Frankly, elixir syndrome is better. Boldness is something that can and does win battles, but turtling up will get you killed in any rts against someone who knows what they're doing.

This is somewhat inate in human nature. How often have you horded a limited item in a video game, "just in case I'll need it later"?

Ling Qi is a defensive menace has like half a dozen ways of surviving big attacks.
Between wind thief super dodging, Qiyi having burnable perfect protections and a super mode, Qi's new art from kohatu that lets her heal from any injury, her anti death domain ability along with FFS's recharge on finisher I think baiting people into wasting their resources on us is better, especially when we face foes that are known to run away like Renshu, cloud nomads, or the ith.
[X] I would wield it to encourage glory-seeking, to make them willing to sacrifice what they should not for their dreams.

While glory seeing will leave the opponent more vulnerable, it also makes them more likely to cause collateral damage.
Putting people in the defensive is better if we have something or someone we want to protect in the area, making it more universally applicable.
Not always the best move, but very rarely a bad one, let alone the worst.

Who among us didn't die in a shooter because he was using a pistol instead of a sniper rifle in order to conserve ammunition for an emergency that never came?
Who did not end a final fantasy game with 99 unused health potions, while dying in fights these same potions could have helped in?
I would just love to see our adversaries make the same mistakes.
And finally, Ling Qi needs time to get her pain train going. She is an escalating boss fight, most vulnerable in the beginning. Enemies encouraged to go all out early are actually more dangerous for her than ones who concentrate on defense and give her time to build up.

Firstly, long fights work better for Ling Qi, since they give her the time to deploy her constructs and spread her frost DOTs. She has the defenses to fight through those, and she has ways to survive if she makes a mistake or if the opponent attempts to one-shot her.
Secondly, against the Ith in particular, the first option is both more dangerous to them and safer to use, because the root of every non-Sovereign Ith is Sacrifice, and Sovereign Ith require Consensus to exist. Encouraging individual Ith to refuse to Sacrifice both hamper the power of LQ's enemy peers and is a true obstacle for them to create their Sovereigns. Of our other likely opponnents, Cloud nomads being more likely to retreat is a pain if we wanted to kill them all, but that's not what LQ wants, and I have no idea how this would interact with the Jungle... Ah, and I don't think anything that mess with the opponent's mind should ever be used against the ash zombies, because there's probably already something there that's much bigger and hungrier than LQ.
