The intricate mechanics of the Qingyi build in Zenless Zone Zero revolve around enhancing the cyborg cop’s ability to stun enemies effectively, thereby allowing her to support her team in combat. At first glance, Qingyi may appear complex, yet her role as a stun agent is straightforward: incapacitate foes to pave the way for your primary damage dealers to unleash their full potential. As an electric stunner, she integrates seamlessly into an ether team alongside Zhu Yuan and Nicole, serving as a viable alternative to Anby. Moreover, her enhanced basic attack applies a stun damage multiplier, making her a strong contender to replace Lycaon in compositions with Soukaku and Ellen.

Qingyi’s electric abilities allow her to deliver continuous electric damage through her basic attack, building up the Flash Connect resource displayed in the top left corner. Upon reaching 75, she can unleash her enhanced basic attack, Enchanted Moonlit Blossoms, which applies a stun damage multiplier to her targets thanks to her core passive. Additionally, her EX special attack inflicts significant damage and daze, making it essential to focus on amplifying her impact for those crucial stuns.
W-Engine: Ice-Jade Teapot or Steam Oven
The premier W-Engine for Qingyi is her S-tier signature Ice-Jade Teapot. This engine grants a stack of Tea-riffic with each enemy hit by a basic attack, increasing her impact by 0.7 for eight seconds, stacking up to 30 times. Achieving 15 stacks or more will buff the damage of all squad members by 20% for 10 seconds, making it an excellent choice for quickly enhancing her impact and stunning foes. Alternatively, if you possess it, Lycaon’s The Restrained provides a 6% damage and daze increase for basic attacks. For those without either option, Steam Oven is a solid choice, boosting impact by 2% for every ten energy accumulated, stacking up to eight times.
Drive Discs: Shockstar Disco (four pieces equipped) Swing Jazz (two pieces equipped)
For Drive Discs, equipping four pieces of Shockstar Disco enhances Qingyi’s impact and allows her to apply daze more frequently, facilitating regular stuns. Pairing this with two pieces of Swing Jazz boosts her energy regeneration, enabling her to utilize her skills more often. If desired, Woodpecker Electro can replace Swing Jazz to focus on critical hits, though prioritizing her skill usage is generally more beneficial given her role.
Regarding base stats on the Drive Discs, the following recommendations are made:
- Drive Disc 4: Anomaly proficiency or crit rate
- Drive Disc 5: Electric damage or energy regen
- Drive Disc 6: Impact
The choice for the fourth Drive Disc is flexible, allowing for either crit rate or anomaly proficiency to enhance her shock damage. In the fifth slot, opt for electric damage bonus or energy regen, particularly if utilizing a W-Engine like Steam Oven. Lastly, impact remains crucial for Qingyi, especially since her additional ability increases her attack by six for each point of impact exceeding 120.
