Role: Healer / Off-Field Cryo Support / Stellar Reaction Support
Best For: Players who want powerful healing with off-field Cryo utility, especially in Stellar-Conduct and Stellar-Swirl teams.
1. Recommended Artifacts
4-Piece Tenacity of the Millelith — A strong support option because Qiqi’s Elemental Skill can maintain the teamwide ATK buff while she remains off-field.
Alternative: 4-Piece Ocean-Hued Clam converts Qiqi’s extremely high healing into additional Physical damage, while 4-Piece Song of Days Past can turn her healing into additional damage for teammates.
2. Recommended Weapons
Premium: Peak Patrol Song
Alternatives: Favonius Sword, Finale of the Deep
F2P: Finale of the Deep
Favonius Sword is especially useful when the team benefits from additional Energy. Finale of the Deep is craftable and provides a large amount of ATK, which improves Qiqi’s ATK-scaling healing. Sacrificial Sword is less important than it once was because her Witch’s Revelation Passive can now improve her Skill uptime without relying on its cooldown reset.
3. Recommended Teams
Stellar-Conduct: Sandrone + Qiqi + Yae Miko + Odette
Stellar-Conduct: Sandrone + Qiqi + Yae Miko + Nicole
Freeze: Kamisato Ayaka + Qiqi + Furina + Kazuha
Qiqi’s newer Witch’s Revelation effects significantly improve her value in Stellar teams, giving her additional Cryo particle generation and support for Stellar-Conduct and Stellar-Swirl damage while retaining her powerful healing.
4. Main Stats / Substats
Sands: ATK% / Energy Recharge
Goblet: ATK%
Circlet: Healing Bonus / ATK% / CRIT Rate with Favonius
Priority: Energy Recharge until needed → ATK% → CRIT Rate with Favonius
Qiqi’s healing scales primarily with ATK, making ATK% valuable after meeting her Energy needs. Her Burst is expensive and Qiqi traditionally struggles with Energy, although her newer Witch’s Revelation effects improve her particle generation considerably.
5. Playstyle
Use Qiqi’s Elemental Skill before switching to the team’s main damage dealer. Her Herald of Frost continues following the active character, providing healing and Cryo application while Qiqi remains off-field.
Her Talismans provide additional healing when marked enemies are attacked. In Stellar teams, her updated kit also lets her contribute reaction support rather than functioning purely as a healer, making her Skill especially important to her standard support rotation.
6. F2P
Qiqi does not need a premium weapon to provide strong healing or Stellar support. Finale of the Deep is craftable and provides substantial ATK, while Favonius Sword is useful if already available and the team needs additional Energy.
F2P players should prioritize her Skill and healing stats rather than investing heavily into personal CRIT damage. Her Witch’s Revelation improvements are part of her kit, so her newer Stellar support capabilities do not depend on owning a limited 5-star weapon.
*StoryBillion Tip: Older Qiqi guides can now be misleading. Her Witch’s Revelation Passive improves her Skill uptime, allows her to generate Cryo particles, and gives her meaningful Stellar reaction support, so she is no longer limited to being a pure healer.
