Q

Does anyone know how to play Q well? I want to use him in the correct way.

Q can function in a similar way to Roku, in that you let the AI play him and aggro everything, which lets you hit enemies for free.
However later on you'll probably want to play as Q instead, as the AI isn't fantastic with his ability rotations because it uses his secondary often.

For Q, his biggest cons are his long windup on his secondary attack, which unfortunately renders it a pretty huge liability later on since you can't animation cancel and that his second passive (which unlocks at rank 4) is frankly impossible to consistently activate ever. The game is just not designed in a way that lets him consistently do it.

Outside of bosses I'd recommend just playing as someone else like Yo and Iroha and taking advantage of the Q AI aggroing everything. In bosses the playstyle left is to play as Q yourself, when you reach the end of chapter 1 you'll unlock ranks (if you haven't already), and you'll want to add points to the action power and his first passive. Your playstyle will then be to counterattack everything, and spam frantic impale over and over again while activating your strategy skill again when it runs out, since it has the highest %s, the first passive makes it stronger, and it's a very quick ability with built in gapcloser.

This will require you to get good with counterattacks but that's not a bad thing.

Ideally you want to spam his strategy skill at all time. Go berserk when you know its safe to activate it. Then rather use normal evasion, you want to use his Frantic impale to counter enemies. You can also use the strategy skill to get close to the enemy from afar.

When you used up all berserk bar, just go with basic attack 1 & to 2 until the stamina bar recharge then repeat.

I main Q, got 3 videos of him if you want to check it out . https://www.youtube.com/@mayobreaker/videos

Q has one of the strongest ultimates ! Outside of boss battles he can finish 90% of the fights instantly. You have to main him, ambush an enemy (Cause ambush lets you start at 2 tension) - walk abit ahead and then use ultimate. Why walk ahead you ask ? If a big enemy spawns on either the left or right, you target them instead of the middle. Even inside fractal it still works.. cause you probably have him upgraded by then, tho mostly if you invested his talents on offense as well as compatible monsters on atk/crit - ultimate cost reduction also good for boss fights so you can use 2 ultimates in a row when hitting EX tension.

Also.. the biggest advantage of Q is, that it's a melee unit with dodge counter.
(Still wondering why he got max points in Break tho.. doesn't feel as such.. compared to mc)
