This is one of the best character guides I've ever watched, I think. "Should I pull for X and Y" is what people want to know first and foremost, and you answered that right from the get go. Following up with how she feels to play and her general mechanics is great, because that's an important consideration that people can't weigh by just looking at her numbers and skill descriptions. Finally, if the viewer is sold on her, you then delve into the nitty gritty of her kit, demonstrating how to play her more effectively. It's refreshing how you tackled her kit, only introducing parts of it when it's relevant. At no point did I feel like I was getting bombarded with stuff I don't care about at the moment, and because what's being covered goes beyond "what's her best weapon or disk set", the video felt very dense with useful information. You even considered details like Qingyi's M1 DEF Reduction going well with Nicole's, or how Ellen making good use of on-field time out of stun can conflict with Qingyi's gameplan, thus making Lycaon more preferable for her specifically. It's just such a well-rounded, well-paced, and well-structured guide, and I'd like to say thank you for taking your time making this, it turned out great.

Under the cherry blossoms, Qingyi is not really a stranger 🌸

You're the first CC I've seen that mentions being able to assist out while used enhanced basic and still getting the full stacks. I had been testing this out when I had first pulled her, and I have a few thoughts on it.

First, the positives. It works with both evasive and defensive assists. Not really surprising, but something people might be worried about. It's also nice because you can get some good secondary effects - most characters can contribute a hefty amount of daze or a solid chunk of damage with their perfect assists. In the case of Zhu Yuan, you also get +3 bullets which can help her ammo management a lot. In the case of nicole, you get to apply her passive, which can both lower defense (helping to both improve Qing Yis personal damage or Zhu Yuans chain attack if it is right before the break), as well as trigger her signature weapons passives if you have it. It also actually makes triggering the dodge itself easy, because you really don't do anything extra from your normal perfect assist. When I first tried to see if it worked or not, I was worried that you would have to let go first to proc the dodge portion followed by the assist input, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that you could just keep basic held down and press the corresponding assist.

Now, the downsides, as there are some. Most perfect assists come with quite a strong chunk of daze with them, and while in most cases that is a welcome thing, it can actually be a negative depending on the boss. Qing Yis biggest strength is her stun multiplier, and you need to do use her enhanced basic twice for full effect on bosses. Against those with big stun bars, that isn't an issue and the assist daze is a welcome thing. Some bosses, however, have a pretty small stun bar that can put you in a very weird spot where that extra daze makes it difficult to fit in a second enhanced basic before the stun goes off. The boss that loves to teleport is a good example of this - its annoying to hit, but actually very quick to stun, sometimes too quick for Qing Yi.

Another issue depends on the character you are assisting with. All perfect assists take different amounts of time, and you cannoy swap back to a character performing an animation before they finish and disappear from the field. Doing this with Nicole, for example, will result in an animation long enough for Qing Yi to finish her animation and disappear, letting you immediately swap back to her. With Zhu Yuan, however, her assist and followup is actually short enough to where you cannot switch back to Qing Yi immediately - if you do, you'll instead find yourself swapping to Nicole, and you need to wait a second after Zhu Yuans assist followup to go back to stunning. You can somewhat circumvent this by releasing Qing Yis enhanced early with proper timing and then perdect assisting, but that requires slightly more skill/brain power than just holding down the button and slamming the assist.

Personally, I really like the animation and flow of the attack, so I just stay on Qing Yi lol. Don't really care if it is optimal or not.

Just tried Jane Doe in the story mode. I feel that devs cooked so well with these 2 character in this version, goddeym. They are so fun to play and give so much satisfaction vibes, loved it. Oh and love ur pressence too, in zzz community ❤

[Kryesh]

Thanks for all of your hard work..! super in-depth, really informative video that really goes into the nitty gritty details of the character's kit (some of which i might never have otherwise figured out on my own even with a veryy longgg time playing thankss for the detailed testing ) and honestly really highlights some of the great things / passion points about ZZZ at the same time with how much thought was put into parts of the character's gameplay design, combos, mechanics, and smoothness of play around the on field perfect dodge swap dance with the enemy thanks again for all of your hard work..! (also hehe nice sfx and subtitles )

[klakhouse]

you can trigger a chain attack "on demand" if you want to by holding the basic attack to do a heavy attack even if she doesn't have meter. the tip about being able to a defensive assist during her enchanted moonlit blossoms is great nice info.

[DiogoVKersting]

The main difference from Amby, is that she continuously applies high Daze while being able to dodge, while Amby relies more on her Ex and wants a window to complete her combo.

So a Amby team can rely more on Defensive Assists, while Qingyi wants to rely on dodge counters. Basically, Amby really wants to spend her Ex if you have the energy, and if you have her M1, you want to BA4 to enable it. But other than that Amby doesn't mind staying off-field, which also lends well to a Defensive Assist playstyle. That said, against passive enemies there's a lot of value on Amby's Thunderbolts.

A dodge-counter style of play is a bit more difficult, because Defensive Assists often interrupt the enemy, while if you're dodging, you're going to have to dodge all hits of the enemy's combo.

On the other hand, Amby is extremely reliant on her Ex to apply Daze, and if you miss it, that is going to have a huge impact on the time it takes to stun the boss. Missing Qingyi's Ex doesn't feel great, but the rest of her kit still deal high Daze so it's not the end of the world.

All and all, I'm loving Qingyi's playstyle, and she's my favorite character in the game right now.

Amazing intro very concise and informative video, love the visuals as always! Thanks for all the hard work and hope you can get lots of rest

[DavidChung-if]

Genuinely the best qingyi guide that I've seen out there. Love your focus on combos and playstyle where other creators just talk about builds for like 20mins. Great video overall. Would video again.

[sunbleachedfly]

Commenting for algorithm bc this is the best and most in-depth Qingyi guide I've encountered so far

[ZWakeup]

love your guide a lot, content on screen it's very obvious for me to comprehend the nuances and wall of informations 🥰

[LokiLiesGod]

Thanks for the detailed video.

Qingyi got doomposted so much by some content creators that I thought I went back in time to Genshin 1.6 and Kazuha's release. An informative video is quite nice for a change.

[pretty.billy.]

Just wanted to say my wife watches your videos with me just because she loves you so much. She doesn’t know the first thing about gachas.

[hoobop]

Thank you Sweetily, I also want to say your previous ZZZ videos were great too!

[swiftable]

You had me in the first part lol! 😂 I loved your Qingyi guide as it was very accurate and also relatively concise 😃

[Macaxdd]

I haven't seen anyone mention it in guides but despite the Assist Skill not mentioning it, Qingyi's Defensive Assist parry acts as a "strong" parry, such as Soukaku's or Piper's, which means she ALWAYS parries enemies with 1 single point instead of 2. Hopefully this isn't reverted, cause it's been pretty damn comfy. I love her!

[mroleh]

I don't know how to express this. But this video is so sweet you can basically feel the joy in the spoken lines. It's more of a performance than a guide xD.
Thank you for this video~
I am more and more curious about the ZZZ story with passing time. So I might give it another shot ❤

[nrwcoco]

Thank you for the hard work, please rest well! 💖
