Genshin Impact Qiqi build

Genshin Impact’s Qiqi is an awesome five-star cryo sword wielder… who also happens to be a zombie resurrected by the Liyue adepti. Now in the care of Genshin Impact’s Baizhu at the Bubu Pharmacy, she’s a soft-spoken, forgetful child, but certainly holds her own on the field. Let’s dive into the best build for Qiqi, featuring artifacts, weapons, skills, and talent upgrades so that you can make her the strongest she can be.

If you want to stock up on wishes and primogems for new characters on the Genshin Impact banner, then check out our regularly updated Genshin Impact codes list. We also have a Genshin Impact tier list to see where your favorites land in the meta, plus we have plenty of information on the recent Genshin Impact update for you, too.

Here’s everything in our Genshin Impact Qiqi build:

What’s the best Genshin Impact Qiqi build?

Qiqi’s best build involves having the highest attack stat you can manage – that’s what her healing scales off. You can do this through artifacts and her weapon. However, we recommend a set of Ocean-Hued Clam artifacts to boost her healing. Qiqi doesn’t regenerate energy on her own unless you have her first constellation (let’s be honest, who doesn’t), and has long skill and burst cooldowns, especially when compared to other healers, so bear that in mind.

Here’s a brief overview of our best Qiqi build:

How do I use Genshin Impact’s Qiqi?

The best way to use Qiqi is by activating her elemental skill as much as you can, to continuously heal your active character. Whenever her elemental burst is ready, use that to apply cryo to opponents, and heal the full team by attacking the opponent with Qiqi.

What are the best weapons for Qiqi?

As a standard-banner character, Qiqi doesn’t have a signature weapon, but thankfully her best in slot is the Sacrificial Sword – a four-star weapon easily refined and built. This sword doesn’t have the highest attack stat, but it does give a huge boost to her energy recharge.

At refinement rank five, Sacrificial Sword’s passive reliably resets Qiqi’s elemental skill cooldown, which combats two of her main flaws – a long skill cooldown, and a lack of elemental particles. When paired with Ocean-Hued Clam artifacts, Sacrificial Sword tackles most of Qiqi’s shortcomings and makes her a far more viable healer.

You can equip Qiqi with a Skyward Blade for its high energy recharge. Or, if you’re looking for a more affordable option, a Favonius Sword works well and reduces the strain on her teammates when it comes to regenerating elemental particles.

What are the best Qiqi artifacts?

A four-piece set of Ocean Hued Clam is an amazing choice for Qiqi, offering a significant boost to her damage, even when she’s off-field. This set synergizes particularly well with Sacrificial Sword to maximize its uptime.

Of course, Maiden Beloved also provides a healing bonus, too. If you’re struggling to raise Qiqi’s attack number, then a two-piece of Gladiators Finale – or any of the other attack-boosting artifact sets – are always a good call. Stacking two attack-boosting two-piece sets will work wonders if you’ve got a low attack stat.

Here are the best artifacts for Qiqi:

What are the best Genshin Impact Qiqi team comps?

Qiqi doesn’t really have any specific comps, given that she is a healer – and a good one at that! So she works well with pretty much everyone, but don’t forget her cryo application, as it can help in a freeze or taser comp.

Here are some examples of a strong Qiqi team comp:

First character slot	Second character slot	Third character slot	Fourth character slot
Qiqi	Razor	Sucrose	Zhongli
Qiqi	Eula	Raiden	Beidou
Qiqi	Klee	Sucrose	Xingqiu

What are Qiqi’s constellations?

It can take a lot of luck to max out Qiqi’s constellations, but if you pull more than one of her, you can unlock one of six special abilities called constellations.

Here are all six of Qiqi’s constellations and what they do.

What are Qiqi’s ascension materials?

Keep hold of all your Violetgrass and Hoarfrost Cores from the Cryo Regisvine if you want to ascend Qiqi as soon as possible. You also need to beat up plenty of samachurls for their scroll drops.

You can level Qiqi up to a maximum of level 90, but you need to use certain materials at different times. Here are all the materials you need to fully ascend Qiqi.

What are Qiqi’s talent materials?

Qiqi’s talent upgrades require even more Samachurl scrolls, along with Prosperity talent books (farmed in the Taishan Mansion domain), and Tail of Boreas drops from the weekly Andrius fight in Mondstadt.

Here are all the materials you need to get one of Qiqi’s talents up to max level.

Talent priorities:

• Elemental skill > elemental burst > normal attack
