Keqing is the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing in Genshin Impact. She’s an Electro character that has some great abilities and passives.
Below, we’ve listed down all of the information you need to know about Keqing. This includes her moveset, abilities, passives, talents, constellations and build suggestions.
Keqing Attacks and Abilities
Melee: Yunlai Swordsmanship
- Normal Attack: Attacks the target 5 times in quick succession.
- Charged Attack: Performs two rapid sword strikes at the cost of some Stamina.
- Plunging Attack: Leaps up into the air and attacks the targets on the ground. This attack deals damage as she’s jumping up and also deals AoE damage when she lands.
Elemental Skill: Stellar Restoration
- She shoots out a Lightning Stiletto towards the target, which deals AoE Electro damage upon impact and puts a Stiletto Mark on the area where it struck.
- While performing this attack, you can hold to determine the direction where you want the Stiletto to go.
- If you use this attack twice or use a Charged Attack before its duration runs out, the Stiletto Mark will go away and new effects will be produced.
- If you perform this attack by holding, the Stiletto can be stopped in the air, which will enable you to leap to them when using this attack the second time.
- When Keqing blinks to a Mark that was placed from a holding attack, she’ll be able to jump across the terrain blocking her way.
- When using Stellar Restoration for a second time, Keqing will blink to the area where the Mark was and perform a slashing strike, which will deal AoE Electro damage.
- By using a Charged Attack, Keqing will spawn several thundering cuts at the area where the Mark was, which will deal Electro damage.
Elemental Burst: Starward Sword
- Keqing summons lightning bolts at the target, which will deal AoE Electro damage.
- She follows this up by blending into her blade’s shadow and striking the nearby targets several times, dealing great AoE Electro damage.
