Honkai: Star Rail – Qingque build and ascension guide

Give the dice a roll and test your fortune with what seems to be an exceptional Honkai: Star Rail Qingque setup. This character appears to push boundaries, offering a fourth-wall-esque touch by HoYoverse, as Qingque heavily relies on luck during battles. She is a devotee of The Erudition path and inflicts Quantum damage.

Among all characters in the game thus far, Qingque stands out with a distinctive mechanic: she can pick up to four tiles from three distinct suits and keep them in her hand. Her objective is to gather four tiles of the same suit.

Here is how Qingque draws Jade Tiles:

  • Qingque draws one Tile whenever an ally starts their turn.
  • Qingque draws two Tiles upon using her Skill.

Here is how Qingque throws away Jade Tiles:

  • Qingque tosses one Tile of whichever suit she has the least amount of Tiles from during her Basic Attack.
  • Qingque consumes all Jade Tiles when entering the Hidden Hand state.

whenever Qingque gathers four identical Suit Jade Tiles, she uses them up, entering a state known as Hidden Hand, which increases her Attack Power and transforms her Basic Attack into a wide-area assault with enhanced damage.

With her unique ability, A Scoop of Moon, she can pull out two Jade Tiles right away, granting her an additional play. This power boosts her fundamental attack’s damage for a single turn, with the effect accumulating up to four times in succession.

Qingque’s Final Ability, The Quartet Exults!, dispatches Quantum Damage to every character presently on the battlefield, scaling with Qingque’s Attack power. Additionally, it converts all of her current Jade Tiles into the Fish outfit.

As a devoted fan, I’d like to share some insights about Qingque’s level progression, which can be seen as another method of enhancing her abilities. Here’s what each level does:

1. Level 1 amplifies the power of her Ultimate skill.
2. Level 2 grants an Energy point upon drawing a Tile.
3. At Level 4, there’s a 24% chance for Autarky to activate, extending until the end of her next turn after using her Skill, allowing her to launch a Follow-Up Attack against the target of her next Basic Attack.
4. Reaching Level 6 enables her to recover a Skill Point for the team after executing a Basic Attack boosted by Hidden Hand. This is a unique ability as it normally isn’t possible without this level upgrade.

Honkai: Star Rail – Qingque: best Light Cones

Qingque is optimally outfitted with Before Dawn, Jing Yuan‘s distinctive Light Cone. This accessory boosts the user’s Critical Damage, Skill Damage, and Ultimate Damage. Furthermore, upon using a skill or ultimate, it accumulates Somnus Corpus stacks. Later, these stacks are expended to amplify the subsequent attack by the wearer.

Best Light Cones for Qingque in HSR:

  • Before Dawn (5-Star)
  • Night on the Milky Way (5-Star)
  • Geniuses’ Repose (4-Star)
  • Eternal Calculus (5-Star)
  • The Day the Cosmos Fell (4-Star)
  • Yet Hope is Priceless (5-Star)
  • Into the Unreachable Veil (5-Star)

Honkai: Star Rail – Qingque: best Relics

Qingque desires all conventional attack-focused stats: Attack, Critical Damage, Critical Rate, and Speed. Yet, the Poet of Mourning Collapse set offers a unique playstyle by ignoring any Speed stats to amplify her damage potential instead. Consequently, the selection of your Relic Set plays a crucial role in determining the statistics you should focus on building.

As a gamer, I’ve got it figured out with Qingque – she starts off with a base Speed (SPD) of 98 and bumps it up an extra 10% whenever she unleashes her Enhanced Basic Attack. This means she can make the most of Poet of Mourning Collapse’s effects, right from the get-go – at least for the initial stage. But be cautious when putting together your team, steering clear of abilities or effects that boost Qingque’s Speed further. The Poet of Mourning Collapse has got the highest damage potential on paper for Qingque, but it might not be worth the hassle for every player.

Best Relic Sets for Qingque in HSR:

  • [With SPD] Genius of Brilliant Stars (4) – +10% Quantum DMG, wearer ignores 25% DEF when attacking enemies with Quantum Weakness.
  • [No SPD] Poet of Mourning Collapse (4) – +10% Quantum DMG, -8% SPD, +20%/32% CRIT Rate when the wearer’s SPD is lower than 110/95.

Best Planar Ornaments for Qingque in HSR:

  • Rutilant Arena (2) – +8% CRIT Rate, +20% Basic Attack and Skill DMG when the wearer’s CRIT Rate is 70% or higher.

Honkai: Star Rail – Qingque: best teams

Qingque isn’t for players who prefer strategic control and optimization — she’s the charismatic queen of chance. Her performance in combat can swing wildly, either leaving you disappointed due to unfortunate dice rolls or triumphant with a flurry of basic attacks and follow-ups that score critical hits. However, the key aspect is that she’s an exciting character to play.

  • Qingque (Main DPS), Sparkle (Support), Silver Wolf (Support), Fu Xuan (Support)

In this group, Qingque causes the most harm to opponents. Sparkle pairs well with her since the Masked Fool enhances her skills and boosts her gambling power. Silver Wolf weakens enemies and makes them vulnerable to Qingque’s attacks. Lastly, Fu Xuan protects the team by taking damage, but if resources are tight, Lynx can fill the last spot as a more cost-effective alternative.

Jade, Cipher, and Tribbie are strong alternatives to Silver Wolf as Sub DPS or Support characters, but consider using them only if your opponents already possess the Quantum Vulnerability. Anaxa, on the other hand, can be utilized to give Silver Wolf the Quantum Vulnerability instead.

Honkai: Star Rail – Qingque: ascension materials

To help Qingque reach the highest level and maximize all her abilities, here’s a breakdown of essential information.

Here’s the key details you need.

To reach level 80, Qingque needs these ascent materials along with the required experience points:

  • Credits x246,000
  • Thief’s Instinct x12
  • Usurper’s Scheme x13
  • Conqueror’s Will x12
  • Void Cast Iron x50

1. You’ll find Thief’s Instinct, Usurper’s Scheme, and Conqueror’s Will in Voidranger Reavers, enemies within Herta Space Station’s Storage and Supply Zones, and the Simulated Universe. Additionally, you can acquire or swap them using the Omni-Synthesizer on the Astral Express. Thief’s Instinct is a resource that can be easily farmed through Daily Assignments for your characters, providing a reliable source of this material.

2. These items – Thief’s Instinct, Usurper’s Scheme, and Conqueror’s Will – can be obtained from Voidranger Reavers and other foes in the Storage and Supply Zones of Herta Space Station, as well as the Simulated Universe. You can also create or exchange them using the Omni-Synthesizer on the Astral Express. Thief’s Instinct is a resource that you can farm easily through your characters’ Daily Assignments, providing a steady stream of this material.

3. In Herta Space Station’s Storage and Supply Zones, Voidranger Reavers, and the Simulated Universe, you’ll come across Thief’s Instinct, Usurper’s Scheme, and Conqueror’s Will. The Astral Express’ Omni-Synthesizer offers both creation and exchange options for these items as well. Thief’s Instinct is a resource that can be effortlessly obtained through your characters’ Daily Assignments, ensuring a consistent supply of this material.

4. You can acquire Thief’s Instinct, Usurper’s Scheme, and Conqueror’s Will from enemies like Voidranger Reavers in the Storage and Supply Zones of Herta Space Station, or within the Simulated Universe. Additionally, you can craft or exchange these items using the Omni-Synthesizer onboard the Astral Express. Thief’s Instinct is a resource that you can easily farm through your characters’ Daily Assignments, making for a steady income of this material.

Empty Cast Iron can be obtained from the Inactive Shadows (Base Zone), or acquired through trading. The most valuable source of Credits are the Radiant Sunflowers (Golden Calyxes) found across various planets.

Qingque requires the following materials to upgrade her combat abilities and Traces:

  • Credits x2,400,000
  • Thief’s Instinct x28
  • Usurper’s Scheme x42
  • Conqueror’s Will x42
  • Key of Inspiration x12
  • Key of Knowledge x54
  • Key of Wisdom x105

To review, the previously mentioned items are where you should look. The Crimson Calyx in Rivet Town offers keys as a farming option. Just like before, you can craft advanced materials by processing lower-level materials through the Omni-Synthesizer on board the Astral Express.

In simpler terms, Guardian’s Lament is an uncommon resource that can exclusively be acquired from the Everwinter Hill domain known as Echo of War. On the other hand, Tracks of Destiny can be obtained during special events like the Embers Exchange, Nameless Honor, or limited-time events. Additionally, they can also be earned as rewards for accumulating Simulated Universe Points.
