Qiqi main stats and substats

Sands
ATK%
Goblet
ATK%
Circlet
ATK% / CRIT RateQiqi’s stats aren’t too important, since she does negligible damage and often has sufficient healing even when poorly built. A CRIT Rate circlet should be used if using Favonius Sword, while at C6 Qiqi should maximize her ATK if using Burst.

Substat priority

  1. 1ATK%Best
  2. 2CRIT Rate

Just like with main stats, her stats aren't too important but CRIT Rate can be built for Favonius, and ATK% can be your focus at C6.

Qiqi talent priority

  1. #1

    Skill

    Max first

  2. #2

    Burst

    Then

Qiqi’s Skill levels improve her healing, while her Burst can be levelled it is used for some minor damage gains. However, neither are particularly high priority investments.

Qiqi rotation

Qiqi’s gameplay is very simple, merely needing to use skill before swapping off-field. This Skill’s animation can also be shortened with a Dash or Jump cancel for further efficiency. Qiqi’s Skill often has the shortest duration of relevant buffs in Stellar Glimmer teams, meaning she often acts shortly before the main DPS to ensure uptime.

Her Burst is rarely used before C6, since even if in need of additional sustain a single Normal Attack often solves the issue. At C6, if Qiqi is properly built with ATK, her Burst can prove to have decent value, though the gains, if any, are still fairly low.

Qiqi FAQ

3 questions

What stat does Qiqi scale on?

Qiqi's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Qiqi?

Skyward Blade is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star sword with Energy Recharge as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Fleuve Cendre Ferryman is the best 4-star alternative.

Which artifact set should Qiqi use?

Finale of the Deep Galleries. Its 2-piece bonus is: Cryo DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: When the equipping character has 0 Elemental Energy, Normal Attack DMG is increased by 60% and Elemental Burst DMG is increased by 60%. After the equipping character deals Normal Attack DMG, the aforementioned Elemental Burst effect will stop applying for 6s. After the equipping character deals Elemental Burst DMG, the aforementioned Normal Attack effect will stop applying for 6s. This effect can trigger even if the equipping character is off the field.
