Combat Tips
Approach the enemy, then use Skill 1 to deal damage and gain a shield, followed by Skill 2 for damage output and to start distancing from the enemy.
Finally, use Skill 3 to extend the flight distance of Dream Bubble, then smash it on the enemy after retrieving the bubble.
Use Skill 2 for long-range poke, Skill 1 to dodge damage, and after accumulating quality, enter the fray with Skill 3 to harvest.

Counter Techniques
Detail 1: Mengqi’s mobility has little effect on targeted damage and control abilities. Detail 2: Mengqi is easier to be killed when at low quality.
Detail 3: Burst down Mengqi before she gains too much quality.

Gameplay Tips

Detail 1: Seize the moment of the enemy’s burst to use your ultimate to dodge, which can also extend the flight time of Dream Bubble, increasing its damage—a win-win.

Detail 2: A physical build provides considerable basic attack output under high quality, and at this time, the slowing effect of Dream Bubble is significantly increased.
