Qiqi Best Weapon

Physical DMG Support/Healer Build

	Weapon	Details
Best	Sacrificial Sword	Energy Recharge 61.3% (Lvl. 90) - Will allow Qiqi to have an almost 100% uptime for her skill - Energy Recharge will help keep Qiqi's Burst up
2nd	Aquila Favonia	Physical DMG Bonus 41.3% (Lvl. 90) - High Base ATK - Provides additional ATK from weapon skill
3rd	Summit Shaper	ATK 49.6% (Lvl. 90) - High Base ATK and additional ATK from sub-stat - Weapon skill provides additional ATK when you hit enemies
4th	The Alley Flash	Elemental Mastery 55% (Lvl. 90) - Highest Base ATK for a 4-star weapon
5th (F2P)	Amenoma Kageuchi	ATK 55.1% (Lvl. 90) - ATK sub-stat will increase Qiqi's healing - Weapon skill doesn't work on Qiqi however

Sacrificial Sword Is The Best Weapon For This Build

Although the Sacrifical Sword is just a 4-star weapon, it's ability to reset the cooldwon for Qiqi's Elemental Skill makes it an essential part of this build. Since Qiqi gets most of her healing from her skill, having a good uptime for it is better than having more healing through ATK weapons.

The Best Artifact For This Build Is The Ocean-Hued Clams

Since you're aiming for a Superconduct build anyways, having Ocean-Hued Clams will allow Qiqi to deal additional DMG for the team. Without it, she'll be relegated to just a Cryo applicator and healer.

Aim For Triple ATK%

Qiqi's healing scales off her ATK so when it comes to build her in order to use the Ocean-Hued Clams, it's better to have triple attack across her Artifact Stats. Although Healing Bonus can be used, ATK% should yield a higher healing for Qiqi.

Notes About Team Comps For Qiqi

Qiqi loses out against other healers because she doesn't offer other utilities. This makes it hard to add her to team comps that require damage from all members. It's really with Superconduct that she shines best in the current meta.

Qiqi Skill Guide & How To Use Qiqi

Recommended Rotation For Qiqi

	Recommended Rotation
1	Use Qiqi's Elemental Skill to heal active character and apply Cryo in the process
2	When in need of great healing, use Qiqi's Elemental Burst. Switch to your low health character and attack the marked enemies with Elemental attacks to heal
3	Repeat Step 1

Uses Of Qiqi's Elemental Skill

Periodically Heals Active Character

Qiqi's Elemental Skill can continuously heal the active character. Healing is done in time with the rotation of the Spirit Ball wherein it heals after every 2 rotation. The amount of healing you get depends on Qiqi's ATK. In addition, Qiqi can heal the whole team when doing Normal Attack while the Skill is active.

Inflicts Cryo To Nearby Enemies

Besides healing, Qiqi's Elemental Skill can deal Cryo DMG to enemies that are hit by the Spirit Ball. Cryo is only applied whenever the Spirit Ball circles around the active character and hits any enemy.

Uses Of Qiqi's Elemental Burst

Marks & Damages All Enemies Within Its Range

Qiqi's Burst deals Cryo DMG and marks all enemies within the range. Those marked will have her Talisman symbol on them until it expires!

Heal By Attacking Marked Enemies

The talisman is a unique status and attacking marked enemies can heal a portion of the damage dealt. Besides using her Burst, Qiqi also has a chance to mark an enemy when doing Normal & Charged Attack.

Should You Pull for Qiqi's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Baseline Is Already Enough

Constellation Priority
C2 or C5 > C6

Qiqi's Constellation's Are Not Necessary

Regardless of which team and which role Qiqi primarily plays in your account, she is likely already functional at C0, and anything beyond her baseline are marginal improvements to her performance. Investing into her party members' constellations and weapons is likely going to net you better results overall. Because she's in the Standard Banner pool, it is possible to get her constellations passively as you continue pulling. Of course, if you really like Qiqi and are willing to invest into her directly, then you may consider pulling for her constellations so long as you have enough extra funds to do so and provided she is on a Chronicled Wish banner, since that is the only way of ensuring a specific Standard Banner character.

In this case, C2 is a viable stopping point if you use Qiqi as an on-field character with occasional Cryo application, since it slightly increases her personal damage. Otherwise, for a purely supportive investment, C1 that refunds Energy, C5 that boosts her healing by adding more Skill levels and C6 that gives a limited-use party revive will be a (small) boost to her role as a Cryo healer. Overall, Qiqi's constellations are underwhelming, so consider your priorities first before pulling.
