Qiqi
Qiqi is a durable healer with large, consistent healing, obtainable straight from the standard banner so she's easy to own. Her weaknesses are a slightly awkward healing method (you must hit enemies for off-field healing) and no team damage buffs. She fits Freeze teams best, where you want both healing and Cryo application. The key is enough Energy to loop her Burst; farm the Ocean-Hued Clam set to turn overhealing into damage. Moderate investment carries her through the whole game.

Radiance: Stellar Glimmer: While the Herald of Frost is on the field, Qiqi's own party members will have the DMG they deal via the corresponding reactions enhanced:
Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: Superconduct and Stellar-Conduct reaction DMG is increased by 50%.
Radiance: Stellar Swirl: Cryo Swirl and Stellar Swirl reaction DMG dealt is increased by 50%.
Additionally, Qiqi will also enter the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state when she is inside a Polestar Field, or the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state for 8s after a nearby party character triggers a Stellar Swirl reaction.
Combat Rotation
- Open with Elemental Skill E (Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost) to drop an icy field under your team.
- Stand in the field and land 1-2 Normal Attacks to trigger party-wide healing.
- Once you've banked 80 Energy, unleash Elemental Burst Q (Adeptus Art: Preserver of Fortune) to mark enemies with the Cryo Fortune-Preserving Talisman and deal AoE DMG.
- While the Talisman is active for 15 seconds, swap to your main DPS to exploit Cryo reactions (Frozen, Melt, Superconduct) and gain bonus healing whenever the marked enemy takes damage.
- Keep attacking with your main DPS for that 15-second window, watching team HP tick up from the marks.
- When Skill E comes off cooldown (30s, or 15s once you've unlocked the passive talent Seven Sacred Treasures at Friendship Lv. 6 — not tied to Constellations), swap back to Qiqi, redeploy the icy field, and land more Normal Attacks to top off HP.
- Repeat the loop: E for healing field → Q once at 80 Energy → main DPS for the 15-second Talisman window → back to Qiqi when E is off cooldown.

Voice Lines & Comments
Birthday
Many happy returns. Here is a bag of herbal medicine for you. You must be very surprised that I remembered? Let me explain. Last time you told me, I wrote your birthday down on a piece of paper. If I look at something once a day, it eventually goes into my long-term memory, and it will stay there forever.
Self-Introduction
Hello
I am Qiqi. I am a zombie. And I... forgot what comes next.
About Qiqi
Did you ask me something? Sorry... I forgot.
More About Qiqi: I
What's going on?
More About Qiqi: II
I perform stretches regularly to help me maintain the same range of movement as a normal human being. But as soon as I stop doing them, the rigor mortis starts to set in again.
More About Qiqi: III
Some people want to take advantage of me. Others are terrified of me. But you... You are not like any of those people.
More About Qiqi: IV
Since we first met, I have had a warm feeling inside. Not the kind of warmth that makes me feel rotten. The other kind of warm. The one that happens inside my heart. Thank you. I am happy. Sadly I only recognize the current you. If I forget you... No. I will order myself to remember you.
More About Qiqi: V
In the past, my only thought was: I must stay alive. Even though I didn't know what to live for. But now, I think I know. I want to live with you. I want to ask, can we always stay together, for the rest of life, until death? Yes or no? Yes? Is that your real answer? Good, excellent. I promise to always protect you.
About Us: Memory
I have a poor memory for most things. But as far as I know, that doesn't matter.
About Us: Memory Training
I started memory training exercises recently. So don't worry, I won't forget who you are.
Thoughts About Other Characters
Baizhu
I can never remember Dr. Baizhu's face. But I don't mind.
Hu Tao
Warm. Fake smile. Death. I despise Hu Tao.
Xiao
Sounds like a historical artifact to me.
Xiao
Remind me, have I met him before?
Xinyan
...Who?
Yaoyao
Cute. Like a nice little finch.
Prune
She looks tough on the outside... but her palms are nice and soft. I like her.
Hobbies & Personality
Qiqi's Hobbies
I want to have a pet. For example, a nice little finch.
Qiqi's Troubles
I don't know why, but high temperatures make me feel... disgusting.
Favorite Food
I like coconut milk... But, I don't know what it tastes like.
Least Favorite Food
Sorry, I have no idea.
Feelings About Ascension
Feelings About Ascension: Intro
Now, I have more power. But... what does that mean? Please explain. Thank you.
Feelings About Ascension: Building Up
Ah, I understand. When I get stronger, I need to put more effort into controlling my strength.
Feelings About Ascension: Climax
In the past, I did not understand the idea of being stronger than I already was. Now that I understand it well, I wish I was just a little stronger still.
Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion
All of this is because of you. Thank you very much. Can you make me a promise? From now on, please, let me protect you. Do you accept? Yes or no?
Receiving a Gift
Receiving a Gift: I
Cold. I like it. But, no flavor...
Receiving a Gift: II
Huh...
Receiving a Gift: III
It's burning my tongue...

Strengths & Weaknesses
- At Lv90, Qiqi already gets +22,1% Healing Bonus baked into the ascension stat line — no artifacts needed for this part.
- Can restore HP for the team via Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost.
- The core mechanic (via Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost) scales with ATK — the standard stat line on most damage weapons, no build pivot needed.
- Since it scales with ATK (via Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost), it competes for high-ATK weapons/ATK% pieces with other ATK-based DPS on the team — no niche-stat advantage.
- The ascension stat isn't CRIT Rate/DMG — this kit isn't built to carry the team's main damage, fitting a support/sub-DPS role better than a main carry.
- 5★ (Sword) — only available on limited/character-specific banners, not on the standard wish.
Role Rankings
Machine-classified by scanning mechanic keywords in the OFFICIAL skill text (not another site's opinion ranking). Characters whose weapon type is inherently elemental (e.g. catalysts, bows) may not show "Does this well" for On-Field even if they can still be played on-field — this is a limit of text-based detection.
