As a character, Xingqiu Genshin Impact uses the Hydro element with a Sword weapon. 

Xingqiu's Normal Attack consists of 5 consecutive attacks that deliver physical damage to the enemy.

Elemental Skill from Xingqiu namely Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen, Xingqiu will give a quick attack (slash) which can deal Hydro DMG.

Around Xingqiu will appear Hydro swords called Rain Swords whose number is between 3 to 4 depending on the constellation they have.

This Rain Sword will reduce damage obtained from the enemy based on the percentage of bonus Hydro DMG that Xingqiu has.

For example, damage that the enemy gives one hit of 1000, every Rain Sword that is hit damage it will reduce by 300 so you only get 700.

The Rain Sword will disappear if your character keeps getting it damage and the duration is up.

After the duration runs out, the total remaining Rain Sword will be converted to recover the character's HP based on Xingqiu's maximum HP.

Xingqiu will bring out Rain Swords as well as Rainbow Bladework. Rain Sword has the same function as Elemental Skill but has a longer duration.

Rainbow Bladework is a Hydro sword that can deal Hydro DMG. This skill will be active when the character uses Normal Attack.

You will get a maximum of 75% bonus DMG from using this artifact for Xingqiu.

Personally the author feels artifact sets this is for now the most compatible with Xingqiu.

You don't have to specialize farming this artifact because it can be gentlemen farming Shimenawa's Reminiscence for your other characters.

Another option you can use is the artifact set of 2 sets Heart of Depth that you combine with 2 sets Noblesse Oblige.

Noblesse Oblige 2 sets good because it will increase Elemental Burst DMG +25% from Xingqiu build you and get additional Hydro DMG Bonus +15% from Heart of Depth.

Option using 4 sets Noblesse Oblige you can actually use it too. 

4 sets Noblesse Oblige will increases the ATK of all characters on your team by 20% for 12 seconds after character uses Elemental Bursts.

However, the writer feels that this artifact does not show Xingqiu's potential, so the writer feels that it is better for you to use the Emblem of Severed Fate.
