Normal Attack
Perform up to 5 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Hurls a Lightning Stiletto that annihilates her opponents like the swift thunder.
When the Stiletto hits its target, it deals Electro DMG to opponents in a small AoE, and places a Stiletto Mark on the spot hit.
Hold
Hold to adjust the direction in which the Stiletto shall be thrown.
Stilettos thrown by the Hold attack mode can be suspended in mid-air, allowing Keqing to jump to them when using Stellar Restoration a second time.
Lightning Stiletto
If Keqing uses Stellar Restoration again or uses a Charged Attack while its duration lasts, it will clear the Stiletto Mark and produce different effects:
If she uses Stellar Restoration again, she will blink to the location of the Mark and unleash one slashing attack that deals AoE Electro DMG. When blinking to a Stiletto that was thrown from a Holding attack, Keqing can leap across obstructing terrain.
If Keqing uses a Charged Attack, she will ignite a series of thundering cuts at the Mark’s location, dealing AoE Electro DMG.
Keqing unleashes the power of lightning, dealing Electro DMG in an AOE.
She then blends into the shadow of her blade, striking a series of thunderclap-blows to nearby opponents simultaneously that deal multiple instances of Electro DMG.
The final attack deals massive AoE Electro DMG.
After recasting Stellar Restoration while a Lightning Stiletto is present, Keqing’s weapon gains an Electro Infusion for 5s.
When casting Starward Sword, Keqing’s CRIT Rate is increased by 15%, and her Energy Recharge is increased by 15%. This effect lasts for 8s.
When dispatched on an expedition in Liyue, time consumed is reduced by 25%.
Recasting Stellar Restoration while a Lightning Stiletto is present causes Keqing to deal 50% of her ATK as AoE Electro DMG at the start point and terminus of her Blink.
When Keqing’s Normal and Charged Attacks hit opponents affected by Electro, they have a 50% chance of producing an Elemental Particle.
This effect can only occur once every 5s.
Increases the Level of Starward Sword by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
For 10s after Keqing triggers an Electro-related Elemental Reaction, her ATK is increased by 25%.
Increases the Level of Stellar Restoration by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When initiating a Normal Attack, a Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, Keqing gains a 6% Electro DMG Bonus for 8s.
Effects triggered by Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, Elemental Skills and Elemental Bursts are considered independent entities.
Keqing
Xingqiu
Venti
Fischl
Keqing excels in dancing around the battlefield with her swift movements and elegant swordsmanship. Her nimble fighting style sometimes makes you avoid certain things if timed correctly. That being said, technique isn’t all she needs to fight. She also needs equipment!
The best weapons for Keqing depends on the way you want to build her. Mistsplitter Reforged and Lion’s Roar both suits an Electro DPS Keqing, meanwhile Aquila Favonia and Prototype Rancour would be for a Physical DPS Keqing.
Gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for every element and receive the might of Mistsplitter’s Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, Mistsplitter’s Emblem provides a 8/16/28% Elemental DMG Bonus for the character’s Elemental Type. The character will obtain 1 stack of Mistsplitter’s Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals Elemental DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Burst (stack lasts 10s); Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full). Each stack’s duration is calculated independently.
Increases DMG against enemies affected by Pyro or Electro by 20%.
ATK is increased by 20%. Triggers on taking DMG: the soul of the Falcon of the West awakens, holding the banner of the resistance aloft, regenerating HP equal to 100% of ATK and dealing 200% of ATK as DMG to surrounding opponents. This effect can only occur once every 15s.
On hit, Normal or Charged Attacks increase ATK and DEF by 4% for 6s. Max 4 stacks. Can only occur once every 0.3s.
Keqing has these as her best artifact sets. The best set for an Electro DPS Keqing would be 2 piece Thundering Fury and 2 piece Gladiator’s finale with ATK Sands, Electro DMG% Goblet, Crit Rate/Crit Damage Circlet main stats. Again, circlet stats will depend on your crit rate ratio.
For a Physical DMG Keqing, Pale Flame is the best. Look out for ATK Sands, Physical DMG% Goblet, and Crit Rate/Crit Damage Circlet.
Keqing’s charged attack is the strongest single-target DPS move in the game, making her an extremely valuable main DPS.
When paired with a character that can trigger a superconductor and a supporting character that can help boost damage, Keqing is formidable in battle.
Approximately 17 years old. The age of Keqing is not obviously stated in the game. Her birthday is on November 20th.
Like typical Electro units, Keqing’s Electro damage is deemed underwhelming, so most players opt to go with a Physical build. This is because Keqing has a high Charged attack multiplier, and she can easily trigger Superconduct.
Keqing is a much better Electro DPS compared to Razor, since she can temporarily imbue her normal attacks with Electro element, which will give a constant Electro DPS, and her burst is also dealing Electro damage.
Ganqing is the femslash ship between Ganyu and Keqing from the Genshin Impact fandom.
Are you guaranteed to get Keqing in Genshin Impact?
Not quite. You’re not guaranteed to get Keqing, even if you pull from her Banner.
The first, and the absolute best, weapon that you could attain for your Electro Keqing build is the Mistsplitter Reforged. This blade offers a ridiculous amount of critical damage with 44.1% at level ninety.
miHoYo Keqing is a rare five-star character. It’s pretty unfathomable to see someone literally spend that kind of cash all for a video game character, but that pretty much sums up the free-to-play model in a nutshell.
Physical Keqing can attack all enemy types with no problems when fighting any elemental type.
If Keqing can produce reactions, she will be able to gain increased use of her E skill, for a better option of an Electro DPS. %electro damage is very valuable for the Keqing build using lions roar (20%) or an electro goblet.
Keqing is likely a skeptic without equal when it comes to the value of Visions.
She knows that everything she has is the result of her own hard work, but that in the eyes of others, credit has been given instead to her Vision.
Best Team Composition for Keqing
Players looking to train with Keqing’s early-game synergies without investing too much in rolls would do wonders with Fischl (Electro), Xingqiu (Hydro), and Venti (Anemo).
This build capitalizes on Keqing’s ability to pull groups of enemies together with her Electrocharged burst. Thanks to Venti’s toolkit, the team can dish out decent crowd control from the get-go.
And with Keqing’s synergy with Fischl, the team can easily dish out their heavy-hitters for bonus damage. However, a risk element here would be Xingqiu’s presence.
Granted, Xingqiu’s burst ability pairs well even with Keqing’s fast-paced basic attacks. However, his burst cooldown can be a bit of a nuisance. Xingqiu’s main role in this team would be providing Wet with extra synergies.
Runner-up Team Composition for Keqing
This team offers another double resonance, but this time with Cryo into the mix. Players can capitalize on Keqing’s fast-paced attacks with frozen enemies thanks to Lisa (Electro), Qiqi (Cryo), and Kaeya (Cryo). Due to the innate resonances of this build, Keqing can enjoy a physical approach to fights.
Cryo Resonance and Electro Resonance can give the team a much-needed DMG and CRIT Rate boost — much more for Keqing if she uses her burst. Moreover, this comp gives her access to Thrilling Tales; thus, Keqing can become a powerhouse against most bosses.
With Qiqi and Kaeya giving Keqing much-needed sustains and Cryo spams, she should have enough wiggle room for her lightning-fast techniques against opponents on the slower side.
