Qingxiao is a 5-star Aero Sword main DPS. All details are from beta leaks and may change.

Expected rotation involves weaving stances through basic attacks and skills to fill both primary gauges, transforming into Ephemeral Immortal Form, building Mind-Sword Intent with enhanced attacks (including mid-air), and finishing with the form Heavy Attack plus Resonance Liberation for burst. Aerial combat and Sword Riding are core to her identity. She appears designed as a Tune Strain / Concord-focused carry who benefits from supports and sub-DPS units that rapidly apply Interference and help manage Mind Lock stacks.
