Qiqi is a 5 star Cryo character. She is one of the best healers on Genshin Impact. With her, you won't have to worry about anything in the Abyss. She can support your team in any situation. To help you optimize her build, we have written this complete guide on Qiqi from Genshin Impact. Our tips and tricks will help you know which artifacts and weapons to assign to her, and who to play her with in your deck.

How to get Qiqi in Genshin Impact ?

To unlock Qiqi, you will have use the wish feature. However, as she is present in the Standard Wish, you can try to get Qiqi all year long!

Qiqi's wish

Qiqi is one of the five 5-star heroes featured in the Standard Wish " Wanderlust ". You can also unlock Qiqi by losing a 50% by summoning on an Event Banner.

Qiqi Constellations

One of Qiqi's main shortcomings is its very low energy generation. This deficiency is partly corrected with his first constellation. " Ascetics of Frost" gives him 2 elemental energy points each time his Herald of Frost hits an enemy marked by a Talisman.

How to play Qiqi in Genshin Impact ?

Qiqi's gameplay in Genshin Impact is rather simple and relies on his Talismans.

His elemental talent: " Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost " materializes a Herald of Frost that deals Cryo damage to nearby enemies. It remains on the field for 15 seconds. Qiqi's normal and charged attacks then restore your characters' health when they hit an enemy. The healing is proportional to the ATK of Qiqi. And, even if you switch characters, the Herald of Frost continues to heal the active hero.

Qiqi's elemental rampage provides even more healing. When you cast ' Adeptus Art: Preserver of Fortune ', Qiqi marks enemies with a Cryo damage talisman. The members of your team recover HP equal to the damage taken by the marked enemies. You can then attack with Qiqi or switch to another character. Talismans placed on enemies remain active for 15 seconds.

Qiqi can be played as the main DPS, but she will not be the most effective character in this role. Ideally, she should be used as a support character. Cast her elemental attack to heal and apply the Cryo element to promote elemental reactions, then her elemental rampage. Be sure to cast his skills at the right time as the cooldown is quite long.

You are advised to increase his elemental skill first, his elemental rampage last and his normal attack last.

On top of that, make sure to increase his energy recharge; his elemental rampage costs 80 points. We've listed the best weapons and artefacts to equip on Qiqi in Genshin Impact.

This foam accumulates the amount of HP restored, then explodes, inflicting damage up to 90% of the accumulated heal. A sea foam can be generated every 3.5 seconds.
