Qiqi Best Team Comp

Qiqi can be your team's healer that can provide utility with Off-Field healing and Cryo Application.

Physical Teams

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Eula	Raiden	Rosaria	Qiqi
Razor	Kaeya	Fischl	Qiqi
Qiqi	Fischl	Beidou	Shenhe

With her Off-Field healing that periodically applies Cryo to enemies, Qiqi can be used in Superconduct teams.

She would need to have another Cryo character just in case, as her Cryo application might have some downtime.

Qiqi Perma-Freeze Team

Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS
Qiqi	Wriothesley	Kazuha	Furina
Qiqi	Chongyun	Mona	Xingqiu

Qiqi is able to perform as both a Cryo Applicator and a Healer for certain Freeze teams, including one featuring Wriothesley and Furina due to Qiqi's Healing Marks that both units can use.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

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!

Qiqi Talents and How to Use

Normal Attack

Elemental Skill

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.

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!

Elemental Burst

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.

Passive Talent 1

Passive Talent 2

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.

Passive Talent 3

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?
Gaming	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...
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.
