Keqing

Driving Thunder

The Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing. Keqing has much to say about Rex Lapis's unilateral approach to policymaking in Liyue — but in truth, gods admire skeptics such as her quite a lot.

Talent Priority:

  • Currently it's not worth raising their normal attacks much.

  • On the other hand, you can level up the Elemental and the Ultimate, you don't need to crown them, at 7/9/9 it's more than fine.

Constellation Recommendation:

  • At this point, as we know, it is a permanent character and does not have constellations that make the difference, as in other cases.

  • Just to mention, C4  can essentially become a permanent ATK buff for her due to how easy it is to trigger Electro-based Elemental Reactions.

Recommended artifacts

We have 2 cases to build, one where it doesn't work with Dendro and the other where it does.

Video Summary

Keqing Build Guide and Dendro Synergy

This Keqing build guide explores her renewed viability following the introduction of Dendro and the powerful Aggravate reaction. Players can now optimize her performance across various roles, including Electro DPS, Physical carry, and reaction-based setups.

Best Weapons

  • Mistsplitter Reforged: This is the premier choice for an Electro Keqing build, providing massive Elemental Damage bonuses. It excels in Aggravate and Hypercarry teams where her burst and infusion damage are the primary focus.
  • Lion's Roar: This reliable four-star option is excellent for maintaining high damage against enemies affected by Electro. It is particularly effective in Aggravate or Electro-Charged teams where the elemental aura is consistently applied to targets.
  • Iron Sting: A strong F2P choice specifically for Aggravate builds that require higher Elemental Mastery. It helps boost reaction damage significantly when paired with Dendro supports like Collei to trigger frequent Aggravate procs.
  • Aquila Favonia: This weapon remains the top pick for a Physical Keqing build due to its high base attack and Physical Damage bonus. Use this if you prefer a playstyle focused on her heavy attacks rather than elemental reactions.

Best Artifacts

  • Gilded Dreams: This is the best artifact set for Keqing in Aggravate teams. It provides a significant boost to Elemental Mastery and Attack, which are essential for maximizing the damage of Electro-Dendro reactions.
  • Thundersoother: This set is the optimal choice for a Keqing Hypercarry setup, especially when paired with Kujou Sara. It provides a flat damage increase against enemies affected by Electro, making it very consistent in pure Electro teams.
  • Pale Flame: This is the dedicated set for Physical builds, offering the highest possible Physical Damage bonus. It is the best choice when using weapons like Aquila Favonia to focus on raw white damage numbers.
  • Shimenawa's Reminiscence: This set is recommended for Electro-Charged teams that follow a strict 20s rotation. It trades energy for a massive boost to normal and charged attack damage, fitting a specific niche playstyle.

Teams and Stat Priorities

  • For stat priorities, focus on Crit Rate and Crit Damage for general DPS, while prioritizing Elemental Mastery in Aggravate teams to scale reaction damage.
  • The Aggravate team featuring Keqing, Collei, Kazuha, and Bennett utilizes Dendro reactions to significantly increase Electro output. This setup relies on consistent Dendro application to maintain the Quicken aura for Keqing's rapid attacks.
  • The Hypercarry team uses Keqing, Kujou Sara (C6), Kazuha, and Bennett to maximize Keqing's personal damage. This composition focuses on stacking massive Attack and Crit buffs to turn Keqing into a high-damage Electro nuke.
  • The Electro-Charged team consisting of Keqing, Beidou, Xingqiu, and Kazuha provides excellent damage reduction and interruption resistance. This niche setup is great for multi-target scenarios where consistent Hydro and Electro application can chain between enemies.
