Best weapon for Qiqi, calculated
Primordial Jade Cutter tops the weapon calc for Qiqi at 18,108 average damage on Elemental Burst. Every row below is the same hit with only the weapon swapped, at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1 — the right-hand column is the damage you give up by running it instead.
Each sword equipped on a Lv90 Qiqi at talent 10 — base ATK, substat and any modelled passive. Weapons whose passive is not modelled show only their raw stats; better a missing buff than a wrong one. Swap any of them in the Qiqi calculator to re-run the whole chain on your own panel.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primordial Jade Cutter 5★ best base ATK 542 · CRIT Rate | 542 | CRIT Rate | 18,108 | 100% |
| Aquila Favonia 5★ preset base ATK 674 · Physical DMG | 674 | Physical DMG | 17,214 | 95.1% |

Qiqi build questions, answered
What does Qiqi scale off?
Qiqi's Elemental Burst scales off total ATK — character base ATK plus weapon base ATK, then (1 + ATK%) and flat ATK on top. A weapon’s base ATK line therefore feeds this character directly.
What stat does Qiqi get from ascension?
Qiqi's ascension substat is Healing Bonus. It arrives at the Level-80/90 ascension and is part of the character's own stats, so the calculator counts it before any artifact roll is added.
What is the best weapon for Qiqi?
Ranked by computed Elemental Burst damage at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1, Primordial Jade Cutter is the strongest sword for Qiqi at 18,108 average damage per hit. The Aquila Favonia used by this page's preset panel averages 17,214, 4.9% behind it.
What artifacts should Qiqi use?
Ocean-Hued Clam (4) is the set this calculator presets Qiqi with, and the damage tables include its bonuses. Set effects that depend on the element of the hit are applied per row rather than as a flat average.
How much damage should Qiqi do?
On the default Level-90, talent-10 build shown above, Qiqi's largest single hit averages 17,214 — the table lists its CRIT and non-CRIT numbers separately. That is a reference panel, not a target: load your own artifact rolls into the calculator to get your own number.
Do these numbers include Qiqi's constellations?
No — every table is computed at C0. Constellations that are unconditional and clearly numeric are modelled in the calculator and marked as such on this page; the rest are listed as text only and change nothing.
How those numbers are produced: the damage formula, term by term, and the weapon & artifact build guide. If Qiqi still hits soft, the six levers ranked by damage added shows which multiplier is holding a build back.
