How to build Qiqi as healer support in Genshin Impact

Best weapon: Sacrificial Sword

Alternatives:Skyward Blade, The Flute, Favonius Sword

If you’ve pulled enough times to have Qiqi on your team, chances are you’ll have pulled at least oneSacrificial Swordalong the way. This easily obtainable 4-star Sword just so happens to be Qiqi’s best weapon thanks to its Energy Recharge and its chance of ending Qiqi’s Elemental Skill cooldown. If you don’t have the Sacrificial Sword, though, you’ll be able to gain Energy Recharge through theFavonius Sword(or the 5-starSkyward Bladeif you’re feeling fancy!) as well.

Qiqi’s healing capacity scales off of her ATK, meaning that equipping Qiqi with an ATK-oriented weapon can help heal your team.The Fluteis a great option for this, as it’s relatively obtainable and also deals a great amount of ATK DMG to enemies after landing 5 hits.

Best artifacts: Tenacity of the Millelith

Alternatives:Ocean Hued Clam, Maiden Beloved

Talent priority: Adeptus Art: Preserver of Fortune (Elemental Burst)

Qiqi’sElemental Burstwill be carrying the weight of her healing and DMG, so you’ll want to prioritize leveling this talent up first. HerElemental Skill, however, also heals and deals DMG and proves to be a very useful talent, so let this one closely follow her Burst in level. On the other hand, feel free to mostlyignore her Normal Attack— it isn’t likely you’ll be using this talent unless you’re up for the challenge of building Qiqi as a main DPS. Here are all of Qiqi’s talents:

Party composition

5* alternative:Keqing replacing Razor as main DPS

If you’re looking to spice up this team a bit, swapping out Razor for a 5-star DPS can work as well — any DPS is great, but we’d recommendKeqingorRaiden Shogunso you can keep that handy Electro Elemental Resonance bonus. Don’t worry about this too much, though, as Razor is a great DPS despite his 4-star rarity.

How to level up Qiqi in Genshin Impact

Ascension Materials

To fully ascend Qiqi, you’ll need:

Looking to round up these materials? Fighting the Cryo Regisvine will grant you Shivada Jade and Hoarfrost Cores, while fighting Samachurls will grant you Scrolls. As for Violetgrass, you’ll be able to find these flowers growing on cliffs in Liyue.

Talents

To fully level up one of Qiqi’s talents, you’ll need:

Constellations

Unfortunately, Qiqi’s only strong Constellation is herConstellation 6, so we’d either recommend leaving Qiqi without any Constellations or, if you’re dedicated enough to go through the turmoil of wishing for a standard banner 5-star character, wishing all the way to Constellation 6. If you’re dedicated enough to choose the latter route, Qiqi will gain the ability to resurrect her teammates. Admittedly, it’s easier to useBarbarato fill this role — her Constellation 6 also unlocks resurrection and she’s a lot easier to obtain — but if you decide to go for Qiqi’s Constellations instead, here’s what you’ll get:

How to get Qiqi in Genshin Impact

Qiqi is a permanent character on the Standard Wishbanner, meaning you’ll be able to get her at any time despite her 5-star rarity. Sadly, there’s no way to guarantee you’ll be able to add her to your team — your best bet is just to keep track of yourpityand to keep wishing on the Standard Wish Banner or the Character Event Wish Banner.
