Icy Resurrection (Qiqi Envisaged Echoes) Guide

Icy Resurrection is an Envisaged Echoes challenge to acquire Qiqi's Echo cosmetic in Genshin Impact! See the best strategies, recommended builds for Qiqi, and other information regarding this challenge here!

Icy Resurrection Build

Build Summary

Recommended Weapons	1. Sacrificial Sword
F2P Option	1. Sapwood Blade
Recommended Artifacts	Ocean-Hued Clam x4 Song of Days Past x4
Stats to Consider	ATK, Energy Recharge

For Qiqi's Envisaged Echoes challenge, she actually runs the same build as she normally would, as the challenge focuses on her capabilities as a support.

Weapon Recommendations

Icy Resurrection Weapons
Sacrificial Sword	Sapwood Blade

To maximize Qiqi's usage of her Elemental Skill, we highly recommend using Sacrificial Sword here due to Qiqi's innately long cooldown for her Elemental Skill.

Otherwise, any Energy Recharge weapons available can work as good options to increase Qiqi's Elemental Burst uptime.

Artifact Recommendations

Artifact Sets

Icy Resurrection Artifacts
Ocean-Hued Clam x4	Song of Days Past x4

To leverage some of Qiqi's healing into damage, we recommend using either the Ocean-Hued Clam set, or the Song of Days Past.

It is not recommended to farm the latter solely for this challenge, as Ocean-Hued will be more than enough and is available from the Artifact Strongbox.

Artifact Stats

Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK% or Energy Recharge
	Goblet: ATK%
	Circlet: ATK% or Healing Bonus
Artifact Sub Stats	ATK, Energy Recharge

As with Qiqi's normal builds, we recommend getting a fair amount of ATK%, Energy Recharge, and even Healing Bonus if possible.

Icy Resurrection Strategy

Light the Cryo Monuments

The first part of the challenge requires Qiqi to toggle 8 Cryo Monuments in a short time, which can only be satisfied with one use of her Elemental Skill.

Qiqi's Elemental Skill triggers in 5 intervals with two triggers per interval. On that note, try your best to hit adjacent monuments within the same interval, as Qiqi's Elemental Skill only allows you to miss twice.

Defeat the Ruin Guard

Phase 2 of Icy Resurrection requires Qiqi, along with Fischl, to defeat 1 Ruin Guard in 90 seconds. Note that the Ruin Guard innately has Physical Resistance, and will take more than bruteforcing to defeat.

It is also worth noting that in the 2nd phase, both Qiqi and Fischl will periodically lose HP, and the Ruin Guard gains additional Physical and Cryo resistance as opposed to their Overworld counterparts.

Focus on Using Fischl On-Field

Fischl will be able to do more damage than Qiqi in this scenario, as the Ruin Guard does not have any extra resistance towards Electro.

Fischl also has the benefit of being able to reliably strike the Ruin Guard's weak point to stagger it.

Utilize Fischl's Off-Field Damage

Try your best to maintain Fischl's Elemental Skill uptime, as it will contribute a good chunk of damage against the Ruin Guard. This can allow you to on-field with Qiqi while Oz supports you with off-field damage.

Take Advantage of Superconduct

Using Qiqi's Elemental Skill in tandem with Fischl's can reliably trigger Superconduct, dealing burst damage once every few seconds, as well as decreasing the Ruin Guard's Physical resistance.

Use this often to ensure that you can deal damage efficiently and clear the arena within 90 seconds.

Switch Characters Often

Both Qiqi and Fischl are required to stay alive to the very end, as you will lose a good portion of damage if one of them dies early.

Since both units will be slowly losing their HP, make sure to switch between them in combat to ensure that they can both stay alive using Qiqi's Fortune-Preserving Talismans and Elemental Skill heals.
