Honkai Star Rail Qingque build guide: Best Light Cones, Relics, and Traces

Honkai Star Rail features a diverse range of characters, each possessing unique kits. One such character players can obtain for free via the current in-game events is Qingque, a master of the game and a true risk-taker. Her kit revolves around an RNG-based tile mechanic that amplifies her normal attacks by the order her tiles fall into when casting.

As such, she is one of the more unique characters in Honkai Star Rail, requiring a rather carefully planned build. Read on to learn more about the ideal build for this Quantum DPS.

Best build for Qingque in Honkai Star Rail

1) Skills and Traces

Qingque follows the Path of Erudition and as such, is an AoE Quantum DPS. However, unlike other members, her first attack is always a single-target one. She can deal additional damage based on the number of tiles she draws, making her damage tricky to understand.

However, thanks to her Ultimate, “A Quartet? Woo-hoo!” she can transform all four tiles in her hand into a matching set, obtaining bonus AoE damage in the process.

Additionally, her Skill - “A Scoop of Moon'' draws in an additional two tiles and buffs Qingque’s damage by 14% for a turn. Using A Scoop of Moon will refund a Skill Point when the Tile Battle passive is unlocked.

Since Qingque prefers using enhanced basic attacks for damage, players should focus on supports such as Bronya and Tingyun to further augment her damage output.

2) Recommended Light Cones

The best Light Cone for Qingque at the current state of Honkai Star Rail is undoubtedly “Night on the Milky Way.” This Light Cone increases her ATK by 9%, by up to five stacks for each enemy present on the field. Inflicting a Weakness Break increases her damage output by an additional 30% as well, making this a remarkably good Light Cone for clearing out mobs with brute force.

The ideal 4-star alternative would be “Today is Another Peaceful Day,” which is coincidentally her signature Light Cone. The Cone increases Qingque’s damage output by a factor of 0.20% per point of Energy and caps this bonus at 160 Energy.

This is a fairly consistent source of raw damage for Qingque and can be obtained via the Nameless Honor Battle Pass in-game.

3) Relics and Planar Ornaments

The ideal Relic set for Qingque is the “Genius of Brilliant Stars” set, thanks to its impressive 2-pc and 4-pc bonuses. The 2-pc bonus imbues 10% Quantum damage while the full 4-pc set bonus makes her ignore 25% of the targeted enemy’s DEF stat - provided they are weak to Quantum.

This particular set can be found within Everwinter Hill's Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Providence, farmable for 40 Trailblaze Power per run.

The “Space Sealing Station” is the recommended set for her Planar Ornaments, thanks to its flat 12% ATK bonus. This set also confers an additional 12% ATK bonus when Qingque’s SPD increases to 120 or above.
