Tips on the Qing Mao
Skills Upgrade
To avoid wasting gold (which will be lacking in the future) on unnecessary abilities, it is recommended to pump the following skills:
Qing Long – in the priority of pumping abilities is in the third place. Swings after 4 and 2 abilities.
Spear of Dawn – is ranked second for priority rolls, and swings after 4 abilities.
Dragon’s Claw – Not pumped at the early and mid-game stages. Each level adds 0.1%, which is very, very low, and it’s not recommended to swing this ability until level 130.
Open Heart – The first priority ability to pump is pumped at the first opportunity. It is the ability that allows your physical pack to deal a lot of damage.
Skins
First, the Phoenix Shape 
is swung for Dodge.
After that, the Basic Shape 
is swung for Dexterity.
The Spring Shape 
for Physical Attack and
the Masquerade Shape 
for Piercing Armor are the last to be rolled, because other heroes will need Dexterity Stones in your stack. That’s why the Phoenix Shape and the Basic Shape are the first priority, the rest are swung after you pump other characters’ Skins.
Glyphs
The priority of character improvement is as follows:
1. Health
2. Dodge
3. Agility
4. Physical Attack
5. Armor Piercing
Artifacts
– Swings to 3 stars, after that evenly with the third artifact swings.
– Swings in priority after the first artifact is pumped up to 3 stars.
– After pumping the second artifact swings evenly with the first.
Conclusion
Excellent front line fighter with control skills and, most importantly, with armor reduction for enemy fighters and tanks. High evasion skills allow putting her in packs with evasion (Aurora, Dante), or with a team that needs armor piercing (Galahad, Keira, Ginger). A great choice for a beginner. If properly pumped, helps you feel comfortable in the Arena/Grand Arena, as well as in Outland. Great help in the campaign against the bosses. Recommended for the right physical attack pack.
