Qiqi is a 5-star Cryo Sword healer from Liyue. She supports Physical teams with Superconduct and now strengthens Stellar-Conduct and Stellar Swirl teams through her Radiance states.
Build at a glance: Ocean-Hued Clam (4), ATK% / ER Sands, ATK% Goblet and Healing Bonus Circlet. Build enough ER for Burst when the rotation uses it, then prioritize ATK%; add CRIT Rate for Favonius Sword. HP% is not her healing stat.
Talent priority: Skill and Burst for healing. Normal Attack levels are optional for support, and matter when Qiqi is used as a Physical on-field driver. C6 adds a conditional reaction damage contribution; it is not a universal team damage multiplier.
Level 90: Base HP 12,368 · Base ATK 287 · Base DEF 922 · Healing Bonus 22.1%.

Qiqi summons Herald of Frost and deals Cryo damage around her.
Qiqi’s healing scales with ATK. Herald of Frost heals the active character periodically; Qiqi’s own Normal and Charged hits during Herald heal the party. Attacks from the active character also trigger Herald’s coordinated Cryo hits. A Fortune-Preserving Talisman heals the character dealing damage to the marked enemy.
Cooldown: The base Skill cooldown is 30 seconds; Seven Sacred Treasures reduces it to 15 seconds. Herald lasts 15 seconds, and its coordinated attack has a separate 2.2-second cooldown. Keep enemies within Herald range for Cryo hits.

| CD | 20s |
| Energy Cost | 80 |
| Stellar-Conduct DMG | 535.2% |
Qiqi deals Cryo damage and marks nearby opponents with a Fortune-Preserving Talisman. When a marked opponent takes damage, the character dealing that damage is healed. This does not automatically heal every off-field party member.
Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: Burst adds another Cryo damage instance that counts as Stellar-Conduct damage. Burst costs 80 Energy and has a 20-second cooldown; the Talisman lasts 15 seconds.

Former Life Memories
Utility Passive
Displays nearby resources unique to Liyue on the mini-map.
Additional Passive
Seven Sacred Treasures reduces Skill cooldown to 15 seconds. While Herald of Frost is active, Radiance: Stellar-Conduct grants the party 50% more Superconduct and Stellar-Conduct reaction damage; Radiance: Stellar Swirl grants 50% more Cryo Swirl and Stellar Swirl reaction damage. Enter a Polestar Field for Stellar-Conduct, or trigger Stellar Swirl with a nearby teammate for the Swirl state, which lasts 8 seconds. Only one Radiance state can apply at a time; Stellar-Conduct has priority.
Ascetics of Frost
Qiqi Constellation Level 1
Herald of Frost restores 2 Energy to Qiqi when it hits an enemy marked with a Fortune-Preserving Talisman.
Radiance: Stellar Glimmer: Herald attacks and coordinated attacks also restore 6 Energy on hit, once every 6 seconds. This additional effect works in either Radiance state.
Frozen to the Bone
Qiqi Constellation Level 2
Qiqi’s Normal and Charged Attack damage against enemies affected by Cryo increases by 15%.
Radiance: Stellar Glimmer: Qiqi gains 50% ATK in either Radiance state.
Ascendant Praise
Qiqi Constellation Level 3
Increases Adeptus Art: Preserver of Fortune by 3 levels, up to level 15.
Divine Suppression
Qiqi Constellation Level 4
Enemies marked by a Fortune-Preserving Talisman have their ATK reduced by 20%. When its healing triggers, the nearby party member with the lowest remaining HP percentage also receives healing equal to 180% of Qiqi’s ATK.
Crimson Lotus Bloom
Qiqi Constellation Level 5
Increases Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost by 3 levels, up to level 15.
Rite of Resurrection
Qiqi Constellation Level 6
Burst revives nearby fallen party members with 50% HP, once every 15 minutes.
After Burst, Qiqi gains four Glimpse of Mystery stacks for up to 12 seconds. When the active character other than Qiqi deals Stellar-Conduct or Stellar Swirl reaction damage with their Talent or skill, one stack adds damage equal to 600% of Qiqi’s ATK. Casting Burst refreshes the stack count. This effect requires C6 and its reaction and trigger conditions.
Prioritize enough ER for the Burst windows your team actually uses, then ATK and Healing Bonus. Keep Herald active for healing, coordinated Cryo hits and the corresponding Radiance reaction bonus.
Favonius Sword: A team Energy option. Qiqi must land a CRIT hit while on field to trigger its particles; use enough CRIT Rate and allow a short attack window.
4-star Sword · Energy Recharge
CRIT hits can generate neutral Elemental Particles. The trigger chance and cooldown improve with refinement. Off-field hits cannot activate Favonius; use Qiqi on field briefly before transferring particles to a teammate.
4-star Sword · Energy Recharge
Sacrificial Sword can reset Skill cooldown after a Skill hit. It is obtained from Wishes and is not a guaranteed F2P weapon. Its cooldown reset is less essential after Seven Sacred Treasures reduces Skill cooldown to 15 seconds.
Skyward Blade supplies ER and higher Base ATK. Its attack-related effects require field time; it is an option rather than a guaranteed best weapon for every team.
Prototype Rancour is a craftable option for a Physical on-field build. Its Physical damage stat does not improve off-field healing or Cryo damage.
Ocean-Hued Clam (4) is a general healing set that converts accumulated healing into nearby damage. Use ATK% / ER Sands, ATK% Goblet and Healing Bonus Circlet. Substats: ER for the planned Burst rotation, ATK%, and CRIT Rate when using Favonius.
ATK% / ER · ATK% · Healing Bonus
2-piece: Healing Bonus +15%.
4-piece: Healing, including overhealing, accumulates in a Sea-Dyed Foam for 3 seconds, up to 30,000 HP. It deals nearby damage based on 90% of the stored healing and can appear once every 3.5 seconds, including while Qiqi is off field.
Foam damage does not gain CRIT, Physical DMG Bonus or elemental reaction damage bonuses. Physical resistance reduction from Superconduct can improve its damage.
ER / ATK% · ATK% · Healing Bonus
2-piece: Elemental Burst damage +20%.
4-piece: Burst grants the party 20% ATK for 12 seconds. Choose this only when no teammate already uses it, and maintain enough ER for its Burst trigger. Multiple Noblesse buffs do not stack.
ATK% / ER · ATK% · Healing Bonus
Repeated Herald Skill hits can grant 20% party ATK and 30% Shield Strength for 3 seconds, including from off field. Stay near enemies to maintain the buff. The 2-piece HP bonus does not improve Qiqi healing.
For a dedicated Physical on-field carry, Pale Flame (4) uses ATK% / Physical DMG / CRIT. This is a separate damage build; Cryo DMG Goblets do not improve Physical Normal Attacks or Clam damage.
Qiqi Superconduct Team
Razor / Sucrose / Qiqi / Zhongli
Main DPS
Razor
Razor drives Physical Normal Attacks during his Burst. Qiqi’s Cryo and his Electro enable Superconduct, which reduces Physical RES rather than DEF. Keep enemies within Herald range. Razor C4 separately reduces DEF after his Skill hits.
Support
Sucrose
Sucrose groups movable enemies and uses Viridescent Venerer to reduce Cryo or Electro RES after she Swirls on field. The set and her EM sharing do not directly increase Razor’s Physical damage. This team has no Hydro teammate.
Healer / Support
Qiqi
Qiqi’s healing scales with ATK. Herald of Frost heals the active character periodically; Qiqi’s own Normal and Charged hits during Herald heal the party. Attacks from the active character also trigger Herald’s coordinated Cryo hits. A Fortune-Preserving Talisman heals the character dealing damage to the marked enemy. Use ATK-based healing stats. Seven Sacred Treasures reduces Skill cooldown to 15 seconds. While Herald of Frost is active, Radiance: Stellar-Conduct grants the party 50% more Superconduct and Stellar-Conduct reaction damage; Radiance: Stellar Swirl grants 50% more Cryo Swirl and Stellar Swirl reaction damage. Enter a Polestar Field for Stellar-Conduct, or trigger Stellar Swirl with a nearby teammate for the Swirl state, which lasts 8 seconds. Only one Radiance state can apply at a time; Stellar-Conduct has priority.
Shield / Support
Zhongli
Zhongli shields the active character and reduces nearby enemy resistance. His pillar can maintain Tenacity’s ATK buff while it keeps hitting enemies. Keep the team within shield resistance-reduction range.
Qiqi Stellar-Conduct Team
Sandrone / Qiqi / Odette / Alyosha
Main DPS
Sandrone
Sandrone stays on field for Fagio’s Charged Attacks. Apply Cryo and Electro to trigger Stellar-Conduct, maintain the Polestar Field, and use Skill to lower Decoding Power. Cast Burst in Radiance after building Refined Tactics stacks. Mailed Flower is an event option if already owned; Lithic Blade is an alternative only when the party supplies enough Liyue teammates.
Healer / Support
Qiqi
Qiqi’s healing scales with ATK. Herald of Frost heals the active character periodically; Qiqi’s own Normal and Charged hits during Herald heal the party. Attacks from the active character also trigger Herald’s coordinated Cryo hits. A Fortune-Preserving Talisman heals the character dealing damage to the marked enemy. Use ATK-based healing stats. Seven Sacred Treasures reduces Skill cooldown to 15 seconds. While Herald of Frost is active, Radiance: Stellar-Conduct grants the party 50% more Superconduct and Stellar-Conduct reaction damage; Radiance: Stellar Swirl grants 50% more Cryo Swirl and Stellar Swirl reaction damage. Enter a Polestar Field for Stellar-Conduct, or trigger Stellar Swirl with a nearby teammate for the Swirl state, which lasts 8 seconds. Only one Radiance state can apply at a time; Stellar-Conduct has priority.
Support
Odette
Odette supplies off-field Cryo through her Dance Double. Summon it before Sandrone takes the field so Marvelous Splendor stacks transfer to teammates. Her kit supports Stellar Glimmer reactions; resistance reduction from her C2 is conditional on owning that constellation.
Sub DPS
Alyosha
Alyosha applies Hunter’s Mark with Skill, then uses Burst to summon Tugarin. Tugarin provides Electro damage, activates the mark and heals the active character. Hunter’s Precision grants an ATK bonus; in Radiance: Stellar-Conduct it also adds 20% on-field Stellar-Conduct reaction damage. Additional constellation buffs require the relevant upgrades.
