At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Jiyan
- Liberation “Emerald Storm - Prelude” enters Qingloong Mode and replaces basics with Lance of Qingloong Heavy Attacks — that window is where Jiyan’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Qingloong at War” enters Qingloong Mode and replaces basics with Lance of Qingloong Heavy Attacks, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Skill “Windqueller” seeds coordinated pressure so Jiyan still contributes after leaving the field.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Emerald Storm - Prelude” is up — double-DPS swaps dilute the dump window.
- Wants dedicated supports and ER planning; dropped into a random squad, Liberation uptime falls off a cliff.
Qiuyuan
- Liberation “Sundering Strike” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — that window is where Qiuyuan’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Verdant Edge” converts Forte resources into an enhanced damage cast, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Strike Before Ready” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Sundering Strike” is up — double-DPS swaps dilute the dump window.
- Wants dedicated supports and ER planning; dropped into a random squad, Liberation uptime falls off a cliff.
