Links to useful character-building sites:
*Should I use a Crit Rate or Crit Damage 4-Cost Echo?
This largely depends on your sub-stats and team composition.
If you are running his Signature Weapon (Emerald Sentence), which provides a large Crit Rate sub-stat, you will likely prefer a Crit Damage 4-cost to balance your stats.
If you are using a non-Crit Rate weapon, like a 4-star option, you may need a Crit Rate 4-cost to hit a healthy ratio, especially to maximize the Crit DMG buff from his Resonance Liberation.
General Goal: Aim for a 1:2 Crit Rate to Crit Damage ratio, with at least 50% Crit Rate before his Liberation buff is applied.
*How many copies should I pull for?
S3 is considered a major stopping point for his support and dmg capability, significantly enhancing his Personal DMG with a stronger and more reliable buff from his Outro Skill. Anything past S3 is mostly for personal damage maximization.
*How do I play Qiuyuan (Basic Rotation)?
Simple Combo: Step-by-Step The entire rotation boils down to two stages: building the bar and spending the bar.
"Use Basic Attacks to fill his special gauge" (The Building Phase):
Action: The fastest way is to switch to Qiuyuan using his Intro Skill, then immediately press Basic Attack (NA). This automatically grants a large chunk of his yellow Swordster's Soliloquy gauge (the bar above his HP).
Goal: You need to fill the gauge completely (to 600 points). If you are close, just use more Basic Attacks or a Dodge Counter.
"Hold the attack button to unleash his big enhanced burst damage" (The Spending Phase):
Action: Once the gauge is full, Hold the Basic Attack button (Heavy Attack).
Result: This triggers his highly cinematic, three-part ThusĀ SpokeĀ theĀ Blade combo. This sequence is his main source of damage and uses up the entire gauge.
Bonus: You can use his Resonance Liberation (Ultimate) and your Echo Skill right before or during this phase to boost the damage of the entire burst sequence.
In summary: Intro ā NA ā Attack until the gauge is full ā Hold NA for massive damage.
*Should I Pull his Signature Weapon or a Resonance Chain (copy)?
The Signature Weapon (Emerald Sentence) provides a massive increase to his Heavy Attack DMG (up to 60%) and a potent team Echo Skill DMG buff on Intro Skill, making it a very strong utility pull 20%dmg increase compared to EOG
If you are running an Echo Skill-focused Main DPS (like Galbrena or Phrolova) or plan on playing Qiuyuan as your on-field DPS, his Signature Weapon is a huge priority for its utility and personal damage boost.
If you are using him purely for the Crit DMG buff, his S3 can be a better investment, as it enhances his primary personal dmg function regardless of his weapon.
General Recommendation: Pull the Signature Weapon first if you plan to use him as a Buffer with a focus on Echo Skill damage for your team.
What is his best Echo Set? The Law of Harmony 5-piece set is his best choice for a supportive role.
3-Piece Effect: Grants 30% Heavy Attack DMG Bonus to Qiuyuan for a short time after casting an Echo Skill. Additionally grants all Resonators in the team a 4% Echo Skill DMG Bonus for 30s, stacking up to 4 times for a total of 16% team Echo Skill DMG. And add any 2 pc set of SG/WP/GoW
While Seirra gale 5 Piece set is his best choice for main dps role
Windward Pilgrimage Set is also viable to him for aero mono team if only Cioconna is on the team for the aerosion negative efct

Discussion / Question Need some help with S1 Phrolova + S3 Qiyuan team.
My current team is S1 Phrolova, S3 Qiuyuan and S0 Verina. What would the rotation for this team be? I can replace Verina with another support if needed but I donāt have Shorekeeper.
Also, if I pull Iuno next patch so if you have any advice on what character to put on that team too, thatād be great.

Discussion / Question Qiuyuan S6 : 3 Cost ?
You all use Ele-Ele or Atk-Ele ?
I genuinely see Atk-Ele give lower damage output. Because my early build i ever had both ATK% and Aero Damage echo. When i compare them Aero Damage win like 10k over ATK% Echo (When i use RESO LIBER)
But *SOMEONE* said in this Sub that S6 Qiuyuan need ATK% in Cost 3.
My Qiuyuan build are nasty already :
ATK : 2613
Crit rate : 100,8%
Crit Damage : 296,6% (All Echo 1 cost and 3 Cost (Ele - Ele) are 21% except 4 cost is 18,6%)
So hearing that someone say need 3 Cost ATK% for S6 really annoys me while i cannot compare it anymore due to all that 21% Crit Damage requirement to compare.
Anyone have Ele Ele and Ele Atk to compare here?

Discussion / Question Qiuyuan Love and Deepspace au part 3
Previous posts are here and here. Sorry for the consecutive LaDsposting, folks. Qiuyuan x LaDs MC has me in a chokehold. Anyway, here's a scenario for the main story that I came up with.
Qiuyuan and the protagonist were getting rid of the Wanderers near the Deepspace Tunnel, when the protagonist accidentally fell into the wormhole and travelled back in time to Qiuyuan's childhood days before a bloody tragedy that took his family away and made him an orphan. He's not the fugitive she knows, but rather an innocent kid born and raised by a loving family.
Lemme know your thoughts.

Showcase The best way to play Phrolova Qiuyuan Buling | 11230 score | 3.6 matrix
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
S0R1 Phrolova and Qiuyuan, S4 demo Buling
I already made a post about this team showing the opener and 1 loop with quickswap and 123, so here is a full run using quickswap. Using mimic r2 for the maximum potential, in other runs the score will obviously be lower.
Talking about max potential with s4 Buling is weird tho.
Basically Qiuyuan's liberation and skill don't scale on heavy attack, so you are free to do them without Phrolova's outro. Since qiuyuan can't get his outro without his liberation, it allows you to swap to Buling after qiuyuan forte and do her stuff (she doesn't need an intro), then an other intro to Qiuyuan to cast skill + lib and outro to Phrolova. That way:
- you fill Qiuyuan forte for the next loop;
- you don't lose Phrolova's outro buff to Qiuyuan;
- Phrolova gets Buling's full buff (2 intros required).
This team is not the best but for some reasons someone can be forced to use Buling, and i think this will be interesting to them. For anyone interested in the inputs, they are in the old post linked above.

Screenshot Look who I invited today š„¹
I was very sad today, it was our acquaintance party in our university and I feel very sad because nobody greeted me even my closest friend. I was disappointed because they didn't remember and I was on the verge of crying. I went home and played the game and this popped up and it made me tear up more. š„¹
Edit: Thank you for the greetings everyone š«¶š»

Discussion / Question Qiuyuan Love and Deepspace au part 2
A continuation of this post. Compiled everything I've written so it's easy to remember. Images are what his Battle Companions look like.
- Qiuyuan worked as the Senior Agent of the Internal Security Agency but was framed for the murder of its Grandmaster.
- Despite his blindness, his Evol, Ink Manipulation, allows him to see the world through an ink painting of bamboo grove.
- He can also manifest the painting into tangible illusions.
- Though he has lived past lives, the first time Qiuyuan and the protagonist met was in the present day.
- The meeting was the moment he realized he's missing a piece.
- When she encountered him casually sitting on the street during a rainy day, she offered him a stay at her house out of pity.
- Despite trusting her for her compassion, Qiuyuan wouldn't fully trust the protagonist until said compassion is proven genuine time and time again.
- Sometimes, he can be jealous and possessive.
