Operational Analysis

Taoqi is a 4-star Havoc Broadblade user who serves as a Defensive Support and Skill DMG Buffer. She provides shields, damage reduction, and a massive 38% Resonance Skill DMG Deepen buff through her Outro Skill, making her a niche but powerful support for Skill-based DPS characters like Jinhsi and Danjin (and historically, Havoc Rover). However, her slow animations, reliance on getting hit for counters, and long field time make her clunky to play in optimal rotations. She excels in providing comfortable sustain for players who want a tankier team or maximizing "Damage Per Screenshot" numbers.

Advantages

  • ▲Massive Skill Buff: 38% Resonance Skill Deepen is unmatched for specific DPS.
  • ▲Tanky: Provides shields and damage reduction, increasing team survivability.
  • ▲F2P Friendly: Scales off DEF and uses a 4-star craftable weapon as BiS.

Risks

  • ▼Slow: Extremely slow animations and field time requirements.
  • ▼Clunky: 'Strategic Parry' requires getting hit or perfect timing.
  • ▼Low Personal DMG: Even with DEF scaling, her damage is negligible.
