How to play Qingxiao
An Aero Sword main DPS. Basic Attacks and her Resonance Skill fill two Forte Gauges; at full she shifts into Ephemeral Transcendence, where enhanced Basic Attacks and Dodge Counters build toward Heaven's Reckoning, her finisher.
Teammates feed her damage directly: anything inflicting Tune Strain - Interfered stacks Mindlock on the target, up to 15, amplifying her major attacks by as much as 65%.
The loop is simple: build the gauges, land the finisher, then cast Resonance Liberation right after, drawing on the Mindlock already built and doubling her gauge gain for the next pass.
Qingxiao’s best teams
Qingxiao Hypercarry · Denia
Qingxiao (Main DPS), Denia (Sub-DPS), Mornye (Support)
The best Qingxiao Hypercarry.
Denia plays Sub-DPS, Qingxiao plays Main DPS. Different jobs, no shared window.
Qingxiao's ideal Support: the one Support made for Tune Strain, so it lands faster and her buffs pay off on it.

With Baizhi (4★) in Mornye’s seat: about 1.9M per rotation.
Qingxiao Hypercarry · Lynae
Qingxiao (Main DPS), Lynae (Sub-DPS), Mornye or Shorekeeper (Support)
A solid Qingxiao Hypercarry.
Lynae feeds Resonance Liberation DMG, and that’s what Qingxiao scales on.
Qingxiao's ideal Support: the one Support made for Tune Strain, so it lands faster and her buffs pay off on it.
On the numbers, about 2.6M per rotation.
