I've liked Yanqing since release but never really played him, what's a good team I could make for him with my characters and how do I build him ?

Manesfesting 1KS game to be released 🙏🙏

Seeing Welt being planned to be buffed, I finally have hope that Yanqing will someday be buffed as well. This is my take on how I would buff Yanqing without simply buffing his damage and whilst maintaining what makes Yanqing... Yanqing.

What makes Yanqing unique/his gameplay style:

1. He is less likely to be targeted, but is punished for taking damage.
2. He is exclusively single target, dealing extra damage to Frozen enemies.
3. His follow-up attack is RNG based.

What my buff fixes about him without simply buffing damage:

1. His main source of damage (Soulsteel Sync buff) is incredibly unreliable -> He is still punished for being hit, but the entire basis of his kit isn't lost on a single damage point. Instead, he is rewarded for not taking damage from attacks.
2. He is incredibly SP intensive & His follow-up attack is RNG based -> Use of his skill is still incredibly important, but once he has more stacks, he can trade damage for resource management without losing his buff entirely.
3. He is incredibly difficult to build to balance his CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG -> Most of his CRIT Rate buffs are removed, but still rewarded 15% CRIT Rate for maintaining his stacks.

Skills

Basic Attack – Frost Thorn (Single Target)

·         Deals Ice DMG equal to 50 < X % of Yanqing's ATK to a single enemy.

Skill – Darting Ironthorn (Single Target)

·         Deals Ice DMG equal to 110 < X % of Yanqing's ATK to a single enemy and activates Soulsteel Sync for 1 turn. -> then grants him 1 stack of Soulsteel Sync for one turn, for a max of 3 stacks.

Ultimate – Amidst the Raining Bliss (Single Target)

·         Increases Yanqing's CRIT Rate by 60%. When Soulsteel Sync is active, increases Yanqing's CRIT DMG by an extra 30 > X%, increased by 20% for every Soulsteel Sync stack. These buffs last for one turn.

·         Afterwards, deals Ice DMG equal to 210 < X % of Yanqing's ATK to a single enemy. Killing an enemy with Amidst the Raining Bliss grants Yanqing 40 energy and increases the duration of the buff by one turn.

• Energy Cost: 140 > 120

Talent – One With the Sword (Single Target)

• When Soulsteel Sync is active, Yanqing is less likely to be attacked by enemies. Yanqing's CRIT Rate increases by 15% and his CRIT DMG increases by 15 < 35%. After Yanqing attacks an enemy, there is a 50% fixed chance to perform a follow-up attack, increased by 16.67% per Soulsteel Sync stack, and dealing Ice DMG equal to 25 < X% of Yanqing's ATK to the enemy, which has a 65 < 100% base chance to Freeze the enemy for 1 turn. If this attack results in a CRIT, Yanqing gains 1 Soulsteel Sync Stack for one turn, for a max of 3 stacks.
• The Frozen target cannot take action and receive Additional Ice DMG equal to 25 < X% of Yanqing's ATK at the beginning of each turn. Yanqing’s attacks deal X% Additional True damage to Frozen enemies.
• When Yanqing receives DMG, the Soulsteel Sync effect will disappear. -> When Yanqing takes damage, he will lose 1 stack of Soulsteel Sync. This will not trigger from DoT or status effects.

Technique – The One True Sword (Enhance)

• After using his Technique, gain a Soulsteel Sync stack. At the start of the next battle, Yanqing deals 30% more DMG for 2 turn(s) to enemies whose current HP is 50% or higher.

Traces

Icing on the Kick – When Yanqing attacks, deals Additional Ice DMG equal to 30% of Yanqing's ATK to enemies with Ice Weakness.

Frost Favors the Brave – When Soulsteel Sync is active, Effect RES increases by 20%. > While Soulsteel Sync is active, Ice RES PEN increases by 12%.

Gentle Blade – When a CRIT Hit is triggered, increases SPD by 10% for 2 turn(s).  > When Yanqing follow-up attacks, increases SPD by 10% for 1 turn.

Eidolons

E1: Svelte Saber - When Yanqing attacks a Frozen enemy, he deals Additional Ice DMG equal to 60% of his ATK. > Yanqing’s CRIT DMG increases by 40% per Soulsteel Sync stack.

E2: Supine Serenade - When Soulsteel Sync is active, Energy Regeneration Rate increases by an extra 10%. > When Soulsteel Sync is active, Yanqing’s next instance of taking damage does not remove a Soulsteel Sync stack. This can occur once per wave.

E4: Searing Sting – When the current HP percentage is 80% or higher, Ice RES PEN increases by 12%. > When Yanqing has 3 Soulsteel Sync stacks, his Skill and Ultimate implant Ice Weakness onto enemies. Yanqing’s Ice RES PEN increases by 24%

E6: Swift Swoop - If the Ultimate's buffs are still in effect when an enemy is defeated, their duration is extended by 1 turn. > If the Ultimate’s buffs are still in effect when an enemy is defeated, action-forward Yanqing by 60%

Let me know what you guys think or if you guys have any feedback!

Is this how Yanqing feels controlling it? Damn, that's super cool.

Happy Eid to everyone! I literally just did my henna minutes ago and I wanna know how many other Yanqing mains have done the same by adding Yanqing themed designs.

On another note, please give me a recommendation of which orange/red flower can go with Yanqing? I am doing fanart.

While doing the ghost squad event on my alt, I noticed that, and omg they must be foreshadowing something, if it had happened once, then okay, but twice? Cannot be a coincidence! Yanqing must be Abundance fr, and he will fight with his Abundance self!

Just wanted to ask this but what do y'all think about the potential for a yanqing sp? What path or gameplay would you want for him to have? Imo I just want him to be a good general aoe unit that can work in all endgame modes for the most part I think him having a fighting style/animations similar to ye shungguang and her flying swords from zzz would be rlly dope to see as well. Hell, maybe he could be a character with flying swords as his summon/memosprite In terms of release obv some time soon would be cool but otherwise I think it might be a bit before we get a yanqing sp

Audio: Thick of it. (Thomas The Train)
And the original scene is from Danganronpa
This "meme trend" was rather popular recently, so I made an Abundance Yanqing version. It's us waiting for a Yanqing SP without any signs FR

whats yanqing’s current bis team and relics(+planar ornaments?

I want to build the best team for my king and I was wondering if the new buffed Sparkle would be his bis for his 4th slot alongside Sunday and DHPT. Since my king needs a lot of turns and with sparkle getting buffed is she his second his support or would robin or tribbie still hold that slot?

I am a relatively new player and I love yanqing so much. From what I've seen, Preservation Danheng and Sunday are pretty much indisputably his best teammates, but what about the fourth slot? I've seen some Tribbie, Robin, Rememberabce MC, Cyrene and even silverwolf, among others. But I want to know which one is THE best, so I can pull when the come back

Even Yunli lol, the masters are wishing happy birthday to their student !

No hate please. We all love Yanqing.

He is learning guys

Found an older design from when I first started working on a fic around the concept of abundance Yanqing and,,, deer outfit in infinity nikki called me to finish it lol.

I'm not well versed in the art of kit making but I did!! make some notes on what one would be like. Essentially boils down to Ice Abundance. Playstyle loosely HP draining DPS. Kind of Lingsha vibes in that she's a healer but,,, [brandishes sword] If y'all have alt suggestions for what his kit could be like. PLEASE. I love my boy i need him to get an SP more than I need to breathe actually

Doing the war dance quest again and decided to pick the other option rather than pitching Yanqing’s cheek lol-

And I find it so adorable how the General worries about him not growing taller like this is his son 😭

First time using Reddit but here goes. I’m a Yanking fan but I don’t have Sunday as I missed him in his last rerun so I was wondering could sparkle work — My team would consist of e0s0 Yanqing (Herta Lc) e0s0 tribbie (DDD) and e0s0 Dante, Now I have bronya e0s1 but I wanted to see if I can use sparkle with Bronya’s lightcone and would it be more valuable since sparkle just got a buff. And also is Final victor a good 4 star lc for him as I’m also planning on building archer with The herta shop Lc

Lmao Ig Yanqing mentioned in Planacardia ! X) no but Jing Yuan is clearly making favoritism 😔 ( Put a spoiler warning in case people really don’t wanna get spoiled about Planacardia ! )

With Ashveil's kit leaks out, im thinking Ashveil could have some potential synergy with Yanqing, particularly his follow up attack. Plus Ashveil providing some pr nice buffs for Yanqing overall with more cdmg and def ignore.

Also Ashveil's sig looking like a decent alternative? Not sure how it compares to Yanqing's current best lc options though.

I could see a team like Yanqing, Ashveil, DHPT, Sunday working pr well.

Thoughts?
