Qiqi is a5-Star Cryo characterinGenshin Impactwho uses a sword as her weapon of choice. She is an underrated healer and Support, and can be positively beneficial to your team if you know how to build her.
Qiqi’s Best Build & Artifact Sets
Qiqi is made forthe Support roledue to herstrong healing abilities from both her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst.Her healing isbuilt on her ATK stat,so this is something you should invest in frequently for your build. As you level up Qiqi overtime, however, she gains a new passive talent that allows her to heal more effectively without needing to focus on buffing her ATK too much. Once you have this talent unlocked, you’ll want to use this artifact set.
4-Set Of Tenacity Of The Millelith
A 2-Set of Tenacity of the Millelith will give Qiqi a 20 percent increase to her HP. Its Bonus Skill will increase the ATK of all nearby party members by 20 percent and their Shield Strength by 30 percent for 3 seconds when an Elemental Skill hits an enemy. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5 seconds, and can be triggered even when Qiqi is not on the field. Though you might think this artifact set would not be ideal for Qiqi as it is lacking in a healing buff, it is actuallythe most optimal for her once you unlock her passive talent, ‘A Glimpse Into Arcanum’.Since her healing will already be incredibly strong,Tenacity of the Millelith will allow her to provide additional Support to her team with the buff to ATK and Shield Strength.Here are the main stats and substats to choose for the set.

Qiqi’s Best 5-Star & 4-Star Weapons
As we’ve noted before, the two stats you’ll really need to focus your attention on for Qiqi isATK and Energy Recharge.This makes the process of picking the ideal weapon for Qiqi much simpler, as you’ll only need to sift through the swords that have these as their main stat. Some of these weapons will also allow Qiqi to give her team additional support, so it’s recommended you choose from these optionsbased on what your build is lacking or what your team might need.
5-Star Weapons: Skyward Blade & Summit Shaper
Skyward Blade will give Qiqi a base increase of 12 percent to her Energy Recharge. Its Bonus Skill will increase her CRIT Rate by 4 percent. She will also gain Skypiercing Might upon using her Elemental Burst, which will increase Movement SPD by 10 percent, ATK SPD by 10 percent, and increase the DMG of Normal and Charged Attack hits by 20 percent for 12 seconds.Since you will already be using Qiqi’s Normal Attacks frequently to trigger her passive talent, ‘A Glimpse Into Arcanum’, Skyward Blade is a great way to buff up the damage from these attacks when they are used.
Summit Shaper will give Qiqi a base increase of 10.8 percent to her ATK. Its Bonus Skill will increase Shield Strength by 20 percent. Scoring hits on opponents will increase ATK by 4 percent for 8 seconds, with a maximum of 5 stacks. This can only occur once every 0.3 seconds. While protected by a shield, ATK will increase further by 100 percent.Summit Shaper is an especially useful option for Qiqi if she is on a team with at least one shielder, as this will significantly buff her ATK stat, therefore providing more healing to the team.
4-Star Weapons: Sacrificial Sword & Kagotsurube Isshin
Sacrificial Sword will give Qiqi a base increase of 13.3 percent to her Energy Recharge. Its Bonus Skill will allow her Elemental Skill to have a 40 percent chance to end its own cooldown after damaging an opponent with it. This can only occur once every 30 seconds.Sacrificial Sword is a solid choice for those who want to increase Qiqi’s Energy Recharge and provide her with the ability to more frequently use her Elemental Skill to heal her team.
Kagotsurube Isshin will give Qiqi a base increase of 9 percent to her ATK. Its Bonus Skill will allow Qiqi to whip up a Hewing Gale when a Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attack hits an opponent, which will deal Area of Effect DMG equal to 180 percent of ATK and increase ATK by 15 percent for 8 seconds. This effect can only be triggered once every 8 seconds.This weapon is a Free-to-Play option, as you can grab it for yourself after completing Kazuha’s story quest, A Strange and Friendless Road. It will not only increase Qiqi’s ATK to make her healing more effective, but it will also allow her to deal higher damage after using her Normal Attacks, which you will be using frequently.
