Qingyi is a formidable S-rank Electro stun Agent under the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team.

In this ONE Esports guide, we’ll explore how to create the perfect Qingyi build, turning her into an essential powerhouse for your team.
Best Qingyi build in Zenless Zone Zero
Qingyi build: Recommended W-Engines
Qingyi’s gameplay revolves around stacking her voltage meter by unleashing a barrage of electric attacks on her third attack sequence.
Once her voltage meter is charged to 75%, Qingyi can dish out an empowered fourth attack that can apply Daze to the enemy.
While unleashing her barrage attacks, you can execute a dodge counter without interrupting the combo, giving you the chance to charge her voltage meter without getting interrupted.
Her W-Engine selection should focus on amplifying these strengths and enhancing her ability to stun enemies while complementing her gameplay mechanics and playstyle.
| W-ENGINE | STATS | W-ENGINE EFFECT |
| Ice-Jade Teapot | Base ATK: 713 Impact: 18% | Ringing Melody: When a Basic Attack hits an enemy, gain 1 stack of Tea-riffic. Each stack of Tea-riffic increases the user’s Impact by 1.4%, stacking up to 30 times, and lasting for 8s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. Upon acquiring Tea-riffic, if the equipper possesses stacks of Tea-riffic greater than or equal to 15, all squad members’ DMG is increased by 32% for 10s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack. |
| The Restrained | Base ATK: 684 Impact: 18% | Binding Chains: When an attack hits an enemy, DMG and Daze from Basic Attacks increase by 12% for 8s, stacking up to 5 times. This effect can trigger at most once during each skill. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. |
| Steam Oven | Base ATK: 594 Energy Regen: 50% | Thick Broth: For every 10 Energy accumulated, the equipper’s Impact is increased by 3.2%, stacking up to 8 times. After Energy is consumed, this bonus remains for 8 more seconds. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. |
| Six Shooter | Base ATK: 594 Impact: 15% | Fire!: The equipper gains 1 Charge stack every 3s, stacking up to 6 times. When launching an EX Special Attack, consumes all Charge stacks and each stack consumed increases the skill’s Daze inflicted by 5.8%. |
| Hellfire Gears | Base ATK: 684 Impact: 18% | Passionate Construction: While off-field, the equipper’s Energy Regen increases by 1.2 per second. When using an EX Special Attack, the equipper’s Impact is increased by 20% for 10s, stacking up to 2 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. |
| Precious Fossilized Core | Base ATK: 594 Impact: 15% | Behemoth Hunter: When the target’s HP is no lower than 50%, the equipper inflicts 16% more Daze to the target. When the target’s HP is no lower than 75%, this bonus is further increased by 16%. |
Ice-Jade Teapot stands as the best W-Engine for Qingyi, offering the highest base attack and a powerful stacking mechanic that boosts her Impact significantly. Once you acquire enough Tea-riffic stacks, not only does Qingyi’s Impact skyrocket, but the entire squad benefits from a massive damage boost.
The Restrained is another strong option, especially for those who want to focus on amplifying Qingyi’s Daze effects. The stacking increase in damage and Daze makes it easier for her to keep enemies locked down while dealing steady damage.
For a free-to-play choice, Steam Oven is an excellent pick for stun Agents. It maximizes energy regeneration and offers a reliable boost to Impact for each energy point accumulated, ensuring that Qingyi’s damage output remains high even during extended fights.
For the Battle Pass option, Six Shooter is ideal for players who want to enhance Qingyi’s EX Special Attacks. It somehow performs similar to other W-Engines, but this one allows her to build Charge stacks over time, which can be consumed to boost the Daze inflicted by her EX Special Attacks. This setup is great for players who prefer dealing burst damage.
Koleda’s signature W-Engine Hellfire Gears is a viable option for stun Agents who enjoy using EX Special Attacks regularly. The increased energy regene while off-field allows her to quickly recharge and get back into the action. Additionally, the Impact boost provided by the EX Special Attack helps her maintain the Daze effect on the enemies.
Lastly, Precious Fossilized Core shines when dealing with high-health enemies. It’s particularly effective in situations where Qingyi needs to focus on single-target damage. The increased Daze effect when the target’s HP is above 50% or 75% ensures that she can consistently release high damage.
Qingyi build: Recommended Drive Discs
Qingyi’s playstyle benefits from Drive Disc combinations that enhance her ability to inflict Daze and maintain high energy levels for her skill rotations.
These Drive Disc selections are ideal for players who focus on maximizing Daze buildup or prioritize energy regeneration, ensuring a steady flow of power for unleashing abilities.
| QINGYI DRIVE DISCS | DRIVE DISC DESCRIPTION |
| Shockstar Disco | 2-Pieces: Increases Impact by 6%. 4-Pieces: Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters inflict 20% more Daze to the main target. |
| Woodpecker Electro | 2-Pieces: Increases CRIT Rate by 8%. 4-Pieces: Landing a critical hit on an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, or EX Special Attack increases the equipper’s ATK by 9% for 6s. The buff duration for different skills are calculated separately. |
| Swing Jazz | 2-Pieces: Energy Regen increases by 20%. 4-Pieces: Launching a Chain Attack or Ultimate increases all squad members’ DMG by 15% for 12s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack. |
| Thunder Metal | 2-Pieces: Increases Electric damage by 10%. 4-Pieces: As long as an enemy in combat is Shocked, the equipper’s ATK is increased by 28%. |
For a build focused on maximizing Daze, the combination of 4-piece Shockstar Disco and 2-piece Woodpecker Electro or Thunder Metal is ideal. Shockstar Disco’s 4-piece bonus significantly increases the Daze inflicted by Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters, which complements her playstyle.
Pairing it with Woodpecker Electro adds a critical rate boost, allowing Qingyi to consistently land critical hits that enhance her overall damage, while Thunder Metal bolsters electric damage, synergizing well if Qingyi’s attacks are infused with Electric damage.
Alternatively, for those focusing on energy recharge,the combination of 4-piece Shockstar Disco and 2-piece Swing Jazz or Thunder Metal works well for players who frequently use Qingyi’s skill.
The Shockstar Disco set ensures Qingyi inflicts substantial Daze, while the Swing Jazz set increases energy regeneration, allowing her to unleash her skills more frequently. This setup is perfect for players who want to maintain a constant flow of abilities and maximize their uptime in battles.
