, while creating the maximum number of Rain Swords.
Rainbow Bladework
- Your active character's Normal Attacks will trigger consecutive sword rain attacks, dealing Hydro DMG.
- Rain Swords will remain at the maximum number throughout the ability's duration.
The "Way of the Rain Cutter" is one of the esoteric secret techniques of the Guhua Sect.

Notes
- The number of Sword Rain attacks in each wave cycles in a 2-3 sequence, with the first wave having 2 Sword Rain attacks.
- Rain Swords will not shatter.
- Rain Swords DMG Reduction created by Guhua Sword: Raincutter also snapshots.
- Before swapping, Guhua Sword: Raincutter's Rain Swords will always override Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen's .
- After swapping, the DMG Reduction is based on the most recently cast Rain Swords.
- Sword Rain waves can be triggered at most once a second. So long as you are still in a normal attack animation, the next Sword Rain wave will be triggered as soon as possible.
- Some normal attack animations, which persist longer than 1 second, can trigger multiple Sword Rain waves.
- The Normal Attack may be cancelled, but Sword Rain wave will still be triggered.
- Guhua Sword: Raincutter does not snapshot buffs on cast. However, each wave of sword rain attacks from Guhua Sword: Raincutter will snapshots buffs when they are summoned.
- Xingqiu's Burst has 106 idle i-frames (1.8s).
- Burst Cancelling by using a special interaction on Xingqiu causes his Burst Sword Rain to not proc and his Skill to not create Rain Sword Orbitals.
