Players with Qiqi on their teams find this Cryo Sword user quite an asset for her massive healing potential. Being one of the best Support characters in the game, Qiqi remains a must-have in any team. Those who want to take Qiqi a step further will want to build a team around her strongest assets. When she has the right teammates with her, Qiqi can maximize her healing potential and decent burst damage capabilities.
Updated on April 4, 2022, by Rhenn Taguiam: With Yae Miko gracing the Genshin Impact 2.5 Update with her Electro prowess, fans eagerly await the arrival of Kamisato Ayato as a new Hydro master in the 2.6 Update. And with this new hero carrying a penchant for swordsmanship, it’s easy for players to pair his offensive nature with the likes of Qiqi with a penchant for defense. However, before players measure the Frozen aptitude of both Qiqi and Ayato when their elements synergize, fans might want to check whether Qiqi can work well with other heroes, first.
Keqing, Xingqiu, Venti
Qiqi can become a formidable healer in a rather offensive party, such as one composed of Keqing (Electro), Xingqiu (Hydro), and Venti (Anemo). In this kind of build, Qiqi can provide invaluable healing power as these three other heroes rake up the damage numbers with fast-paced attacks.
In this particular build, Keqing and Xingqiu secure the offensive by attacking opponents with a barrage of attacks that they can’t keep up with. Players who try to stray away can be handled by Venti gathering them in another position, with Qiqi providing gradually-boosted healing along the way.
Keqing, Kaeya, Lisa
Players who want to take advantage of Superconduct statuses might want to get this composition, especially with Qiqi on the lead as healer while Keqing (Electro) stays as DPS and Kaeya (Cryo) and Lisa (Electro) as frontline support.
In this build, Kaeya can shred enemies on her path with boosted criticals, with Kaeya potentially spamming his freezes on unsuspecting enemies. Lisa’s penchant for AOE attacks can provide unprecedented support to allies in terms of zoning, so the rest of the party can obliterate the enemy quickly. Qiqi’s healing specialization adds a much-needed layer of survivability to the party at large.
Razor, Fischl, Kaeya
Players who want a more straightforward take on damage might want to pair Qiqi with the likes of Razor (Electro), Fischl (Electro), and Kaeya (Cryo). With this particular build, Qiqi stays as healer but at the same time gets the damage rating that people don’t normally get, courtesy of the DPS specialization of the other heroes.
For instance, Razor’s offensive nature compliments well the defensive archery of Fischl, covering both long and short-ranged aspects of combat. Kaeya freezing enemies can be a great deterrent to any sort of counter-offensive they might employ, while Qiqi’s gradual heals can secure survivability to the party.
Razor, Fischl, Chongyun
Players who want a more hardcore take on offense might want to add Qiqi to a team composed of Razor (Electro), Fischl (Electro), and Chongyun (Cryo). This time around, the aggressive nature of both Razor and Chongyun can secure heavy damage to enemies despite a bit of a speed debuff.
However, Chongyun’s freezing capabilities and Fischl’s long-ranged archery can provide constant deterrents to the enemy’s advancing abilities, allowing players to enjoy employing devastating combos while Qiqi provides much-needed healing whenever the players require a bit of health.
Bennett, Diluc, Venti
Thanks to Qiqi’s natural burst and healing potential, she can fit right into almost any setup. Her best lineups include synergies with the likes of Bennett (Pyro), Diluc (Pyro), and Venti (Anemo). With this comp, Qiqi can easily grant heals via her elemental skill whenever she attacks. In fact, her Elemental Burst incentivizes heavy-DPS, as it grants healing whenever allies deal damage. On top of that, Bennett’s buffing toolkit can further enhance the team’s overall DMG output. With his Pyro Resonance with Diluc, Bennett can reinforce Diluc to become the team’s primary DPS. Thanks to Venti’s Anemo control, the party also gains reasonable crowd control to easily proc Qiqi’s burst-heal-attack rotation.
Xingqiu, Klee, Sucrose
With Qiqi’s burst-based healing, her synergies work well with multi-element interactions. A great example of this is a team of Xingqiu (Hydro), Klee (Pyro), and Sucrose (Anemo). Xingqiu’s buffs support Qiqi at early levels, even without Bennett’s DMG boost.
Likewise, Sucrose acts as a great sub for Venti, as her crowd control kit can help Qiqi proc more elemental interactions with ease. However, more interesting things happen with Klee in the picture. While the previous build will have Diluc serve as primary DPS, Klee’s sheer firepower enables her to both tank and deal damage. With Qiqi’s active talisman, Klee can take on damage and constantly provide healing to the team thanks to Qiqi’s burst-heal-attack strategy.
Keqing, Diluc, Venti
At first glance, a team with Keqing (Electro), Diluc (Pyro), and Venti (Anemo) can be difficult to build due to their 5-Star rating. However, obtaining them is worth the rolls due to their potential to max DPS. With this lineup, Qiqi can tap into her natural burst-heal capabilities while becoming a sub-DPS of her own.

While Qiqi constantly heals her teammates, the rest of the team can dish out decent DPS. Keqing gives great maneuverability, whereas both Diluc and Venti boast powerful crowd control abilities. When in a pinch, Qiqi can provide emergency heals to ensure maximum survivability among the party.
Fischl, Diluc, Mona
Sometimes, a multi-Element team can maximize Qiqi’s healing potential. With Fischl (Electro), Diluc (Pyro), and Mona (Hydro), Qiqi may just have a squad that can dish out a ton of damage and makes room for Qiqi’s healing. Diluc can act as the team’s Primary DPS, with both Fischl and Mona in Secondary DPS roles.
This gives the team a lot of time to rake up high damage numbers quickly. Thanks to Qiqi’s burst healing, her damage output can also whittle the enemy’s ranks while healing everyone in the vicinity. The fast-paced nature of this build can give Qiqi more than enough room to showcase her healing talents without risking the team’s overall survivability.
Xiangling, Diluc, Mona
Despite the lack of a basic Resonance, Qiqi can capitalize on her burst healing capabilities with a multi-hit team. This potential is fulfilled with a team of Xiangling (Pyro), Diluc (Pyro), and Mona (Cryo). At its core, the Pyro Resonance between Xiangling and Diluc can capitalize on their base attack potential.
Moreover, the Melt Reaction with Mona can pose problems against opponents in the early stage. Interestingly enough, another interesting advantage of this lineup is each team’s fast-paced multi-hit potential. Each character, being DPS in their own right, can dish out attacks as many times as possible and cause multiple Reactions. In addition to Qiqi’s burst healing, this team can deal substantial damage on the get-go.
Klee, Diluc, Venti
Qiqi and her burst healing can benefit from powerful elemental combinations. This powerset becomes apparent with Diluc (Pyro), Klee (Pyro), and Venti (Anemo). Diluc and Klee alone will grant them extra DMG courtesy to Pyro Resonance.
With Diluc’s DPS potential and Klee’s burst capabilities, this pairing alone should excel in group battles. This potential is cemented by the fact that Venti’s crowd control mastery can gather people in one place, where Klee can dish out her stronger bursts. With Qiqi’s burst-attack-heal specialization, the team gets much-added survivability in extended boss fights.
Keqing, Diluc, Sucrose
Players looking for more fast-paced battles will appreciate a team with Keqing (Electro), Diluc (Pyro), and Sucrose (Anemo). Once Qiqi activates her elemental skills, her attacks alone can constantly heal her teammates. Thanks to Diluc and Keqing, Qiqi can proc both Melt and Superconduct reactions, further boosting the team’s overall DPS.

To top off this team, Sucrose’s crowd control mastery can keep enemies close for allies to eliminate. Thanks to the heavy DPS Diluc and mobile Keqing, Qiqi players should expect fast-paced battles with this team.
Chongyun, Hu Tao, Razor
Players who want a more stable and tempo-based comp will appreciate the combination of Chongyun (Cryo), Hu Tao (Pyro), and Razor (Electro). With this setup, Qiqi can capitalize on her burst-heal-attack cycle with the other burst capabilities of her teammates.
Not to mention, her Cryo Resonance with Chongyun can boost both their innate potential. With Chongyun and his Cryo procs, enemies get a nasty debuff that leaves them wide open to other attacks. This toolkit becomes a great complement to both Hu Tao and Razor, who excel in dishing out quick damage bursts. The three of them working together can provide the party with great DPS potential, with Qiqi on standby when it comes to emergency heals. Even without a Geo user for defense, this team is a powerhouse.
Chongyun, Keqing, Razor
Players looking for a comp with decent synergy should definitely try Chongyun (Cryo), Keqing (Electro), and Razor (Electro). Chongyun and Qiqi can engage in Cryo Resonance to further boost their CRIT Rate.
With Chongyun’s battle specialization, he can easily serve as the team’s main DPS. Meanwhile, Keqing and Razor get Electro Resonance that can further boost their overall performance. And with their Superconduct Reaction, Keqing can lower Physical DEF of enemies while Razor increases his own Physical DMG. Razor alone can dish out massive DPS with his own Elemental Burst.
Xiao, Keqing, Razor
Despite the lack of a Cryo partner, Qiqi can capitalize on her support potential with a rock-solid team that focuses on offense. This potential is fulfilled with Xiao (Anemo), Keqing (Electro), and Razor (Electro). Keqing and Razor, being offensive specialists, will benefit from their Electro Resonance that can boost their base stats.
Moreover, Keqing’s Superconduct Reactions can lower the enemy’s Physical DEF. This syncs well with Razor’s Superconduct Reactions that increase his Physical DMG. Keqing’s diverse role can position her as an efficient DPS, whether Primary or Secondary. Meanwhile, Razor can provide much-needed firepower with his Elemental Bursts. Lastly, an Anemo user like Xiao can maximize Qiqi’s healing and stabilize encounters with crowd control.
