Last updated on Jun 05, 2024 at 11:00by Shikhu

Qiqi is primarily played as a healer, ensuring the team stays aliveand fit for combat. Generally using artifact sets that then supportthe team through increased damage or ATK buffs because her healing isso powerful already.

Many of Qiqi's best weapons focus on increasing herEnergy Recharge because her Elemental Skill does notgenerate Energy. Weapons such as Favonius Sword and Sacrificial Sword are great at this.

Sacrificial Sword is also great because it pairs incrediblywell with Tenacity of the Millelith. Sacrificial Swordallows you to have 100% uptime on your Elemental Skill, allowing youto consistently have the effects of Tenacity.

Ocean-Hued Clam is otherwise an amazing option convertingQiqi's healing into pure DMG. Generally speaking Ocean-Hued can be abetter artifact set than Tenacity if you are able to regularly use yourElemental Burst.

Qiqi's healing scales based off of ATK. This means, the more ATK thebetter her damage and healing will be.

As a general recommendation, we would advise aiming for around 220 - 260%Energy Recharge to allow your Elemental Burst to beready when your Elemental Skill ends its cooldown.

With Qiqi not generating energy using Adeptus Art: Herald of Frostyou need incredibly high requirements. The 220-260% suggestion can be lowerin a Cryo-focused team or when usingRaiden Shogun. But may be higher without other Cryo characters.

You generally want to start with Qiqi's Elemental Burst, Adeptus Art: Preserver of Fortune to mark enemies with a Fortune-Preserving Talisman. This dealsAoE Cryo DMG and when enemies that are marked take furtherdamage, you heal.

Combined with Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost your ElementalSkill, you can apply Cryo slowly to enemies. This isnot enough for consistent Elemental Reactions but can help supportanother Cryo character.

If you have Sacrificial Sword you can consistentlymaintain Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost. You otherwise maywant to consider using your Elemental Burst first, and then after 15s,using your Elemental Skill to provide continuous healing.With Ascetics of Frost (C1) however, you want to always pairthem together to generate Energy.

As a powerful healer, Qiqi can be used in a wide range ofteam compositions. Anything that really wants a healer can benefit fromhaving her. Some teams however you may want to consider herCryo application and if it will interfere with reactions.

Because of this, her biggest uses are in Cryo-centricteams such as Perma-Freeze teams. Or pairedwith Furina because powerful healing helps generatefanfare from Let the People Rejoice.

Qiqi is able to fit in really well with Hyperbloom teams, the firstexample using Furina who utilises Qiqi's healingabilities to increase her damage buff while providing Hydroapplication. The second example instead uses Raiden Shogunto deal increased Electro DMG. In these teams Qiqi willnot interfere with the Dendro cores.

Qiqi can be played in various Freeze teams eitheras the Main DPS themselves or as a healer support for another DPS instead.

When Qiqi is the DPS you may need to build them differently. Usingartifacts such as Blizzard Strayer alongsideChongyun or Pale Flame alongsideRosaria for a physical build instead.

When supporting a DPS such as Ganyu or evenKamisato Ayaka. Qiqi can just be played as a normal healer,simply keeping the team alive and providing a small amount ofCryo application for Freeze tooccur.
