How Strong is Taoqi?

Taoqi is a slow character who excels at defense to keep her and her teammates alive. She also has strong damage on quick swap teams thanks to her Intro Skill activating her Timed Counters, but is quickly outscaled by other characters who prefer to stay out on the field.

Taoqi's Best Echo Sets

Best Main Echo

Main Echo	Explanation
Bell-Borne Geochelone	・Provides general shield protection for the team when Taoqi is your Sub-DPS. ・Increases DMG dealt and reduce incoming damage. ・Shield effect can transfer to the next character.
Impermanence Heron	・Restores Taoqi's Resonance Energy so she can cast her Ultimate more. ・Increases the next character's DMG dealt, good for a support role for Taoqi.
Stonewall Bracer	・A good early game Echo for when you do not have the Geochelone yet. ・Provides a shield after a successful charge hit.

Echo Tier List

Taoqi Best Sonata Effects

Echo Set	Rating
Moonlit Clouds (5-pc)	★★★ - Best Moonlit Clouds generally increases Taoqi's Energy Regen capabilities as well as increases the ATK of the next character that switches in after Taoqi's Outro Skill. Great for a support character like Taoqi. Unfortunately, we do not have a set that increases DEF yet, so this might change in the future. Recommended Main Echo: Bell-Borne Geochelone

Dauntless Evernight is Taoqi's best weapon since it provides the DEF stat. Take note that ATK stats don't really benefit Taoqi since her DMG scales on DEF.

General Rotation

How to Play Taoqi

Taoqi Gameplay Guide
Resonance Skill Reduces Damage Taken Resolving Caliber Provides Shields with Strategic Parries Resonance Liberation Deals DMG Based on DEF Outro Skill Increases the Next Character's Skill DMG

Resonance Skill Reduces Damage Taken

When Taoqi uses her Resonance Skill, she will generate three Rocksteady Shields. Keep in mind that the Rocksteady Shields aren't actual shields, instead, they only reduce damage from enemy attacks.

When an enemy attacks you while you have a Rocksteady Shield up, one of the Rocksteady Shields will disappear and Taoqi receives a Resolving Caliber stack.

Resolving Caliber Provides Shields with Strategic Parries

Resolving Calibers can be consumed by using Strategic Parries from Taoqi's Heavy Attack "Rocksteady Defense" or a timed use of her Resonance Skill to parry enemy attacks. Resolving Calibers also be consumed through the use of Taoqi's Intro Skill.

When a Resolving Caliber is consumed from a successful Strategic Parry, an actual shield will be produced.

Resonance Liberation Deals DMG Based on DEF

Taoqi's Resonance Liberation can deal a lot of damage and it scales on the DEF stat. Do note that ATK stats will not increase the Resonance Liberation DMG by much compared to DEF.

Outro Skill Increases the Next Character's Skill DMG

Taoqi's Outro Skill can have the on-field character's Resonance Skill DMG Amplified. This increases their Resonance Skill DMG.

Taoqi's Recommended Combos

General DPS and Shield Combo

The video was filmed in the Depths of Illusive Realm, where her Outro Skill cannot be used.

There aren't many combos for Taoqi since she's a very slow character that's reliant on her Resonance Skill being active. As such, this will be her general combo that's used for most situations, both for damage output and shield generation.
