ElectricSwordLiyue Qixing Sep 28, 2020The 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.

E. Elemental Skill
Stellar Restoration
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.
"Humans are like moths, endlessly chasing the flame we call gods and adepti. But this light that I have here is my own."

Q. Elemental Burst
Starward Sword
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 opponents simultaneously that deal multiple instances of Electro DMG. The final attack deals massive AoE Electro DMG.
The swiftest technique in Keqing's personal arsenal is fast enough to bring stars crashing down.

Keqing (Non-Aggravate Keqing) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Keqing | Update Date: 10/21/2023 | Editor: ._.samantha._.
• Best Weapon(s):
Mistplitter Reforged
Best in slot in drip and in combat. High base ATK, CRIT DMG and a powerful passive that Keqing can easily trigger.
Kagotsurube Isshin
This sword from Kazuha's story quest is the best true F2P option. Use this if you can't afford to get The Black Sword or Lion's Roar.

• Replacement Weapon(s):
Primordial Jade Cutter, Haran Geppaku Futsu, Summit Shaper, Light of Foliar Incision
5-star options that all rank very closely in terms of Keqing's damage output. Summit Shaper is the worst of the lot and requires a shield to make full use of, but is still better than 4-star options even if you don't have a shield.
Aquila Favonia, The Black Sword, Lion's Roar
Aquila is only an option because of its 5-star statline, but it is noticeably worse than all other 5-stars. The Black Sword is the go-to in this bracket if you can get it as it has a high CRIT Rate substat and a decent passive. Lion's Roar can be better (and is generally stronger with refines) if you can maintain full uptime on its passive, although it does not fall off too much even without full uptime unless you constantly remove Electro from the enemy.

Keqing (Physical DPS) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Keqing | Update Date: 08/22/2022 | Editor: Pneuma#0003
• Best Weapon(s):
Aquila Favonia, Primordial Jade Cutter
Both of these options rank closely as the best in slot for Physical Keqing, although Primordial Jade Cutter pulls ahead significantly with external ATK buffers such as Bennett or Sara due to its massive CRIT Rate substat.

• Replacement Weapon(s):
Summit Shaper, Haran Geppaku Futsu, Mistsplitter Reforged
Ordered in terms of potency, these 5-star options are all decent choices for Physical Keqing. Mistsplitter Reforged is the worst of the three because this build does not take advantage of its Elemental DMG bonuses; Summit Shaper without a shield is also slightly worse than Haran Geppaku Futsu.
The Black Sword, Prototype Rancour
The Black Sword is generally better if you can afford it. Prototype Rancour, the free option, is not too far behind and can improve very slightly with refinements, but it is not recommended to use your billets in that manner.

• Notes:
Physical DPS Keqing is a niche build that does not scale well in the late game. Generally speaking, it is easy to build for the early game and has very few requirements other than a Cryo teammate to trigger Superconduct, but it is generally recommended to avoid investing too much in this build as physical damage is very limited as a damage type.

Stories
Rex Lapis has brought prosperity and plenty to Liyue Harbor, and his rule and majesty have long passed into show and song, much to the delight of the people. But for someone in such proximity to a god, Keqing seems to lack the requisite respect the most. "Hmph. Let's be real here, but does Morax really know everything?" The Liyue Qixing deal with the day-to-day happenings in the Harbor, whether great or small, while Rex Lapis only descends once a year. While history has shown that following Morax's lead has been the right call, Keqing believes that humans should have their pride and that their views deserve equal consideration. As such, she often advocates different opinions from Rex Lapis, and is the first to put such views into practice. Her radical actions have seen stellar results, but they have also attracted murmurings of opprobrium among those devoted to Rex Lapis. As Keqing sees it, such opposition are the excuses of those who have grown complacent under the aegis of their deity, and who cannot consider the future of humanity of their own accord. But someone must walk on the front line of the epoch and create a new path with their own hands — and the Yuheng star is determined to do her part in this endeavor.
