Qiqi

Cryo Sword Tier B Sustain/Healer
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Qiqi worth building?

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.

Combat Rotation

  1. Open with Elemental Skill E (Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost) to drop an icy field under your team.
  2. Stand in the field and land 1-2 Normal Attacks to trigger party-wide healing.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Keep attacking with your main DPS for that 15-second window, watching team HP tick up from the marks.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
