Qiqi Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: Support

Qiqi is a 5-Star Cryo Sword user in Genshin Impact that best functions as a Cryo Stellar-Conduct Support. Ascending Qiqi grants bonus Healing Bonus, complementing a stat priority of Energy Recharge, ATK%, CRIT Rate. For the Stellar-Conduct / Healer Support setup, equip Tenacity of the Millelith (Ridge Watch) with ATK% or Energy Recharge Sands, ATK% Goblet, and Healing Bonus, ATK%, or CRIT Rate Circlet. Skyward Blade (Energy Recharge) is the top recommended weapon, while Sacrificial Sword serves as a reliable accessible alternative.

Qiqi generally wants the comfort of Ocean-Hued Clam (or Song of Days Past) to augment damage via healing. If using Qiqi in Stellar-Conduct teams, Tenacity of the Millelith becomes her best-in-slot by a wide margin due to her Elemental Skill's coordinated attacks and 20% ATK buff. Heart of the Furnace is a great teamwide Stellar-Glimmer buffer if no one else has it equipped. In Stellar-Conduct teams, ATK% on both Sands and Goblet is highly recommended.
