Qiuyuan Gameplay and Playstyle

Qiuyuan is a 5★ Aero Sword Sub DPS who also provides valuable buffs to his teammates. In his usual state, Qiuyuan accumulates Swordster's Soliloquy through Basic Attack and Dodge Counter.

Besides, his Resonance Liberation can increase the Crit. DMG of all Resonators in the team. And his outro skill can grant 50% Echo Skill DMG Amplification to the incoming Resonator, making him a formidable support for certain teams.

Qiuyuan Best Weapons

As a Sub-DPS character, Qiuyuan’s support abilities do not rely heavily on his stats but are instead tied to his skills. Therefore, when choosing a weapon for him, it’s best to prioritize options that enhance his personal damage. Below are some recommended weapons:

Qiuyuan Best Echo Sets

To optimize both Qiuyuan’s support capabilities and individual damage output, the Law of Harmony Echo set stands as the premier choice. It enhances his Heavy Attack DMG while simultaneously providing an Echo Skill Bonus to teammates, thereby improving overall team performance. Players who primarily intend to maximize Qiuyuan’s supportive function should consider Moonlit Clouds as the most effective option. Conversely, those seeking to elevate his personal DPS may select Sierra Gale, which remains a compelling alternative for offense-focused builds.

Qiuyuan Best Teams Comps

As a dedicated support for Echo-focused teams, Qiuyuan grants 50% Echo Skill DMG Amplification, up to 30%Crit. DMG increse, andthree Echo Skill activations. This makes him a strong partner for Echo-damage characters like Sigrika, Galbrena, and Phrolova.

However, since the buff only applies to the on-field character, his benefit for Phrolova is somewhat limited because she leaves the field after casting her Resonance Liberation. Still, his three Echo Skill activations can help her build stacks, making him a workable option.

In addition to supporting other characters, Qiuyuan can also serve as the main DPS in Hypercarry teams.
