Best Echo Sets for

2pc

Qiuyuan maximizes the benefits of Law of Harmony, as his kit primarily revolves around Echo Skills and Heavy Attack DMG. He is able to get the team-wide Echo Skill DMG bonus consistently, making it quite ideal. As for the secondary set, we suggest getting an ER set like Moonlit Clouds since he needs around 130% of the stat to have more consistent rotations.

5pc

Qiuyuan can also function as a general Sub-DPS for non-Echo teams with the Moonlit Clouds & Heron combo to provide an unconditional 30% Crit DMG buff from his kit, and an ATK and DMG buff from the set, respectively. For Echo Skill DMG hypercarry setups, this is more recommended than the 3-pc LoH and 2-pc Sierra Gale set, since it gives a lot more buffs to the dedicated DPS character.

5pc

The 5-pc Sierra Gale is an option for Qiuyuan to boost his own damage during team rotations. The Aero DMG buffs are easy to get upon using his Intro Skill and improves all of his damaging skills. He will also benefit from the Heavy Attack DMG and Aero DMG Bonuses from Nightmare: Feilian Beringal. Run this if you mainly want to have him as a Main DPS.

's Best Primary Echo

The best main Echo for Qiuyuan due to its high synergy with his kit. It boosts Aero DMG and Heavy Attack DMG which Qiuyuan scales off of. This belongs in the Law of Harmony set that is highly preferred for him for its team-wide Echo Skill DMG buffs.

A second choice for Qiuyuan if you're running the Moonlit Clouds set. Transform-type Echo, which is a bit tedious to use in rotations. Requires activation to get the damage boost after Outro skill.

A considerable choice for Qiuyuan. Summon-type Echo that deals Aero DMG over a few seconds. Gives Heavy Attack DMG and Aero DMG Bonuses while equipped.

Best Teams for

Aero Echo Skill Team

One of the strongest teams for Qiuyuan is with Sigrika and Shorekeeper for a hypercarry Echo Skill DMG team. The majority of Sigrika's DMG scales off Echo Skill DMG, so she essentially gets the most out of Qiuyuan's kit compared to other characters. Sigrika also applies her own Aero and Echo Skill DMG buffs to the active Resonator, so both her and Qiuyuan can benefit from this. As for Shorekeeper, she is the most effective support unit for this team, as she gives amazing Crit stats and All-Type DMG Amplification, which the entire team utilizes. You can, however, use any alternative healer or even Ciaccona for more damage.

Begin combat with Shorekeeper and go through her combos to build up her Resonance and Concerto gauges. Once her Resonance Liberation is up, cast it to deploy Stellarealm and switch to Qiuyuan once Outro is available., After Qiuyuan's Intro, perform two Basic Attacks to fill his Forte quickly. Then, cast Echo Skill and his Resonance Liberation to deal extra damage to enemies., Next, hold his Heavy Attack button to perform his 3-step attack string, consuming his Forte in the process. Lastly, cast Resonance Skill before switching to Sigrika via Outro., As Sigrika, quickly cast Echo Skill and three Basic Attacks. Then, cast Resonance Skill to generate two Runes followed by an enhanced Heavy Attack., Afterwards, cast Resonance Liberation to enter the Divergent state., Next, do five more Basic Attacks to gain two Rune stacks. Once available, do an empowered Heavy Attack., After performing two Heavy Attacks, hold Resonance Skill to charge it. Once the instance of damage is dealt, you can switch back to Shorekeeper with Outro., Shorekeeper detonates the realm after all three Intro skills., Repeat until all enemies are defeated.

Fusion Echo Skill Team

Qiuyuan is best paired with Galbrena due to their synergy with Echo Skill casts. Qiuyuan is inarguably Galbrena's best sub-DPS option, as he is the sole unit that can buff Echo Skill DMG, which she primarily scales off of. As for the third unit, Shorekeeper is the best option because of her general DMG buffs and healing capabilities. That said, you can replace her with other support units or even other sub-DPS characters.

Start off with Shorekeeper and go through her internal rotations to build up her Resonance and Concerto gauges. Once her Liberation is available, activate Stellarealm and switch out to Qiuyuan when his Intro is ready to use., After Qiuyuan enters with his Intro, follow it up with two Basic Attacks to fill his Forte to full stacks. Then, cast Echo Skill and Liberation to deal extra damage to enemies., Next, hold his Heavy Attack button to perform a 3-step attack string that consumes his Forte for enhanced damage. Lastly, cast his Resonance Skill and switch out to Galbrena via Outro., With Galbrena now on-field, cast her Echo Skill and deal 6 Basic Attacks to fill her Sinflame, then cast Resonance Skill to enter Demon Hypostasis., In Demon Hypostasis, cast Liberation to deal massive damage and increase her skills' DMG multipliers. Continue this combo with 7 Basic Attacks to consume her Forte energy., Once Forte is depleted and Concerto full, switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm., Repeat until no enemies are left on the field.

Havoc Echo Skill Team

Qiuyuan is viable in Phrolova and Cantarella's team, buffing their Echo Skill DMG significantly. He essentially replaces Roccia in the Mono Havoc team to get a team-wide buff. Each member gives a buff to the succeeding Resonator in the team. 1. Phrolova - Her Liberation with Hecate scales off Echo Skill DMG. Furthermore, Her Outro gives Heavy Attack DMG amplification. 2. Qiuyuan - He provides Crit DMG and Echo Skill DMG buffs with his Liberation, Forte, and Outro. 3. Cantarella - She can cast multiple Echo Skills with her abilities and provides coordinated attacks with her Liberation. Aside from this, she also gives Havoc DMG and Resonance Skill DMG amplification.

Initiate with Phrolova and build her Volatile Notes up with her Basic Attack and Resonance Skill combos., Once her Volatile Notes count to 6, perform Scarlet Coda to enter the Resolving Chord state. During this state, activate her Liberation to summon Hecate., With Hecate available in combat, Phrolova can control her even off-field. Switch to Qiuyuan with her Outro to amplify his Heavy Attack DMG., As Qiuyuan enters via his Intro, do two Basic Attacks to fill his Swordster's Soliloquy Forte. Once done, cast Echo Skill and Liberation to deal extra damage to enemies., With Swordster's Soliloquy full, hold the Heavy Attack button to do his 3-attack string that consumes his stacks for extra damage. Then, cast his Resonance Skill and switch out to Cantarella via Outro., Upon entering, immediately cast Cantarella's Resonance Skill and Liberation to get max Trance stacks., Then, enter the Mirage state and do her ideal combos to Stagnate enemies and heal the team. Once her Outro is available, switch to Phrolova once again to buff her Havoc and Resonance Skill DMG., Repeat steps 1 to 7 to maximize Hecate's off-field attacks. Echo Skills empower its attacks, which Qiuyuan and Cantarella excel at doing.

General Purpose Crit DMG Team

Considering his quick rotations, unconditional 30% Crit DMG boost from his Resonance Liberation, and the ATK boosts from Moonlit Clouds & Impermanence Heron, Qiuyuan can become a general Sub-DPS that buffs both Crit DMG and ATK. Pair this with Shorekeeper and you can use the duo with any Main DPS as long as their skills scale off the ATK stat. Do note that this comp renders Qiuyuan's Outro useless as you will most likely use this on non-Echo teams. Nevertheless, it's a good option if you have limited characters in your roster.

Main DPS Team

At S3, Qiuyuan is capable of dealing decent damage to become the Main DPS of a team. He will primarily scale-off Heavy Attack, so use Heavy Attack buffers like Iuno or Mortefi. At the third slot, use any Support characters like Shorekeeper or Verina.
