Chen Qianyu
Physical Guard 5★ Enabler Support tier A Difficulty: Low Endfield Industries Verdict
Non-negotiable Physical enabler: her Lift builds the highest Vulnerability in the game, plus stagger and an ATK buff. Her Combo has a short cooldown and refreshes almost on its own, sustaining the debuff chain that feeds carries like Da Pan, Endministrator and Pogranichnik.
From the EndSync tier index — how placements are decided.

Teams
Chen Qianyu appears in 8 of the 72 curated comps. They're not ranked against each other — on purpose: pick the one that looks fun to play. Open one to see the pitch and the lineup; the full guide is in the app.
Maygi — Physical (Ardelia)
Mi Fu · Chen Qianyu · Pogranichnik · Ardelia
Mid-High CC / Mobs & Elites
Maygi — Physical (Ardelia)
Mi Fu · Chen Qianyu · Pogranichnik · Ardelia
The pure physical core with sustain. Chen Qianyu manufactures Vulnerability, Mi Fu eats it twice per cycle with her double Crush, Pog applies Breach, and Ardelia heals while leaving a very long Physical Susceptibility. The most comfortable of the three.

Maygi — Physical (Lifeng)
Mi Fu · Chen Qianyu · Pogranichnik · Lifeng
High CC / Mobs & Elites
Maygi — Physical (Lifeng)
Mi Fu · Chen Qianyu · Pogranichnik · Lifeng
The same physical core, but swapping Ardelia for Lifeng for a rotation ~10s faster. Lifeng adds an extra debuff and SP that counts toward Vulnerability, at the cost of losing the healing.

YZ — Budget Icebreaker
Mi Fu · Chen Qianyu · Estella · Alesh
Low General / New rosters
YZ — Budget Icebreaker
Mi Fu · Chen Qianyu · Estella · Alesh
YZ's budget icebreaker for low-investment rosters: Alesh freezes, the team stacks 4 Vulnerability without spending the damage Ultimates, and Mi Fu unloads her Crush. A stable infinite loop where every round plays the same.

Zn0nym0us - Mi Fu with Ember (the wall that stacks)
Chen · Ember · Pog; utility — the Ember parry pays 2 stacks and heals
Medium (utility branch) Boss (0 energy start)
Zn0nym0us - Mi Fu with Ember (the wall that stacks)
Chen · Ember · Pog; utility — the Ember parry pays 2 stacks and heals
«Another favorite team of mine when we need more survivability» (1.3 era; part 2 of his Mi Fu guide, with a 0 energy start). Chen is the main Vulnerability source, Pog consumes it cashing SP, and Ember turns the hits from the boss into a resource: swap into the incoming attack, Battle Skill with the Protection from her talent, and her Combo triggers on its own — two Knock Downs that pay 2 stacks for 100 SP, healing included.

Zn0nym0us - Mi Fu with Catcher (the wall with retaliation)
Chen · Catcher · Pog; utility — the shield stacks on its own and the Former Finery heals
Medium (utility branch) Boss (0 energy start)
Zn0nym0us - Mi Fu with Catcher (the wall with retaliation)
Chen · Catcher · Pog; utility — the shield stacks on its own and the Former Finery heals
The twin of the Ember variant (1.3 era): «almost the same, with the Catcher parry if needed and the order of the Battle Skills from Catcher and Chen swapped». His shield blocks, hands out Protection, returns 30 SP and answers every hit with 1 Vulnerability stack; with the Former Finery, it also heals now and then whoever takes damage while Protected. The burst adds the Weaken from the Ultimate of Catcher to the Crush window.

Zn0nym0us - Mi Fu with Da Pan (the stack battery)
Chen · Da Pan · Pog; the wok famous for its Crush, employed here as a generator
Medium (two scheduling rules) Boss (0 energy start)
Zn0nym0us - Mi Fu with Da Pan (the stack battery)
Chen · Da Pan · Pog; the wok famous for its Crush, employed here as a generator
«Da Pan is well known for his strong Crush damage, but on the Mi Fu team we use him as a Vulnerability stack battery» (1.3 era). With an Ultimate charge set and his potential, a single Battle Skill leaves 2 stacks every 45 seconds — the Lift from the wok plus the extra stack from the keystone. The scheduling rule: his Combo goes AFTER the Breach from Pog consumes.

Zn0nym0us - Mi Fu with Ardelia and Lifeng (better than Pog)
Chen · Ardelia · Lifeng; «better result and much easier» — with a formation rule
Medium (easier than with Pog) Boss (0 energy start)
Zn0nym0us - Mi Fu with Ardelia and Lifeng (better than Pog)
Chen · Ardelia · Lifeng; «better result and much easier» — with a formation rule
The last team of the guide and its discovery (1.3 era): «you can substitute Pog with Lifeng — it gave me a much better result and it is much easier to use». Lifeng leaves Physical Susceptibility with his Battle Skill, his Combo gifts the Link that the Ultimate from Chen consumes, and Ardelia adds healing, her double Susceptibility and the damage buff from her Stanza in the burst. Formation rule: Lifeng goes AFTER Ardelia in the team order.

Zn0nym0us - Rossi with Chen and the Endministrator (Crush between sequences)
Chen Qianyu · Endministrator · Akekuri; 4.5/5 damage — the Crush lands BETWEEN the two sequences of the Combo from Rossi
Medium-high (3.5/5 from the author; damage 4.5/5) Boss / Endgame (0 Ultimate at the start)
Zn0nym0us - Rossi with Chen and the Endministrator (Crush between sequences)
Chen Qianyu · Endministrator · Akekuri; 4.5/5 damage — the Crush lands BETWEEN the two sequences of the Combo from Rossi
It took the author a while to find a team that brought out the best of Chen Qianyu and Rossi at once (1.1 era), and the answer was a technique: the Endministrator lands his Crush BETWEEN the first and second sequences of the Combo from Rossi. The trick exists because the Combo from Rossi tolerates its Vulnerability getting consumed midway — the second sequence restocks the stacks anyway — so the Crush cashes all four and Rossi recovers them on the spot. Damage 4.5/5, difficulty 3.5/5: it is a matter of timing.
