Collecting Qiqi’s Constellations in Genshin Impact can be quite challenging due to the RNG nature of the game. As a 5-star unit available in the Standard Banner, players need luck in their favor to obtain her Constellations. Whether it's pulling her from the Limited Banner or trying their luck in the Standard Banner, players must overcome the odds of acquiring the other Standard Banner characters in order to unlock Qiqi's additional abilities.

Fortunately, obtaining Qiqi Constellations in Genshin Impact is not a pressing matter, as they are not essential to have. For those interested in understanding the value of each individual copy, below is a concise summary of all the new effects associated with her.

Are Qiqi Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?

To put it simply, obtaining Qiqi's Constellations in Genshin Impact is not a worthwhile endeavor. While her C6 provides one of the rarest passive abilities in the game, the other Constellations lack any significant enhancements to Qiqi's combat performance. Even her C6, which allows for reviving allies, isn't particularly enticing since achieving this can be done without needing to unlock the full potential of a 5-star character.

C1 - Ascetics of Frost

Effect: When the Herald of Frost hits an opponent marked by a Fortune-Preserving Talisman, Qiqi regenerates 2 Energy.

Importance: Medium

C2 - Frozen to the Bone

Qiqi's Energy is crucial for her team's rotations, and having her Elemental Burst readily available is vital. When Qiqi reaches Constellation 1, she gains the ability to regenerate two Energy every time her Elemental Skill lands a hit on an opponent. However, it is worth noting that Qiqi's Elemental Skill takes some time to deliver all 10 hits. In an ideal scenario where all of Qiqi's attacks connect, she can accumulate a total of 20 Energy within a 15-second timeframe.

Effect: Qiqi's Normal and Charge Attack DMG against opponents affected by Cryo is increased by 15%.

Qiqi's damage output as a Support/Healer is not very impressive. While her Normal attacks can heal her entire team, the 15% increase in damage is not a significant improvement. Even with the Ocean-Hued Clam 4-piece set, Qiqi's damage remains relatively low.

C4 - Divine Suppression

Effect: Targets marked by the Fortune-Preserving Talisman have their ATK decreased by 20%.

Importance: Low

For a game that heavily relies on timers in almost every content, decreasing the enemies' ATK by 20% does not contribute to clearing stages more quickly. Instead, it enhances the team's ability to survive, which is not crucial or essential like in Honkai: Star Rail.

C6 - Rite of Resurrection

Effect: Using Adeptus Art: Preserver of Fortune revives all fallen party members nearby and regenerates 50% of their HP. This effect can only occur once every 15 minutes.

When C6 Qiqi uses her Elemental Burst, she can revive all fallen teammates. This Constellation is particularly valuable in the Spiral Abyss of Genshin Impact, as it allows players to revive their team and avoid restarting the stage. Aside from that, its usefulness is limited. Nonetheless, due to its rarity, this Supportive ability is unquestionably Qiqi's most valuable Constellation in Genshin Impact.
