In Honkai: Star Rail, Qingque stands out as one of the most distinctive DPS characters. Her incredible damage-dealing capability is largely dependent on the chance because she needs to align her tiles in order to launch upgraded basic attacks that deliver significant damage. Players looking to conquer difficult stuff will find Qingque to be even more alluring now that Silver Wolf has been added in version 1.1. Due to the fact that both Silver Wolf and Qingque possess the Quantum element, which increases the likelihood of this weakness being used, Silver Wolf’s capacity to apply vulnerabilities increases Qingque’s usefulness across a larger range of circumstances.
Although Qingque’s playstyle includes RNG components, players shouldn’t only rely on chance to take advantage of all that she has to offer in Honkai: Star Rail. When outfitting Qingque with the best relic sets and light cones, it greatly increases her DPS potential. Thankfully, gamers can choose from a variety of options across various rarities, including workable free-to-play ones.
Geniuses’ Repose
Most Erudition characters may readily employ Geniuses’ Repose, a 4-star gacha light cone that boosts ATK and has the potential to raise Crit DMG. The wearer, like Qingque, must vanquish the enemy in order for this ability to go into effect; it will not go into action if another teammate gives the last blow. Thankfully, players have enough time to make use of this buff after activating it as it lasts for 3 turns. Particularly if the monster has the ability to summon companions as Cocolia does, Geniuses’ Repose shines in engagements with numerous waves or in situations when inferior opponents accompany a boss enemy, ensuring a more constant activation of the secondary effect.
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 476
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
- Base HP (LVL 80): 846
- Effect : Increases the wearer’s ATK by 16%/20%/24%/28%/32 %. When the wearer defeats an enemy, the wearer’s CRIT DMG increases by 24%/30%/36%/42%/48% for 3 turn(s).
The Seriousness of Breakfast
The Seriousness of Breakfast is a great alternative because it is comparable to Geniuses’ Repose and is accessible without the need for gacha. If they have enough Lucent Afterglow, they can purchase it from the Forgotten Hall Light Cone Store, and possibly from the weekly boss fights against Echoes of War. Due to its simplicity and suitable F2P nature, it is a great option. This light cone gives Qingque an unconditionally high DMG increase that is significantly better than a similar rise in ATK%. Additionally, it increases ATK, making it particularly useful in encounters against several foes. This light cone’s benefit accumulates and lasts, allowing it to maximise its effectiveness by eliminating enemies as soon as possible rather than relying on passive abilities.
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 476
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
- Base HP (LVL 80): 846
- Effect: Increases the wearer’s DMG by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24%. For every defeated enemy, the wearer’s ATK increases by 4%/5%/6%/7%/8%, stacking up to 4 times (s).
Today Is Another Peaceful Day
It should come as no surprise that Today Is Another Peaceful Day would be one of the top possibilities, specifically the greatest 4-star light cone for her given that Qingque is featured on its artwork. This is mostly due to the fact that her Max Energy, at 140, is among the greatest, providing considerable rewards from choosing this option. Even without any superimposition, it increases her DMG by 28%, exceeding The Seriousness of Breakfast’s maximum overlaid impact. Although it lacks more secondary effects, it has a slightly greater base ATK than other 4-star alternatives, making it suitable for all kinds of content despite lacking further secondary effects. However, the fact that Today Is Another Peaceful Day is restricted to Nameless Glory makes it inappropriate for F2P players.
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 529
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 330
- Base HP (LVL 80): 846
- Effect: After entering battle, increases the wearer’s DMG based on their Max Energy. DMG increases by 0.2%/0.25%/0.3%/0.35%/0.4% per point of Energy, up to 160 Energy.
Night on the Milky Way
Qingque may gain a lot from Himeko’s 5-star trademark light cone, Night on the Milky Way, especially when combined with Silver Wolf. The rationale for this is that regardless of the weakness kind, Silver Wolf has a chance to grant opponents Quantum’s weakness or utilises her skill to lower their toughness metre. As a result, Qingque may defeat any opponent without the aid of other characters from other aspects by more easily weakening their toughness and becoming consistent in doing so. Players without Silver Wolf can still benefit from this light cone, but they may need to reorganise their teams and mix up their team members to better match the weaknesses of each enemy they face in battle. Players can still significantly profit from the first effect even without a weakness break, especially while fighting a big number of foes.
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 582
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
- Base HP (LVL 80): 1164
- Effect: For every enemy on the field, increases the wearer’s ATK by 8%/10%/12%/14%/16%, up to 5 times. When an enemy is inflicted with Weakness Break, the wearer’s DMG increases by 24%/30%/36%/42%/48% for 1 turn.
Before Dawn
Although Before Dawn is the trademark light cone of Jing Yuan, it is debatably the best light cone for all contemporary erudition characters, including Qingque, due to its powerful advantages. Qingque deals most of her damage with her improved Basic attack, but even if her skill, which does not deal damage, is not able to make use of this boost, she can still gain from the unconditional rise in Crit DMG and Ultimate DMG. If players gain access to Qingque’s fourth eidolon, she can additionally make use of Before Dawn’s third effect, which raises the damage of her follow-up attacks. This is due to the fact that only then does Qingque get a new skill that would allow her to unleash a second attack after using her primary assault.
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 582
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
- Base HP (LVL 80): 1164
- Effect: Increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 32%/40%/48%/56%/64%. Increases the wearer’s Skill and Ultimate DMG by 20%/25%/30%/35%/40%. After the wearer uses their Skill or Ultimate, they gain Somnus Corpus. Upon triggering a follow-up attack, Somnus Corpus will be consumed and the follow-up attack DMG increases by 48%/60%/72%/84%/96%.
Honkai: Star Rail is now accessible on PC, iOS, and Android devices. A PlayStation version is currently being created.
