When the Herald of Frost hits an opponent marked by a Fortune-Preserving Talisman, Qiqi regenerates 2 Energy. However, the Talisman’s long duration (15 seconds) makes it perfect for covering Qiqi’s downtime in such scenarios. Instead, it should be considered a panic button to be used when the team is taking a significant amount of damage and both Qiqi’s skill and A4 is on cooldown. Overall, it is not ideal to factor Qiqi’s Burst into any considerations of rotation, due to multiple Energy and damage issues making it non-ideal in most scenarios. Her Burst Talisman healing only affects Qiqi, and does not heal her party, leaving them at risk when they have to swap on to Normal Attack.It also requires no Energy, lower field time, and only has the singular drawback of a longer cooldown and shorter duration, neither of which is important as the Burst is difficult to produce on time and off cooldown. Qiqi’s A4 Talent also functions in the same niche this Burst does, quick and efficient healing.The animation time for the Burst is very long, often causing Qiqi’s Burst to be an overall dip in DPS when comparing to the use of the carry during that same period instead, especially when you factor in the Energy Recharge required. The Burst damage is not very good when compared to other 80 cost Bursts.This thus forces Qiqi into a single rotation Burst damage situation if Burst support. This renders it impossible to utilize Qiqi’s ’s Burst in a normal sustained rotation without severe alterations to team composition.Using it consistently is impossible, even with significant Energy Recharge. Qiqi’s Skill does not generate Energy and her Burst costs 80 energy.Benefits certain units who lose damage from being swapped out to heal, such as Razor or Xiao, to heal up even while dealing massive damage.The talisman also lingers for 15 seconds, allowing all teammates to heal themselves up even from damage that they sustained after Qiqi’s Burst has been used.The Talisman heal is also very significant, roughly 25% more potent than a heal tick from Qiqi’s Herald of Frost, and can easily carry a team back from the brink.The singular Burst hit is entirely Cryo, allowing it to be entirely Reverse Melted.Therefore, even in situations where on paper she is a damage loss, making the player more at ease and less stressed can lead to better performance in practice, leading to cleaner clears due to less panic. It is difficult to die when she is on your team. Whether these benefits are as good as other healers is debatable, but they can make Qiqi more than just a benched unit.įinally, Qiqi is a very comfy character, as her heals are very strong. However, Qiqi does have decent autos, which while not that much significant damage by itself, can fill gaps in rotations, or enable on-hit abilities. Other healers give utility such as 4vv, ttds, ATK buffs, cleansing, shields or batterying, while Qiqi does not appear to do anything. Qiqi’s main criticism is that unlike other healers, like Bennett, Diona or Jean, she doesn’t pull double duty. Qiqi’s main benefit is that she requires little to no building to heal, and so in early game situations or in situations where you do not have a coherent team, Qiqi can stand in for an entire required role of the team. However, Qiqi does have niches where she shines, even if those are rare. Players at 50/50 make gallows humor of rolling Qiqi instead of the banner unit. Qiqi is seen as an unlucky unit, the 5* to avoid at all costs. However, when scenarios work out for her, she is able to pull off clutch situations to bring the team back from ruin. Such circumstances put Qiqi at a conflicting position: where she is trying to contest against other DPS units, while seeking perfect healing opportunities with the long cooldowns. In addition, her cryo application is relatively subpar considering the cooldown times of the skills and burst (but still available to use off-field). In this case, Qiqi’s DMG and healing potential shared by one stat is balanced out by zero energy generation paired with long skill and burst cooldown compared to other characters. However, it is to be noted that Qiqi has higher highs, but lower lows. Later on, her passives will even provide more opportunities for healing and higher healing values. Her ability to deal consistent, though mediocre damage while able to apply high value of healing to the whole team makes her a great asset to her team survivability and decent DMG upkeep. Qiqi is a 5-star sword user that fills the spot of a hybrid DPS/Healer unit, being able to amplify both DMG and Healing effects via ATK stat.
