Thoughts About Qiqi

Character In-Game Thoughts
Genshin Impact - Baizhu ImageBaizhu 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?
Genshin Impact - Chongyun ImageChongyun 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?
Genshin Impact - Gaming ImageGaming Ah, Qiqi, the lovable munchkin. She's convinced that all my accidents are due to stiff joints, so whenever I'm at Bubu Pharmacy stocking up on medicine, she makes me do some stretches with her to limber me up, haha. It's easy, wanna try? Ok, after me: One, two three, four; two, two, three, four...
Genshin Impact - Hu Tao ImageHu Tao Have you seen Qiqi? Tell me where she is, quickly. I need to go seal her away, hee-hee!
Genshin Impact - Xingqiu ImageXingqiu 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.
Genshin Impact - Yanfei ImageYanfei 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.
Genshin Impact - Yaoyao ImageYaoyao 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
Genshin Impact - Baizhu ImageBaizhu About Baizhu
I can never remember Dr. Baizhu's face. But I don't mind.
Genshin Impact - Hu Tao ImageHu Tao About Hu Tao
Warm. Fake Smile. Death. I despise Hu Tao.
Genshin Impact - Xiao ImageXiao About Xiao
Name: Sounds like a historical artifact to me.
Memory: Remind me, have I met him before?
Genshin Impact - Xinyan ImageXinyan About Xinyan
...Who?
Genshin Impact - Yaoyao ImageYaoyao About Yaoyao
Cute. Like a nice little finch.

According to this guide, it is not recommended for qiqi to use two of her top three weapons. Goes to show that even the guide tells you not to build her lol.

Blizzard Qiqi is great against Electro units. Just equip her Cryo type Goblet and sword. Chongyun for infusion. Hydro units for freeze. Electro Units for superconduct. Add Shenhe too for Cryo and physical resistance shred.
