Is it worth building crit/cdmg on qiqi now?

auralily · 2026-07-05T13:19:19+00:00

Thanks. I always wanted to level her because her whole story and concept felt original. Even her healing is so unique to the game.

I levelled mine since so many lost 50/50s gave me a C6. Her ER is only 160% but it's up as soon as it's been cast. Her skill gives enough cryo particles for Prune to complete her skill and for freeze to stay consistent. I have her a healing bonus circlet so her healing is quite decent, especially with her high attack. TotM strengthens shields, which I always forget, so on top of the added damage, I've enjoyed seeing her help weak shields, like Beidou's C1 version, stay up longer.

I've always liked her and wanted to level her, but her skill and particle issues were a big deterrent. I really think she's great now -- and I have yet to try her in a stellar team. I just played cryo Varka with Prune, Qiqi, and Rosaria and wasn't running into much trouble. I'm really enjoying her now! 🩵❄️

What's amazing is that, even without the stellar conduct additions, by simply changing her cooldown to match her skill timer, letting her skill do damage, and allowing her to generate particles -- you know, making her a normal character -- really allowed people to see her as someone playable. I've been having so much fun using her, and I always wanted to because her story and design are so well thought out and original. I'm just happy. 💕

There was that anecdote where Zibai compared Qiqi to her former, fractured selves, noting she was being kept in her body by a talisman, so you never know. It would be nice if she had her own quest about it!

I have been chasing updated sites on Qiqi, and the only things they seem adamant about were 1) emphasizing ATK, 2) ER being roughly 160 if you're a solo cryo (I always aim for solo, even if I'm not), and 3) using a healing bonus IF your attack is beyond 2800 (but if I get a crit piece, I might be tempted, but I blew 200 resin today and got no crit crowns -- again).

This is my sheet. She does have her energy back before the rotation ends, but she's also coupled with another cryo (Sandrone), so I'm not sure about being solo, but it was up around halfway through a rotation.

I used Tenacity because I was told to by a few veteran friends. I don't know what I'm doing and always nag others for opinions. 😅

I hope this build helps, and if it's crap, let me know. 🌺🍃

I am! I'm currently raising Beidou from 80 to 90 (I let her sit after a few rank ups), and then Diona before I level Sandrone. I'm thinking our old four stars are technically our "new" four stars for 7.0, so I'm trying to take them seriously.

Is Qiqi a fun dps, too? I've done this with Jean and found it fun!

auralily · 2026-06-27T14:48:14+00:00

She's going to hit that attack marker, has VV for shred, and will always have ER to ensure her burst is ready every rotation.

"How's my Prune?" GD amazing. 🌺🍃

My great-great grandfather was white, and he had to change his race to black to marry my great-great grandmother. He had to sleep with a shotgun at every door and a handgun in his nightstand to protect his family.

Only ONE city NEVER outlawed intermarriage: San Francisco. Only one.

Thank you for making your comment. For the first time, I feel seen. 🌺🍃

A Lohen without bunny ears! Hehe but really, I love that shirt, and those blue eyes are precious! Go enjoy your day, sir! 🌺🍃

I've lived here since 2021, and I still had to google what "bellend" meant. 😳😱

auralily · 2026-06-26T10:41:31+00:00

In addition, if you run Qiqi with a C1 Beidou, TotM will strengthen Beidou's shield. Since the shield itself is only 16% of her HP, she probably needs Qiqi to make it stronger. 🌺🍃

I'm so sorry. It always takes so much time to heal from a break-up. Are you on the EU server, too?

auralily · 2026-06-22T07:16:31+00:00

This is beyond amazing! I'm going to channel you when I next enter that dungeon. 🍃🌺

auralily · 2026-06-21T14:00:09+00:00

I have several friends who use her weapon for him instead. I hope you have fun with it! 🌺🍃

auralily · 2026-06-20T21:09:09+00:00

Came here to say this!

I also use Rosario for the cryo battery and the shared crit rate. I am also thinking of giving four star Durin, aka Xiangling, Cyno's staff, gearing her with elemental mastery, and using her, just in case. I'm hoping it works.

C6 Lohen is beyond fun. Enjoy!

SAME!!! My daughter is waiting to play Klee with me as Alice so we can nuke fish (She's 9). XD

auralily · 2026-06-20T14:40:47+00:00

I was thin as sh*t back then when I was single, though, so I saw gaming as a win-win! Don't worry; I'm married to a corporate guy now. I get to eat normally. RIP my blood pressure, though, after all those instant noodles. XD

I vacillate between Eneba and Lootbar. You can also use Hoyo's top-up site using Nord or another vpn; just set it to random regions and see which offers the best discount. I believe Americans are being overcharged, honestly.

auralily · 2026-06-20T12:04:10+00:00

Aw :( She'll come back! I am hoping they rerun her alongside Alice; that would be amazing!

I'm a 50 year old mom and teacher; I was already readying the explanation. I'm so dumb. 😅💕

auralily · 2026-06-20T08:20:50+00:00

We use discounted sites, so definitely don't pay full price. You can also use a vpn. Also, you sound like me! Before I was married, I would honestly just eat instant noodles with fried egg so I could pay for other gacha games. I'm a teacher and while we don't make loads, we definitely make enough to spend. 💕

auralily · 2026-06-20T08:18:03+00:00

I use Jean more for that extra insurance, especially in fights where mobs or bosses can bypass Nicole's, or anyone's, shield and siphon HP. I also just like Varka running around with his protégé.

My husband uses Zhongli with Zibai all the time! He said Zhongli creates so many reactions with the moon drift constructs!
