How to play Taoqi

A 4-star Havoc Support and survival unit whose numbers all read off DEF: her Strategic Parry, her enhanced Basic Attack DMG, her shield strength and her Resonance Liberation DMG.

The loop is Intro Skill, three enhanced Basic Attacks, then Resonance Skill and Resonance Liberation for 3 stacks of Rocksteady Shield, spent by a full Basic Attack combo that fills the Forte Gauge. Her Outro Skill hands the next character Resonance Skill DMG, which is what keeps her behind Carlotta and Changli.

Taoqi’s best teams

Carlotta (Main DPS), Taoqi (Sub-DPS), Shorekeeper or Verina (Support)

Taoqi feeds Heavy Attack DMG, and that’s what Carlotta scales on.

Shorekeeper puts Crit and ATK on top of everything, and heals.

On the numbers, about 1.2M per rotation.

With Verina: about 1.0M.

With Buling (4★) in Shorekeeper’s seat: about 1.1M per rotation.

Jinhsi Nuke Team

Jinhsi (Main DPS), Taoqi (Sub-DPS), Verina (Support)

A Jinhsi Nuke Team.
