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.

Constellation Enhancement

Constellation Levels 1, 2, 4, and 6

Qiqi Constellation Buff Summary
• Restores extra HP • Restores Elemental Energy • Increases ATK • Increases Stellar-Conduct DMG dealt by the on-field character
