Qiubai has some unique pressures when it comes to Mastery consideration. With her S3, she can reach some pretty strong DPS on multiple targets with range. Her Masteries are essential to that purpose, representing a staggering 33% increase in DPS and a 58% increase in total damage. With her strong archetype, Qiubai can be an end-game caliber DPS unit. Yet a brutally long cycle, an RNG Talent, and a reliance on external help to maximize her potential can really bring her value down on some rosters. To the first point, she has a uniquely powerful breakpoint on her primary skill that actually adds a facet to the skill which is not otherwise present. But do not take the presence of a breakpoint to indicate that you should stop at only S3M1! Qiubai's S3 Masteries all the way up to S3M3 are some of the most valuable in the game. However, to the second point and despite those massive gains, Qiubai’s priority still suffers due to some major drawbacks on her kit. The 55 SP downtime is the most obvious, but less obvious is that her S3 has no internal mechanism for Bind or Slow to trigger the extra damage on her first Talent. This leaves her reliant on her second Talent, which has fairly low
