Genshin Impact QiQi Best Build Guide – Weapon and Artifacts

Here is our Best Build guide for Qiqi, the incredible healer of Genshin Impact. Don’t believe those who say she is bad, they don’t have our guide!

Qiqi is a 5-Star Cryo Sword user in Genshin Impact. Qiqi may appear to be a charming child, but she is actually a zombie that has been resurrected by the adepti. Baizhu looks after the lovely undead figure, who works at Bubu Pharmacy in Liyue Harbor. Qiqi is recognized for exercising on a daily basis to help prevent rigor mortis.

Qiqi’s elemental skill, which damages enemies while also healing all party members, is ideally suited to a support position. Use her in a party with  Klee to trigger the melt reaction, or with Keqing to use superconduct reaction and weaken the enemy’s physical defense. Here is our Qiqi Best Build Guide.
