Keqing Build & Teams: Electro Heavy-Attack Carry & Aggravate Core

How Keqing Works

Keqing's output centers on her Charged Attacks:

• Skill dash + Charged Attack = rapid multi-hit Electro DMG with enhanced "Swordplay" phases.
• Each Charged hit on a Quicken'd target triggers Aggravate: +1.15× Level Multiplier (L90 = 1664 flat DMG).
• Higher attack frequency = more Aggravate triggers. Keqing is one of the best Aggravate carries.

Artifacts

Set	2pc	4pc
Thundering Fury	+15% Electro DMG	+20% Aggravate, +40% Overload/Charged/Superconduct; after triggering, E CD −1s (once/0.8s)
Gladiator's Finale	+12% ATK	After E, team Crit DMG +24% for 20s (on-field burst use)
Instrument of the Fortified Will	+20% ER	Team DMG buff after teammates' Bursts; good for Electro support slots

Main & Sub Stats

Slot	Main Stat
Sands	ATK% (Charged carry preferred) / Elemental Mastery (Aggravate teams)
Cup	Electro DMG Bonus
Circlet	Crit Rate / Crit DMG

Sub-stat priority: Crits > ATK% > EM. Aggravate teams raise EM to inflate Aggravate values; pure Electro carries lean Crits.

Weapons

Weapon	Rarity	Notes
Mistsplitter Reforged	5★	Strongest for a Charged carry; high Crit bonus
Skyblade	5★	Crit DMG substat; great for full-crit Keqing
Royal Longsword	5★	ATK-based; solid F2P 5★ option

Team Comps

Aggravate Team (optimal)

Keqing (DPS) + Fischl (off-field Electro) + Nahida (Dendro/EM) + Zhongli (shield/shred)

• Fischl's Oz applies Electro + Nahida applies Dendro → target stays Quicken'd.
• Keqing's Charged hits on the Quicken target trigger Aggravate throughout.
• Zhongli's shield keeps her safe on-field; C6 shred amplifies the whole rotation.

Pure Electro Team

Keqing + Fischl + Kujou Sara (C6: team Electro Crit DMG) + Kokomi (ER + healing)

• Electro Resonance: Electro reactions drop Electro particles → fast ER.
• Sara's C6 gives team-wide Electro Crit DMG; Keqing's Charged attacks cash in.

Constellation Priority

• C6: Every Normal/Charged/Skill hit adds +6% Electro DMG (stacks infinitely) — the game-changer, top priority.
• C4: After triggering an Electro reaction, ATK +25% — very strong in Aggravate teams.

FAQ

Is Keqing still viable now?

Yes. Aggravate brings her back to strength — the flat DMG bonus plus her high Charged frequency make her a strong F2P/low-cost Electro carry. Ceiling is lower than Raiden/Yae, but she's far easier to build.

Kazuha or Sucrose with Keqing?

Kazuha is better (shred + grouping) but rarer. Sucrose is the F2P equivalent — her 4pc Viridescent Venerer shred is the same, and she adds Swirl + particle generation.

Keqing on-field or off-field?

Strictly on-field. She relies on Charged attacks, so off-field use is pointless. Build the rest of the team to enable her on-field window.

Does Keqing need Energy Recharge?

Her Skill CD is 12s; Thundering Fury 4pc reduces it by 1s per reaction. Prioritize Crits; add ER from substats only as needed.

No Mistsplitter — what weapon?

Skyblade (Crit DMG) > Royal Longsword > 4★ Lion's Roar (DMG buff). F2P: forge Royal Longsword or use event weapons.
