Here is our Keqing Best Build Guide for the Best Electro character in Genshin Impact! That’s right she is better than Raiden Shogun!

Keqing is a 5-star Electro Sword user in Genshin Impact. She is the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing, and instead of allowing chaos to run uncontrolled in Liyue, she seeks her own answers. Instead of letting the gods decide her fate, she takes her own route with her own power and talent. Keqing is an incredibly powerful Electro as well as physical attacker that why she ranks so high on our Genshin Impact Tier List. 

Due to her high damage output, Keqing is best used as a carry DPS. Electro-based elemental reactions, when used with the right characters, can instantly destroy weaker foes. If you’re searching for someone to lead your party through the more difficult Spiral Abyss floors, Keqing is a good option. Everything you’ll need to make the best Genshin Impact Keqing build is right here. You can also check out our Beidou Best Build Guide and Razor Best Build Guide.

Keqing Best Build Guide

Strengths

• Elemental Skill can hit weak points and has low CD. 
• Can teleport using Elemental Skill. 
• Very fast Charge Attack with High multipliers.

Weaknesses

• Charged Attack’s stamina cost is higher than the other sword users. 
• Requires Character Ascension Phase 2 for consistent Electro DMG.

Keqing Talents

Yunlai Swordsmanship (Normal Attack)

• Normal Attack – Performs 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 enemies along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Stellar Restoration (Elemental Skill)

Hurls a Lightning Stiletto that annihilates her enemies like the swift thunder. When the Stiletto hits its target, it deals Electro DMG to enemies 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.

Lightening Stilleto

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 unleashed 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.

Starward Sword (Elemental Burst)

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 enemies simultaneous that deal multiple instance of Electro DMG. The final attack deals massive AoE Electro DMG.

This was our Genshin Impact Keqing Best Build Guide. Characters that are totally focused on their element may suffer in later stages of the game as foes become resistant to particular elements. Fortunately, Keqing doesn’t have to rely only on her Electro skills to defeat adversaries, as her ordinary physical strikes are powerful enough. Keqing’s elemental skill also grants her tremendous mobility, which comes in handy in combat and when travelling the environment.
