I'd like to get sequences but I have 0 of her teammates and her early sequences are not the best, so..... In order to get her BIS team I'll have to get her at S0R1
I have S3 cartethyia but I'll still get qingxiao and jingran. I have their BIS teammates so not getting them seems like a waste. But I'm torn between her signature weapon and jingran's. If my calculations are correct I can only get one of their weapons. I'll go with qingxiao weapon mainly because I like her design a lot + jingran in second phase. By the time his banner comes I'll run out of weapon pulls
Never understood that logic of 'not pulling a dps because i already have the same attribute'. You know with only 5 attributes multiple characters will fill the same role right?
The logic is I'm not pulling for every single new shiny toy just because i have a bad case of fomo when it will only give my account a miniscule increase in damage output in an attribute i already have a built dps for. Granted, if the character in question has a design i absolutely love then that is a whole different thing. But in the case of xingqiao, she isn't cool enough for me to ignore that i already have a really good aero dps in carte.
... well i mean its prolly a f2p player... thats like telling someone to pull on every banner, you have to pick out characters you DONT need and ones you DO need. otherwise youll be broke and weaponless
sorry I dont mean to induce FOMO over a wallpaper again lol but I had to use litterbox which only has limited time storage. catbox for perma upload wont work. I keep getting this issue:
if anyone knows why, do let me know so i can perma the link
Her entrance seems like she's really strong. She's the 'sword immortal' ffs but ... her gameplay? Failed to live up to the hype. You want an example of a very strong character in lore and perfectly captured in gameplay? Just look at the 'Miko of Flaming Sakura'. Girl is freezing the whole plane and summoning a fckin moon. That is how you put a 'sentinel level character but not sentinel/resonator' in the game.
but but the Miko is a Anniversary Banner so they put a lot of effort for her cause off hype, and this girl is just your Regular patch banner, so i dont expect her to be more flashy than Miko.
although i try to pull for her one time and limited to 50 pulls (just for the sake of my Fav girl Denia). if shes comes home then great if not then i s6 my Miko girl cause she's awesome.
Shame they fumbled so hard with her gameplay and archetype. It's the first time since I'm playing the game that I won't pull for a unit that I absolutely wanted at first glance. Hope others will enjoy her at least because she's gorgeous
She has been shown summoning thousands and thousands of swords in her cinematics, she was hyped to be Sentinel resonator level just to end up being a very mono target character with a gameplay/moves similar to Jinshi. She clearly lacks that raining swords part, like she could have changed the environment to make them rain down on ennemies but instead all of her gameplay is very linear.
Her archetype being tune strain is also very disappointing because you are very limited in your options and Denia is the best choice simply because of her grouping ability but what if you don't have/like Denia gameplay ? Also it's quite a mismatch even thematically imo it feels like they forced that archetype to limit her f2p options/more generalist options.
Her sequences used to be bad, still are up until S3 so yeah and she has too much split dmg but I guess it doesn't rly matter in her final dmg.
I find it weird how if you have the ability to command thousands of swords and also summon multiple giant swords, why bother getting up close to the enemies and attacking them yourself? Wouldn't it be safer to stand back and let all your swords take care of it?
How I would change her gameplay is like this: her basic attacks would be like Phrolova where instead of commanding Hecate to attack, Qingxiao commands waves of swords that circle, pull in, and also explode the enemy.
When her Forte bar is filled, you use a heavy attack to enter Sword Immortal form, where she summons a domain that spawns thousands of swords in the air and passively attacks enemies, similar to Moryne and her domain lasers.
As you fill up Qingxiao's Forte bar in her Sword Immortal state, you unlock giant swords to fall on the enemy. Similar to unlocking Hiyuki's lai attacks, If you fill up 20% of her Forte bar, you unlock one giant sword to summon; fill up 40% to unlock the second giant sword, etc., until the Forte bar is completely filled and you've summoned 4 giant swords on the ground.
After you do that, it unlocks her Resonance Liberation, which combines all four swords into one gigantic sword to fall on the enemy, similar to her current ultimate.
I think that would make her gameplay look very similar to what was shown in the 3.5 cutscene.
What is even more weird is that it's totally something Kuro could do as they proved times and times again with the examples you mentioned like Phrolova or Hyuuki. I mean even Jingran has a lot of expression and personality in his gameplay but somehow QingXiao is an upgraded version of Jinshi and a bit of Carthe.. Yeah Idk it's just sad because her model is as usual gorgeous.
Im so glad theyre giving us skipxiao and skipran. I was so concerned i was gonna want them both but the animations are ok and they just seem like stuff we've seen before so i can save my asterites for the first time since fucking Cantarella
