  • Qingyi Yanagi Overview

Qingyi is an S-Rank Electric Stun Agent from the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team who dominates the battlefield with high-frequency Daze application and elite team-wide damage amping. Unlike traditional Stun units who focus purely on filling the Daze meter, Qingyi acts as a premier "burst enhancer" for the squad, providing unparalleled stun efficiency while significantly boosting the damage output of her allies through a unique multiplier. Her kit revolves around the Flash Connect Voltage system; she builds energy through rhythmic attacks to enter the Flash Connect state to unleash rapid, multi-hit rush strikes.

While maintaining relentless pressure on the field, Qingyi can cycle her rhythmic Basic Attacks—specifically extending her 3rd-hit combo—to maximize her Voltage accumulation. Qingyi can manually trigger her signature Subjugation stacks by holding her Basic Attack to activate Enchanted Moonlit Blossoms during her Flash Connect state. Landing this multi-hit sequence on an enemy applies a potent burst of Daze and stacks a specialized Stun DMG Multiplier that scales based on her Impact. This ensures that even the most resilient bosses remain vulnerable to the team's concentrated burst damage windows once they are stunned.

Her additional Core ability is activated when Qingyi is paired with another Attack Agent or a member of the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team. When active, her presence grants the team increased Daze efficiency and grants her a significant ATK bonus based on her total Impact. This utility is further enhanced if Qingyi’s Impact stat is high, making Impact her most vital stat for both stun speed and the scaling of her damage-amping potential. Using Qingyi’s Chain Attack or Ultimate delivers a thunderous, lightning-infused strike that deals heavy Electric DMG while scaling its power directly with the number of Subjugation stacks applied to the target.

Qingyi gets the most value from her Core Skill, as it directly scales her Impact and dictates the massive damage multipliers for her Subjugation debuff. Afterward, you should focus heavily on her Basic Attack, which is her primary tool for building Flash Connect Voltage and maintaining relentless Daze pressure through her extended rhythmic combos.

Unlike many other agents, her Dodge holds higher value because triggering a Perfect Dodge during her Finishing Strike allows her to instantly maximize her Subjugation stacks, drastically speeding up her damage-amping potential. Because Qingyi is a rhythmic combo stunner, you’ll be spending most of your time actively managing her Voltage meter and timing her multi-hit sequences to keep the enemy in a constant state of vulnerability.

Qingyi Best W-Engines

As a Stun Agent who thrives on rhythmic aggression and sustained on-field pressure, Qingyi requires a weapon that scales directly with her Impact to maximize her daze efficiency and the scaling of her Subjugation multiplier. Since her kit revolves around constant rhythmic combos and the rapid building of Flash Connect Voltage, you should prioritize gear that offers high base stats in Impact and Daze Buildup Rate. Weapons that grant passive bonuses to Basic Attack DMG or provide stacking buffs upon using Basic Attacks are particularly effective, as they align perfectly with her core combat loop of weaving extended multi-hit chains into her gameplay. While options that enhance Energy Generation or Electric DMG are decent for general utility, focusing on Impact remains the most vital strategy if you wish to unlock her full potential as a premier "Daze" powerhouse.

Qingyi Best Disk Drives Sets

The 4-Piece King of the Summit set stands as the most suitable and safest option for Qingyi, particularly when utilizing her in high-multiplier burst teams through standard gameplay and rhythmic combos. While alternative sets like Astral Voice or Proto Punk are viable, they often demand more specialized or difficult playstyles to achieve the same consistency in team-wide damage amplification. To maximize her potential, this set is best paired with a 2-Piece Shockstar Disco for a critical boost to Impact or Swing Jazz to enhance her Energy Regen for more frequent EX Special Attacks.

Qingyi Best Teams

When choosing the best team for Qingyi, your primary goal is to activate her Additional Core Skill, which requires pairing her with at least one teammate who belongs to the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team faction or shares the Attack specialty. Beyond this technical requirement, you should look for teammates who can capitalize on her rapid daze application; Qingyi’s specialized Subjugation mechanic allows her to apply a massive Stun DMG Multiplier that amplifies all incoming damage without ending the stun window, effectively increasing your team’s total burst damage efficiency.

Additionally, because Qingyi functions as a technical on-field Stunner, she benefits immensely from supports who provide PEN Ratio or Electric DMG buffs. This opens up the third slot for a dedicated Support like Nicole to layer more offensive utility through grouping and defense shred, or a Defense agent like Caesar to provide anti-interrupt protection during her long, rhythmic basic attack chains. Ultimately, the best squad for her is one that values high-frequency stun-and-burst rotations and can capitalize on the massive damage multiplier she triggers through her voltage-management mastery.
