Qiqi Known Buff Details
Elemental Skill is Buffed
Lower Cooldown & Additional Damage
Qiqi is also receiving a buff to her Herald of Frost skill. Its cooldown will be reduced to 15s. Additionally, when an on-field character's attack hits an opponent, the Herald of Frost will launch a coordinated attack that deals Cryo DMG.
Boosting Superconduct and Stellar-Conduct for the Team
Qiqi gains the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state when inside a Polestar Field, which shifts her role to support the entire team by boosting both Superconduct and Stellar-Conduct reaction damage. Furthermore, the addition of Stellar-Conduct DMG to her Elemental Burst gives her a way to actively contribute to the team’s total DPS during her burst window.
Requires an Enabler to Activate Stellar-Conduct Reaction
It is important to note that Qiqi cannot trigger the Stellar-Conduct reaction by herself; she requires a team enabler to create the Polestar Field to unlock these combat benefits.
