What Combat Type is Qingque?

Qingque is a 4-star Quantum character on the Path of Erudition, from The Xianzhou Luofu, released in version 1.0.

What stat does Qingque scale on?

Qingque's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Skill and Ultimate, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best Light Cone for Qingque?

Flickering Stars is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star Erudition Light Cone with 635 base ATK at level 80, and its passive acts on ATK. A Dream Scented in Wheat is the best 4-star alternative.

Which Planar Ornament should Qingque use?

City of Converging Stars. Its 2-piece bonus is: When the wearer uses Follow-Up ATK, increases ATK by 24% for 2 turn(s). When an enemy target gets defeated, increases CRIT DMG for all allies by 12% in the current battle. This effect cannot stack. Planar Ornaments have no 4-piece bonus; the sphere and the rope are the whole set.

How much does it cost to max Qingque's traces?

Taking one ability from level 1 to 10 costs 522,000 Credits and 1× Tracks of Destiny among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

What does Qingque E1 do?

Rise Through the Tiles: Ultimate deals 10% more DMG.

CorePoet of Mourning Collapse

Specialist set intended for use on characters with kits that do not require Speed or that have other ways of accessing it in combat. On characters where this set is viable, the CRIT RATE buff is enough to offset the -8% Speed penalty and the sacrifice of building no Speed before battle. Qingque is most often played with a Hyperspeed Action advancer like Sparkle that makes any increases or decreases to Speed irrelevant. When played this way, Qingque can ignore the main downside of this set and reap huge rewards. This set is only useable and the best when playing Qingque this way!

2PCIncreases Quantum DMG by 10%.

4PCDecreases the wearer's SPD by 8%. Before entering battle, if the wearer's SPD is lower than 110/95, increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 20%/32%. This effect applies to the wearer's memosprite at the same time.
