Yo, what's up agents! It's your boy coming at you with the definitive, no-fluff guide to building Qingyi in Zenless Zone Zero for 2026. If you've been sleeping on this Public Security Agent, you're missing out on one of the most elegant and devastating stun machines in New Eridu. Forget everything you thought you knew from the launch days; the meta has evolved, and so has our understanding of how to make Qingyi sing like a high-voltage symphony.

Her core identity hasn't changed: she's an Impact powerhouse with that sweet, sweet Electric Attribute. Think of her Impact stat not just as a number, but as a tuning fork that resonates with the very fabric of an enemy's stamina bar, shattering it into a million dazed pieces. Her unique shtick is building up that Flash Connect Voltage gauge. Hit 75% and you can hold down her Basic Attack to unleash Enchanted Moonlight Blossoms. This isn't just a fancy finisher; it slaps a Subjugation debuff on the target, cranking up the Stun DMG Multiplier they take. It's like she's handing your DPS a signed permission slip to deal catastrophic damage. Compared to the hyper-focused single-target nuking of a Zhu Yuan build, Qingyi is the graceful conductor who sets up the entire orchestra for a grand finale.

Best W-Engine for Qingyi: Pouring the Perfect Storm

Let's talk gear. The crown jewel, the piece that makes her truly sing, is still her signature W-Engine: Ice-Jade Teapot.

This thing is custom-made for her. Every Basic Attack hit grants a stack of Tea-riffic, and each stack boosts the equipped weapon's Impact by 0.7%. You can stack this up to 30 times, and each stack lasts 8 seconds. Do the math—that's a potential 21% extra Impact! It turns her basic pokes into a relentless, building pressure, like a kettle slowly coming to a world-shattering boil. The catch? It's still an S-rank pull on her dedicated banner, Dissonant Sonata. Gacha is gacha, my friends.

Don't have the Teapot? Don't sweat it! The best-in-slot alternative for 2026 remains The Restrained. This bad boy increases Daze & DMG from Basic Attacks by 6% for 8 seconds after hitting an enemy. It's reliable, effective, and makes her feel like a precision-guided stun missile. It's the trusty backup dancer that never misses a step.

Best Drive Discs for Qingyi: The Shock & Swing Symphony

The disc meta has seen some shifts, but for our electric lady, one combo has stood the test of time and emerged as the undisputed king. You want:

• 4-Piece Shockstar Disco

• 2-Piece Swing Jazz

Let's break down why this is the dream team:

• Shockstar Disco (4-Piece): This set was made for her. First, it gives a flat 6% Impact boost. Then, it cranks up the Daze inflicted by her Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters by a whopping 20%. Every move in her core kit becomes a tool for breaking enemy guards. It's like her fists are wrapped in live wires that short-circuit an enemy's will to fight.

• Swing Jazz (2-Piece): This solves her energy needs beautifully. 20% Energy Regen means her EX Special Attack, "Moonlight Begonia," comes up way faster. More ultimates = more big Electric DMG bursts and more opportunities to control the battlefield. It's the battery pack that keeps her elegant combat rhythm from ever stuttering.

Pro-Tip for 2026 Farming: Remember, you can target these discs by tuning at the Bardic Needle Shop on Sixth Street. Trade those Plating Agents with Elfy for the specific pieces you need. Don't just rely on RNG!

Best Team Comps for Qingyi: Forming the Ultimate Task Force

Qingyi is a team player. Her passive ability, "Three Verses of Farewell at Yang Pass," gives her a 20% boost to Daze from Basic Attacks if there's an Attack-type or same-Faction character in your squad. This is your team-building cheat code.

The classic, tried-and-true combo that still dominates in 2026 is:

Qingyi + Zhu Yuan + Nicole

Let's see the synergy:

Character	Role	Synergy with Qingyi
Zhu Yuan	Main DPS	Triggers Qingyi's passive (Attack-type). Her Special Ops Ammunition boosts DMG to Stunned enemies by 20%. Qingyi sets up the stun, Zhu Yuan cleans up the mess.
Nicole	Support/Debuffer	Shares the Ether Attribute with Zhu Yuan. Her Mechanical Case passive debuff skill adds a massive 25% extra DMG for the team. She's the strategic mastermind enabling both your damage dealers.

This team is a well-oiled machine. Qingyi stuns enemies with the precision of a master watchmaker disassembling a clock. Zhu Yuan then steps in like a tactical nuke on a hair trigger. Nicole ensures every hit lands with the weight of a collapsing star. For your Bangboo, go with Resonaboo or Devilboo to add even more Ether DMG to the mix.

Putting It All Together: The Qingyi Flow

So, your 2026 endgame Qingyi should look like this:

• W-Engine: Ice-Jade Teapot (or The Restrained)

• Drive Discs: 4pc Shockstar Disco / 2pc Swing Jazz

• Team: Zhu Yuan (DPS), Nicole (Support)

Playstyle? Be aggressive. Use her dash attacks and counters to build Flash Connect Voltage. When you see an opening, unleash Enchanted Moonlight Blossoms to apply Subjugation. Switch to Zhu Yuan and watch health bars evaporate. Use Nicole's skills to debuff tough elites or bosses. Rinse and repeat. Her combat flow is less like a brawler and more like composing a haiku—every move is deliberate, building towards a devastating, beautiful conclusion.

There you have it! The ultimate Qingyi guide for the current meta. She's more than just a stun bot; she's the elegant core of a team that controls the pace of every fight. Now get out there, agents, and make New Eridu's streets a little safer (and a lot more shocked)! \U0001f4a5\U000026a1
