Yanqing

Yanqing is a playable character in Honkai: Star Rail. He is the youngest lieutenant of the Xianzhou Alliance's Cloud Knights on board the Xianzhou Luofu, and serves as General Jing Yuan's retainer. A gifted swordsman, he possesses prodigious skill with the blade despite his young age, often described as "invincible when he holds a sword." He has a strong passion for swords, eagerly collecting them from the Artisanship Commission. In the game, Yanqing is an Ice-type character who follows the Path of the Hunt, specializing in single-target damage. His abilities include the basic attack "Frosty Blade's Edge," the skill "Three Feet of Autumn Water," the ultimate ability "Swallow's Play in the Raining Sky," and the talent "Phantom Blade." Yanqing's combat revolves around the "Intellect Sword-Heart Link" status, which enhances his attack, critical rate, and critical damage, and provides a chance to trigger extra attacks and inflict Freeze. His additional abilities further boost his performance, such as increased effect resistance, speed upon critical hits, and extra damage against Ice-weak enemies. Yanqing appears multiple times in the main storyline and plays significant roles in several missions.
