An apprentice and herb gatherer at Bubu Pharmacy, Qiqi is an undead with a bone-white complexion. “Blessed” by the adepti with a body that cannot die, this petite zombie retains her original appearance as a child. If you’re able to pull this character on her Character Event Banner, then you definitely need to check this guide to know Qiqi best build, best weapons, best artifacts, and best members.
This petite zombie cannot do anything without first giving herself orders to do it. Qiqi’s memory is like a sieve. Out of necessity, she always carries around a notebook in which she writes anything important that she is sure to forget later. But on her worst days, she even forgets to look at her notebook…
