The Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing. Keqing has much to say about Rex Lapis’ unilateral approach to policy making in Liyue — but in truth, gods admire skeptics such as her quite a lot. She firmly believes that humanity’s future should be determined by humans themselves, and that they can even do better than the archons and adepti have done for them. In order to prove this, she works harder than anyone else. Check this Keqing best build guide to know best weapons, best artifacts, and the best party members for Keqing.
One of the Liyue Qixing, Keqing has an uncompromising belief in actions over words. If she sees something that needs doing, she’ll do it herself.
KEQING ABILITIES/TALENTS
Yunlai Swordsmanship – Normal/Charged Attack
- 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.
Stellar Restoration – Elemental Skill
- 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.
Starward Sword – Elemental Burst
- Keqing unleashes the power of lightning, dealing Electro DMG in an AoE.
