Qingyi will debut in the first banner of Zenless Zone Zero 1.1 as an Electric character from the Stun specialization. Hence, her role during combat will be to stagger enemies, enabling the DPS character to maximize their damage.

• Easy to build with access to many A-Rank weapons.
• Qingyi’s Core Passive ramps up the Stun DMG multiplier on targets. So, she will be able to stagger enemies quite often.

Cons:

• Her Skill and basic ATK can be difficult to manage since they have different interactions depending on how you activate them.
• The Electric element is saturated with strong characters like Anton and Anby. The latter in particular specializes in Stun fighting style, and you can obtain her for free, so Qingyi has a tough competitor.
