Qingyi's Core Passives

Core Passive: Eternal Seasons
Lv. 12

When Qingyi lands a Finishing Move on an enemy with her Basic Attack: Enchanted Moonlit Blossoms, it applies 5 stacks of Subjugation to the enemy, stacking up to 20 times. Each stack of Subjugation increases the target's Stun DMG Multiplier by 4%. For each rush attack performed during Basic Attack: Enchanted Moonlit Blossoms, the Finishing Move will apply an extra stack of Subjugation. If Perfect Dodge is triggered when using the Finishing Move, it directly applies 10.00 stacks of Subjugation. When applying Subjugation to normal and elite enemies, the target receives double the stacks. When the target recovers from being Stunned, the corresponding stacks of Subjugation are reset.

Additional Ability: Three Verses of Farewell at Yang Pass

When another character in your squad is an Attack character or shares the same Faction:
Basic Attacks deal 20% increased Daze. If Qingyi's Impact is greater than 120, each point over increases her ATK by 6, up to a maximum of 600.
