Tosses 1 jade tile of the suit with the fewest tiles in hand to deal Quantum DMG equal to 100% of Qingque's ATK to a single enemy. Low priority. Skill usage is almost always preferable, but this recovers SP unlike the Enhanced version.

A Scoop of Moon
Immediately draws 2 jade tiles and increases DMG by 28% until the end of the current turn. This effect can stack up to 4 times (for up to 152% total with A4). The turn does not end after using this Skill, allowing repeated draws. Core of the gameplay loop: cycle tiles to reach Hidden Hand.

A Quartet? Woo-hoo!
Costs 140 Energy. Deals Quantum DMG equal to 200% of Qingque's ATK to all enemies, and immediately obtains 4 jade tiles of the same suit, guaranteeing the next Enhanced Basic Attack. Strategically bridges bad RNG tile draws, and the guaranteed Enhanced Basic inherits all Skill DMG stacks.

When any ally's turn starts, Qingque randomly draws 1 tile from 3 different suits (holding up to 4). If she starts her turn with 4 tiles of the same suit, she enters Hidden Hand: ATK increases by 72%, Skill is locked, and Basic ATK becomes the Enhanced "Cherry on Top!" until used. This is the engine that makes her damage massive.

Best Light Cones
#1
Yet Hope Is Priceless
Best-in-slot for Qingque. Provides CRIT Rate, allows Ultimate and follow-up DMG to ignore a portion of enemy DEF after Basic ATK use, and scales follow-up attack DMG with CRIT DMG. Perfectly fits her Enhanced Basic Attack playstyle.
#2
Night on the Milky Way
Strong 5-star option. ATK% stacks per enemy on field (up to 5 stacks) and a 50% DMG increase when an enemy is weakness broken. Best when fighting 3 targets simultaneously.
#3
Geniuses' Repose
Excellent accessible option at S5. ATK% boost plus a large CRIT DMG increase after defeating an enemy. Assumes near-constant uptime on the kill buff in endgame encounters.
#4
Today Is Another Peaceful Day
F2P Battle Pass pick. Scales DMG based on Max Energy; Qingque's 140-cost Ultimate means a solid 56% DMG bonus at S5. Most-used cone in practice due to availability.
#5
Before Dawn
Provides CRIT DMG and boosts Skill and Ultimate DMG. Synergizes with her damage stacking, though the follow-up trigger requires specific conditions that Qingque doesn't naturally provide.
#6
The Seriousness of Breakfast
Budget 4-star option. DMG% increase plus stacking ATK% on kills. Lower floor than Geniuses' Repose but obtainable from Echo of War with no luck required.
Best Relics
Cavern Sets
1
Genius of Brilliant Stars
Her best-in-slot cavern set in most situations. 2-piece gives 10% Quantum DMG. 4-piece ignores 10% DEF on hit, plus an extra 10% DEF ignore if the target has Quantum Weakness, effectively up to 20% DEF ignore for free in a Mono-Quantum team. Used by 100% of tracked players.
2
Poet of Mourning Collapse
Specialist set for Hyperspeed Sparkle teams. Reduces wearer's SPD by 8% before battle, but grants up to 32% CRIT Rate if SPD is below 95. When Sparkle provides action advances, Qingque's own speed is irrelevant, making this a massive CRIT Rate bonus with no downside in this specific setup.
3
Scholar Lost in Erudition
Viable alternative providing CRIT Rate (2pc) and boosting Skill and Ultimate DMG by 20% (4pc), with an additional 25% Skill DMG after using Ultimate. Competitive if Genius pieces are poorly rolled on substats.
4
⊕
2-piece Flex Mix
Mix and match 2-piece bonuses from: Genius of Brilliant Stars (+10% Quantum DMG), Musketeer of Wild Wheat (+10% ATK, +6% SPD), Prisoner in Deep Confinement (+12% ATK), or The Wind-Soaring Valorous (+12% ATK). Use whichever combination produces the best total substat value.
Planar Ornament Sets
1
Rutilant Arena
Provides 8% CRIT Rate, and when CRIT Rate reaches 70% or higher, Basic ATK and Skill DMG increase by 20%. Qingque's Enhanced Basic is her main damage source, making this set's activation condition very impactful. Strong default choice.
2
Tengoku@Livestream
Grants 16% CRIT DMG, and if 3 or more Skill Points are consumed in the same turn, an additional 32% CRIT DMG for 3 turns. Qingque's multi-Skill draws burn SP rapidly, making this a dedicated CRIT DMG option when she's spending aggressively.
3
Firmament Frontline: Glamoth
ATK% plus a DMG bonus when Speed reaches 135 or 160. Viable if you're building for a Speed playstyle rather than the Sparkle Hyperspeed setup.
4
Inert Salsotto
8% CRIT Rate and a 15% Ultimate DMG bonus when CRIT Rate reaches 50% or higher. Decent fallback option, especially when pairing Ultimate usage with stacked Skill DMG bonuses.
Best Teams for Qingque
Qingque is extremely Skill Point hungry. Her best teams revolve around Sparkle for SP generation and a dedicated sustain. Mono-Quantum compositions with Silver Wolf provide additional free DEF shred through the Genius relic set.
01 · Mono-Quantum Premium
Best-in-slot composition
Sparkle generates SP and provides Quantum DMG% bonus from her trace while also advancing Qingque's action. Silver Wolf implants Quantum weakness on any enemy for bonus DEF shred from the Genius relic set. Fu Xuan provides CRIT Rate% from her Skill and completes the Mono-Quantum count check.
02 · Sunday Variant
High damage with action advance
Qingque
Main DPS
Harmony / SP Gen
Harmony / Action Advance
Sustain / Shield
Sunday provides additional action advance and DMG% buff. Dan Heng (Permansor Terrae) sustains the team while funneling all SP into Qingque and providing ATK buffs. This team consistently appeared in endgame data with a 99.83% appearance rate for Sparkle and Sunday together.
03 · F2P Accessible
No limited 5-stars required
Bronya is a permanent 5-star who provides action advances similar to Sparkle, though without the SP generation. Silver Wolf provides strong DEF shred. Natasha offers free healing for sustainable endgame runs at zero warp investment.

Sleep on the Tiles
Every time Draw Tile is triggered, Qingque immediately regenerates 1 Energy. Since allies draw tiles at the start of each their turns, this provides passive energy regen throughout the fight, helping offset her extremely high 140-cost Ultimate.

Right on the Tiles
After using the Skill, there is a 24% fixed chance to gain Autarky until end of the current turn. With Autarky, Basic ATK or Enhanced Basic ATK immediately launches 1 follow-up attack on the same target for 100% of the previous hit's DMG. This phantom follow-up also inherits her full damage bonus stack, a significant multiplier when activated.

Prevail Beyond the Tiles
Recovers 1 Skill Point after using Enhanced Basic ATK. This fundamentally changes her SP economy: instead of being purely SP negative, her rotation becomes SP neutral and even SP positive in favorable tile draws. Combined with E4's follow-up attacks, Qingque at E6 can achieve zero-cycle Memory of Chaos clears. Simulation data shows a 59% total damage increase from E0 to E6.

Ascension 2
Restores 1 Skill Point when using the Skill. This effect can only be triggered 1 time per battle. A small head-start on SP recovery at the beginning of each fight, nothing transformative, but appreciated as early investment in a SP-hungry kit.
Bide Time
Ascension 4
Using the Skill increases DMG Boost effect of attacks by an extra 10%. This is per Skill usage: at 4 stacks this provides an additional 40% DMG bonus on top of the Skill's base 28% per stack. At max Trace level, 4 Skill uses grant 152% total bonus DMG. This trace is the primary reason Qingque's damage ceiling is so high.
Winning Hand
Ascension 6
Qingque's SPD increases by 10% for 1 turn after using the Enhanced Basic ATK. Helps her take follow-up actions sooner after her big hit, recovering more tiles and energy. Less impactful in Sparkle Hyperspeed setups where action speed is externally managed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yet Hope Is Priceless is her best-in-slot when available. F2P players should use Today Is Another Peaceful Day from the Battle Pass, which at S5 provides a 56% DMG bonus thanks to Qingque's 140-cost Ultimate. Geniuses' Repose at S5 is another strong accessible option if you can maintain the on-kill CRIT DMG buff.
Each time any ally's turn starts, Qingque randomly draws 1 tile from 3 possible suits. She can hold up to 4 tiles. If she starts her turn with 4 tiles of the same suit, she enters Hidden Hand, gaining 72% ATK and converting her Basic ATK to the Enhanced "Cherry on Top!" blast. Her Skill draws 2 additional tiles and grants 28% DMG per use (up to 4 stacks), allowing you to manually cycle tiles to reach a match faster. Her Ultimate guarantees 4 matching tiles immediately.
In practice, less than it appears. You should only use her Skill up to 4 times per rotation since the DMG% bonus caps at 4 stacks. If you reach 4 Skill uses without matching tiles, use her Ultimate to guarantee the Enhanced Basic immediately, and that Enhanced Basic will still have all the stacked DMG% bonuses from your Skills applied to it. The key insight is that Qingque's Skill is an Extra Action, so using Ultimate while her Skill bonuses are active means both the Ultimate and the guaranteed next Enhanced Basic inherit those bonuses. Once you understand this loop, RNG becomes far less of an obstacle.
Sparkle is Qingque's strongest support but not strictly required. Sparkle solves Qingque's two biggest weaknesses simultaneously: SP generation (Qingque burns 3–4 SP per rotation) and action management (Hyperspeed Sparkle advances Qingque's actions). Bronya is a solid free alternative providing action advance, though without the SP generation. Characters like Tingyun provide energy battery support instead, addressing the Ultimate cost issue.
It depends on your team. In a Hyperspeed Sparkle team, Qingque's own speed is largely irrelevant since Sparkle provides action advances, so you can build minimal speed and focus entirely on CRIT and ATK stats. In other teams, aim for 134+ SPD for efficient action economy. Data shows most players run her at around 107 SPD average, relying on supports to manage her turn order.
E2 is the most impactful early eidolon, passively generating energy each time tiles are drawn to offset her 140-cost Ultimate. E4 adds a 24% chance for a phantom follow-up after any Basic attack, potentially doubling her big Enhanced Basic hits. E6 is transformative: recovering 1 SP per Enhanced Basic ATK makes her SP economy manageable without Sparkle and enables zero-cycle clears in endgame content. As a 4-star, her eidolons are significantly cheaper to obtain than 5-star constellations.
