At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Qingque
- “A Quartet? Woo-hoo!” hits every enemy on the field in one cast, so Qingque stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- Skill “A Scoop of Moon” pre-loads jade tiles toward the enhanced Basic—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Celestial Jade” pre-loads jade tiles toward the enhanced Basic—ignore it and Qingque plays like a worse generic Erudition unit.
- “A Scoop of Moon” wants stacks online before the big hit—interrupts, crowd control, or dying mid-ramp dump the stack count and reset the damage plan.
- Jade-tile RNG can brick a turn: without a matching suit, Qingque sits on a weaker Basic instead of the enhanced attack the traces assume.
- As a 4★ Erudition unit, Qingque is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
Serval
- Ultimate “Here Comes the Mechanical Fever” hits the full field and forces DoT application/detonation in one cast—Pure Fiction waves melt once the status is seeded.
- “Lightning Flash” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Galvanic Chords” seeds or detonates DoT statuses in the same cast—ignore it and Serval plays like a worse generic Erudition unit.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “Here Comes the Mechanical Fever”, Serval spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- As a 4★ Erudition unit, Serval is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
- Spamming “Lightning Flash” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Serval is often the SP sink.
