Qingxiao is a 5-star Aero Sword Resonator from Mengzhou, headlining Phase 1 of Version 3.6. Her full upgrade cost has surfaced from beta testing, and most of it can be stockpiled before she arrives so you can level her the moment her banner goes live.
Quick answer: To fully build Qingxiao at Level 90 with every Forte node maxed and Cloud Jasper at Level 90, gather 182 Autopuppet Kernels, 46 Solidarity’s Loneflame, 60 Blade Blossom, 34 Mech Core, 215 Wing Polarizer, 26 We Who Question, and roughly 2,530,000 Shell Credits.
Note: These figures come from V1 beta data and can change before launch. Kuro Games has confirmed Qingxiao’s rarity, element, and weapon type, but her kit numbers and material list are not final.
Total Qingxiao materials for a full Level 90 build
These totals cover ascension to Level 90, all five Forte branches at Level 10, and the signature sword Cloud Jasper leveled to 90. Use them as your stockpiling target.
| Material | Total needed |
|---|---|
| Autopuppet Kernel (all rarities) | 182 |
| Solidarity’s Loneflame | 46 |
| Blade Blossom | 60 |
| Mech Core (all rarities) | 34 |
| Wing Polarizer (all rarities) | 215 |
| We Who Question | 26 |
| Shell Credits | ≈ 2,530,000 |
Qingxiao ascension materials (Level 20 to 90)
Ascension unlocks each level cap as you push from 20 to 90. The kernel demand here is light compared with her skill upgrades, so the boss drop and local specialty are the bigger commitments.
| Material | Total |
|---|---|
| LF Autopuppet Kernel | 4 |
| MF Autopuppet Kernel | 12 |
| HF Autopuppet Kernel | 12 |
| FF Autopuppet Kernel | 4 |
| Solidarity’s Loneflame | 46 |
| Blade Blossom | 60 |
| Shell Credits | 170,000 |
Qingxiao Forte materials (all skills to Level 10)
Maxing all five Forte branches, Basic Attack, Resonance Skill, Forte Circuit, Resonance Liberation, and Intro Skill, is where the bulk of the cost sits. This is also where the weekly boss drop becomes your hard limit.
| Material | Total |
|---|---|
| LF Autopuppet Kernel | 25 |
| MF Autopuppet Kernel | 28 |
| HF Autopuppet Kernel | 40 |
| FF Autopuppet Kernel | 57 |
| We Who Question | 26 |
| Broken Wing Polarizer | 25 |
| Monowing Polarizer | 28 |
| Polywing Polarizer | 55 |
| Layered Wing Polarizer | 67 |
| Shell Credits | 2,030,000 |
Cloud Jasper signature weapon materials
Cloud Jasper is Qingxiao’s 5-star signature sword, carrying 500 Base ATK and a 36% Crit Rate secondary stat at Level 90. Its passive raises the wielder’s ATK, stacks an Aero DMG Bonus after applying Tune Strain – Shifting, and adds a defense-ignore effect at max stacks. These are the materials to take it from Level 1 to 90.
| Material | Total |
|---|---|
| LF Mech Core | 6 |
| MF Mech Core | 6 |
| HF Mech Core | 10 |
| FF Mech Core | 12 |
| Broken Wing Polarizer | 6 |
| Monowing Polarizer | 8 |
| Polywing Polarizer | 6 |
| Layered Wing Polarizer | 20 |
| Shell Credits | 330,000 |
Where to farm every Qingxiao material
Her farming routes split across two regions. The character materials sit in Mengzhou, while the Mech Cores and Wing Polarizers for Cloud Jasper come from Lahai-Roi content.
| Material | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| Autopuppet Kernel | Autopuppet enemies in Mengzhou (Xuanfang Hold), such as Stone Picket, Porcelain Picket, Kernel Puppet, Fog Lionarch, and Aureate Picket. Also from the Store, Mengzhou Forgery Challenges, and Supply Packs. |
| Solidarity’s Loneflame | World boss Myriad Snare: Rustfire Chassis in Western Fang Peaks, Mengzhou. |
| Blade Blossom | Local specialty gathered in Mengzhou (Xuanfang Hold, Southern Yuan Hills, Eastern Xuan Peaks), plus 15 per week from Huaxu Apothecary. |
| We Who Question | Weekly boss reward from Thousand-Puppet Pavilion (the Denia weekly boss), capped at 3 per week. |
| Mech Core | Clamoring Tacet Discord enemies in Lahai-Roi, including Sabercat Reaver, Geospider S4, and Spacetrek Explorer, plus the Mech Abomination world boss. |
| Wing Polarizer | Forgery Challenge, either Fallen Sanctum in Etching Plains, Lahai-Roi, or Cloudfall Chasm near Preening Pool in Mengzhou. |
Farming order and the one thing you can’t rush
We Who Question is the only hard time gate. At 3 claims per week with no way to speed it up, gathering all 26 copies takes roughly nine weeks of weekly boss runs. Unlock Thousand-Puppet Pavilion and start clearing it on day one of 3.6, and the rest of her kit will finish while you wait.
Blade Blossom only blooms at night. During the day the flowers stay closed and cannot be picked, so switch the in-game clock to night before running your gathering route, and don’t skip the weekly 15 from Huaxu Apothecary.
For kernels, farm the low-rarity LF drops in bulk and synthesize upward at the 3:1 ratio, which is more efficient than chasing high-rarity drops directly. Mech Cores fall from several mechanical enemies, so clearing robot-heavy areas during daily exploration builds a stockpile quickly. For Wing Polarizers, run the highest Forgery Challenge tier and downgrade any surplus high-rarity drops at the Synthesizer rather than farming lower tiers on their own.
What you can stockpile before Version 3.6
Shell Credits and Resonator EXP materials are universal and never expire, so you can bank them now. Aim for at least 3 million Credits to cover ascension, Forte, Cloud Jasper, and Echo leveling with a buffer to spare.
Everything specific to Mengzhou, the Autopuppet Kernels, Solidarity’s Loneflame, Blade Blossom, and We Who Question, is locked behind the 3.6 update and cannot be obtained in advance. If you plan to pull Jingran in the same patch, note that both characters share Solidarity’s Loneflame and Autopuppet Kernels, so double your Loneflame target to 92 and budget your Waveplate accordingly.
Qingxiao is expected to launch in Version 3.6 Phase 1, with the patch estimated to go live around August 20, 2026. No exact release time has been confirmed yet, so keep your material list flexible and cross-check it against the in-game requirements once the update is live.
