Should You Pull for Qingque?

Main DPS

Qingque is a 4-star DPS built around drawing tiles: collect 4 jade tiles of the same suit and her Basic ATK turns into Cherry on Top!, which hits very hard. Her self-buffs are huge, but she eats both Skill Points and Energy, and she needs a lot of investment before she really comes online.

A good fit if you like controlling every turn yourself and doing a bit of planning, because she does not play well on Auto. If you want a strong endgame DPS you do not have to think about, look at someone else.

Memory of Chaos Good She needs a lot of Skill Points and heavy investment before she can deal big damage here.
Pure Fiction Good Cherry on Top! only splashes onto adjacent enemies, and her AoE Ultimate costs 140 Energy, so you cannot use it often.
Apocalyptic Shadow Strong Her damage depends on drawing the right tiles, so without her Ultimate ready you can still get unlucky and lose tempo.
Pros & Cons

Pros

  • A decent all-rounder for a 4-star
  • Good self-sufficiency and very strong self-buffs

Cons

  • Somewhat reliant on her Ultimate to recover from bad luck
  • Hungry for both Energy and Skill Points
  • Takes a long time to come online and needs a lot of investment
  • Her self-buffs can reduce the effectiveness of other supports' buffs

Best Qingque Build Guide

Best Qingque Build

Qingque is a standard CRIT DPS: ATK, CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG. The one stat to think about is SPD, and whether you build it depends on your Relic set and your teammates.

Best Light Cones

  • 1 Yet Hope Is Priceless Yet Hope Is Priceless Best
    A 5-star Light Cone that fits her kit perfectly and gives her the highest damage.
  • 2 Before Dawn Before Dawn Best
    Another top pick. It raises her CRIT DMG and her Skill and Ultimate DMG. At E4, it also boosts the DMG of her follow-up attack.
  • 3 Night on the Milky Way Night on the Milky Way Great
    Gives her more ATK, plus extra DMG when she breaks an enemy's Weakness. It needs several enemies on the field, around 3, to work fully, which makes it great in Pure Fiction. Against fewer enemies it gets weaker.
  • 4 Geniuses' Repose Geniuses' Repose Great
    Her best 4-star Light Cone. It raises ATK and gives extra CRIT DMG when she defeats an enemy. You need to keep that on-kill buff active to get the most out of it.
  • 5 The Day The Cosmos Fell The Day The Cosmos Fell Easy to get
    The budget 4-star option. Qingque easily gets its CRIT DMG buff by hitting several enemies with their Weakness, so it is best in modes with lots of enemies per wave like Pure Fiction.

Best Relics

1
Her best set. It gives a lot of CRIT Rate as long as Qingque is slow enough, at the cost of an 8% SPD penalty. Do not build SPD with it. It works best next to a strong action advancer like Sparkle, since then Qingque's own SPD barely matters.
2
The second choice. It raises her overall DMG and lets her ignore part of the DEF of enemies weak to Quantum.
3
The third choice. It gives CRIT DMG and raises the DMG of her Enhanced Basic ATK.

Best Planar Ornaments

1
One of her two best options. Qingque spams her Skill, so she easily spends 3 or more Skill Points in one turn, and then she gets 48% CRIT DMG for all her attacks.
2
About as good as Tengoku@Livestream. It raises Basic ATK DMG, and Qingque's biggest hit is her Enhanced Basic ATK. It needs 70% CRIT Rate to activate.
3
The third choice. It gives ATK and a DMG boost, but only once she has 135 SPD or more, so it does not go together with Poet of Mourning Collapse.

Main Stats

  • BodyCRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
  • FeetATK% or SPD
  • Planar SphereQuantum DMG Boost
  • Link RopeATK%

Substats

  • 1CRIT Rate
  • 2CRIT DMG
  • 3ATK%
  • 4SPD (only to hit a breakpoint)

CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG both work on the Body. On the Feet, go for ATK% first and only take SPD if you are building her fast and not using Poet of Mourning Collapse.

Keep roughly 2% CRIT DMG for every 1% CRIT Rate. SPD is only worth it if you play her fast and need to hit a breakpoint. If she wears Poet or has Sparkle advancing her, skip it.

Stat Targets

  • CRIT Rate70% or more
  • CRIT DMG120% or more, ideally 130% to 140%
  • ATK2500 or more
  • SPD98, or 135 or more

Skill Priority

Basic ATK > Skill = Talent, Ultimate alongside them or later

Her Basic ATK is her main source of damage, so level it first. Her Skill sets how much DMG each stack adds, and her Talent sets how much ATK she gains in the Hidden Hand state. Her Ultimate is her second source of damage and helps her recover from bad draws.

Trace Priority

Bide Time > Winning Hand > Tile Battle

Bide Time matters most: every Skill use adds an extra 10% DMG Boost, so at 4 stacks that is an extra 40%. Winning Hand gives her SPD after her Enhanced Basic ATK. Tile Battle only refunds 1 Skill Point per battle, so it is worth less.

Eidolon Priority

E4 and E6 are the two most valuable

With E4, using her Skill gives a 24% fixed chance to gain Autarky until the end of the turn, and while it is active her Basic ATK or Enhanced Basic ATK launches 1 follow-up attack dealing 100% of that hit's DMG. E6 makes her Enhanced Basic ATK recover 1 Skill Point, which fixes her biggest weakness of burning Skill Points. E1 and E2 are only decent: E1 adds 10% Ultimate DMG, and E2 gives 1 Energy every time she draws a tile.

Best Qingque Teams

Skill Point Funnel Team

Replace Sparkle with: Bronya Replace Tingyun with: Robin, Ruan Mei, Hanya, Asta, Pela Replace Fu Xuan with: Luocha

Pour every Skill Point into Qingque so she keeps getting turns and lands huge damage before a full cycle passes. Sparkle and Tingyun both give her very strong buffs that push her damage even higher. Fu Xuan redirects damage to herself, reduces the damage the team takes and adds CRIT Rate. Luocha can take Fu Xuan's spot.

Mono-Quantum Team

An all-Quantum team works very well. Silver Wolf applies debuffs, shreds a lot of DEF and can always implant a Quantum Weakness on the enemy. Combined with Genius of Brilliant Stars, Qingque ignores even more DEF. Fu Xuan takes hits for the team and reduces the damage everyone takes.

Budget Team (All 4-Stars)

This team handles both single-target and AoE fights. Dan Heng takes care of high-HP enemies, while Trailblazer (Preservation) and Lynx keep everyone alive.

Best Teammates for Qingque

Sparkle
Sparkle

Her strongest support. Qingque is extremely Skill Point hungry and usually built slow, and Sparkle gives both extra Skill Points and a Quantum DMG boost, so she is preferred over Bronya.

Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf

Shreds a huge amount of DEF and can always implant a Quantum Weakness, which pairs well with Genius of Brilliant Stars in the Mono-Quantum team.

Fu Xuan
Fu Xuan

The CRIT Rate from her Skill makes Qingque less reliant on luck, and she covers survival too. She also counts toward the Mono-Quantum team.

Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae
Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae

A go-to pick for ATK-scaling teams. He shields the whole team, buffs one teammate's ATK, and can stick to his Basic ATK so all the Skill Points go to Qingque.

Tingyun
Tingyun

Gives Qingque very strong buffs that push her damage higher.

Bronya
Bronya

Boosts Qingque's DMG and gives her an extra turn with her Skill.

Robin
Robin

Gives the whole team DMG buffs and advances every ally after using her Ultimate.

Hanya
Hanya

Recovers Skill Points for the team, and her Ultimate raises Qingque's SPD and ATK.

Pela
Pela

Lowers enemy DEF and removes enemy buffs, so Qingque deals more damage.

Ruan Mei
Ruan Mei

Brings a lot of useful buffs, including RES PEN for all Types when she uses her Ultimate.

How to Play Qingque

Collect 4 Jade Tiles of the Same Suit

At the start of every ally's turn, Qingque draws 1 random jade tile (there are 3 suits), keeping up to 4 in her hand. If her own turn begins with 4 tiles of the same suit, she spends them all and enters the Hidden Hand state: her ATK goes up, and her Basic ATK Flower Pick becomes Cherry on Top!, which also hits the enemies next to the target. Without a full set, Flower Pick tosses 1 tile from the suit she has the fewest of, which reshuffles her hand and still gives the team Skill Points.

Use Her Skill to Draw, Up to 4 Times

Her Skill, A Scoop of Moon, draws 2 tiles right away and raises her DMG until the end of the turn. The buff stacks up to 4 times, and her turn does not end after using it. Keep using it until you have a full set, then fire off Cherry on Top!. Do not use it more than 4 times in a row, since the DMG buff only stacks 4 times. Keep in mind that Cherry on Top! does not recover Skill Points, so be careful not to drain the team.

Use Her Ultimate Mid-Turn to Beat Bad Luck

Her Ultimate, A Quartet? Woo-hoo!, deals Quantum DMG to all enemies and gives her 4 tiles of the same suit, which makes it the surest way to get Cherry on Top!. Neither her Skill nor her Ultimate ends her turn, so when her Ultimate is ready you can draw with her Skill freely. If 4 draws still do not give you a full set, use her Ultimate right away: it benefits from the DMG stacks you have built, and because it is still her turn, the Cherry on Top! you follow up with gets the same boost.

The catch is that her Ultimate costs 140 Energy and her Skill gives her no Energy, so her Energy comes from Flower Pick and Cherry on Top!. Save the Ultimate for the right moment.

Use Her Technique Before Battle

Her Technique, Game Solitaire, makes Qingque draw 2 jade tiles when the battle starts, so she completes a set faster from her first turn.

Quick Tips

  • If she wears Poet of Mourning Collapse, do not build SPD at all, neither on the Feet nor in substats.
  • Do not leave Qingque on Auto, she needs you to decide when to draw and when to use her Ultimate.
  • Use her Skill at most 4 times per turn, since its DMG buff only stacks 4 times and extra uses just burn Skill Points.
  • Qingque gets a lot stronger once she unlocks Bide Time at level 60, so do not give up on her if she feels weak early on.
  • With Rutilant Arena, keep her CRIT Rate at 70% or more. With Firmament Frontline: Glamoth, she needs 135 SPD.

Qingque FAQ

Is Qingque worth building?
For a 4-star she is a versatile DPS with very strong self-buffs. The downside is that she needs a lot of investment and burns through Skill Points. If you enjoy a planning-heavy playstyle, go ahead and build her. If you want an easy DPS for endgame, look elsewhere.
Can Qingque be played on Auto?
Not really. Her strength comes from you deciding how many times to draw and when to use her Ultimate, and leaving her on Auto wastes most of her potential.
Does Qingque need SPD?
It depends on the build. With Poet of Mourning Collapse or a Sparkle advancing her, she does not need any and can stay at base SPD. If you play her fast or use Firmament Frontline: Glamoth, aim for 135 or more.
What Light Cone should she use without a 5-star?
Geniuses' Repose is her best 4-star, as long as you can keep its on-kill buff active. The Day The Cosmos Fell also works, especially in Pure Fiction with lots of enemies.
Which Eidolons should I aim for?
E4 and E6 are the two most valuable. E4 gives a 24% chance after each Skill use for her Basic ATK or Enhanced Basic ATK to hit one more time, and E6 lets her Enhanced Basic ATK recover 1 Skill Point. With both, Qingque gets a lot stronger.
