Focus On Build CR/CD

Although her best in slot for this build is the Aquila Favonia, whether you use it or not depends on the CR/CD of your Keqing. If you're lacking in any of the two, it's better to have a CR/CD weapon equipped instead. Only use Aquila Favonia if you have a good CR/CD on her artifacts.
