If you recently got Keqing from Character/Standard banner, you might be wondering how to build her correctly. As Keqing has Crit DMG% as her ascension stat, she is usually played as a DPS character.

This article shares the best build for Keqing in Genshin Impact.


How to Build Keqing in Genshin Impact

Keqing is a sword user blessed with an Electro vision. Her Elemental Skill, Stellar Restoration, provides Electro infusion to her normal attacks for a short duration because of passive talent Thundering Penance. On the other hand, her beautiful Elemental Burst, Starward Sword, strikes multiple instances of Electro attacks followed by a powerful slash.

The best way to build her is as an Electro DPS carry.

For Electro DPS Keqing, Mistsplitter Reforged is the best weapon for maximum damage output. Because of her infusion skill, she can use Mistsplitter Reforged’s powerful passive.

After Mistsplliter Reforged, Primordial Jade Cutter is the next best weapon for the young Yuheng. Despite the low base attack, this weapon provides a whopping 44.1% Crit Rate at max level.

If you have no decent 5-star weapons, there are multiple decent 4-star options available as well:

  • The Black Sword
  • Lion’s Roar 
  • Blackcliff Longsword
