Get Qiqi's C6 Resurrection

While Qiqi's constellations aren't that superb, her C6 revive can you help you in a pinch. Note that this constellation can only occur once every 15 minutes, and so you'll still need to be careful when dealing with tough enemies!

How to Use Qiqi

▲Back to All Builds and Roles▲

Incredible Healing Abilities

Qiqi's Elemental Skill ”Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost” deals Cryo Damage while healing. This continues even if you switch characters as powerful off-field healing for whichever character you want.

Your characters will barely know the taste of food because Qiqi's Elemental Skill will be all they need to heal!

Can Simulatenously Heal and Apply Cryo

The ”Herald of Frost” ball is present for an amount of time, which can apply Cryo for every few seconds. However, since it applies Cryo relatively slow, try not to rely on it.

On-Hit Healing to all Characters with Elemental Burst

Qiqi's Elemental Burst ”Adeptus Art: Preserver of Fortune” attaches a Fortune-Preserving Talisman to all enemies in an AoE. Once a character deals damage to that enemy, they will recover HP, making it easy to recover large amounts of health immediately.

Be sure to make use of her healing abilities while they are active because Qiqi's drawback is her long cooldowns.-

Periodically Walk on Water

If you need to walk on water, use Qiqi's Elemental Skill to build an ice bridge! Use it carefully though, because the cooldown is too long for you to spam it!

Can Deal Damage While Healing

Take note that Qiqi's healing abilities scale off of her ATK. Building Qiqi to maximize her ATK stat means increasing her damage and healing her party more effectively.

Maximizing her ATK will benefit the party whatever your gameplay is. If you have selfish carries like Razor, it is recommended to increase her healing for them to survive.

Collect Items Easily With Her Passive Skill

Simply having Qiqi in your party will mark the minimap with a small hand icon indicating the location of a Character Ascension material.

Take note that this only detects Liyue specialties.

Thoughts About Qiqi

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Baizhu	Yes, you've guessed correctly. The preservation of a thread of "Qiqi's consciousness was in fact the work of the adepti. It's also thanks to Qiqi that I managed to come up with a way to save someone on the brink of death. Since the adepti took pity on this child and even used their arts to keep her on this side of existence, I thought I'd take the opportunity to keep her around the pharmacy. There's no harm in that, is there?
Chongyun	She looks like a zombie, but as an exorcist, I feel there's... something different about her. Hmm, her name is also absent from all the praised names I've seen... Where exactly does she fit in among the deities?
Hu Tao	Have you seen Qiqi? Tell me where she is, quickly. I need to go seal her away, hee-hee!
Xingqiu	I've always thought there is more to Qiqi than meets the eye. But it's impossible to have a conversation with her when Baizhu's around. Hmm... We could wait till Baizhu makes a home call to one of his other patients and corner her.
Yanfei	I heard that little herb gatherer has written out a whole set of behavioral rules for herself. She may be small, but boy, has she got her head screwed on! She's definitely destined for greatness... ''The young of today shall outperform us tomorrow,'' as they say. I must admit, she has my respect.
Yaoyao	Friends: Qiqi's my best friend! She forgets who I am sometimes but I know she doesn't mean it... I just have to remind her to check her notebook, and she remembers me right away. Forever: I once asked Dr. Baizhu in private if there's any way to cure her, and, um... But it doesn't matter. I'll probably have to keep reminding her who I am for my whole life, but that's okay.

Qiqi's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Baizhu	About Baizhu I can never remember Dr. Baizhu's face. But I don't mind.
Hu Tao	About Hu Tao Warm. Fake Smile. Death. I despise Hu Tao.
Xiao	About Xiao Name: Sounds like a historical artifact to me. Memory: Remind me, have I met him before?
Xinyan	About Xinyan ...Who?
Yaoyao	About Yaoyao Cute. Like a nice little finch.
