Highlights
- Qiqi is best suited as a Healer in Genshin Impact, but players can also build her as a Sub-DPS unit with the right artifacts.
- The Skyrider Sword is a decent early-game option for Qiqi, providing Energy Recharge to improve her Elemental Burst casting.
- The Sacrificial Sword is arguably the best weapon for Qiqi, as it eliminates the long cooldown on her Elemental Skill, allowing for more frequent healing and damage.

Finding the best weapon for Qiqi can be tricky in Genshin Impact. It’s important to understand what are the best roles the little zombie can take and what are the Stats she scales to better cast her abilities. After that, finding Qiqi’s best weapon becomes an easy task.
Genshin Impact: Best Weapons For Wriothesley
Wriothesley is the first Cryo character in Genshin Impact that uses a Catalyst, but he’s a melee unit, similar to Heizou.
Generally, it’s better for Qiqi to operate as a Healer in Genshin Impact. Players can also build her with 4pc of Ocean-Hued Clam to turn her into a Sub-DPS unit on top of the healing she provides. Qiqi also scales with ATK to deal damage and heal her allies. Add something…
8 Skyrider Sword
- Primary Stat: 354 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 51.7% Energy Recharge
- R5 Effect: Using an Elemental Burst grants a 24% increase in ATK and Movement SPD for 15s.
While it’s a 3-star Sword with a very low Base ATK, Skyrider Sword is still a decent early-game option for players who don’t have the best weapons for Qiqi in Genshin Impact. It grants Qiqi a good amount of Energy Recharge to improve her Elemental Burst casting during rotations. Of course, once a better replacement appears, Skyrider Sword should disappear.
7 Favonius Sword
- Primary Stat: 454 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 61.3% Energy Recharge
- R5 Effect: CRIT hits have a 100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 6s.
Genshin Impact: Best Weapons For Neuvillette
Neuvillette's damage output increases significantly by utilizing these weapon options.
Favonius Sword’s low Base ATK affects Qiqi’s healing, but the insane amount of Energy Recharge allows her to perform better as an off-field Healer in Genshin Impact. Additionally, Qiqi will be able to help regenerate her teammates' Elemental Bursts when wielding Favonius.
6 Kagotsurube Isshin
- Primary Stat: 510 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 41.3% ATK
- Effect: When a Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attack hits an opponent, it will whip up a Hewing Gale, dealing AoE DMG equal to 180% of ATK and increasing ATK by 15% for 8s. This effect can be triggered once every 8s.
Kagotsurube Isshin is a good choice for Qiqi if players intend to play her with Ocean-Hued Clam. Simply put, when Qiqi has both Kagotsurube Isshin and 4pc of Ocean-Hued Clam, players can deal some notable damage while healing the entire team.
5 Aquila Favonia
- Primary Stat: 674 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 41.3% Physical DMG Bonus
- Effect: ATK is increased by 20%. Triggers on taking DMG: the soul of the Falcon of the West awakens, holding the banner of the resistance aloft, regenerating HP equal to 100% of ATK, and dealing 200% of ATK as DMG to surrounding opponents. This effect can only occur once every 15s.
Aquila Favonia is the better choice for players who want to build Qiqi to deal damage via her Normal attacks and Ocean-Hued Clam’s passive. The 5-star Sword increases Qiqi’s Physical DMG alongside having a high amount of Base ATK, which will improve Qiqi’s scaling with ATK%. Not to mention, Qiqi also receives a 20% ATK addition from Aquila Favonia’s passive.
4 Finale of the Deep
- Primary Stat: 565 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 27.6% ATK
- R5 Effect: When using an Elemental Skill, ATK will be increased by 24% for 15s, and a Bond of Life worth 25% of Max HP will be granted. This effect can be triggered once every 10s. When the Bond of Life is cleared, a maximum of 300 ATK will be gained based on 4.8% of the total amount of the Life Bond cleared, lasting for 15s.
The new Fontaine Forgeable Sword packs a lot of ATK on top of its high Base ATK that decently improves ATK% scaling on the wielding character. At R5, Finale of the Deep will grant Qiqi around 27% ATK as a Secondary Stat, 24% ATK when she casts her Elemental Skill, and some flat ATK because all these ATK additions aren’t enough apparently.
3 Skyward Blade
- Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 55.1% Energy Recharge
- Effect: CRIT Rate increased by 4%. Gains Skypiercing Might upon using an Elemental Burst: Increases Movement SPD by 10%, increases ATK SPD by 10%, and Normal and Charged hits deal additional DMG equal to 20% of ATK. Skypiercing Might last for 12s.
Genshin Impact: Best Weapons For Lynette
Lyney uses a Sword to support her Anemo Vision, similar to Jean and Kazuha in Genshin Impact.
Among the 5-star weapons, Skyward Blade is the only Sword that provides Energy Recharge for Qiqi. Additionally, the ATK SPD Qiqi gets from Skyward’s passive significantly improves her Healing ability. It’s safe to say Skyward Blade is a very desirable weapon for Qiqi in Genshin Impact.
2 Summit Shaper
- Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 49.6% ATK
- Effect: Increases Shield Strength by 20%. Scoring hits on opponents increases ATK by 4% for 8s. Max 5 stacks. Can only occur once every 0.3s. While protected by a shield, this ATK increase effect is increased by 100%.
As a character who relies on ATK to heal her team, Qiqi loves to hold Summit Shaper in Genshin Impact. The weapon’s entire stats and passives keep stacking more ATK% to improve Qiqi’s healing and damage, especially if she was shielded.
1 Sacrificial Sword
- Primary Stat: 454 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 61.3% Energy Recharge
- R5 Effect: After dealing damage to an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has an 80% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 16s.
Sacrificial Sword is arguably the best Genshin Impact Sword for Qiqi. It eliminates the long cooldown she has on her Elemental Skill by allowing players to cast it twice. Qiqi wielding Sacrificial is able to further heal her team, cast her Elemental Burst more often, and apply more Cryo during combat.
