ULTIMATE KEQING GUIDE! (Aggravate, Teams, Weapons, Builds, Combos etc.) | Genshin Impact Ver 3.6

[@giornopotanna3270]

Pulled Keqing on her banner back in february 2021 and she's still C0 :') I always used her. I started with an electro-charged team pre-3.0, now with aggravate I can finally do a shit ton of damage and clear abyss too. I followed this guide to improve her further and the results are pretty good, thanks!

[@marcusaurelius4777]

I like these updated guides, since the major content creators usually have abandoned older characters or did a Sumeru 3.0 update guide series and then kind of left it, where there is still content to cover on this kind of thing. Much appreciated.

[@AzureDrag0n1]

Sucrose works as well as an alternative to Kazuha. However, it is harder to make work with Nahida. If you do not have Nahida then Sucrose works well as an external source of EM. She can also use TTDS or Prototype Amber.

This banner has been one of the best ever, Nihida, Shinobu and luckily enough I got Kequing as well (been playing for many years but I had never gotten her) my electro guys were quite lacking with Raiden being the only viable one I have, with Nihida, Shinobu and KeKING lol my account has been really upgraded now, I had lots of 5 star DPS but I needed more mixed and support roles so feeling great about it

[@yubinator7455]

I don't think Pure Electro Keqing is (a bit) weaker than Aggravate Keqing. Aggravate just made it the high dmaage ceiling accessible to most people with just Dendro MC and Collei unlike on Pure Electro that need a highly invested Bennett, Sara, Weapon, and very optimized stats.

[@BobDaManiac]

Isn't the synergy between Keqing and Fish C6 meant to be really good in aggravate teams? Surprised it didn't get a mention. Likewise quickswap keqing with no healer, many 'popular' teams I've seen were keq,fish,kaz,dendro like tig - however I tried this, and couldn't maintain HP in this abyss..

[@kirofx_]

Hi Thank you so much (from a french keqing player) I have a question : Is Aquila favonia is good for Keqing Aggravate or Lion's roar R4 is better ?

[@KeithJamesChua]

Aquila is pretty useless for Aggravate Keqing. Lion's Roar is always better

[@grandbean9031]

Is 60CR 160CD 149EM and 109 more att without kazuha c2 good enough compared to the build at 11:38? I know my build is not as good but is it like comparably enough to clear abyss 12? That's without counting the substat from weapon. I'll be using mistsplitter.

[@alexegoleanu942]

One more mention, while Mist boosts her a lot you'll lose a stack really quick after one burst so PJC does more in the long run, and for overall dmg PJC does more if you have really good artifacts for both weapons

[@KeithJamesChua]

That's not actually true for a number of reasons. I'll just use my own keqing as an example since they both have very similar artifact quality (218cv for PJC and 223cv for Mistsplitter) Firstly, Aggravate scales much better with Mistsplitter. This is because it's flat atk buff still gets benefits from % dmg bonus, which the Mistsplitter provides. The PJC only has a mountain of attack, which while still good, is not as impactful. Secondly, using a damage calculator and testing for average damage for her N1, at 1 stack the Mistsplitter loses very slightly, but the moment you get 2 stacks it outperforms the PJC. In Keqing's rotation, because she frontloads a lot of her damage with 3 stacks, and also because maintaining the first 2 stacks are very easy, Mistsplitter will always do better in a similar scenario with the same artifact quality. The NA stack can obviously be maintained easily, while the Burst stack lasts 10s. The only stack you risk losing is the energy stack, but even then it still will take a while before you do. Keqing very rarely lasts 10s on the field before being swapped off, so within that time Mistsplitter builds will usually do much more damage than PJC. The only scenarios where you genuinely lose damage is if you don't use your Burst to open your rotation, but in those cases it's usually because it isn't worth it so it wouldn't make a big difference for either build.

[@alexegoleanu942]

@@KeithJamesChua I also have both with good ratios for Mist 77-248 and PJC 82-254 it may favor PJC artifacts but it deals more dmg in my case as it gives me higher atk despite mist's big base atk, don't get me wrong, it's a really good weapon but I have to prove myself, you can watch Zyox's Keqing guide and skip to the weapon section, there he has a weapon ranking made with the help of Ask Zajeff and that guy knows what he's doing, although all 5* weapons are really good on Keqing the difference between them being by a few percentages

[@KeithJamesChua]

I think this is really hard to say. I don't regularly look at charts if I'm able to do testing myself, from my own testing Mistplitter outperformed PJC, and looking at KQM's charts (don't get me wrong, I lowkey hate KQM but I just check their numbers every now and then), they also seem to indicate Mistplitter pulling ahead of PJC. Similarly, a lot of reddit charts indicate similarly. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that in nearly every scenario I've seen, including my own, Mistsplitter pulls ahead in a full team scenario. That said, the difference is pretty much never more than 5% in basically every comparison I've seen, so the real correct answer is it doesn't matter

[@alexegoleanu942]

[@FluffyWing07]

Due to my artifact rng my prefered choice is jadecutter. Kequing REALLY wants crit rate, should be around 80-90% after ascension cr buff. The amount of hits she does makes her very crit rate demanding, more than the average char. I run a c6 kequing since almost a year, triple crowned and i have mistsplitter too. It really depends on your substats. I outclass my mistsplitter by the sheer amount of crit dmg i can equip while maintaining almost 70cr without procing the ascension. With my best artifact options and a cr circlet i loose 40%crit dmg when i go with the mistsplitter.

[@ashishadhikari3118]

I love Keqing. I play normal attack oriented aggravate Keqing because I have Ayato's sword. I use charged attacks every now and then though.

would anybody know a good team for my keqing? all 4 stars except kaveh (as of 4.1) and most of them are level 71. don't have nahida, don't have kazuha either, not really any 5 stars that could benefit her except maybe venti. my current team is: Keqing, Kirara, Kuki Shinobu, Venti. keqing is on 2PC TF 2PC gladiator, not the best but i only recently decided to swap to aggravate so im still trying to get her on full 4PC TF, venti is on 2PC VV and 2PC wanderers troupe, again not that great im also trying to get him on 4PC VV. my keqing has lvl 90 mistplitter, and is triple crowned at C1, im unsure of how i should build her, and what supports i should put her with, but my current guess is: 4PC VV venti, kujou sara on emblem (im guessing? i don't really know how to build sara), and anyone dendro (i would go yao yao if i did run this team for a healer, and her turnips aren't too bad at applying dendro but collei/dendro traveller would be better)

[@MrQuiritto]

I would recommend Keqing, Fishcl, Yaoyao and Kazuha, if your keqing and fischl is well built this team can be really strong since you don't have kazuha you can use sucrose instead, but I would recommend getting kazuha in the future.

[@oOLiquidSnakeOo]

What about Blackcliff Longsword? Been playing her a while with this weapon and find it much superior to Black Blade due to the Crit DMG instead of Crit Rate.

[@KeithJamesChua]

I answered this in another comment so I'm just going to copy paste it here: "Imo it sucks. It only serves as a CD stat stick, it's expensive to refine because it costs so much Starglitter, and the passive is unreliable since it requires kill stacks. Against bosses, you will never be able to build any stacks, and against weaker enemies your opening rotation will be quite low DPS as well. Not to mention that Keqing's teammates will usually be able to take out majority of trash mobs in the game, so if Keqing doesn't get the kill the passive doesn't activate either. It's just an unreliable weapon overall and the EM options are just better." In addition, the crit value of Blackcliff is lower than Black sword (36cv VS 54cv), so its still worse even purely from a stat perspective

[@aquatazer]

I just decided to finally commit to building my (now) C5 Keqing a few days ago, and this guide was very helpful. She’s doing pretty solid damage right now even at level 80 with 7, 9, 9 talents (they’re 9 because of constellations) on 2 Piece Attack 2 Piece TF because I have absolutely terrible luck in that domain. I run her with Mistsplitter on a team with a level 70 Kuki with Key, Level 80 C0 Nahida with Sac Frags, and Level 90 C0 Kazuha with Freedom-Sworn. I’m gonna triple-crown her since she seems to love me, as my next-highest standard character con’s I have is a C3 Jean. My favorite team to use honestly is Fischl, Kazuha, Kirara, Keqing because the interruption resistance is pretty integral to getting Keqing’s CAs off. It’s also nice because Kirara does solid individual damage, although she definitely doesn’t apply as much Dendro as Nahida. It’s a weird give-and-take, and I also have a C5 Kirara because I went all-out for her on that Yoimiya banner. Thanks again for the video, I’m hoping I can get that C6 Keqing at some point soon just to solidify that she for some reason wants to be my favorite character. I’ve wanted to get another Mona for my C3 for over a year and gotten three Keqing’s in that same time frame.

[@isawyou5517]

Damn, aggravate is mad op

[@Defi4nc3s1]

She is my second 5* on the account, a heavy early carry with either electro-charged or physical attacks. Has great exploration methos, considerable low cd on both, burst and skill. Low energy requirement (40 for burst is insane). With the Dendro her playstyle is revived since Nahida keeps the dendro aura, while Keqing, applies alot of fast electro applications. Her teaser or quick-swap teams are good, but nowadays there is people who do it simillar or better. Its honestly a bad thing, that until the release of Inazuma (Mistsplitter), she didn't have a solid weapon (outside of BP). The Lion's Roar is terrible at low refinements and at later stages of the game has a terrible stats compared to other choice of weapons (namely the craftable Inazuma sword and Kazuha's story sword). That encouraged people to mainly build her on solo Physical part (with many having the Aquila Favonious. One of the best OG's characters who should not be forgotten by Mihoyo when they decide the next buffs (hopefully, someday). Her outfit is gorgeous and very good with either Haran or Mistsplitter by side.

should the dendro character like nahida use deepwood because it only decrease dendro res not electro res since agg is electro so noblesse is good?

[@KeithJamesChua]

Deepwood is still preferred because Nahida's damage still makes up a large portion of the team DPS. Sacrificing Deepwood would result in a greater DPS loss, and Noblesse's buff to Keqing isn't super impactful, especially in an atk buffing reaction like Aggravate. Also, you should just get Electro shred from VV on your Anemo character anyway.

[@aspectparadox6654]

How do we get 70% crit rate if we are using a crit dmg headpiece and no crit rate weapons? You'd need like 12% crit rate from each artifact

then just don't use a crit dmg hat??? Crit rate hats exist, what kinda question is this lmao

[@aspectparadox6654]

Isn't it standard to use crit dmg hats for dps units as it's hard to get 160% crit dmg without? That's what is usually done in Star Rail so I'd assume it'd be similar here too.@@KeithJamesChua

[@KeithJamesChua]

No, you use whatever helps you balance your stats properly. The crit value of a crit rate mainstat and crit dmg mainstat is the exact same, so there's no difference. This is the same in Star Rail as well, there's no such thing of only using Crit Dmg hats for DPSes. You use whatever achieves a better balance for the crit ratio

[@artourarmstrong4349]

how about keqing collei/kaveh kazuha and xingqiu ? my current team is keqing fish xinq kazuha it does nice but i can't pass abyss 11 when i fight the mirror maiden with my team 2 consist of diluc bennet sucrose qiqi ( i stopped playing since kazuha first release and just came back when shenhe banner was up pulled 3times then i got her quit again and just came back 5days ago thats why my main dps are still keqing and diluc coz i got them both back then when the game was first release haha.

[@KeithJamesChua]

I don't recommend a Hydro character like Xingqiu in the party. Hydro + Dendro is going to cause problems and prevent Keqing to do a lot of Aggravate, and Quickbloom isn't great for Keqing since she's not that incentivised to be built with a ton of EM. Using something like Keqing/DMC/Kazuha/Flex slot is going to be much better. Your flex slot can be a healer like Yaoyao/Kuki/Jean, a shielder like Zhongli, or another DPS like Fischl or Beidou if you are comfortable with not running a healer. Basically, any character that wouldn't remove Quicken will work in that slot.

[@andresberrelleza9813]

Guilded Dreams is slightly better than Thundering Fury. I've tested it multiple times preserving crit values almost the same with both sets. Tested with atk% weapons, crit weapons, em weapons, atk buffer supports, em buffer supports. Tried a lot of compositions and Guilded Dreams always did slightly more dmg. But I'm not saying you should drop you TF set if you already have a really good one, but if you don't you could consider farming for the GD one.

[@KeithJamesChua]

I mentioned it in the video but Gilded Dreams doing more damage is well known. BUT, TF has a lot of incalculable factors that make it better (better stamina management, more frequent Es, higher electro uptime, lower ER requirements) which all lead to higher DPS. GD might do more on each individual hit, but across a full or especially multiple rotations, TF pulls ahead by a significant amount. Just because it has a higher damage number doesn't mean it actually has better DPS

[@KeithJamesChua]

If your Fischl is C6, then yes. Fischl contributes a ton of damage and can make up for Kazuha. However, Kazuha has grouping which is very helpful for Keqing. In single target scenarios its fine, but in AoE scenarios especially against groupable but tanky enemies (like black serpent knights) not having Kazuha might be a struggle

Hi great guide. I have a question regarding Kuki in your build - which artifact set do you use/I should use for her in the same comp you use with Nahida and Kazuha. I see so many variations and haven't found a proper guide that would explain which choice is the best. Thank you

[@KeithJamesChua]

I initially thought this was a comment on the Kuki guide, so I answered in terms of Hyperbloom playstyle oops. Anyway, regarding Kuki's build in Aggravate teams, her set doesn't matter as much since she isn't proccing Hyperblooms. BUT, you can stick to Gilded Dreams and running full EM just because its convenient for when you do use her in another team for Hyperbloom playstyle. Kuki's role in Aggravate is really mainly as a healer and for Electro Resonance. However, you can also run Deepwood on Kuki and then run a DPS Gilded set on Nahida as well, which will help Nahida do more damage. But this does take more investment and thus might take longer to work towards. This is probably the optimal way to go if you want the most damage for this specific Keqing team

[@zurkie6627]

@@KeithJamesChua Thanks for the reply! So since Kuki is mainly there for healing/resonance purposes, I should go EM/HP scaling artifacts instead of EM/DMG/CRIT? Sorry if my questions are dumb, I just recently started playing the game😅

[@KeithJamesChua]

I still think you should try to go full EM/EM/EM so that she can open up to Hyperbloom playstyles in other teams, as constantly swapping artifacts around every time is going to get annoying real fast. You can definitely go with HP mainstat pieces if you feel you need more healing or just don't have any EM pieces though since her EM matters much less in this specific team though. Don't worry about the questions, my content is meant to help people who aren't as familiar with the game after all so its all good.

[@KeithJamesChua]

Definitely strong enough to clear floor 11. Floor 11 is not very difficult, so given time you will eventually be able to clear it. Regarding Eula, unless you really like her, I don't recommend pulling her since she's not very good today by meta standards. Physical is in an awful spot rn, and her backloaded DPS makes her very frustrating to play, not to mention her actual DPS isn't that impressive anymore.

Wolf fang is not bad. Haven't tested it myself but just on stats alone it seems to be at least on the same level of Black Sword. Lynette is okay. Easier to use than Sucrose but definitely worse.

[@KeithJamesChua]

It doesn't really have much to do with the base attack. It's mainly because Lofi's EM scaling requires a large amount EM to be decent (which most people aren't going to have). Because Keqing is a fully atk scaling character, she's not as inventivised to be built with as much EM as someone as, say, Alhaitham, whose damage scales much more off of it. As such, she takes less advantage of the passive and the other weapons tend to pull ahead. Also, Lofi doesn't boost CAs or Q, only NAs and Es, which while good makes it less versatile than Mistsplitter and PJC. It's not a bad weapon, just not really worth specifically pulling for Keqing.

[@SomeoneSayOri]

@@KeithJamesChua I see. I though it's 96 CV would make it pull ahead of Haran at least but maybe I'm just overvaluing crit. I guess I should be glad I have Mistsplitter and not Light lol

Hi not sure if you’ll get this comment but I was wondering if you think baizuh would replace kuki better or not or be about the same.

[@KeithJamesChua]

No real difference imo. Both of them are really only there to fill the healer role. Baizhu alone won't work as a pure dendro applicator, so he's still going to need DMC/Nahida in the team anyway

[@dakotadawes2893]

@@KeithJamesChua Thanks! My kuki isn’t built for aggravate cause she’s my bloom bot so if baizuh works he’s comfier.

Exactly my team. Having kazuha and nahida as supports is enough damage so having kuki will be useful with the survivability.

[@albedo7577]

Just wanted to Ask is 4pc Thundering fury is really a good upgrade compared to 2pc TF and 2pc Glad? I Tried them and yes aggravate dmg on 4pc Tf is Better but she deals not enough consistent dmg since she can't trigger aggravate sometimes because of ICD, but with 2pc 2pc it's Consistent idk really i just unga bunga and Kill enemies with her, all of my friends tell me to use 4pc TF but i don't feel it, these are the stats 4Pc TF 60/240 1.8k atk 120 Em 2pc TF, 2pc Glad 60/290 2k atk 20 Em I use Nahida, c2 kazuha and zhongli with all these

[@KeithJamesChua]

A few things, 4TF will always outperform 2pc sets under similar artifact quality. Your 4TF set is a whole 50cv behind your 2pc set, so I'm not surprised it performs much worse. ICD is not a problem for Keqing because she applies Electro so much. Every other N1 will apply Aggravate, at least one of her CA slashes will proc it as well per wave, her E and E recast both don't have ICD, and her Burst initial and last hits don't have ICD either. So ICD isn't the problem. Last thing was what I mentioned in the artifact section, which is the QoL 4TF brings. Not needing to dash as much as well as more frequent E damage is an overall DPS increase that cannot be calculated easily because its very situational, not to mention 4TF also lowers her ER requirements to 0. Dashing less to catch up to enemies means more stamina to dodge and do more CAs in a rotation, something that is much harder without 4TF. 4TF might benefit you less depending on what weapon you are running though. If you use something like Haran or Lofi, where you generally do less CAs, then the benefit may not be as impactful

@@KeithJamesChua I can do 51/270 on 4pc TF with 130 Em, But the crit is not Consistent and the dmg is Identical, I still need to farm for 4pc TF since I think Cyno would be more beneficial on that set

[@syzenal4017]

i really like how ur guides skip strategies that are typically covered by more casual friendly genshin cc's (like physical keqing, and only focusing on aggravate comps as its the only good comp). Not that casual strategy advice is bad, but i think this gives you a nice niche in the cc community and i personally value more 'try hard' focused content.

[@KeithJamesChua]

Yea, I don't see a point in trying to promote something that's non-optimal. If someone was already gonna look up and watch a guide, it probably means they were looking to actually try to build and play the character properly anyway.

[@Ohmickeyyoursofinee]

can I use collei with keqing?

[@KeithJamesChua]

Yes

[@EclipsedYamiOld]

Could I use YaoYao (somehow got her to C6, yet I'm missing chars like the water book nerd, Sucrose or Fischl 😭) as a replacement in the team Keqing, Kazuha and Kuki. Also, who would be a good replacement for Kuki in case YaoYao is good, as YaoYao already has the heal role. Maybe Fischl, Beidou or Raiden?

[@KeithJamesChua]

If you use Yaoyao as your Dendro applier, Fischl would probably be the best second Electro option for the team

@@KeithJamesChua One more question: I can't decide which team I should build first because i really love both Raiden and Keqing, a Raiden Sara Kazuha Bennett team or the Keqing Fischl Kazuha Yaoyao team. What would you recommend?

[@KeithJamesChua]

Raiden is generally an easier character to build damage for, easier to play, and her ER helps her teammates too, so if you had to pick between Raiden and Keqing (in terms of meta), then Raiden is much better. Also, if your Sara is not C6, I don't recommend using her. You can just use someone else like DMC instead

Hi, I am a decently new player to genshin (2 weeks) and AR 40 rn . Do you think wishing for a nahida is worth it . or is there a higher priority char or weapon ı should wait for. my team rn consist of Keqing/Fischl/dendro mc/benet and weopon is r2 iron sting.

[@KeithJamesChua]

Nahida is going to help Keqing out a ton, but that being said I feel Kazuha is going to be a bigger priority due to his flexibility in a lot of other teams and his insane buffs. I do think Nahida is very worth pulling for, and considering you're only AR40 you have a ton more Primogems you're going to be able to farm. So imo if you like Nahida you should just pull her anyway. That said, Kazuha is almost definitely a higher priority character to pull for.

[@sasukekirito9161]

what do you think about keqing kazuha nahdia and benett for more dmg?

[@KeithJamesChua]

Not a fan. Bennett + Nahida is inevitably going to cause issues due to Burning, which will hurt Quicken/Aggravate uptime. Also, its going to be much harder to ensure Kazuha infuses the correct element since Pyro has a higher infusion priority than Electro, which further pushes the previous problem. Bennett's circle is also sometimes gonna be a problem since the moment you go outside of it, Keqing loses a ton of damage, which she will do a lot of unless you happen to be fighting a boss. Bennett just causes more problems than helps an Aggravate team. If you wanted a healer and Atk buffer, just using Yaoyao and Sara instead is much better. Also, I'm a very big C6 Bennett advocate (though most content creators are these days), so I inevitably cannot even use them together anyways since my own Bennett on my main account is C6.

[@giansabbadini1626]

Couldn't help but notice you didn't mention Blackcliff in the weapons section, is there any particular reason for it?

[@KeithJamesChua]

Imo it sucks. It only serves as a CD stat stick, it's expensive to refine because it costs so much Starglitter, and the passive is unreliable since it requires kill stacks. Against bosses, you will never be able to build any stacks, and against weaker enemies your opening rotation will be quite low DPS as well. Not to mention that Keqing's teammates will usually be able to take out majority of trash mobs in the game, so if Keqing doesn't get the kill the passive doesn't activate either. It's just an unreliable weapon overall and the EM options are just better.
