Overview

  • Healer
  • Off-field Cryo application

Qiqi is a healer first. Her Elemental Skill summons the Herald of Frost, which follows the active character, deals Cryo damage, heals the active character over time and makes her own Normal and Charged Attacks heal the party. Her Elemental Burst marks nearby enemies so that anyone who damages them regains HP, which lets the whole team heal itself just by attacking.

All of her healing scales with ATK, so build ATK and Healing Bonus. The Herald of Frost also adds some Cryo while it follows the active character, which fits Freeze teams and the Snezhnaya Cryo teams built around Stellar Glimmer reactions.

Weapons

Best first. Every sword on this list links to its page.

  1. Sacrificial Sword ★★★★

    The best fit for most players. Energy Recharge helps her burst, and a chance to reset the skill means more Herald of Frost uptime.

  2. Aquila Favonia ★★★★★

    A 5-star option with a large ATK bonus and its own healing burst when she takes damage.

  3. Favonius Sword ★★★★

    Energy Recharge and particles for the team, a good pick when the team is short on energy.

  4. Festering Desire ★★★★

    A free event sword with Energy Recharge and a bonus to Elemental Skill damage.

Artifact sets

  1. Ocean-Hued Clam 4-piece

    Adds Healing Bonus and turns her constant healing into extra damage.

  2. Noblesse Oblige 4-piece

    Gives the party more ATK after her burst. Better when someone else in the team does not already hold it.

  3. Maiden Beloved + Ocean-Hued Clam 2-piece each

    Healing Bonus from both sets. An easy stopgap while you farm.

Teams

  • Stellar-Conduct with Odette

    Qiqi heals the team and adds more off-field Cryo, while Yae Miko provides the Electro that Odette and Sandrone turn into Stellar-Conduct.

  • Ayaka Freeze

    Qiqi's Cryo helps keep enemies Frozen, and her healing covers the team so Xingqiu and Kazuha can focus on Hydro and buffs.

  • Budget Freeze

    Built from 4-stars. Kaeya and Qiqi bring Cryo, Xingqiu brings Hydro, and Sucrose groups enemies and swirls.

Tips

  • The Herald of Frost keeps healing the active character after you swap away, so you rarely need to stay on Qiqi.
  • Use her burst before a hard fight. Every party member who hits a marked enemy heals themselves, which saves her from staying on the field.
  • A character under the Herald of Frost who triggers a reaction gets more incoming healing for a short time, so she heals better in reaction teams.
  • Her constellation 6 can revive fallen party members, but you can build her well without it.

Other character guides recommend Qiqi as a teammate in these teams.
