Qiqi is a 5-star Cryo character and one of the game’s premium veteran characters, available since the game’s release. Qiqi is everyone’s favorite zombie girl and Bubu’s pharmacy assistant, and her undying nature allows her to support her team’s defense. Qiqi is one of the main healers in the game and aims to keep your team healthy and safe. While many fear Qiqi appearing on the Standard or Limited Event Wish banner, she is still a capable healer in the right hands.
How to unlock Qiqi in Genshin Impact
Qiqi is a “standard” 5-star character, which means you can get it in two different ways. It is one of the 5 stars you can get from the standard pennant and a possible landing during each 5 star draw. As with other “standard” 5-star characters, you have a chance to get Qiqi on the Limited Event Wish banner as well if the 5-star premium character is not guaranteed to you.
