Who is Chen Qianyu in Arknights Endfield?

Chen Qianyu is a specialist operator at Endfield Industries and a core member of the Crisis Team. She started training in martial arts when she was young under the guidance of her mother and at Tanjian Hall. All that hard training gave her amazing combat skills and mental strength that most people her age don't have.

Even though Chen Qianyu has never seen the legendary sword called Chi Xiao, she created her own fighting style called Chi Xiao Swordmancy. She uses this style to fight for justice and protect others. Before joining Endfield Industries, she spent years traveling across Talos-II alone with just her sword.

Chen Qianyu joined Endfield Industries after Perlica invited her to the team. She's known for being cheerful and enthusiastic, always ready to jump into action when there's trouble. She prefers taking direct action and getting physical rather than making complicated plans. Her goal is to become someone that both you and Perlica can always count on, just like how her mother's blade was legendary for stirring the clouds themselves.

Chen Qianyu Best Weapons in Arknights Endfield

  • Rapid Ascent is your top choice for Chen. It gives her everything she needs: critical hits, agility, and tons of Physical damage. The weapon gets even stronger when enemies are staggered, which happens a lot in Physical teams.
  • Aspirant is Chen's own special weapon. It works really well with how she fights.
  • Sundering Steel works as a backup if you don't have the other two.

Chen Qianyu Best Team Comps in Arknights Endfield

Chen Qianyu shines in Physical teams because she stacks up Vulnerable effects faster than almost anyone else. Her Battle Skill puts Vulnerable directly on enemies, while her Combo Skill lifts them up which adds another stack. This makes her perfect for teams that need lots of Vulnerable stacks to deal big damage.

The best part about Chen is she doesn't compete for resources. She works great even if you don't give her much SP, letting your main damage dealers use what they need. Since she's free and always available, she fits into pretty much any Physical team you're building. Here are a few comps you can try out with Chen Qianyu:

How to Play Chen Qianyu in Arknights Endfield

Chen's job is simple - keep stacking Vulnerable on enemies so your team can hit harder. Start by using her Battle Skill to put Vulnerable on the enemy. Wait a bit before using her Combo Skill to add another Vulnerable stack through the lift effect.

When Chen's Ultimate is ready, use it right after applying Vulnerable stacks with her other skills. The Ultimate doesn't do anything special besides damage, but it hits really hard. Her second talent also helps by adding extra stagger damage when you interrupt enemies who are charging up attacks, which helps your team break their guard faster.

The basic loop is: Apply Vulnerable with Battle Skill → Wait a few seconds → Use Combo Skill to stack more Vulnerable → Let teammates consume those stacks with Crush or Breach → Repeat. Keep an eye on that 10-second buff timer and you'll do great.
