Qiqi is one of the strongest healing characters in Genshin Impact . Her Elemental Skill can heal your active character continuously for a certain duration. Whereas her Elemental Burst applies a special mark on enemies. When you attack opponents affected by the mark, the character will recover their HP. Both of these abilities are central to her gameplay and are strong enough to ensure all your characters survive even the harshest of battles.
Should You Pull Qiqi?
No, we do not recommend you spend your Primogems specifically to obtain Qiqi. While she is a strong healer, she does not provide any other value. However, if you do get her upon losing pity and need a reliable healer, she can be worth building.
