Qingyi is a new S-Rank Electric agent who made her debut in Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.1. As a member of the Criminal Investigation Response Team, Qingyi is a powerful unit with a unique kit and playstyle, and she has a lot to offer.
To help you understand how she works, here’s the best Qingyi build in Zenless Zone Zero you can find.
Best Qingyi Zenless Zone Zero build
Qingyi a strong S-Rank Electric sub-DPS who mostly excels in quick-swap teams that require Stuns. Thanks to her unique and useful kit, Qingyi increases the Stun damage on her opponents, which makes her a valuable asset. If you’re looking for a strong hybrid sub-DPS with amazing Stun capabilities, Qingyi is one of the best characters you can get in ZZZ. However, just like with other characters, equipping Qingyi with proper W-Engines, Drive Discs, and Bangboos, and investing in the right Skills are all necessary for success.
Best Qingyi W-Engine
A powerful character becomes even stronger with a proper weapon, and since W-Engines are tools that agents in ZZZ use, giving Qingyi the best weapon you’ve got only makes her even more valuable. Since Qingyi’s an agent who excels in Stuns, giving her a W-engine with any type of utility is the way to go, and she has a ton of great options.
Here are the best W-Engines for Qingyi:
- Ice-Jade Teapot (S-Rank)
- Steam Oven (A-Rank)
- Hellfire Gears (S-Rank)
- Precious Fossilized Core (A-Rank)
Ice-Jade Teapot is a fantastic S-Rank utility weapon, and as Qingyi’s signature W-Engine, it’s logically her best in slot. This weapon offers everything she needs since it has decent Base Attack, and a bunch of Impact as a main stat. Its passive increases Qingyi’s Impact by an additional 21 percent and adds an extra 20 percent damage to other party members for 10 seconds, making this weapon perfect for Qingyi’s playstyle.
If you’re unlucky with your pulls, you can always settle with a great A-Rank alternative like Precious Fossilized Core or Steam Oven. Precious Fossilized Core offers Impact as the main stat and makes Qingyi inflict 10 percent more Daze damage to opponents, so it’s a solid option. Steam Oven is also a great choice because it gives her a bunch of Energy Regen and increases Qingyi’s Impact by 16 percent through its passive.
Best Qingyi Drive Discs
Once you find the right weapon for Qingyi, it’s time to give her the proper gear that increases her value even more, and that’s where Drive Discs come into play. Since Qingyi’s an agent that’s all about Daze and Stuns, all her options are very straightforward.
Here are the best Drive Discs for Qingyi:
- Shockstar Disco (four-piece)
- Swing Jazz (two-piece) or Thunder Metal (two-piece)
The four-piece Shockstar Disco is your top priority, since this set is tailored for Qingyi. It increases her Impact by six percent and inflicts 20 percent more Daze to opponents. For a winning combination, you can either go for more utility with the two-piece Swing Jazz or get an additional 10 percent Electric damage from the two-piece Thunder Metal.
Best Qingyi Drive Discs stats and substats
Good stats and substats make those Drive Discs shine, and this build wouldn’t be complete without them. As a hybrid sub-DPS that inflicts Stuns, but also deals damage, Qingyi wants a good mixture of both offensive and utility stats.
Here are the main stats you should target:
- Slot four: CRIT damage or CRIT Rate
- Slot five: ATK%
- Slot six: Impact
To make those main stats even better, aim for a balanced Crit ratio and stack a bunch of attack percent or Anomaly Proficiency as substats.
Best Qingyi Bangboo
For her little partner in crime, Qingyi has two solid options when it comes to Bangboos. Her best Bangboo is the A-Rank Electroboo that deals Electric damage and inflicts Electric Anomaly buildup, but an S-Rank Plugboo is also great if you want even more Anomaly buildup.
Best Qingyi Skills
Having a good weapon and decent gear isn’t enough. If you want the best Qingyi there is, then investing in her Skills is necessary.
Here are Qingyi Skills you should prioritize:
- Core
- Basic Attack
- Dodge
While you can level up her EX Special Attack for extra damage, Qingyi’s Core, Basic Attacks, and Dodge are your top priority, because they allow her to dish out Electric damage and inflict a bunch of Stuns on opponents, which is the main focus of her kit.
Best Qingyi Mindscapes
Although she’s a powerful S-Rank agent even without Mindscapes, if you really like the character, then getting one copy is a good stopping point. Mindscape one reduces the opponent’s defense and allows Qingyi to enter her Flash Connect state more quickly upon entering the field.
