Qingyi Agent Guide - Playstyle Analysis, Team Building & Bangboo Recommendations

Qingyi Playstyle Analysis

Qingyi is an S Rank Stun Archetype Agent that deals Electric Elemental damage to enemies with her abilities.

Qingyi’s main gameplay seems to revolve around her normal attacks which change states depending on the amount of special ability stacks that she has. After attacking with her normal attacks, players can hold her normal attack to have her enter a continuous attacking state, granting her special Flashover Voltage stacks and make her attacks deal enhanced Electric damage to enemies and raise their Daze gauge even further.

Qingyi’s Special Attack allows her to dash forward and launch a downward attack dealing Electric Damage to enemies, when she accumulates enough energy, this skill will turn into her EX special skill which enhances the Electric Damage she deals with.

Qingyi’s Chain Attack allows her to switch onto the battlefield and deal a massively powerful instance of Electric Damage to enemies. When the team’s decibel meter reaches max, she can unleash her Ultimate, dealing an even more powerful instance of Electric damage to enemies. 

Finally, Qingyi’s Core passive allows her to apply a special “Bind” debuff on enemies when hitting enemies with her enhanced normal attacks, making them take more Daze damage, stacking up to 20 stacks of the debuffs.

Qingyi Team Recommendations

As Qingyi is an Electric damage Main DPS, the best team with Qingyi is as followed:

The main team with Qingyi is the Electric Elemental damage team, with Qingyi being the main DPS or sub Stun DPS option and Alexandrina being the main support Agent in the team to boost the team’s Electric damage output. The main DPS and other sub DPS slots can be flexible for Agents such as Grace Howard (for more Anomaly Damage), Anton (as main Electric DPS) or Seth (for overall decent damage output).

The best Bangboo to go with Qingyi in this team is Plugboo (S Rank), but players can supplement Resonaboo with Electroboo (A Rank) as a budget option.

A secondary option for Qingyi team is the special Public Security team composition, revolving around Qingyi as the Stun Damage Support Agent for other Public Security Agents as main DPS like Zhu Yuan, in this team, Qingyi’s main goal is to quickly raise the enemies’ stun gauge as quickly as possible to allow Zhu Yuan to deal extra damage thanks to her ability to deal more damage against stunned enemies. For Support option, this team favor Nicole Demara as the support Agent to not only help boost the overall damage of the team by buffing Zhu Yuan and Qingyi damage output, her ability to crowd control will also prove invaluable to group up enemies, allowing Qingyi to quickly raise all of their Daze gauge all at once.

The best Bangboo to go with Qingyi in this team is Officer Cui (S Rank) for Public Security affinity buffs, but players can supplement Resonaboo with Other Bangboo like Resonaboo (S Rank) or Devilboo (A Rank) as alternative options.
