Qiuyuan Build Guide

What to know before spending pulls

His full 600-point Soliloquy loop and both team buffs work at S0. Reach at least 65% displayed Crit Rate so Sundering Strike grants its maximum 30% team Crit DMG, then build Crit DMG, ATK, and Heavy Attack damage. Send his Outro directly to an Echo Skill damage dealer because the amplification ends when that character switches out.

Do you need the signature weapon?

Emerald Sentence is Qiuyuan's featured weapon. At level 90 it has 588 ATK and 24.3% Crit Rate. Echo Skills used after Intro or Basic Attacks build up to two 30% Heavy Attack DMG stacks, and Intro grants the team 20% Echo Skill DMG Bonus for 30 seconds. Emerald of Genesis has the same ATK and Crit Rate, adds 12.8% Energy Regen, and gains up to 12% ATK from two Skill casts. Emerald Sentence matches his enhanced Heavy Attacks and adds another team buff; Emerald of Genesis is a simpler existing option that helps fund Liberation.

Another character copy or the weapon?

S1 means Qiuyuan's first Resonance Chain upgrade. It gives him 20% Crit Rate and prevents interruption during To Teach, To Save, and To Sacrifice. The extra Crit Rate makes the 65% team-buff target much easier to reach. Emerald Sentence instead supplies 24.3% Crit Rate, personal Heavy Attack damage, and 20% team Echo Skill damage after Intro. Both help the Crit requirement, but S1 adds execution safety while the weapon adds team and personal damage to the existing sequence.

Advice for your account

Easy rotation

Enter with Intro to gain 400 Swordster's Soliloquy and activate Bamboo's Shade. Press Normal Attack during the follow-up window to start Thus Spoke the Blade: Inkwash at Stage 3, then complete Stage 4. Those two hits add 200 more Soliloquy and reach the 600-point cap, starting the eight-second Inksplash of Mind state. Hold Normal Attack through To Teach, To Save, and To Sacrifice before the state expires. The final hit restores 30 Concerto Energy while Quietude Within is active. Cast Sundering Strike for the team Crit DMG buff, finish Concerto if needed, then Outro directly to the Echo Skill damage dealer.

Opening vs. repeat cycles

Intro is the fast setup because it grants 400 Soliloquy and routes directly into Inkwash Stage 3. Without Intro, Basic Attack Stage 3 and each enhanced Inkwash stage grant only 100, so reaching 600 takes longer. Soliloquy is cleared when Inksplash of Mind ends, whether the points were spent successfully or the eight-second window expired.

Why this skill priority

Forte Circuit leads because Soliloquy, Bamboo's Shade, Inksplash of Mind, and the three enhanced Heavy Attacks define both his personal damage and team Echo Skill bonus. Liberation follows for its damage and Crit Rate-scaled team Crit DMG. Basic Attack contains the Inkwash route used to finish the meter after Intro.

Required buffs and assumptions

The fast cycle assumes Intro is available and its Normal Attack follow-up is used before the input window closes. Quietude Within can trigger once every 22 seconds and ends if Qiuyuan switches out, so complete all three enhanced Heavy Attacks before leaving. Outro must go to the intended Echo Skill carry and ends if that character switches.

Energy Regen target

No minimum Energy Regen target is listed in the current build data. Emerald of Genesis and Endless Collapse can help fund Sundering Strike, but the more explicit gearing requirement is at least 65% Crit Rate for its full 30% team Crit DMG buff.
