Qiqi vs Baizhu
Traditional Cryo healing vs. elite Dendro support
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Qiqi if…
- When you need massive raw healing for a Physical carry
- When you don't have any other 5-star healers
- When you need to find Liyue specialties
Pick Baizhu if…
- When running any Dendro-based reaction team (Hyperbloom/Aggravate)
- When you need teamwide healing that triggers from a Skill
- When you need a small amount of interruption resistance
Baizhu is a vastly superior unit in the modern meta due to his Dendro element and reaction buffs. Qiqi offers more raw healing but lacks the utility and synergy that makes Baizhu a top-tier pick.

Shared Team Members
With Qiqi
Qiqi's high healing output can help stack Furina's Fanfare, but she provides very little utility beyond that. Since she lacks efficient particle generation, her synergy with Furina is generally considered niche compared to other healers.
With Baizhu
Baizhu is the premier healer for Furina teams, as his teamwide heal on his Skill and sustained healing on his Burst make stacking Fanfare effortless. He also provides Dendro application and interruption resistance, adding multiple layers of utility.
