Challenge Objective

Qiqi's Envisaged Echoes challenge has been divided into two phases. In phase one, you must light up all the cryo monuments within a given amount of time. Completing the first phase will unlock the second one. During the second phase, you must defeat a single enemy within 90 seconds.

The second phase of the Envisaged Echo challenge for Qiqi has a special effect where all the characters in the team will lose HP and can be defeated once their health is completely depleted. In addition to that, the enemy's Cryo and Physical resistance will also be increased. Phase one of this challenge has no such special effects.

Recommended weapons and artifacts

Since the enemy has increased resistance to Cryo and Physical damage and your party will continuously lose their HP during the fight, it is recommended to go for more defensive and healing stats rather than offensive ones.

When it comes to weapons, you will need something that will keep your characters healthy while fighting the enemy in phase 2. It would also be beneficial to stack some Energy Recharge to make sure that your Elemental Burst is ready in situations when you need burst healing. Sacrificial Sword, especially at higher refinements, is a great choice here since it will give you a decent amount of Base Atk and Energy Recharge while also giving you a chance to refresh your Elemental Skill's cooldown every few seconds when it hits the enemy.

As for artifacts, since we need as much healing as possible to keep ourselves alive during the fight, a 4-piece set for the Ocean-Hued Clam set or Song of Days Past artifact set can be beneficial in this challenge. Using either of these 4-piece sets will give you an additional healing bonus while also aiding you in dealing more damage to the enemy based on the amount of healing that you do. If you cannot form a 4-piece set for either of these artifacts, a 2-piece set combination of both of these sets is also a valid option.

Make sure that you stack as much attack and energy recharge on your weapons and artifacts so that Qiqi can keep up with the loss of HP with her healing to keep the team alive and give you a fighting chance.
