QIQI BUILDS / STRATEGY
HP | ATK | ATK% | ATK% | CD%/CR%
HEALER SUPPORT: Qiqi truly shines as a healer support and does a good job even at low investment. In the early game all you want is ATK% and ER% on everything. Her heal scales off her ATK. As you progress further you need to add CD, CR, and ER to boost her damage output making for faster run times.
These are also general recommendations, you will need to alter your artifacts and stat builds based on what content you want to use this character for and what team you are using him/her with, however, these are consider among the best swords for Qiqi. A general rule for DPS units are CR is roughly 50% of your CD.

STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES
STRENGTHS:
- Qiqi is an insane healer in Genshin Impact!
- She offers single target and team heals.
- She can fit into nearly any team comp.
- She’s easy to build for new players.
- She’s easy to get constellations for since she’s on standard banner.
WEAKNESSES
- It’s been a common complaint that Qiqi damage output is low, but shouldn’t really matter if you’re using her for a healer.
- She doesn’t give any energy particles so having high ER is necessary along with a team battery to keep her heals up.
RANKING
Combat Rating (6/10): Qiqi is very easy to use and really straight forward. She doesn’t offer much in terms of combat as her kit is mainly designed for heals.
Exploration (4/10): She doesn’t offer much except healing and being a resource finder in Liyue.
Spiral Abyss (5/10): She can be used here if you’re team is struggling to stay alive. However, you’ll replace her with better healers as you progress further into the game that offer more than just healing.
Artifact Farming (7/10): She serves the same role here as she does in the Abyss.
Normal/Weekly Bosses (9/10): In 1v1 boss fights she really shines since attacking the main boss heals your main DPS making your main extremely hard to kill.
