Operational Analysis

Qiuyuan is a specialized Aero Sub-DPS/Buffer who essentially enables the Echo Skill DMG archetype. He provides massive buffs to Echo Skill DMG for teammates, making him the best partner for characters like Galbrena and Phrolova. His Forte Gauge, Swordster's Soliloquy, is filled by his Intro and Basic Attacks. Using his Forte Heavy Attack consumes the gauge to deal DMG and restore Concerto. His Liberation grants Crit DMG to the team based on his own Crit Rate (Requires >65% Crit Rate).

Advantages

  • ▲Echo Skill Enabler: Massive buffs for Echo Skill DMG (Rare niche).
  • ▲Quick Rotation: Very fast field time, perfect for Quick Swap.
  • ▲Team Crit DMG Buff: Liberation provides up to 30% Crit DMG to active character.
  • ▲Easy to Build: Does not strictly require Signature Weapon (Standard/4-stars work well).

Risks

  • ▼Niche Utility: Only truly shines with Galbrena or Phrolova (Echo Skill DPS).
  • ▼Low Personal DMG: At S0, his own damage is negligible; S3+ unlocks DPS potential.
  • ▼Interruptible: Forte Heavy Attacks can be interrupted at S0.
