I'm not sure if comparing SR to SSR is good from start. I'll just share my experience as there's also question about Fuuma.


 * Comparison with other SR

Yan Qing, as said by many, is a good star-generator, maybe the best for SR Assassin; his first and second skill cover his need while his third skill pretty much grant him best support for stars on SR Assassin class.

However such abilities come with price. Yan Qing base attack is low. Other notable SR Assassin with good star-gen like Kiritsugu and Summer Scathach easily exceed him on damage department.

This weakness do made me more careful when using him as that means if you pull his Brave Chain, its like we sacrifice high damage on this turn for possible better outcome on next turn, unlike Summer Scathach and Kiritsugu where you gain stars without losing damage; amount of stars given by them surely not as high as Yan Qing, but you got the damage as well.

Just like any other Shinjuku servants, the way to cover such weakness is by using crits. In team capable to keep amount of stars on 15+, that weakness can be dismissed and you're not losing damage thanks to his passive.

Remember that he have no defensive option like other SR Assassin; while he seems to be able to generate good amount of stars that would fit on any team, the best team for him is team that capable to keep good amount of stars each turn--keep attacking with crits while he maintain the amount of stars when his turn comes.


 * Comparison with Jack

Jack can easily fit any kind of team. Yan Qing on other hand is 'I'm good but I can do better on crits-oriented team'.


 * Comparison with Fuuma

If you're looking for easy-to-use support, Fuuma is better with all his trick. The difference became visible against harder enemies like Camelot Knights and Babylon creatures.

Fuuma have no qualms jumping to any situation, but Yan Qing-- as he have no defensive method such as dodge, heal, etc. with that skill set, the best we could do is keeping our attack rate high; playing defensive won't do good for him.

I've tried both with LB Holy Night Sign CE, and Fuuma do better--way easier to use than Yan Qing; I'm doing it without any kind of boost like NP Gain Up or Star Gen Up from skills.
