Sustain
Aggravate teams are Keqing's best performing teams. The slots are rather flexible, but you need at least one other Electro character combined to one character with a good Dendro application such as Nahida. The last slot can be filled with characters such as Kaedehara Kazuha or Xilonen for the RES Shred, or a shielder such as Lan Yan.
Keqing's rapid Electro strikes and multi-hit Burst frequently trigger Aggravate, scaling exceptionally well with the flat DMG bonuses provided by the reaction.
Fischl's A4 passive triggers repeatedly when Keqing procures Aggravate, creating a powerful damage loop of coordinated Electro strikes.
Nahida provides unrivaled Dendro application and a significant EM buff, which directly increases the damage of Keqing's Aggravate procs.
Xilonen offers sustained healing and powerful RES shred through the Hero of Cinder City set, amplifying Keqing's Electro damage without disrupting reactions.
Talents & Constellations
Talents
Keqing performs a sequence of Sword-based Normal Attacks.
Hurls a Lightning Stiletto that annihilates her opponents like the swift thunder. When the Stiletto hits its target, it deals Electro DMG to opponents in a small AoE, and places a Stiletto Mark on the spot hit. Hold Hold to adjust the direction in which the Stiletto shall be thrown. Stilettos thrown by the Hold 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 she uses Stellar Restoration again, she will blink to the location of the Mark and unleash one slashing attack that deals AoE Electro DMG. 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 DMG. "Humans are like moths, endlessly chasing the flame we call gods and adepti. But this light that I have here is my own."
Keqing unleashes her lightning ability to deal Electro DMG in an AoE. She follows it up with a series of Electro strikes to nearby enemies, rapidly hitting them simultaneously.
