Qiuyuan brings a fresh style to the Aero Sword class. You will notice right away that he does not just swing his sword for big numbers. He stacks Sword Points with every attack. Each time you land a basic hit or dodge at the right moment, you build up these points. When you reach certain amounts, you unlock special moves that boost your whole team.

Here’s a quick look at how Aero Sword users fit into the current meta:

Role

Description

Primary DPS

Jiyan is a straightforward Aero DPS with excellent grouping and AoE attacks.

Sub-DPS

Ciaccona is recognized as the best Aero sub-DPS unit, significantly enhancing Aero Erosion teams.

Support

Aero Rover acts as both a secondary sub-DPS and support, dealing damage while providing heals.

Qiuyuan stands out because he can fill more than one of these roles. You can use him as a sub-DPS, but he also gives your team strong buffs. His playstyle rewards you for timing your attacks and swapping him in and out at the right moments.

Tip: Try to keep an eye on your Sword Points. The more you stack, the more power you unlock for your team.

Abilities and Synergy

Qiuyuan’s abilities make him a flexible pick for many teams. You will find that his main strength comes from building Sword Points. Every time you use a basic attack or dodge counter, you get closer to unlocking his best moves. At 200, 400, and 600 points, you can use special techniques:

  • Thus Spoke the Blade: Inkwash – Boosts your team’s energy regeneration.

  • Bamboo’s Shade – Gives everyone a big Echo Skill damage bonus.

  • Inksplash of Mind – Raises your team’s overall damage for a short time.

His signature move, Inksplash of Mind, boosts your team’s Echo Skill damage by 40% for 14 seconds. This makes him a great pick if you want to run high-DPS rotations. You can swap him in, use his skills, and then switch to another Resonator for big burst damage.

Qiuyuan also brings strong synergy with other New Resonators, especially Galbrena. His Swordster’s Soliloquy lets him turn Galbrena’s skills into Echo damage. This means you can stack their buffs and hit even harder. His Resonance Liberation gives all allies more critical damage, which helps your whole team shine.
