Qingque stands out as one of the most unique characters among the many others in Honkai Star Rail. She is an Erudition character with the Quantum element. However, in order to deal AoE damage, she needs to perform a gacha mechanic mid-battle.
Her mechanics make her less reliable as a solo DPS character. Nevertheless, she compensates by being a character that offers enjoyable gameplay. Her mechanics is also the reason why many people in the community calling her Gacha Girl.
Best Light Cones
Qingque uniqueness lies in her skill that incorporates gacha mechanics. You’ll frequently use this skill to acquire stronger basic attacks. Speed is certainly the primary stat you’re seeking for Qingque to ensure she can use her Skill more often.

Relic and Planar Ornaments
For Qingque’s Relic stats, she still aims to acquire Attack, Critical, and Quantum Damage to make her a formidable DPS. However, as mentioned earlier, she also requires a bit of additional Speed to use her Skill more frequently.
When it comes to relic, Qingque best choice is Genius of Brilliant Stars from Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Providence in Everwinter Hill, Jarilo-VI.

Qingque Team?
Although Qingque possesses high damage potential, she requires setup and time to function effectively. Therefore, it’s advisable to pair her with another reliable DPS character or at least a character with high Attack.
You can play Qingque alongside one other DPS character, a support, and a healer. Make sure that other characters in your party don’t waste skill points.
I personally gonna hold her until we two other Quantum character in the next patch: Fu Xuan and Lynx, so we can build full Quantum party with Silver Wolf as debuffer-format. So far we only have 3 Quantum characters: Seele, Qingque, and Silver Wolf.
During battles, you want Qingque to use her Skill at least once per turn to obtain Enhanced Attack. If you have extra Skill Points, you can use her Skill twice. As usual, use her Ultimate whenever it’s available.
