- the best thing about yanqing leading up to jingliu was that the farming used for him didn't go to waste.. they both share the same relic set, and use the same substats because of the free critical rate in their kit.. lol
"Dr Ratio is the second limited hunt character" did we just completely forget about Topaz...? 😭
that's cuz most people treat her as a support😂 I sometimes forget about her as well

Wtf is a sharp blade🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
I’m a yanqing main..
That names kinda... yikes
I love Yanking so much 😇
I love "Yanking" so much 😨☠️
Young man: "Yep it feels great to be at the top!"
Jingliu: "Young man... Thats my throne... Get out."
*Sad young man noises*
Fail!
I'm hoping that Aventurine will make Yanqing at least useable again. They do synergize pretty well with each other, Yanqing has follow up atks to give Aventurine stacks faster, and Aventurine's shields are so strong that Yanqing can have his soulsteel buff at 100% uptime.
The multipliers aren’t big enough and his follow up attack is not consistent. At best you’ll average 4-6 cycles on ice weak content
@@Saberdud yeah the rng on the follow up atk is kinda annoying on Yanqing. I think it's only 60% at talent lvl 10. tbh they should have made it guaranteed as long as he was in the soulsteel state.
@@Saberdud just Topaz if you have her or Dr. Ratio.
Yanqing is usable, why the ppl is excited at adventurine wtf
Aventurine shield has better uptime and better scalings* than Gepard, for when you dont want Yanqing to take any damage at all @lilie4575
Yanqing was the character i was most excited for when i first started playing the game. I got him day one on the beginner banner on my first try, no rerolls, as my first five star. I couldn't have been happier. He was the first character i leveled to max, he carried me through the early game, and he is absolutely the only chance I had to 3 star Aventurine in MOC, which btw, I did. Yanqing got me to where I am today and despite his flaws, despite all the things he requires to perform, (Massive shields, tons of skill points, Tingyun/Ruan Mei/Some other hypercarry support) I will always stand by him. I skipped Jing Liu because I have Yanqing. I do not regret it at all. Is he easy to use? No. Is he easy to build? No. DOES HE TWO SHOT MOST ENEMIES THAT AREN'T BOSSES? FUCK YEAH HE DOES!!!
Respect to you for sticking with him, I am a Blade main since his release and people nowadays shit on Blade because he isnt on the same level as Jinglu, DHIL etc. but I never will abandon him as my main. One day Blade will get insane 5 stars that synergize so well with him may it be harmony or abundance/preservation units just like how Yanqing got Aventurine now.
@@ken68.Well blade isn't exactly a DPS. Hes best for chip damage(sub dps) really. I have him, I pair him with jingliu cause their a great pairing but man just doesn't have the damage output for an actual dps
@@dragonmaster3030 He needs hp based harmony units. Some possible options: HP drain, damage increase based on hp loss, max hp increase etc.
Blade & Jingliu team is satisfying @@dragonmaster3030
tbh i was shocked when ppl said he was terrible when he carried my early days with damage way higher than any other characters i invested in.......
I really hope we get a support that increases fixed effect chances for the team, thus making Yanqing consistently land his follow-up. It can also open the option of a perma-freeze team, maybe even running no-sustain, which would be an amazing buff for Potential Man.
pela gives 10% EHR to all her allies with her a4
@@wrenromero6392 Oh my bad, I meant fixed chances (there's currently no way to increase the probability of Yanqing activating his follow-up attack, because it's based on a fixed number).
@rinoakirova1548 if there was a way to increased fixed chances, then they aren't fixed. What?
@@rinoakirova1548 Hoyo just did him dirty with a gamble on his follow up attack, honestly it should've been guaranteed if you have soulsteel up.
Despite of all of this, Yanqing was my first 5* and he carried me along with Seele back in 1.0 MoC. He remained as my DPS until I got Jing Yuan and Clara. After that, he graduated from my teams and never used him again. One thing I could say is that he is a good early game character, he can help new players to progress quite significantly in the story with barely any effort at all.
I mean new players can literally just use 4 stars like xueyi or sushang the game doesnt require us to use a 5 star for everything hell pure fiction's S tier is a 4 star. I used to clear MOCs and SUs with just sushang and danheng back then because i was saving for kafka
He can't kill any boss after jarillo
any dps can clear early game lol its actually bad that that's the only thing he has going for him
does early game even need a carry too?
That's not even a compliment every character can carry you in the early stories even free 4 stars are enough
As a big Yanqing fan I pull only for characters that help him and their eidelons/lightcones
I got e2s1 Ruan Mei
i Got e2s1 Aventurine
I plan on getting e2s1 Sparkle (she's e0 for now)
and I plan on getting anything good that will be for him
Hoyoverse made a character I love so damn much, his personality, his story, he gives me will to live.
And I hate being harassed for liking Yanqing.
I hope they will release Abundance 5* limited Yanqing in the future, as there is a lot of hope for that thanks to Abundance Yanqing theory
Yanqing is so damn important to me, he's not just a character.
Numbers are not important, what is important is enjoying the game.
I jinxed myself saying how I wanted my first standard five star to be Yangquing because I liked his design...but then I saw his involvement in the story and found him to be an annoying child. Now, he spooks me in my 50/50 losses and now I have him at E3. I refuse to use him even though I finally hit the 300 standard wish mark to get Gepard who is now my favorite standard five star character.
Edit: even at launch, I already knew Bailu would become mid because I would find out that debuffs would multiply as the game progressed. The only one who offered cleanse was Natasha and I knew she'd be powercrept when five star healers would be introduced
Yanqing unironically carried me in moc 12 this month cause I paired him up with aventurine, (he has sleep like the dead s3)
@@liquid1830 Just want an honest yanqing main answer, is he actually good? I got him E1 but with only Herta Shop Lightcone
Finally. Someone who also thinks of Yanqing as an annoying brat 😃
Seriously tho, ive always hated that kid
@@jerryeljeremy7790 he's definitely not as bad as people think. his damage can be high but he needs gepard or aventurine to function. not everyone has these units and even with them he is worse than dr. ratio, who was given out for free and synergizes with many upcoming and current characters.
his eidolons are also terrible, so getting copies of him means nothing unlike other standards such as welt or clara. he might be better in the future with apocalyptic shadow coming in 2.3 but right now he is not worth the investment.
overall, he's just okay.
Hello fellow e3 yanqing player 😢
I honestly think people are overblowing how bad Yanqing really is, putting him in D tier is honestly crazy, I feel like he was always B or AT WORST C tier. He still does good damage and his main issue is just keeping up his sync state. With aventurine now I feel like this is even less of an issue since his shielding is more consistent than Gepard.
On another note I do think Ruan Mei was a great buff to Yanqing and did do a LOT to address issues of enemies hitting him since faster break = easier to freeze the enemies with ice break and the fact that they remain broken for longer gives yanqing more of an opportunity to refreeze.
He isn’t bad, but many four and five stars have better relevancy and generalization in their specialized route
All the 5 star Dps better then him
Your reasoning is exactly why Yanking is so bad. Dude needs Very specific support characters, which literally work as crutches for him, tô dish out dmg other characters can deal with much less investment
@@MrDuarte22 But D tier? I think that's going too far, you're putting him on the level of the worst 4 star DPS characters.
At least with the specific support characters you can still do some solid damage. Some 4 star characters cannot hit the same levels of damage even WITH their optimal teammates.
yanqing, the king of bad eidolon can be, even amongst other five stars standard banner character yanqing eidolon can't be compared with them.
@@inazuma7792 Only his E4 and E6 are really good, and his E6 still is a conditional eidolon with you having to knock out the opponent for the extended buff. Yanqing's eidolons are bad not because they're actually terrible. If they were on a different unit they'd be fine. The issue is that his eidolons don't really do enough to fix his issues.
Crit buffs behind high Ult cost has E2 and E6 to help but 10% energy regen barely changes anything with his rotation unless you get enough of his rng FuAs and E6 requires a knock out.
Speaking of his rng FuAs, his eidolons do nothing to help with that. If he had a eidolon where his chance of landing a FuA was increased like how Gepard's Frozen chance is increased to a base 100% on his skill, that'd be good. But then again the two aren't exactly the same as Yanqing's is fixed while Gepard's is base chance so not the most balanced comparison but you get my point.
And lastly the high skill points consumption and lack of turn advance. For a Hunt unit, Yanqing feels very sluggish to play even when compared to the four stars. He can only rely on his speed and teammates for extra turns/attacks. For example, Sushang has action advance in her base kit and Dan Heng has one from his E4. But Yanqing's eidolons do nothing for him in this aspect. The fact that he has to spam his skill and greatly loses out on damage if not is a big issue too. Another Ice character who benefits from using his skill often is Misha, and he has a skill point regeneration ability tied to his Ultimate to counteract the skill spam.
Despite his rank, I will still use Yanqing especially since he has helped me do much from yhe beginning of the game. I just hope Aventurine helps him out. I really do hope the devs do something about this at least.
Dude, I just loved the halo soundtrack in your video, I almost cried with emotion here, and your video was really good, if I hadn't seen that you had 12k subscribers, I would probably still think you had around 500k
nice pfp
i saw the blurred out qiqi and screamed don't scare me like that T0T >:(
Funny thing is he's kind of redeeming himself in the new Aventurine MoC 12 fight, his and Gepard's freeze are invaluable against Aventurine's gamble mechanic
I think the community just hates to use characters that need a shield support because everyone wants to play the game on auto. Arlan and Yanqing just got buffed because of aventurine to negate full damage. And if Yanqing's FUA hits his damage is on par with Jingliu ngl.
Ah yes lemme hope for a 60% fua so that I can deal equal damage to a character that does it consistently
@@hypemaddox Jingliu dmg isnt consistently, Jingliu is a Nuker, and Yanqing is also a Nuker
Gepard still the best pure defense character
@@lilie4575 jingliu dmg is consistent because nothing can take you out of the enhanced state simply activate and deal your dmg 2-3 turns (which is also quite consistent)
Yangqing relies on a lot of rng:
Dont take any dmg of any form to hp.(Easier said than done,with you relyingon either gepard or aventurine two 5 stars you don't or do have and also dont instantly solve the problem cause if you move to fast in gepards case or get attacked with too many st attacks in aventurines case).
65% FUA chance (which holds a good portion of dmg).
Ult buff also relies on you not getting hit and lasts 1 turn.
Jingliu is not a nuker because most of your times is and should be spent in the enhanced state which lasts a good while yangqing has 1 turn of a massive multiplier that is also heavily rng dependent at that.
Gepard has nothing to do with yangqing being bad and he is not the best pure defense character it's aventurine:
Higher shield due to stacking.
Can refresh off skill and FUA.
And a case can be made that Fu xuan is a better defense character for any team that doesn't include yanqing or arlan.
@@hypemaddox without ty or even with HH she doesnt generate enought energy to sustain the strong form, and if you lose the state you loss 1 turn and need to ramp up the attack again
what's even the point of this video? to tell us how you disliked using the character? because everything else is *obvious* to anyone who plays the game.
When I rolled for Jingliu several days ago I've lost my 50/50 to Yanqing and got his 2nd eidolon.
Thank God I had some tries left and got Jingliu right after
I lost Acheron to him. It was well that I was half-heartedly pulling for her, lest I became livid at that time, as I was when I lost Jingliu to Himeko's E1.
Same I also lost Acheron to him, but I got her 11 pulls later so it’s fine
I lost Acheron to Yanqing too:(
HoYoverse actually did buff character in the past, maybe not in Star Rail but in Genshin they did I bet we all remember the Zhongli incident
i wasn't around at the time but i heard that at the time his shield is barely stronger than Diona's shield, and it resisted geo damage. i also heard that you have to choose between shielding or Pillaring. and worst of all pre buff ZL is interruptable, and with animations that long that's gonna be a pain in the butt to get the shield.
wish they did upgrades for old/outdated kits like other games do along with animation updates
People regarded Yanqing one of the best 5* character must be lacking reading comprehension. He was my first 5* and just by looking the condition for his optimal damage was enough for me to never use him.
Most people on the internet suffer a lack of reading comprehension.
Gacha communities never change and it cracks me up :,D Everyone's yapping the same shit ad infinitum as if there's "the best way to play" these games. I just played break teams (along with DoT from Kafka's debut) since the game's launch week without ever caring any of this meta bullshit. Sushang and Xueyi still clear MoC 12 with ease when properly built and supported, although bringing DoT Acheron & Black Swan, F-up e4 Bronya and Critka is pretty fun way to beat new floors too.
If I had Yanqing (the game keeps giving me Bronyas and her light cones....) I'd try F-up permafreeze. A lot of SPD and EHR with the new Penacony relics, SPD based SimUni rope and sphere along with that one Hunt light cone which noone ever uses ("Subscribe for more"?) since Yanqing's ultimate wouldn't contribute much towards freezing enemies anyway.
"This character is terrible, don't use it, it has one of the lowest use rate of the game"
Me, that plays only unpopular and terrible heroes: *INVEST*
2:24 Content creators still pronouncing "Seele" as "Seal" after the game's been out for a year moment
Probably did this on purpose so that "Yanking" doesn't get upset.
I've won my last three 50/50 Sparkle, Acheron and Aventurine. In waiting for that little bastard to show up
Take my luck then, you will be pleased to have e58 yanqing
@@Anika9691 I'm skipping Robin and Boothil and have 190 pulls for Firefly so I'm covered either way. But I bet i'll get him regardless
Added with yanqing alt universe is widely hated by hi3rd player. You can see him in the lowest
Bro really thought apocalyptic shadow would save yangshing
What would be cool is, imagine HSR introduces aging mechanic and in some time, say 1 year later Yangqing gets a new version of himself as an adult, with better kit and all players who have him to get the option to switch between his child and adult version, like how we can switch the trailblazer... Maan one can dream 😅😅
@Xochi_Mictlan69 I feel like march is going to end up more like the trailblazer than DHIL. Ala, f2p.
I don’t have Himeko, Bronya, or Clara yet, but you know who I did get? E3 Yanqing 😭 but Star Rail characters are so good that even he’s better than half of Genshin’s cast lol
Aventurine also helps him out quite a bit. With his shield having better uptime and effect res added on, it helps Yanqing keep his buffs up. I don't think it saves him but for any one who wants to give him a shot it's not hopeless.
Aventurine shield is night and day difference.
He's Usable with him
Just gotta pair him with 2 Harmony or, 1 Harmony and 1 debuffer.
Full team right there.
Or YQ, SubDPS, Aven and Harmony unit.
I have a team specifically for Yanqing, I call it the don't touch me team, ensuring maximum shield and aggro away from Yanqing, I have better options, but sometimes I prefer using something normal and it's great to have more options for Simulated universe
'' DPS are momentary, but Supports are Forever. They'll always be there to Upgrade and Buff your MAIN DPS and the rest of your team whenever you need them, with time, newer stronger DPS will appear, but the Supports will never lose their utility and as more come, each will help your teammates in different ways, so there isn't such a thing as '' Best DPS'' in a gacha game you can easily buy the Damage of a character and win any argument through money since the game will allow you to- or any game in general since everything ends up receiving the power-creep treatment, in time most DPS will be outlived by another, and there will be way too much.
But you know, supports will always be there, far and few alike, but always ready to aid. ''
This guy with remembrance is sweet
He only got better because aventurine came out. But he quite literally relies on you having a shielder who are both 5 stars to consistently keep his buffs up. He could’ve been incredibly great if the stupid “if he gets hit he Becomes shit” ability wasn’t apart of his kit. But welp we can’t have a standard character be TOO good I guess
Been rolling for Bailu and almost have 300 pulls with only one five star and two light cones😭
I think that boss mode wont help yanqing and just boost dr ratio even further instead, cos follow up attacks have a lot better supports rn with robin aventurine and jade coming next, and before even thinking about beating ratio he still has jingliu, seele, and boothill to worry about because all of these characters have better synergies with the new supports (seele w monoquantum, JL is just better yanqing, and boothill with harmony MC and ruan mei) so i dont think yanqing is gonna be good again like ever 😭
bailu is right there
Seele was my go to character 😂as main dps the moment I got Argenti she has never seen the light from the dungeon
May I ask what the music used for this video is from? It sounds really familiar
Why in that tier list he has Trailblazer as rank E?
the beta becuase its a beta shouldent have a dang gacha sstem unless had limited pulls and your simply reset after beta is done, shouldent they just give access to ALL carractors but maby put a timer on some them to FORCE peaople to test other charractors? and maby the timer also wears off after using other chars a while.
YANKING WILL ALWAYS BE MY GOAT 🗣🗣🔥🔥
I remember how he was considered to be as good as Seele, if not even a bit better by some people
i failed my 75/25 lc pity, i was doing acheron and i got his lc :skull:
They powercreeped unreasonably hard. that's all.
Hey is IL not consistent enough for you
I feel like you should of went into a mihoyo game expecting every standard to be power crept

im a yanqing main, and even i can admit that his dmg is GARBAGE... well... unless ur me hehe... eh
i just lost robin 50/50 to yanqing this is really rubbing salt into thy wounds
sorry to hear about the tragedy.
You're not alone, I also lost the 50/50 on Robin to him.
I've been saying he was terrible since day 1 and no one believed me😂
Still sobbing on the fact that i got him e1 in LAUNCH. He was my first 5* from both standard and departure warp, I'll never forgive him 😭
Can't wait for you to regret this statement once the new endgame releases
I doubt anyone will regret it as:
-We have a better free option in the form of ratio for anyone playing till 2.1.
-I doubt unless they make it heavily punished to do AOE attacks (sort of like taking the AOE dmg they will deal) it will make using destruction characters or characters like acheron/jingyuan/argenti who have single target nukes useless.
Yangqing problem isnt that he is a hunt character but simply because his kit is awful:
Multipliers are quite mediocre.
Heavy powerlocked behind an ult with an insane energy cost.
FuA chance is laughable.
Has no out of turn attacks/action forward or speed manipulation (something even sushang has).
He is honestly not just one of the worst 5 stars but worst characters.
He can clear content if invested in but why waste that investment on him
I feel like a single target game mode is still good for destruction characters. Yes yanqing may be good in a hunt focused mode, but expect to see still high usage of destruction characters.
Unless they make blast or aoe attack in that mode heal enemies, like "excessive damage from aoe or blast attack that doesn't hit the boss will heal the boss" then that's the only way they will force you to use hunt in this mode

@@boiledliddo it wouldn't be so bad it his eidolons were even remotely useful. i used him out of pure spite and his E4 resulted in me dealing 1-2k more dmg. welt deals more damage with his E1 on the same build than all of yanqshit's buffs combined. I genuinely don't know how my fairly awful build with 80/120 (more like 170 cdmg with ult and talent buffs) crit ratio and 2.6 atk yanqinq with ruan mei did 20k on skill and barely 60 with his ult.

Right now Yanqing and Misha are the only ice DPS options for people pulling mainly for male characters, since both Jingliu and Silver Wolf are expensive limited waifus.
@@ancalyme you made a problem for yourself and are now complaining about that problem (If you play for characters/husbando/waifu collecting you also have to understand that might not relate with meta so you cant really complain about that especially since the game is a yr old) otherwise in like 95% of scenarios misha is a better ice dps than yangqing to answer that question.
(It would not be hard to make an upgrade to yangqing and they already exist as misha)
I don't understand Mihoyo's reluctance on buffing characters, that would fix a lot of problems v1.0 characters have vs the currently released ones (like seele's dmg mods). Games like FGO even lock the buffs behind story content, sure that's not ideal, but it's a good method to incentivize players and it gives a sense of future proofing
Mihoyo does buff characters but only in hi3rd and it’s still pretty rare for them to buff the really old characters. Like bronya HoR and Mei HoT got buffed by of the new signature weapon hoyo gave them and it literally had to change the character’s skill and without the new weapons they are practically useless.
@@stopme5687 buffing by adding a weapon is not really a buff though, just a new gacha weapon (unless they make it free). Its still better than nothing though
Tbf, FGO buffs took years to implement, and even now in NA we don't have all of them.. If Mihoyo, however, decides to follow the same/similar example to FGO and have Interlude/Rank-Up quests for older units, I'm guessing the same amount of time would pass before that's ever even considered. It's possible, yes, but perhaps not for a very long time.
Honestly, downgrade him. He can be the first 3 star character. Also, the whole 4/5 star thing makes no sense now that I think about it.
They could buff 1.0 characters and/or do what FGO does with rank up quests for the upgrade.
But it's gonna be a long time that you need teams to make your low tiers into mid tier
I have him E1, I got him from the Beginner banner and Standard Banner but have never Lost a 50/50 to him. I have lost a 50/50 to Himeko, Welt, Gepard, Clara, Bailu, and Bronya (Bronya's the Only unit I have lost the 50/50 too twice) (She's E2 currently cuz I used 300 selector on her). Throughout all of the pulls I have done in HSR from the SW banner to the Aventurine Banner. (Though I have never lost a 50/50 to Yanqing) Which I don't think will last forever but cool I guess.
Hate him all you want, but you cant deny hes got some very good single target damage capabilities, definitely the best non-linites single target dps we have
I still use Yanqing a lot, he feels pretty good in a Sparkle Bronya Aventurine team. Better than Jing Yuan at least.
I'm the type who only pulls for characters I like, and most of the characters I like are male characters - so I don't have access to Silver Wolf or Jingliu or even Ruan Mei. Designs like Ruan Mei or Black Swan make me uncomfortable. It's unfortunate how much the game gates power behind pulling for limited waifus in a game that markets itself to both. I'm glad they released Aventurine at least and that Dhil was overturned for his time or I'd be in huge trouble (and probably drop the game).
when i first started playing, i really wanted yanqing bc i liked him a lot as a character. and then i got him, made him my main immediately, and then got jing yuan. the moment i did, my yanqing usage decreased significantly, and then i got acheron, lowering the yanqing usage rate to zero.
but i do have to give credit where credit is due - yanqing carried me all throughout early game. he was a good character then, and even with the shittiest of builds (i have no clue on how to build characters in this game tbh) he was still an alright unit.
Yanqing might not be strong per se, but he's a lot more comfortable to use now than he used to be. Aventurine's shield is so thick you can pretty much brute force most fights. For anyone lacking jingliu, he's an acceptable ice dps.
He was my first 5 star
Literally quit after that
I came back and he's still bad
It's crazy
People keep bringing up Aventurine but like, why even bother when Ratio uses Aventurine just as well, if not better
Because if you have ratio and yanqing, then ratio is able to go into a second team with debuffers and still do well. Yanqing 100% needs aventurine to not be absolute dogwater
@@griffin955Then just don't play him would be a better solution. Unless ofcourse if he's your "husbando".
@@alansdish6608 the fucking child💀
in hoyoverse, yanqing is even worst than qiqi. qiqi still consider as a solid healer in genshin and can give decent amount of damage for a healer with kokomi artefact. meanwhile yanqing was actually feel like a 4 stars version of jingliu. which is sad because yanqing and jingliu was a 5 stars character
I had him in the 2nd Beta and, even then, I found his damage laughable. The 2 characters I found to be the worst day 1 there, well atleast day 1 when the game came out, were Yanqing and Arlan. And those are to this day the worst 2 in the game. And quite frankly, I am not even sure there is a simple way to fix those two. Their kits just don't work in this game at all, and they are only getting worse over time
I remembered people (who lost 50/50 in Seele banner) even yapping about how good he is compared to Seele lol. What a time
