Here is our Kaeya Best Build Guide for the free Cryo character in Genshin Impact. Find out how to maximize his damage potential right here!
Kaeya is a 4-Star Cryo Sword user in Genshin Impact. The residents of Mondstadt hold Kaeya in high regard as the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius. He’s known in Genshin Impact for being extraordinarily charming, to the point where he can persuade dangerous criminals to provide him with the information he needs to capture or release them.
This four-star cryo character may be gotten quickly by completing tasks at the beginning of the game, and while he isn’t the most powerful character, Kaeya can be very useful early on. Our Kaeya guide will help you select the best weapons and artifacts for your build, as well as explain what each of his talents does.

This was our Genshin Impact Kaeya Best Build Guide. Glacial Waltz, Kaeya’s Elemental Burst, is similar to Xiangling in that it surrounds the character in spinning icicles that give many strikes of Cryo damage. This effect can be utilised to build up several Elemental Reactions because it persists even when switching characters. To keep enemies frozen, pair Glacial Waltz with a Hydro character like Tartaglia, or with a Pyro character like Diluc or Hu Tao to trigger Melt.
