Keqing Skill Guide & How To Use Keqing
Recommended Rotation For Keqing
| Recommended Rotation | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Elemental Skill as opener |
| 2 | Activate Elemental Skill again to get short Electo infusion. Spam Normal Attacks until it expires |
| 3 | Use Elemental Burst when available |
| 3 | Repeat Step 1 |
Uses Of Keqing's Elemental Skill

Should You Pull for Keqing's Constellation Or Best Weapon?
Constellations Are Nice But Not Necessary
| Constellation Priority |
|---|
| C4 > C6 |
C4 and C6 are Her Best Constellations
As a Standard Banner character, Keqing does not have a designated Signature Weapon. To get her constellations, you would need to wait for a Chronicled Wish banner or chance upon her in your rolls on the Standard Banner. Her strongest constellations start from her C4, which gives a modest Attack increase after triggering Electro-reactions, and C6 that gives her Electro DMG bonus whenever she attacks. As a general rule, unless you really want to vertically invest into a Standard Banner character, it's best to allocate funds elsewhere, such as in their best weapons and their best supports.
| Recommended Pull Priority |
|---|
| Mistsplitter Reforged > C4 > C6 |
Mistsplitter Reforged Is Her Best Weapon
Keqing can easily meet the conditions needed to fully stack Mistsplitter Reforged's passive. In addition, this sword is a strong universal weapon overall and can be used by a variety of characters that would appreciate the Crit substat and the Elemental DMG bonus, making it a good pick-up for a majority of accounts. If you want to be able to upgrade Keqing's performance without having to rely on chance, then getting Mistsplitter Reforged is ideal.
