Qingyi Skills and Mindscape Cinema Details

Qingyi is a playable character in the action RPG Zenless Zone Zero. This article examines her unique abilities and combat style, providing an overview of her skill set and potential roles within a team composition.

Agent Skills

Basic Attack

Basic Attack: Penultimate

Press Basic Attack to activate:

Launch up to four strikes forward, dealing Physical DMG and Electric DMG.

During the 3rd-hit, continually press Basic Attack to continue the attack, continuously striking the enemy. Using Dodge during this period will not interrupt Qingyi’s Basic Attack combo count.

During the 3rd hit, stop pressing Basic Attack to interrupt the continous attack, transitioning automatically to the 4th hit. If the continous attack lasts for a certain time, the 4th hit will be enhanced.

Anti-Interrupt Level is increased and DMG is reduced by 40% during the 3rd and 4th hit.

Basic Attack: Enchanted Blossoms

Press Basic Attack to activate:

Launches a forward rush attack, dealing Electric DMG.

Anti-Interrupt level is increased while using this skill.

Flash Connect

When Qingyi deals Electric DMG with a skill, she accumulates Flash Connect Voltage. When Flash Connect Voltage reaches 75%, she will enter the Flash Connect state. When using her Basic Attack: Enchanted Moonlit Blossoms, Qingyi will consume all Flash Connect Voltage and exit the Flash Connect state. For every 1% of Flash Connect Voltage consumed over 75%, her Damage and Daze inflicted by this skill will be increased by 1%/0.5%. Basic Attack: Enchanted Moonlit Blossoms itself does not accumulate Flash Connect Voltage.

During the Flash Connect state, hold Basic Attack to activate:

Launch five consecutive forward rush attacks, then execute a Finishing Move that inflicts massive Electric DMG. Release Basic Attack during the move to trigger the Finishing Move early.

When a Chain Attack is triggered, select the character to activate:

Launch a series of powerful strikes over a large area in front, dealing massive Electric DMG

When this attack hits an enemy, the skill’s DMG increases by 3% for every stack of Subjugation in Core Passive: Eternal Seasons the target has.

Core Skill

Core Passive: Eternal Seasons

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 2%. For each rush attack 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 stacks of Subjugation. When applying Subjugation to normal or 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

If there is an Agent with the Attack Specialty or an Agent belonging to the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team faction, Qingyi’s Basic Attacks deal increased Daze. Also, if Qingyi’s Impact is greater than 120 points, her Attack increases a certain amount for each point over 120, allowing for a maximum increase of 600 points.

Core Skill Enhancement

Insulation Breakdown

When Qingyi enters combat, Flash Connect Voltage is instantly restored to its maximum, and the accumulation rate is increased by 30%. When using her Basic Attack: Enchanted Moonlit Blossoms, if Flash Connect Voltage is at its maximum, the attack will reduce the defense of the enemy it hits by 15%, and Qingyi’s CRIT Rate against that enemy will increase by 20% for 15s.

“While there will be no threat to your life, we kindly request you do not resist arrest…”

The direction and intensity of the current have been precisely calculated to ensure that every suspect receives a safe electric shock experience.

Minimal Effort, Maximum Impact

The Stun DMG Multiplier increase provided by each stack of Subjugation in Core Passive: Eternal Seasons increases to 135% of its original value.

When Qingyi’s attack hits an enemy and the stacks of Subjugation she applies reaches its maximum stacks, her Daze dealt to the target increases by 15%.

An ancient combat technique mentioned in old texts. It seems to have started as a martial arts technique, rather than a staff technique.

“Don’t be so constrained, the arm itself can be used like a three-section staff, mhm.”

Drink Hot Water

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

“Young people should be mindful of their health, and drinking more hot water is a good start.”

Qingyi always appears comforted when she drinks from her thermos. But be careful if she offers you a drink–

“Even 100-degree Celsius boiling water doesn’t faze her…” One Public Security Officer who encountered this left such a note.

Stable Arc Barrier

Upon entering or exiting Flash Connect State, gain a shield equal to 10% of Qingyi’s Max HP. If a previous shield is still active when the shield effect refreshes, Qingyi generates 5 Energy. This Energy generation effect can be triggered once every 10s.

By reverse-engineering Automatons from the old civilization, the White Star Institute developed the Arc Barrier, a technology that combines defense, attack, and electrical energy conversion.

“As the saying goes: Water can float a boat or sink it. Physics has a saying: Electric current flows like water. Therefore: Electric current can be used both offensively and defensively. It’s a fantastic combination.”

Youthful Spirit

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv.+2

“Great, young people should be courageous and try new things. Keep it up!”

It sometimes feels like Qingyi’s encouragement is lazy and teasing, but if you really get into trouble, just rely on her.

After all, she’s been around for centuries and can handle anything.

Eight Meridians

The Interrupt Level of Basic Attack: Enchanted Moonlit Blossoms is greatly increased, and the CRIT DMG is increased by an additional 100%

When Qingyi hits an enemy with her Basic Attack: Enchanted Moonlit Blossoms, the target’s Resistance to all Attribute DMG is increased by 20% for 15s.

A theory about the human circulatory system documented in ancient texts from the old civilization. It’s said those who fully master this theory can instantly disable an opponent in a fight.

“How about trying the pressure points that cause itching next time? Who should be the guinea pig? Manager? Or Zhu Yuan?”
