Keqing Overview

This Page provides the Best Keqing Build information.

Keqing is the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing. Has much to say about Rex Lapis’ unilateral approach to policymaking in Liyue – but in truth, gods admire skeptics such as her quite a lot.

Keqing is the second powerful Electro DPS in Genshin Impact at the moment. Keqing Main DPS and Sup DPS Build are mostly used by travelers. Her Elemental Burst AoE damage is good to be used when you are fighting with a huge crowd.

Keqing has different ways to help the party. Not only can dish out DPS within short period of time by using the Elemental Burst, but her Electro damage from her elemental skill also help trigger element reaction easily. Crit Rate and Crit dmg are the most important stats for Keqing, so the Main DPS Build and Sub DPS Build will also help travelers to stack the Crit dmg and Crit Rate for Keqing.

In Genshin Impact, Keqing is a 5 Stars rarity Electro character currently in B tier.
