Best Drive Disc sets for Qingyi

Qingyi's best 4-piece set is King of the Summit. Astral Voice, Proto Punk and Shockstar Disco are the alternatives, in that order.

King of the Summit Best in slot

4-piece: When the equipper is a Stun character and uses an EX Special Attack or Chain Attack, increases CRIT DMG of all squad members by 15%, and when the equipper's CRIT Rate is more than or equal to 50%, further increases CRIT DMG by 15%, lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Passive effects of the same name do not stack

2-piece: Increases Daze of attacks by 6%. Drops from Words and Weapons.
Astral Voice

4-piece: Whenever any squad member enters the field using a Quick Assist, all squad members gain 1 stack of Astral, up to a maximum of 3 stacks, and lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Each stack of Astral increases the DMG dealt by the character entering the field using a Quick Assist by 8%. Passive effects of the same name do not stack

2-piece: ATK +10%. Drops from Monster Duet.
Proto Punk

4-piece: When any squad member triggers a Defensive Assist or Evasive Assist, all squad members deal 15% increased DMG, lasting 10s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack

2-piece: Increases Shield effect by 15%. Drops from Hunter and Beast.
Shockstar Disco

4-piece: Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters inflict 20% more Daze to the main target

2-piece: Impact +6%. Drops from Hunter and Hound.

2-piece options

For the 2-piece slot the bonus matters, not the set's name. Several sets share the same 2-piece bonus, so Qingyi can take it from whichever one you have spare pieces of:

Impact +6%: Shockstar Disco
Energy Regen +20%: any of Swing Jazz or Moonlight Lullaby (they give the same bonus)
Increases Daze of attacks by 6%: King of the Summit

Qingyi main stats: Disk 4, 5 and 6

Disks 1 to 3 always roll HP, ATK and DEF as their main stat, so the choice is on 4, 5 and 6. A > means "better than"; = means the two are about as good.

Slot	Main stat, best first
Disk 4	CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG
Disk 5	Electric DMG% > ATK%
Disk 6	Impact

Qingyi substat priority

Roll for CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG first. A disc showing neither of those is rarely worth levelling for Qingyi, whatever else it has.

Qingyi W-Engine and skill priority

Ice-Jade Teapot S-rank, Impact sub-stat

Qingyi's signature does everything she wants: 18% Impact, high base ATK, and an easily stacked buff worth another 21% Impact. At half stacks it also hands the whole party 20% DMG Bonus for 10s, a threshold she holds with ease. Great Daze plus team buffs, though few other Stun Agents can use it well.

Questions

What is the best Drive Disc set for Qingyi?

King of the Summit 4-piece, with Astral Voice, Proto Punk or Shockstar Disco as the alternatives. For the 2-piece, any set with Impact +6%, Energy Regen +20% or Increases Daze of attacks by 6% works.

What main stats should Qingyi use on Disk 4, 5 and 6?

Disk 4: CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG. Disk 5: Electric DMG% > ATK%. Disk 6: Impact. Disks 1 to 3 have fixed main stats (HP, ATK and DEF), so only their substats matter.

What substats does Qingyi need?

In priority order: CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, PEN, Flat ATK. The first two are what make a disc worth levelling for Qingyi; the rest are tiebreakers.

Where do I farm Qingyi's Drive Discs?

King of the Summit drops from the Words and Weapons Area Patrol stage, alongside Yunkui Tales. Each run at Lv.60 costs 60 Battery Charge and splits its S-rank discs between the two sets.
