Chen Qianyu

endgame sub dps

sub_dpssupportdebuff

Chen Qianyu is an excellent Vulnerability applicator for Physical teams. She can repeatedly trigger Lift with her Battle and Combo skills, enabling teammates to consume these stacks for Crush or Breach. While her personal damage is average, she provides great utility as a free unit and excels in base management.

This endgame build focuses on maximizing Chen Qianyu's Vulnerability application and personal damage. Rapid Ascent and the Qingbo set synergize to reduce cooldowns and amplify skill damage. Prioritize Agility and Strength for higher damage, and use Physical DMG Bonus and Skill DMG Bonus substats. This build is best used in teams that can consume Vulnerability stacks for Crush or Breach.

Insights

Core Mechanics

Applies Lift and Vulnerability stacks via Battle Skill (Ascending Strike) and Combo Skill (Soar to the Stars). Vulnerability allows allies to trigger Crush or Breach.
Can interrupt enemy charge attacks (red ring) to deal extra Stagger, enhancing crowd control.

Scaling

As a free 5-star, Chen Qianyu's damage output is modest and relies on team synergy to maximize Vulnerability consumption. Her effectiveness improves with supports that amplify Physical damage.
Scales well with Agility and Strength, and benefits from Physical DMG Bonus and Skill DMG Bonus.

Team Role

Chen Qianyu functions as a sub-DPS who primarily applies Vulnerability stacks for her team. She is most effective in Physical-focused compositions where allies can exploit the Lifted status. Her Combo Skill has a 16-second cooldown, so she should rotate between Battle Skill and Ultimate while weaving basic attacks. She also provides excellent base utility in the Manufacturing Cabin and Growth Chamber.

Explanation

Rapid Ascent is the best weapon because its Twilight passive grants Physical DMG Dealt +42% and an additional 98% against Staggered enemies, which pairs perfectly with Chen Qianyu's Stagger and Vulnerability mechanics.

Glorious Memory is a strong alternative from the Protocol Pass, offering Agility and a damage boost when applying Vulnerability.

Sundering Steel and Aspirant are budget options that still provide Agility, Physical DMG, and conditional ATK buffs.

Notes

The Qingbo set reduces Combo Skill cooldown by 15% and grants Skill DMG Dealt +20% after using Combo Skill, stacking twice.
Swordmancer armor provides Strength, Agility, and Physical DMG Bonus to boost overall damage.
