Keqing kit

Keqing is a 5-Star Electro character who uses a sword, and keeping in mind that all of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Skills, here's a summary of Keqing's kit in Genshin Impact:
- Element: Electro.
- Rarity: 5-Star.
- Weapon: Sword.
- Normal Attack: Yunlai Swordsmanship.
- Elemental Skill: Stellar Restoration.
- Elemental Burst: Starward Sword.
- Passive one: Thundering Penance - After recasting Stellar Restoration while a Lightning Stiletto is present, Keqing's weapon gains an Electro Infusion for five seconds.
- Passive two: Aristocratic Dignity - When casting Starward Sword, Keqing's Crit Rate is increased by 15%, and her Energy Recharge is increased by 15%. This effect lasts for eight seconds.
- Passive three: Land's Overseer - When dispatched on an expedition in Liyue, time consumed is reduced by 25%.
Keqing Normal Attack - Yunlai Swordsmanship
Keqing performs up to five rapid strikes if tapping the normal attack button. Holding it down instead makes Keqing consume a certain amount of stamina to unleash two rapid sword strikes.
As with most plunging attacks, Keqing plunges from mid-air and strikes the ground below for AOE (area of effect) damage on impact.

Keqing Elemental Skill - Stellar Restoration
Keqing hurls a Lightning Stiletto that annihilates her opponents like the swift thunder. When the Stiletto hits its target, it deals Electro Damage to opponents in a small AOE, and places a Stiletto Mark on the spot hit.
You can hold the Elemental Skill button to adjust the direction in which the Stiletto will be thrown. Stilettos thrown by this holding attack mode can be suspended in mid-air, allowing Keqing to jump to them when using Stellar Restoration a second time.
Lightning Stiletto
If Keqing uses Stellar Restoration again or uses a charged attack while its duration lasts, it will clear the Stiletto Mark and produce different effects:
- If Keqing uses Stellar Restoration again, she will blink to the location of the Mark and unleash one slashing attack that deals AOE Electro Damage. When blinking to a Stiletto that was thrown from a holding attack, Keqing can leap across obstructing terrain.
- If Keqing uses a charged attack, she will ignite a series of thundering cuts at the Mark's location, dealing AOE Electro Damage.
Keqing Elemental Burst - Starward Sword
Keqing unleashes the power of lightning, dealing Electro Damage in an AOE. She then blends into the shadow of her blade, striking a series of thunderclap-blows to nearby opponents simultaneously that deal multiple instances of Electro Damage. The final attack deals massive AOE Electro Damage.
Keqing Talent materials

To get the most out of using Keqing, you will have to level her skills up by using Talent materials, which vary from character-to-character.
For Keqing, you'll need to farm a lot of Nectar and Prosperity materials (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade her capabilities.
As Keqing has three Talents, you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of her abilities, which we've also detailed below the table.
Here's what Keqing Talent materials you need to improve one of her abilities:

Version 5.4 with Mizuki is nearly here! For now, during version 5.3 we have Arlecchino and Clorinde. So don't forget to redeem new codes for Primogems to help pull them, and check out our regularly updated tier list. You need luck from the Pity and 50/50 systems to Wish with Fate for characters on Banners, and you always need the right Adventure Rank for events. Elsewhere, we have tips and tricks for beginners.
Keqing Ascension materials

Just like Talents, you need to use Keqing Ascension materials to upgrade her health, attack, defence, and critical hit effectiveness.
You'll need to farm a lot of Cor Lapis and Nectar materials for Keqing (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade her capabilities.
Unlike Talent materials, you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Keqing to her highest character level. There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels. You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons.
Here's what Keqing Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade her for each Ascension level:
Keqing Ascension level | Keqing Ascension materials | Mora cost | Ascension reward |
---|---|---|---|
Level 20 | x1 Vajrada Amethyst Sliver, x3 Cor Lapis, x3 Whopperflower Nectar | 20,000 | x1 Acquaint Fate |
Level 40 | x3 Vajrada Amethyst Fragment, x2 Lightning Prism, x10 Cor Lapis, x15 Whopperflower Nectar | 40,000 | None |

Keqing Constellations
By getting duplicates of Keqing from wishing on Banners, you will receive her Stella Fortuna. This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels, with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability.

Here are all of Keqing's Constellations in Genshin Impact:
- Thundering Might (C1): Recasting Stellar Restoration while a Lightning Stiletto is present causes Keqing to deal 50% of her attack as AOE Electro Damage at the start point and terminus of her Blink.
- Keen Extraction (C2): When Keqing's normal and charged attacks hit opponents affected by Electro, they have a 50% chance of producing an Elemental Particle. This effect can only occur once every five seconds.
- Foreseen Reformation (C3): Increases the Level of Keqing's Elemental Burst by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
- Attunement (C4): For 10 seconds after Keqing triggers an Electro-related Elemental Reaction, her attack is increased by 25%.
- Beckoning Stars (C5): Increases the Level of Keqing's Elemental Skill by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
- Tenacious Star (C6): When initiating a normal attack, a charged attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, Keqing gains a 6% Electro Damage Bonus for eight seconds. Effects triggered by normal attacks, charged attacks, Elemental Skills and Elemental Bursts are considered independent entities.
Good luck levelling up Keqing in Genshin Impact!
