How to play Qiuyuan
An Aero sub-DPS whose job is Echo Skill DMG, both his own and the team's.
He raises what the rest of the line-up gets out of Echo Skills while contributing solid damage himself, and his Concerto generation is fast enough that he rarely holds up a rotation.
That combination is what turns him from a damage seat into a support one: in an Echo team he is closer to a buffer that happens to hit hard.
