Qingxiao Overview
In Wuthering Waves, Qingxiao is a 5-Stars Aero character and uses Sword during the fight.
Qingxiao Mechanism
Qingxiao’s kit revolves around filling two Forte resources, entering Ephemeral Transcendence, and building a third resource for her finishing Heavy Attack. She also uses Mindlock to increase the damage of several key attacks.
Forte Gauge Overview
Qingxiao starts with two Forte resources: Qin Heart and Sword Cadence. Each can hold up to 100 points.
The left half of the Forte Gauge represents Qin Heart.
The right half represents Sword Cadence.
Hits from Sheathed Stance moves and Resonance Skill – Severing Note: Judgement generate Qin Heart. Hits from Drawn Stance moves generate Sword Cadence.
When both Qin Heart and Sword Cadence are full, the Forte Gauge changes and the Normal Attack icon lights up.
Hold the Normal Attack button to consume all Qin Heart and Sword Cadence and enter the enhanced Ephemeral Transcendence state. Qingxiao then gains a new Forte resource called Heart Sword Intent, which can hold up to 100 points.
Hits from Basic Attack – Ephemeral Transcendence and Dodge Counter – Ephemeral Transcendence generate Heart Sword Intent.
When Heart Sword Intent is full, the Forte Gauge changes again and the Normal Attack icon lights up. Hold the Normal Attack button to consume all Heart Sword Intent, deal damage, and exit Ephemeral Transcendence.
Skills
Qingxiao uses different attacks and Forte resources in her normal and enhanced states. Her Resonance Skill and Resonance Liberation remain available in both states.
Normal-State Attacks
In her normal state, Qingxiao has separate ground and mid-air attack chains. She does not have a regular Heavy Attack, so holding the Normal Attack button continues her normal ground or mid-air combo until her special Heavy Attack becomes available.
Ground Basic Attack Stages 1 and 4 generate Qin Heart. Stages 2 and 3, as well as Dodge Counter, generate Sword Cadence.
After Dodge Counter, Qingxiao can continue directly into Basic Attack Stage 4.
After casting Tune Break, she can continue directly into Basic Attack Stage 3.
Her mid-air attack has three stages. All three generate Sword Cadence.
Mid-air Attack Stage 3 brings Qingxiao back to the ground. She can then continue into ground Basic Attack Stage 3.
While Qingxiao is in mid-air, her Resonance Skill is replaced by Mid-air Attack Stage 3.
When Qin Heart and Sword Cadence are both full, hold the Normal Attack button to consume both resources and cast the first enhanced Heavy Attack, Heavy Attack – Stringblade. This attack deals damage and sends Qingxiao into Ephemeral Transcendence.
Resonance Skill
Qingxiao’s Resonance Skill has a standard version and a follow-up version.
Severing Note: Judgement
The standard Resonance Skill generates 45 Qin Heart. Qingxiao can follow it with Basic Attack Stage 4.
Severing Note: Ascendant
The follow-up skill has no cooldown. It deals damage, counts as a Drawn Stance move, generates Sword Cadence through its hit, and sends Qingxiao into the air.
Forte Circuit: Ephemeral Transcendence
Casting Heavy Attack – Stringblade sends Qingxiao into Ephemeral Transcendence. Her normal attacks and Forte resource then change.
Ephemeral Transcendence uses a four-stage aerial attack chain. If Qingxiao starts attacking from the ground, she automatically launches into the air.
Her Forte resource becomes Heart Sword Intent, with a maximum of 100 points.
Before Heart Sword Intent reaches 100 and unlocks her finishing Heavy Attack, the DMG Multiplier of her enhanced Basic Attacks is increased by 100%.
One complete four-stage Basic Attack combo fills all 100 points of Heart Sword Intent.
When Heart Sword Intent is full, Qingxiao unlocks Heavy Attack – Heaven’s Reckoning: Ephemeral Transcendence. Hold the Normal Attack button to consume all Heart Sword Intent, cast the attack, and exit Ephemeral Transcendence.
Resonance Liberation and Intro Skill
Resonance Liberation – Billows Beneath Heaven is a high-multiplier attack that deals direct Aero DMG.
The Liberation should be used after Heavy Attack – Heaven’s Reckoning: Ephemeral Transcendence. The finishing Heavy Attack removes Heaven’s Clarity, while the Liberation grants Heaven’s Clarity again. Using them in this order refreshes the buff for the next cycle.
Intro Skill – Tonality Shift immediately grants 30 Sword Cadence and gives Qingxiao Resonant Chime. Her next cast of Resonance Skill – Severing Note: Judgement then grants an additional 30 Qin Heart.
Outro Skill
Outro Skill – Lingering Song is a pure damage Outro. It deals Aero DMG equal to 800% of Qingxiao’s ATK.
Qingxiao Buffs and Special Mechanics
1. Mindlock
Qingxiao can apply a stacking effect called Mindlock to enemies. It normally has a maximum of 15 stacks, increased to 25 by Resonance Chain 2.
For each Mindlock stack on the target, the damage it takes from Qingxiao’s specified skills is Amplified by 2%. Each of the first 7 stacks provides an additional 5% DMG Amplification.
After unlocking Inherent Skill – To Know, To Banish, those same skills also deal 2% more damage per Mindlock stack, with an additional 5% increase per stack for the first 7 stacks.
The affected skills are:
Heavy Attack – Stringblade
Basic Attack – Ephemeral Transcendence
Dodge Counter – Ephemeral Transcendence
Heavy Attack – Heaven’s Reckoning: Ephemeral Transcendence
Resonance Liberation – Billows Beneath Heaven
How to Build Mindlock
1. Gathered Mind
After unlocking Inherent Skill – Sea of Thought, World of Dust, Qingxiao gains 1 stack of Gathered Mind upon entering combat. Gathered Mind can hold up to 15 stacks.
The first time a team member deals damage to an enemy, that enemy receives Mindlock equal to Qingxiao’s current Gathered Mind stacks.
When the team defeats an enemy whose Mindlock stack count is higher than Qingxiao’s current Gathered Mind count, her Gathered Mind is raised to match that enemy’s Mindlock. This allows her accumulated stacks to carry over to later targets without loss.
When Qingxiao has Gathered Mind, the first Tune Break used against a target with Tune Strain – Shifting additionally inflicts 1 stack of Tune Strain – Interfered.
In practical terms, the first Tune Break applies 2 stacks of Tune Strain – Interfered, while later Tune Breaks apply 1 stack each.
2. Tune Strain – Interfered
Whenever a Resonator in the team inflicts 1 stack of Tune Strain – Interfered on a target, the target also receives 1 stack of Mindlock.
Inherent Skill – To Know, To Banish adds another effect: whenever a team member inflicts Tune Strain – Interfered on an Overlord Class or Calamity Class target, that enemy receives 1 additional Mindlock stack.
3. Heaven’s Clarity
While Qingxiao has Heaven’s Clarity, casting Heavy Attack – Stringblade inflicts 3 Mindlock stacks on nearby enemies.
Short Mindlock Summary
In the original author’s summary, Qingxiao applies 1 Mindlock when she first damages an enemy after entering combat. Each later Tune Break adds 2 Mindlock, or 4 against bosses. Heavy Attack – Stringblade adds another 3 stacks. When an enemy with Mindlock is defeated, its stack count can be carried over to later targets through Gathered Mind.
2. Heaven’s Clarity
Qingxiao gains Heaven’s Clarity when entering combat or casting Resonance Liberation – Billows Beneath Heaven. Casting Heavy Attack – Heaven’s Reckoning: Ephemeral Transcendence removes it.
Heaven’s Clarity provides two main effects:
In Qingxiao’s normal state, the rate at which Sheathed Stance and Drawn Stance attacks generate Qin Heart and Sword Cadence is increased by 100%.
Casting Heavy Attack – Stringblade inflicts 3 Mindlock stacks on nearby targets and enhances Qingxiao’s next Heavy Attack – Heaven’s Reckoning: Ephemeral Transcendence:
Its DMG Multiplier is increased by 100%.
It builds additional Off-Tune Level on the target.
Switching to another Resonator removes this enhancement early.
For Qingxiao’s rotation, cast Resonance Liberation after Heavy Attack – Heaven’s Reckoning: Ephemeral Transcendence. The finishing Heavy Attack consumes Heaven’s Clarity, and the Liberation immediately grants it again. Also, do not switch characters between Heavy Attack – Stringblade and the finishing Heavy Attack, or the enhanced finisher buff will be lost.
3. Swordlight Ward
Casting Intro Skill – Tonality Shift or Heavy Attack – Stringblade grants 1 stack of Swordlight Ward, up to a maximum of 1 stack.
When Qingxiao takes damage from an enemy attack, she automatically consumes Swordlight Ward to gain interruption immunity and reduce the damage taken by 60% for 1 second.
Qingxiao does not have any special clauses that convert her attacks into a single damage category. As a result, her damage is spread across several types, with Basic Attack DMG, Heavy Attack DMG, and Resonance Liberation DMG all contributing meaningful portions of her total output.
Qingxiao Kit Summary
Qingxiao’s basic rotation is to fill Qin Heart and Sword Cadence, cast Heavy Attack – Stringblade to enter Ephemeral Transcendence, fill Heart Sword Intent, and finish with Heavy Attack – Heaven’s Reckoning: Ephemeral Transcendence. Cast her Resonance Liberation afterward to refresh Heaven’s Clarity for the next rotation.
Her damage grows as Mindlock stacks build on the target. Gathered Mind helps preserve this setup between enemies, while Swordlight Ward gives her a short defensive window during combat.

Qingxiao Resonance Chain
Suggested Resonance Chain
The Percentage shown is damage boost of the Resonance Chain.
S1
S1 increases Qingxiao’s Crit. Rate, which allows her to use a Crit. DMG main stat on her 4-Cost Echo more comfortably.
It also increases the maximum stacks of Swordlight Ward to 2. Heavy Attack – Stringblade grants another stack, giving Qingxiao a noticeable improvement in comfort and resistance to interruption during real combat.
When Qingxiao enters combat, S1 also gives her an extra hit with a 400% ATK multiplier. This hit has a built-in 100% target damage-taken increase when all 25 Exorcising Seal stacks are consumed, making her much smoother to use while exploring the open world.
S2
S2 increases the damage of Heavy Attack – Stringblade, raises the Mindlock stack limit to 25, and increases the Mindlock applied by Heavy Attack – Stringblade from 3 stacks to 6.
Its main value is higher rotation damage during longer and more difficult boss fights.
S3
S3 increases the Crit. DMG of Qingxiao’s Resonance Liberation by 100%.
Each Mindlock stack also increases the DMG Multiplier of Heavy Attack – Heaven’s Reckoning: Ephemeral Transcendence by 3%. At 25 Mindlock stacks, the attack can reach 1.75 times its original damage.
The first Tune Break against a target now applies 3 stacks of Tune Strain – Interfered instead of 2. This provides a large damage increase and builds Tune Strain faster.
S4
S4 provides only a small overall improvement.
S5
S5 is also a relatively small damage upgrade, although the reduced Flight Qi cost improves the duration and comfort of Sword Flight.
S6
S6 makes targets take 40% more damage from the following attacks:
Heavy Attack – Stringblade
Heavy Attack – Heaven’s Reckoning: Ephemeral Transcendence
Resonance Liberation – Billows Beneath Heaven
Juque Perdition, the extra attack granted by S1
It also allows Qingxiao to regain Exorcising Seal during her rotation, letting the S1 Juque Perdition attack trigger multiple times instead of being limited to the start of combat.
Juque Perdition can also benefit from both Mindlock damage effects. For each Mindlock stack, its damage is Amplified by 2% and increased by another 2%. Each of the first 7 stacks provides an additional 5% to both effects.
Finally, Qingxiao’s response to Tune Strain – Interfered is increased by 20%, effectively multiplying the related final damage effect by 1.2.

Calcharo
Calcharo primarily uses the enhanced Basic Attack and enhanced Forte Circuit after using Resonance Liberation for damage output. In the series of damage output after using Resonance Liberation, the damage ratio between Resonance Liberation and Basic Attack is approximately 2.2:1. Additionally, the Resonance Skill can be released at intervals, allowing full enjoyment of the permanent five-star weapon’s effects.
After using Resonance Liberation, Calcharo gains a new Basic Attack model. The multiplier for this attack is related to the level of Resonance Liberation, but the main proportion of his damage comes from the “Death Messenger” in Forte Circuit. Resonance Skill can be used during the Liberation period to interrupt Basic Attack combos, quickly generate Forte Circuit Energy, and trigger “Death Messenger”. The main components of his damage output consist of these three elements.
Encore
mong the permanent 5-star Fusion DPS characters, Encore enters an enhanced state and changes attack mode after activating Resonance Liberation. The main source of Encore’s damage comes from Basic Attacks after activating Resonance Liberation, not the Forte Circuit. Additionally, the cooldowns for Encore’s regular Resonance Skill and the enhanced Resonance Skill during Resonance Liberation are independent of each other.
In Encore’s damage output after activating Resonance Liberation, Basic Attack damage accounts for nearly 70%. Choosing Sanhua as a teammate can maximize her damage potential.
Sanhua
Although Sanhua has burst capabilities, the overall damage is not high. In Sanhua’s output cycle, Resonance Skill damage and Resonance Liberation account for approximately 51% and 41%, respectively.
Although Resonance Skill damage is slightly higher, there is a risk of missing in actual combat. Sanhua has a unique Forte Circuit trigger mechanism similar to rhythm games, and hitting enemies can cause a slight time-stopping effect.
Sanhua has the fastest Concerto Energy and Resonance Energy acquisition efficiency in the game, making it the most versatile and best-feeling support in the current version. After using the Intro Skill, Sanhua only needs 3 seconds to fully charge Concerto Energy and trigger QTE, activating the Main DPS for output. Our team composition recommendations for various characters also show Sanhua’s high versatility.
