Chen Qianyu is a great Vulnerability applicator for Physical teams, as she can trigger Lift multiple times with her Battle and Combo skills, allowing other Operators to consume them for Crush or Breach.
She is also a free unit, offering excellent overworld utility by improving base functions. Chen Qianyu is mainly intended to be a sub-DPS, dealing average damage and requiring other allies to consume her generated Vulnerability stacks.

Rapid Ascent is the best weapon for her since it synergizes with her playstyle, with her DMG concentrated in her Ultimate. Alternatively, Glorious Memory is a good option from the Protocol Pass weapon supply.
Sundering Steel or Aspirant are great budget options for their Agility, Physical DMG, and conditional buffs that work with Chen Qianyu.

The Qingbo set is Chen Qianyu's best option in the endgame due to its high synergy with her as a character. The gear pieces themselves increase Chen Qianyu's Agility and Strength attributes, while also buffing her Physical DMG quite a bit.
Meanwhile, the set itself reduces the Combo Skill Cooldown to provide more Vulnerable stacks for the team.

| Gear Set | |
The Roving MSGR set is Chen Qianyu's best option in the early game due to her primarily scaling off Agility and Physical DMG. She also benefits from the bonus Attack from both Roving MSGR Gyro pieces.
Chen Qianyu's main value in the team is to apply Vulnerability stacks, as both her Battle and Combo Skills cause enemies to be Lifted. As such, Chen Qianyu is best used as a sub-DPS in the team and is built as a Damage Dealer regardless if she's the Controlled Operator or not.
You get the most damage by using her talents in this order:
Chen Qianyu's Battle Skill is straightforward to use. Once you cast it, it will deal Physical DMG and cause enemies to be Lifted. In certain situations, using three casts of Chen Qianyu's Battle Skill alongside her Combo Skill will maximize Vulnerability stacks on enemies!
Whenever an enemy becomes Vulnerable, Chen Qianyu can make a follow-up attack using her Combo Skill. This attack simply deals Physical DMG and Lifts enemies. Do take note that this has a cooldown of 16 seconds, so you can't spam it.
Chen Qianyu's Ultimate is a simple AoE burst skill that deals a lot of damage while also having a low cost. Make sure to use it when enemies are Staggered to deal as much damage as possible. Additionally, you can buff this by getting Ultimate DMG Bonus or Ultimate Gain Efficiency to cast this as much as possible.
If enemies are charging up their attacks, appearing as a red ring around them, you can press any of Chen Qianyu's active skills to interrupt them. This will cause a lot more Stagger than other Operators, so try to use Chen Qianyu's skill for these instances when possible!
Aside from Chen Qianyu's combat ability, she also works great being set as a Base Operator with her extra perks in the Manufacturing Cabin and Growth Chambers.
You can have Chen Qianyu in the Manufacturing Cabin to get more weapon EXP materials. Just make sure to have Chen Qianyu's Base Skill, Blade Critique, unlocked first.
Once you unlock the Jadeworking Base Skill on Chen Qianyu, place her as the Base Operator for the Growth Chamber to improve Rare Mineral growth!
| Priority | Skill | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ![]() Ultimate |
Focus on upgrading Chen Qianyu's Ultimate as it's her strongest attack. As a support unit, she'll benefit from having this upgraded by increasing her damage output significantly. |
| 2 | ![]() Basic Attacks |
Chen Qianyu will be using her basic attacks a lot while being a support. As such, we recommend upgrading this second alongside her Ultimate. |
| 3 | ![]() Combo Skill |
Her Combo skill is extremely easy to trigger, as it only requires enemies to become Vulnerable. Despite having a longer cooldown, it still offers a fair bit of damage and will be used as much as possible in Physical teams. Upgrade this third. |
| 4 | ![]() Battle Skill |
While her Battle Skill offers great application of Lift and Staggers enemies, it cannot be spammed due to the team having a shared SP Cost. As such, you'll want to upgrade this later on, prioritizing her more consistent damaging abilities first. |
| Priority | Talent | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Slashing Edge | Slashing Edge gives Chen Qianyu additional ATK and can be triggered consistently by just hitting her skills. Upgrade this to increase her damage. |
| 2 | Momentum Breaker | This Talent increases Chen Qianyu's crowd-control capabilities, boosting her overall utility. That said, you'd still want to prioritize more damage first, but do not neglect this either. |
| Attack | Description |
|---|---|
| Basic Attack | An attack with up to 5 sequences that deals Physical DMG. As the controlled operator, Final Strike also deals 16 Stagger. |
| Dive Attack | Basic attack performed in mid-air becomes a dive attack that deals Physical DMG to nearby enemies. |
| Finisher Attack | Basic attack performed near a Staggered enemy becomes a finisher attack that deals massive Physical DMG and recovers some SP. |
