Keqing Guide: Skills, Weapon, Artifacts, Team Build - Genshin Impact
|
|
[Overview] |
|
Keqing, Yuheng Star, one of the seven Qixing Stars of Liyue. She’s the one that is admired by the Liyue God and the people.
As an Electro five stars’ character, she uses the sword as her weapon.
With some high-speed combat skills, fascinating story background, straight character, and cute “Cat Ears” on her head. Keqing is one of the most popular characters in Genshin Impact. |

[Weapon Choice] |
Remember, choose the Weapon with high Crit DMG for Keqing. Due to her Elemental Skill can continuously deal heavy CRIT to enemies.
Here is the weapon priority list. This also includes choices for Free 2 play players.

[Artifacts Sets] |
When using Keqing as a main DPS in the team, I prefer the set like:
① 2 Thundering Fury sets + 2 Gladiator sets + 1 free
② 4 Thundersoother Sets + 1 free
However, if you can’t collect the nice status of the set, 2 Thundersoother+ 2 Gladiator is also a good temporary choice.
Two Thunder Artifacts farm location: Midsummer Courtyard, Mondstadt.
Gladiator Artifacts farm location: Drop randomly by all bosses and dungeons/domains, in both Mondstadt and Liyue.

[Team Build] |
|---|
As Keqing is an electro damage dealer, the party should:
-
providing heals
-
gather enemies after Keqing using her Elemental Burst.
-
provide Elemental Reactions, especially the pyro, hydro, and cryo.
-
provide shield.
Basic: *(If you are totally f2p, and no extra good characters for Keqing at the moment)
-
Keqing + Xingqiu + Xiangling + Kaeya
-
Keqing + Barbara + Xiangling + Fischl
Barbara and Xingqiu can heal, Kaeya’s elemental burst will provide the shield and the reactions, and Xiangling’s / Fischl’s Aoe can be spread in Keqing’s damage.
Advanced: *(More choices in the list below)
-
Keqing + Xingqiu + Xiangling + Diona
-
Keqing + Xiangling + Barbara+ Diona
-
Keqing + Sucrose + Xiangling + Barbara
-
Noelle can only give the shield to Keqing, but she’s a Geo character. So that she couldn’t give the elemental reaction to Keqing.
Intermediate: Keqing+ 5 or 4 Stars Healer + 5 or 4 Stars Support
Support 1 provides the Elements that increase her elemental damages.
Support 2 can provide the shield buff for her.

Sucrose/ Fischl/ Xiangling/Kaeya |

[Skills] |
Your priority is to level Elemental skill and burst, before basic attacks.
Having a Pyro character will allow dealing Overload combos.
Due to her short skill cooldowns, I recommend keeping enemies electrified.

Skill Talent |
Details |
|
|
Normal Attack - Yunlai Swordsmanship
|
Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Plunging Attack. |
|
|
Stellar Restoration - Elemental Skill
|
When the Stiletto hits the target, it deals Electro DMG to enemies in a small AoE, and places a Stiletto Mark near the enemies.
If you long hold the elemental skill, you can put it in the direction you want. And then Keqing will teleport to that place after press the elemental skill in a short time again.
When Keqing uses Stellar Restoration again or uses a Charged Attack while its duration lasts, it will clear the old Stiletto Mark and create different effects:
|
|
|
Elemental Burst - Starward Sword |
An Eletro AoE multiple hit thunder attack. Best to use when there are 2+ enemies around, and they either have: pyro, cryo, hydro effects on them for combos. |
