Keqing excels in both rapid Electro DPS roles and can adapt to physical DPS with the right build. Her versatility in playstyle makes her valuable in many team setups, particularly those requiring swift Electro application.
Keqing is an Electro DPS character in Genshin Impact known for her fast attacks and high mobility. Here’s how to maximize her potential:
Suggested Weapons 
•Aquila Favonia: It provides the highest base ATK among swords, increases ATK further when Keqing takes damage, and its passive healing can be beneficial, aligning well with her aggressive playstyle.
•Primordial Jade Cutter: Offers a high CRIT Rate, giving Keqing consistent crits, and boosts HP with an additional ATK bonus based on max HP.
•Mistsplitter Reforged: Great for Keqing due to its CRIT DMG and the ability to stack elemental DMG bonuses, particularly effective with her ability to infuse her weapon with Electro.
•Lion's Roar: Increases damage against enemies affected by Electro or Pyro, fitting well if you're using Keqing for Electro reactions like Overload or Electro-Charged.
Artifacts
•2-piece Thundering Fury + 2-piece Gladiator's Finale: Provides an Electro DMG Bonus and increases ATK by 18%. This is straightforward for increasing both her Electro and physical damage.
•4-piece Thundering Fury: Enhances her Electro-related reactions, reduces Elemental Skill cooldown upon triggering an Electro reaction, which is fantastic for Keqing's kit focusing on quick Electro application.
•4-piece Pale Flame: If focusing on a Physical DPS build, this set can increase Physical DMG significantly and stack ATK bonuses every time her Elemental Skill hits, which works well with her ability to quickly reapply her Skill.
Stat Priorities
•Sands: ATK% or Energy Recharge if you need more burst uptime.
•Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus for an Electro build or Physical DMG Bonus for a Physical build.
•Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG, depending on which stat you need to balance for a 1:2 ratio.
Substats to Look For
•CRIT Rate
•CRIT DMG
•ATK%
•Energy Recharge (especially important for maintaining high uptime on her Elemental Burst)
Talent Priority
•Elemental Skill (E) - Stellar Restoration: Key for mobility, Electro infusion of her weapon, and quick damage. Also used for generating energy particles.
•Elemental Burst (Q) - Starward Sword: Her burst deals massive Electro DMG over a short duration, making it a priority for DPS.
•Normal Attack: Important for consistent damage output, especially if you're building for a more hybrid or physical approach.
Team Composition
•Electro Reaction Teams: Pair with Hydro for Electro-Charged (Xingqiu, Barbara), Pyro for Overload (Bennett, Xiangling), or Cryo for Superconduct (which also reduces physical resistance, useful for physical builds).
•Support: Characters like Fischl can provide consistent off-field Electro application, while Bennett can offer healing and an ATK buff.
•Anemo Support: An Anemo user like Sucrose or Jean for Swirl reactions, crowd control, and elemental resistance reduction via Viridescent Venerer set.
•Shield or Healer: Zhongli for his strong shields or any healer to keep Keqing on the field longer.
Playstyle Tips 
•Electro Infusion: Utilize her Elemental Skill to infuse her sword with Electro for high-speed Electro attacks.
•Teleportation: Use her ability to re-cast her Elemental Skill to teleport short distances, which can be used for both dodging and repositioning in combat.
•Burst Combo: Lead with her Elemental Burst when possible for high initial damage, then follow up with normal and charged attacks.
•Stamina Management: Her charged attack consumes stamina, so manage stamina carefully during prolonged fights to maintain mobility and attack chains.
