She’s definitely a workaholic, but don’t be fooled — she’ll be just as dedicated to serving your team in battle as she is to serving the people of Liyue, making her a great Electro or Physical DPS to lead your party.
This guide will show you how to create the best Keqing build inGenshin Impact. Below we’ll cover everything you need to know about Keqing, including wishing, weapons, artifacts, ascension materials, talents, abilities, and constellations.

Best Keqing build: Weapons
Regardless of what role Keqing is playing in your team, her best weapon is thePrimordial Jade Cutter, which increases CRIT Rate and HP and provides an ATK Bonus that scales off of the user’s Max HP. Unfortunately, this sword is a bit tricky to obtain, as it’s a limited weapon only available at certain times. If you can’t get the Primordial Jade Cutter, we’d recommend the 5-starSummit Shaper, which increases ATK, or the 4-starThe Black Sword, which increases CRIT Rate. For a Physical DPS Keqing, thePrototype Rancour, which increases Physical DMG, is another obtainable option. Overall, with Keqing, you should aim for any weapon that can provide a CRIT Rate or ATK buff — both of these stats are vital in building Keqing to her full potential.
Best Keqing build: Artifacts
Since Keqing is a versatile character, her best artifacts vary depending on her role. If your Keqing is an Electro DPS (meaning you’ll frequently be using her Elemental Skill and Burst), try equipping her with a2-piece Thundering Fury setand a2-piece Gladiator’s Finale set. This nifty combination will increase both your ATK and Electro DMG, allowing for a versatile build. Of course, if you’re going to completely ignore her Normal Attacks, using a4-piece Thundering Furyis viable, but we wouldn’t recommend this.
When selecting stats and substats for Keqing’s artifacts, you’ll want to prioritize ATK% and CRIT Rate/DMG regardless of her role. If she’s an Electro DPS in your team, throwing in a bit of Electro DMG Bonus is helpful, while Physical DPS Keqing benefits from the Physical DMG Bonus stat.
Best Keqing build: Ascension Materials
To fully ascend Keqing, you’ll need a total of 1 Vajrada Amethyst Sliver, 9 Vajrada Amethyst Fragments, 9 Vajrada Amethyst Chunks, 6 Vajrada Amethyst Gemstones, 46 Lightning Prisms, 168 Cor Lapis, 18 Whopperflower Nectar, 30 Shimmering Nectar, and 36 Energy Nectar.
To get enough Vajrada Amethyst and Lightning Prisms, you’ll need to fight the Electro Hypostasis quite a few times. You’ll also need to roam Teyvat in search of some other materials — you’ll find Cor Lapis forming near rocky cliffs in Liyue (check Mt. Aocang and Cujue Slope!) and Whopperflowers hiding throughout Teyvat.
Best Keqing build: Talents
Hoping to fully level up Keqing’s talents? You’ll need 9 Teachings of Prosperity, 63 Guides to Prosperity, 114 Philosophies of Prosperity, 18 Whopperflower Nectar, 66 Shimmering Nectar, 93 Energy Nectar, 18 Rings of Boreas, and 3 Crowns of Insight.
Since Keqing is suited as both a physical DPS and an Electro DPS character, her talent priority falls on which role she’s playing in your team. In both cases, you’ll still want to prioritize herNormal Attackfirst (unless you’re exclusively using her Elemental Skill and Burst). If your Keqing is mainly dealing physical damage, you’re going to want to keep her Normal Attack’s level much higher than her other abilities. On the other hand, if she’s dealing Electro damage, you’re going to want to level herElemental SkillandBurstas well, with priority falling on her Skill. Here’s what all of her talents have to offer:
Best Keqing build: Constellations
Keqing’s Constellations don’t really provide any impressive buffs to her kit, and since she’s a 5-star character whose Constellations will cost hundreds of hours (or dollars), we’d recommend against wishing for these. However, if you’re really dedicated to your Keqing build,Constellations 4 and 6provide sturdy bonuses to her Electro abilities, which can be especially helpful if she’s an Electro DPS on your team. Here’s what all of her Constellations have in store:

How to get Keqing in Genshin Impact
Keqing is a permanent character on the Standard Wishbanner, meaning you’ll be able to get her at any time despite her 5-star rarity. In early 2021, Keqing was promoted on the Character Event Wish banner with a boosted drop rate. Sadly, it’s rare for Standard Wish banner characters to be featured on the Character Event Wish banner, so it’s unlikely that Keqing will be back for another promotion in the near future.
