2. ⚔️ Basic Attacks and Resource Management: The Secrets of Chi and Sword Soul
· Qingxiao's basic attacks can chain up to 4 times, dealing Pyro damage throughout the combo.
· The first and fourth attacks are classified as 'Silver Sword Stance,' while the second and third are 'Blade Sword Stance.' This distinction is crucial as each stance generates different resources.
· Silver Sword Stance generates 'Chi,' and Blade Sword Stance generates 'Sword Soul.' This means all attacks serve a purpose beyond mere damage, and continuously filling both resources is key.
· When both resources are fully charged, you can use 'Heavy Attack: Profound Sword' to deal powerful Pyro damage and enter the 'Immortal' state. This isn't just an enhanced attack; it's a transition into Qingxiao's empowered combat state.
· In the Immortal state, most powerful skills become available, and aerial combat is naturally integrated. While airborne, you can attack up to 3 times and seamlessly continue with the third attack of the ground combo after landing.
· While airborne, the standard dodge is replaced by 'Sword Dash,' allowing for quick aerial dashes that count as basic attack damage.

3. 🔥 Immortal State and Core Resources: Utilizing Sword Intent
· In the Immortal state, basic attacks, counter-dodges, and aerial attacks are replaced by enhanced versions.
· During this state, a new resource called 'Sword Intent' is accumulated. When Sword Intent reaches its maximum, 'Heavy Attack: Calamity' can be used.
· Calamity consumes the accumulated Sword Intent to deal massive Pyro damage and end the Immortal state. This encourages players to utilize everything possible in the Immortal state before finishing with the most powerful attack.
· Enemies can accumulate 'Seal of Insight' stacks during combat. When a party member triggers 'Harmony Interference,' Qingxiao automatically applies Seal of Insight to the enemy.
· As Seal of Insight stacks increase, the damage of several of Qingxiao's powerful skills (Heavy Attack: Profound Sword, enhanced basic attacks, enhanced counter-dodges, Calamity, Resonance Liberation, etc.) increases. This acts as a major damage multiplier, not just a simple damage buff.
· The 'Celestial Heart' effect activates at the start of combat or immediately after using Resonance Liberation. While this effect is active, Heavy Attack: Profound Sword automatically applies Seal of Insight to nearby enemies, allowing for rapid initiation of damage amplification. It also grants an additional damage multiplier to Calamity, making it even more potent.

4. 🛡️ Defensive Mechanics and Special Movement: Sword Light and Sword Flight
· 'Protective Sword Light' is Qingxiao's built-in defensive mechanism. You gain Protective Sword Light stacks when using introductory skills or Heavy Attack: Profound Sword.
· When taking damage, stacks are consumed, providing damage reduction and interruption resistance for a short duration. This is a crucial survival ability for a main DPS who needs to stay on the field.
· 'Sword Flight' is a unique part of Qingxiao's skillset, offering a dedicated movement state beyond simple mobility.
· In Sword Flight state, you consume Sword Flight energy to move through the air. You can enter Sword Flight state through various actions like using Heavy Attack: Profound Sword, aerial attacks, or specific skills.
· During Sword Flight, you can use 'Swift Sword Escape' for a rapid aerial dash, useful for repositioning during combat or increasing movement speed during exploration.
