Qiqi Stellar-Conduct Build Guide
Qiqi has found a new role following the Stellar-Conduct buff in Genshin Impact.

Best Weapons for Qiqi Stellar-Conduct
| Weapon | Notes |
|---|---|
| Freedom-Sworn | Boosts team ATK% and Sandrone's Charged Attack DMG. Only use if Qiqi can reliably burst every rotation. Requires ER Sands and substats. |
| Skyward Blade | High Energy Recharge substat and base ATK. Reliable stat-stick when ER is tight. |
| Fleuve Cendre Ferryman | F2P option with energy from passive and substat. Good for fixing ER issues. |
| Favonius Sword | Provides team energy but low base ATK reduces healing. Use only if no other options. |
Best Artifacts for Qiqi Stellar-Conduct
| Artifact Set | Notes |
|---|---|
| 4pc Noblesse Oblige | Burst buff increases team ATK by 20%. Qiqi's Stellar-Conduct damage from her burst won't get the 20% burst damage bonus, but the ATK buff is more valuable for teammates. |
| 4pc Ocean-Hued Clam | Records healing and deals AoE Physical DMG. That damage can also be amplified by Stellar-Conduct's Physical RES shred. Scales only on healing, so ATK% and ER are still the priority. |
| 2pc Emblem + 2pc Emblem (or similar ER 2pc sets) | Emergency option if Qiqi still can't burst on cooldown. Sacrifices the 4pc effect for rotation stability. |
Note: HoYoverse may introduce a dedicated Stellar reaction support set in future patches. Avoid over-farming these artifacts until more is confirmed.
Best Constellations
| Constellation | Effect | Value |
|---|---|---|
| C1 – Ascetics of Frost | Regenerates 2 Energy (6 with Stellar-Conduct radiance) per Herald hit. | High – significantly eases ER requirements. |
| C2 – Frozen to the Bone | Normal/Charged ATK +15% vs Cryo, and Stellar-Conduct radiance gives +50% ATK. | Medium – boost is decent but not transformative. |
| C4 – Divine Suppression | ATK reduction on marked enemies and extra healing to lowest HP ally. | Medium – useful survivability but not build-defining. |
| C6 – Rite of Resurrection | Revives all fallen party members and, after bursting, increases Stellar-Conduct damage by 600% of Qiqi's ATK for up to 12s. | Priority – massive damage steroid for Sandrone teams. |
Should You Build Qiqi for Stellar-Conduct?
If you have Sandrone or plan to run a Stellar-Conduct team, Qiqi is an excellent budget support. She consolidates healing and reaction support without needing high investment on crit. Her C6 is especially powerful, but even at C0 she performs well with the right ER.
For F2P players, Fleuve Cendre Ferryman and Noblesse Oblige are easily farmable and provide solid baseline performance. Prioritize Energy Recharge until she can burst every rotation — then stack ATK% for healing and Ocean-Hued Clam damage.
Conclusion
Qiqi's Stellar-Conduct build turns a standard healer into a crucial enabler for new meta teams. Focus on ER first, then ATK%. Pair her with Sandrone and a Stellar-Conduct trigger, and she'll keep the team alive while boosting reaction damage significantly.
