Menki Skills and Abilities

Dream Eating (Passive): Mengqi gains quality by using skills, with every 10 points of quality increasing 6 physical attack, 8 physical and magical defense. Mengqi consumes 5/15 points of quality per second in combat/non-combat state.
Cooldown: 0s Energy Cost: 0
Tips: Mengqi has good basic attack output and resistances at high quality. Reach this state before getting up close with enemies.

Lingering Dream (Skill 01): Mengqi manipulates dreamforce to gain a 175(+150% physical attack) point shield for 4 seconds, dealing 250(+60% physical attack) magical damage to surrounding enemies and increasing 30 points of quality. Mengqi’s basic attacks on enemies reduce the cooldown of [Lingering Dream] by 0.5-1 seconds. Cooldown: 6s Energy Cost: 0
Tips: This shield skill has good output; try to use it close to enemies.

Dream Bubble (Skill 02) Mengqi throws a dreamforce bubble, increasing movement speed by 30% for 2 seconds. When the bubble first returns, Mengqi strikes it again towards nearby enemies. Dreamforce Bubble deals 130(+20% magical attack) magical damage and slows (1% slow per 25 points of physical attack) for 2 seconds on the path, stacking up to 4 layers. After retrieving Dreamforce Bubble, Mengqi gains 30 points of quality, and the bubble becomes a Dreamforce Bomb, dealing 100(+24% magical attack) to 550(+132% magical attack) magical damage to hit enemies. The longer the flight time, the higher the bomb damage, accumulating to maximum damage after 5.5 seconds.
Cooldown: 10s Energy Cost: 0
Tips: Extend the bubble’s flight time by moving and using your ultimate, accumulating significant damage.

Dream Roaming (Ultimate): Mengqi takes a dreamforce journey, continuously gaining quality and dealing 150(+30% physical attack)(+30% magical attack) magical damage to enemies on the path. Starting the journey grants brief invulnerability; using this skill again immediately stops the journey, dealing 150(+30% physical attack)(+30% magical attack) magical damage and 0.75 seconds of knock-up to surrounding enemies when stopping.
Cooldown: 40s Energy Cost: 0
Tips: Use this skill to dodge the enemy’s close-range burst, then circle back.

Menki Best Partners

• Mengqi lacks control, and dealing sufficient output takes some time. Lian Po can create space and time for Mengqi to deal damage.
• Sun Bin’s speed boost allows Mengqi to extend the Dreamforce Bubble’s flight time more effectively.

Menki Counter and Guide

• Mengqi’s survival heavily relies on frequently using Skill 1 for shields, which is countered by Lu Bu’s true damage.
• Daji’s targeted control reduces Mengqi’s ability to dodge with her ultimate.

Combat Tips
Approach the enemy, then use Skill 1 to deal damage and gain a shield, followed by Skill 2 for damage output and to start distancing from the enemy.
Finally, use Skill 3 to extend the flight distance of Dream Bubble, then smash it on the enemy after retrieving the bubble.
Use Skill 2 for long-range poke, Skill 1 to dodge damage, and after accumulating quality, enter the fray with Skill 3 to harvest.

Counter Techniques
Detail 1: Mengqi’s mobility has little effect on targeted damage and control abilities. Detail 2: Mengqi is easier to be killed when at low quality.
Detail 3: Burst down Mengqi before she gains too much quality.

Gameplay Tips

Detail 1: Seize the moment of the enemy’s burst to use your ultimate to dodge, which can also extend the flight time of Dream Bubble, increasing its damage—a win-win.

Detail 2: A physical build provides considerable basic attack output under high quality, and at this time, the slowing effect of Dream Bubble is significantly increased.
