Sub DPS that can Apply Buffs and Shield

Her Outro Skill Buff is Powerful

Her Outro Skill can buff the next character's Resonance Skill. Combine that with her shield to support the other characters.

How to Use Taoqi

A Tank That Blocks Attacks & A Sub DPS

When using Resonance Skill, you will gain 3 Huajin, allowing you to take reduced damage 3 times.. During this time, using the 4th combo of Basic Attack or by receiving attacks, you can fill your Forte Circuit.

Counter Attack Enemy's Attacks To Activate Special Attack

When Taoqi receives damage while on heavy attack mode, or after a period of time a buffed attack will occur. This can also be done during outro attacks.

Gains Shield Through The Buffed Attack

Taoqi gains shield through the buffed attack. This shield will take the damage from enemies' attacks. It is recommended to mind the buffed attack and outro when using Taoqi.

The Shield Can Also Be Used By Teammates

Since Taoqi's shield also applies to the teammates, she works well with characters that are easily knocked off. She can also be a sustain that will replace healers.
