This page of our Genshin Impact guide is fully dedicated to Qiqi - hero representing the Cryo element. You will learn general information about the character, what he is best suited for, how to build him well, and in which team he will have the greatest potential to perform his role.
General information
Qiqi is a 5-star hero of Cryo element fighting with a sword. Her strong point is enormous healing potential. When it comes to disadvantages, we have difficult applying of Cryo on enemies and long skill cooldowns.
When building this hero, focus on improving statistics such as ATK%, Energy Recharge, and Healing Bonus.
Best team compositions
- Cryo Healer - Xiao / Venti / Qiqi / Zhongli
- Cryo Healer - Keqing / Chongyun / Qiqi / Zhongli
Cryo Healer Build
Qiqi will easily heal all allies up to full health with her Elemental Burst. To make her reach full potential, focus on improving Energy Recharge and Healing Bonus.
- Artifacts - 4x Ocean-Hued Clam / 4x Tenacity of the Millelith / 4x Maiden Beloved
- Weapons - Skyward Blade / Sacrificial Sword
The first recommended artifact set for Qiqi is 4x Ocean-Hued Clam. It gives 15% bonus to Healing, and with full 4-Piece set, when healing allies, Sea-Dyed Foam will appear. For 3 seconds, it accumulates all healing done by Qiqi. After 3 seconds, it will explode, dealing damage equal to 90% of accumulated HP. This set is more focused on Explosive damage rather than Permanent as was the case with the previous artifact set.
The second choice - 4x Tenacity of the Millelith - is also perfect for Qiqi. 2-Piece bonus increases Qiqi HP by 20%. 4-Piece bonus makes ATK of allies increase by 20% and Shields by 30% when Elemental Skill hits an opponent. Both effects last 3 seconds, but the effect can be activated every half second.
Another good artifact setup which will work well with Qiqi is 4x Maiden Beloved. It improves Healing efficiency by 15% and using Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst will make your party members receive 20% additional Healing for 10 seconds.
The most suitable weapon for Qiqi is Skyward Blade. This is a five-star weapon, so it can be quite difficult to obtain it. However, it increases Energy Recharge and CRIT Rate by 4%. Moreover, after using Elemental Burst, your movement speed and attack speed will be increased by 10, plus damage from normal and charged attacks will be increased by 20%.
A slightly less effective, but nevertheless equal choice is Sacrificial Sword. This weapon also grants you Energy Recharge bonus. Moreover, once an enemy is hit with Elemental Skill, you have a 40% chance of lowering the cooldown on this ability to 0. This effect may occur once every 30 seconds.
Talents
Talents are special abilities divided into Combat and Passive categories. In case of Qiqi, you should develop these talents in this order:
- Cryo Healer - Adeptus Art: Preserver of Fortune, Adeptu Art: Herald of Frost, Ancient Sword Art
Constellations
Qiqi, as it is often the case with 5-star heroes, is already formidable on C0. Truth be told, further constellations improve her slightly. But if we had to make a choice, it would be C6, as with it, after using Elemental Burst, you'll resurrect fallen allies and replenish half their health. However, this effect can occur only once per 15 minutes.
