My Keqing isn't even optimized... and she is already super powerful! I think she is extremely fun to play now with dendro. I cannot wait to get more upgrades and take her to the next level!
Literally why I never fight that thing if I can possibly avoid it, along with the black crap BS it shits onto the field. MHY needs to get their OCD about invulnerability phases looked into.
I feel like she's the burst frame queen. Because of this, if you a dodge master, you need little to no healing, thus, more dmg. You are even able to cancel out of the burst scene to continue the uptime on her burst, as well as quick swapping to other units for refreshing on their skills or bursts.
if u play her with blacksword u can skip healer yeah, dont be lazy on the dodge though i pair her with sucrose that hold prototype amber in aggravate and thats more than enough
@@ganyumaindayone1112 right now my team is keqing, venti, collei and kokomi, must say hyperbloom is absolutely incredible. i can get a total of 7 reactions with my team so i'm doing pretty well (swirl, electro charged, aggravate, spread, catalyze, bloom, and hyper bloom) :]
@@ItsJohnBomb well i got lucky and pulled keqing as my 4th character so she's been a character i've always used. and i just got venti and kokomi so i've been loving my team recently. venti is probably one of my favorite characters
Even now Keqing's Skill is one of the most unique and coolest in the game. The recent interview basically confirming she'll never get quality of life improvements (like her stamina issues) really hurt, but I'm glad she finally got an Elemental reaction to work with.
Just one tip from day 1 main Keqing: use E up the enemy then Q then use 2nd E cast, cause you will win a free aerial atk that hits really hard. U will gain around 15% total dmg just doing this. And never use CA like crazy, the best way to save stamine is doing N4+CA
It’s even better with Aggravate now. All talents gain the same amount of flat bonus dmg regardless of the talent’s scaling. This means that using Charged Attacks are not as important for her damage output compared to before.
I've always wanted keqing even since before she got a massive buff because I thought her playstyle was super fun. Super happy she's been buffed a lot now but I still don't have her yet. To all the keqing havers I hope you can have fun with her! She deserved this buff
I though Keqing is supposed to be everyone's first 5 star. I've seen many people that actually manage to own Keqing as their first 5 star after pulling in either standar or limited banner. She's my first 5 star too. How come you dont get her yet? Maybe I can assume that you are actually lucky I guess?
@@GSIndonesia I’ve won every 50/50 so far but I felt unlucky because I don't have her. Weird, I should be grateful I didn't lose Edit: And no, no 5 star is suppose to be your first one, it's a gacha game
Same. I played since 1.6 and still don't have her. I just recently lost to my first Tighnari on Venti's Banner, another moment when Keqing dodged me again. I got the rest being my 5-Star Standard Banner Characters are Diluc (C2), Jean & Mona (C1), and Qiqi & Tighnari (C0)
@@GSIndonesia It's all just RNG, you could get 15 Qiqi in a row if you get unlucky, and now they also added Tighnari to the standard banner so it just reduces the chances even that much more to get Keqing if you want her
12:15 this is actually why I use her with Kazuha, so when they get out of range, I just pull them all back in and swap to Keqing burst, it's kinda satisfying ngl
True i see not that large numbers but damn theyre health bar is draining fast the Ruin enemies on the Abyss feels so satisfying to beat nonstop quickswaping and its done instantly
@@carcas3d Easy team is Diona. Collei. Kazuha. You get 200 EM (which is a huge buff) And kazuha shred. Plus 60 EM more from c4 collei. We are talking almost broken AF damage output in mere seconds. Like Jesus that team is so freaking meta
@@oscarfunez3806 I use Keqing Mona Kazuha Jean, I really dont need Dendro that bad it is my team ever since but i will swap Mona with Nahida once she came
keqing has been my favorite since the beginning, personally due to her quick uptime on her burst, its so fun and fast paced, the addition of dendro has only made me love her even more
I got her yesterday when I lost a 50/50 wishing for my first Zhongli. I was pist, but then I upgrade her to level 60 and made and agravate team with Collei, Dendro traveler and Bennet. I love her now!!!
i've been maining keqing for a year now and never once regretted it, but damn am i happy to see how she's finally been buffed. here's to hoping i can get jade cutter so my build will finally be solid!
Fun fact:- For the first time, Dendro MC isn't the walmart version of Nahida. They two are entirely different units with different skill sets. If someone is wondering, "oH NaHiDa'S bUrST Is BaSiCaLlY a BiGgEr anD coOlEr VeRsIoN oF denDrO Mc'S burSt". No, they are totally different. Also, spoilers:- Nahida's burst doesn't even apply dendro, it just provides buffs based on the majority of element you have in your party. (anemo, cryo and geo excluded)
I think it is good that nahida's ult not applying constant dendro. It might reduces number of comp can be achieved. I might be wrong though my mind not that bright anymore
I think you missed the recent beta buffs her offield application from skill is outright better than mc so he is technically a Walmart version. And if you onfield Nahida it's going to be broken as hell
how nice to see a streamer appreciate my main. she is the reason why im still at genshin and i kid you not, keqing is deffo good. he noticed how spammable her skills are (the burst uptime is so quick) which make her give me a feeling of "i can do everything". plus, pairing her with fischl gives lots of damage per second.
Loved keqing even way before sumeru and elemental reaction with dendro was leaked to be coming. I’m so happy to see her doing so well and actually be useful for some people. I double crowned her in my older account but traded for yoimiya. But I build her in the account again and I can see she is way better than before :)
Keqing was always fun for me to play, but dendro has made her way stronger than before. She really only needs dendro and can fit into many different team comps. Even something like Keqing + dendro + 2 geos is great as the geo resonance helps aggravate too. Replace geo with hydro and Kuki and you have crazy reactions flying everywhere.
@@wolf0491 Lmao Same i have her C4 but didn't built her and i don't have Jean still and just got Mona first time last week, been using Keqing for expedition only. I'm considering building her once i got a good 4 Thundering fury set
Tashman - you should shout out KeqingMains for their amazing website and discord server that have guides for EVERYTHING! Keqing was the first 5 star unit I got on my account, I had a lot of good times exploring Liyue for the first time with her, using her skill to boost into high up spots. This is inspiring me to give her a little bit of love, the best weapon I have for her is a random Summit Shaper tho I think.
Summit shaper ain’t bad but you’re gonna be forced to run a shielder. Also you need good artifacts to get a decent crit ratio. Luckily enough keqing ascends with crit dmg so shouldn’t be to difficult
@@rico9815 Back in the day I used to use Black Sword to boost it up a bit, I'm sure I could put together a decent set but I don't think I've farmed the Electro domain for at least a year lol. Raiden took over as my main Waifu and also electro goddess, unfortunately Keqing hasn't seen much aside from Liyue expeditions ever since xD
She was my 1st 5 star, I got her on day 5 of playing Genshin, and she hasn’t left my team since. I’ve tripped crowned her, she’s C3, has decent artifacts, and I gave her a jade cutter sword. She does fantastic damage for me and after dendro was released she’s really a beast. I’m so happy more people are starting to realize she’s a great 5 star after electro got buffed with Dendro
Keqing was my first main dps that helped carried me all the way to AR 55 before moving on to better units like Hu Tao, Ayaka, Yomiya etc. But recently, I've been playing both Keqing and Fischl everyday with dendro and I've been having so much fun. It feels so great to be playing electro characters again! I''m also planning to triple crown my Keqing too! :D
Electro element has been my fave for a long time and I didn’t realize it till now that I just need yae to complete my collection. Also gonna triple crown my keqing and 90 her this week super fun rn. Also been running full aggravate teams on both sides of abyss with collei and DMC
She's my first 5* . Girl literally appears on the first noelle banner. Never have to re-roll. Used her for 2 years even thou i had Ayaka. Got her C6 because of Standard banner crazy luck, but gosh SHE NEEDS BUFF.
Yes Keqing is an awesome Quick Swap burst Dps ...i learnt this when i saw a video made by my fav Beidou main ...i think their name was Wallensteins...the nukes done by keqing were awesome ...they inspired me to build her
9:31 One of the most fun teams for me is Keqing, Venti, Kazuha and Bennett, constant E/Q quickswap with dmg that's totally fine for some AoE floors. Venti + Kazuha quickswaps in general are insanely fun to me, Kazuha's flexible grouping + Venti's crazy 8/15s grouping makes it very satisfying against some waves of enemies. A somewhat popular version of that is Kazuha, Venti, Xiangling and Bennett, where I put Sacrificial on Kazuha, then there's TF Kazuha who has a few team options alongside VV Venti.
damn i would usually have so much fun watching these types of vids but i really cant bring myself to care cause i know it doesnt really matter who u build now but mtashed always a joy to watch so yh :)
Thank you for this guide on Keqing, Mtashed. I think I will skip on building this character as it will cause me anxiety. I will keep watching this video in hopes that one day I can be brave enough to finally take the step forward and build Keqing. Have a nice day!
I decided to pull for cyno, I was too anxious that I wouldn't get him if I didn't pull for him, so the anxiety caused me to pull a d get him. Now I'm anxious that I don't have enough primos to refill resin since I need to farm so many resin dependant things to build him and now I'm anxious it'll take too long and that I might die sometime
I just got her a little bit ago when pulling on the Albedo banner for star dust. I got an acquaint fate from ascending her once, so I pulled on the standard banner and immediately got Diluc. So yeah, pretty sweet.
I've used her as my main DPS since I got her all the way back in late June and I don't regret it one bit. Current team is Dendro traveller, Xingqiu or Kaeya, Diluc and Keqing and I'm doing alright. I'm f2p btw
I have been using her as my main ever since I got her near launch I am working on on her crit rate because i had the problem of to much crit DMG and tiny rate so slowly working my way to build her better.
i have built keqing from the start but dropped her after i got more characters. After the dendro update though, I used my cyno artifacts on her and decided to use her until i got cyno. I got cyno but at the end I kind of regretted it because keqing seemed more reliable (for now) and I enjoyed playing her more. I will probably now min max her if i get nahida .
so far she works with my diluc with and she has constellation 1 unlocked atm i can say she is fast and quick on attack and her final slash of 5 hit combo allows her to dodge any incoming attack. she is quite the bomb imo and the quick recharge not to mention she gives that lil bit exploration boost with teleporting small distance if combo with Zhongli's tower and to finish it off barbaras water spell to infuse opponents with hydro and heavy electro afterwards then pyro if you want XD and even before her big special finishes you can use your quick burst to put on top of the dmg output. to finish this all off cyno is still a powerhouse purely when it comes to his specials but other that that i would switch him out still for her as main dmg
I suggest trying this Drop Zhongli and Fischl and put Beidou and Kazuha It's quite good in AoE and beidou is a plays defensive option with her DMG reduction and C1 shield (Her Q also greatly boost the shield's durability)
from someone who played keqing and now mains cyno, they both have very similar dmg and i think it comes down to prefrence whether who you want to pull for or use between cyno and keqing but i will say this... cyno is STUPID fun
Haven't played since may, but now that my waifu is useful, I might start again I think the benefit of Keqing now is that her numbers are a tiny bit lower than the top DPS's, but she is hitting so many people at once that it balances out
just pulled Kequing, I am a noob, AR32. Been playing Noelle LV60 (C5 - got lucky with free pulls now) as main with Whiteblind R2 ; since she was on free banner when I started 2 weeks ago. Other characters: Xiangling LV40- IF I decide to build her will need to get catch weapon I guess. Beidou LV49- with Debate Club R5 (LV20) for now - what weapon to get her? Kaeya LV40 - Prototype Rancour R1(LV40) MC LV40 - skyrider R5 (LV1) Barbara LV25(Tales of dragon slayers R5 lv 1) / Amber LV21 (YES THAT GIRL) / Lisa LV8 / Level one - new pulls: Ningguang / Razor / Bennet - C1 no weapons ****************** Looking for any advise on what you guys think is viable, since I am nearly F2P except will probably will get monthly pass only I do understand this a very recourse management game so would like to avoid mistakes :D Thank you so much all. Also what free weapons' to craft for these heroes so I can be actually able to refine as F2P
I have to admit. I got on the game about the time that Ei was first released and she was hyped up super hard. I lost the 50/50 and got Keqing. I used her as my main for like a year before Raiden came back. In about a month of having her I ended up loving the whole mechanics of how she is built. I thought of her as like a Bruce Lee type. Where she's small, but lighting fast and some of her attacks look brutal. I guess I am interested in fighting style more than damage output. When I got Ei it disappointed me because she wasn't really as good on field. And I found out her strength was her burst. Which is cool but turns out it's easier to build Keqing. I didn't swap out Keqing till Ayaka. Now my planned first triple crowns are Keqing and Ayaka. With or without dendro.
You will get a significantly higher DPS output if you replace Zhongli for Kazuha or C6 SucroseTTDS, Kazuha is preferred due to smoother rotations which is important since this team essentially has invincibility through their animations + Kazuha Jump. If you know how to play without Zhongli, you can achieve a much higher DPS even with Iron Sting (meaning if she uses Iron Sting + Kazuha, her damage will be higher than MS + Zhongli, and MS + Kazuha is peak)
You mean Keqing with Iron Sting and Kazuha will be higher than Keqing with Mistsplitter and Kazuha? That's really impressive. I have her with black sword for the crit rate, atk% sands, 61/215% with 1500+ ATK. Would switching to Iron Sting make the team stronger? My default party is Keqing, Dendro MC, Fishcl and Kazuha
@@GTChow Oh no I meant her equipped with Iron Sting and Kazuha is going to better than her equipped with MS and Zhongli. But if you wanted to get her peak damage, you’d run her with MS and Kazuha
@@GTChow I would keep black sword, if you have her running Iron Sting you’d have to swap out your crit damage circlet for crit rate which could potentially be better depending on the stats. But the way you’re set up now is really good
@@TyyyJr Thanks for the info man. Yeah, she currently uses a crit damage circlet, and her EM is quite low ~94 at the moment. Was wondering if there was an ideal EM range for aggravate Keqing
@@GTChow Ofc no problem bro, honestly she likes atk% a lot more than she does EM so your damage is still more than enough for the team to be doing crazy damage. The sweet spot is normally 150-200 before you wanna start worrying about diminishing returns anyway and that’s super easy to get with external sources (for example you could use SucroseTTDS instead of Kazuha to get extra EM, you could give Fischl Elegy for team EM share, or my personal favorite… a whopping 250 EM just from Nahida’s passive which solves all your worries)
When dendro came out I made a team out of Keqing Fichel kazuha and MC dendro and 36 abyss and I very happy because it was a different play style compare to ganyu melt and Hutao 👌🏻 looking forward to a nice hyperbloom team
I had the same reaction as mtashed in the beginning I'm just trying to build it for fun but i end up thinking i can use this in the abyss and it actually great i feel
I don't know if my comment will be read by Mr. Mtashed or not, but I hope so. Here I want to share my experiments on 3.0 Keqing with dendro. Aggravate Keqing, of course needs bunch of EM, but not that much. Aggravate is a bonus damage that is added to the character's base damage, thus, since base damage scales off of atk, Atk is also important on Keqing. I don't know the exact math for the EM, but IMO 100-150 EM is enough (around 50% aggravate bonus if you look at character details) especially when we use 4 piece Thundering Fury, it added 20% more, so the EM requirement could be lower. How can I say that? Here's my reason: 1. Aggravate is an additive reaction that adds a damage (that scales off of level, then multiplied by aggravate bonus from EM) to a character's Base Damage. Base damage itself, scales off of ATK, so that having high Atk also benefits the damage output. Attack stats still could not be neglected here. 2. Some theorycrafters said (shoutout to them) the difference between Atk and EM sands is little, it depends on the substat. Yes, I agree, however, Dendro MC gives bunch of EM (and also Nahida, can't wait to try this comp with her), yet the Atk buff is not that much since you can't use bennet with MC (Yes you still have 4 piece tenacity Zhongli and/or 4 piece Noblesse MC) thus, the aggravate bonus (from EM buff we get) is already high, yet the Atk is low. 3. Especially when using high base atk weapon (like, Mr Tashman uses Mistsplitter here), those juicy 674 base atk is kinda wasted if there is not much atk% stat from the artifacts. "Well, I can use EM Sands and have some atk% from substat tho, so why?" Here's the thing. Are you sure that you have atk% substat similar to what Sands of Eon has? having 46% atk% from the substat is really hard, you really want to have a minimum of 10% atk from each pieces, so how about crit stats? Isn't it easier to use Atk% sands, and having some EM from the substat. even 100 substat is easy tho, remembering that you will have some EM buffs from MC. Well, correct me if I am wrong. Feel free to reply to share your thoughts below, I am down to some more experiments variable. For me, from what I have compared, Atk% sands is better than EM. My Keqing is using Summit Shaper (yes, high base atk, and atk% substat) and she is C4, she could get 25% free Atk% while triggering reaction, and also 40% from Summit Shaper weapon when shielded, on top of 4 piece Tenacity Zhongli. Her stat is 2317 atk, 124 EM, 60/198% crit. If anyone of you from asia server, you can see my build here 819382781 Sorry for such a long comment here haha, I just want to share my thought on Keqing. She is great right now tho.
I'm really happy for Keqing. I plan to build her for fun in the futher. But for now, my C2 Cyno absolutely claps and I gotta build my supports for him and prefarm for Nahida. Cyno is one of the most fun characters, along side with Childe.
Mine is at C4 10/10/13 Tried a lot of artifact combos I just noticed her burst dmg combo does have icd yes? Good thing is She is so flexible even with comps. For as Cyno(have him as well), you're forced to use a support that has a good uptime skill (dendro mc only for now)
man people keep forgetting childe well i can see how tho. it has been so long since we get anything that buffs him in any meaningful way, last time i enjoyed him was with raiden i think. havent played with him for quite a while now tbh. it pains me to just keep a reasonably built character doing nothing. well his passive is still the most OP passive i have seen most others are not really OP per say. his is just god tier
@@siliconhawk9293 His passive is just +1 to NA? that's not that good. yeh it benefits characters like yoimiya and wanderer but you won't use Childe with them anyways. The most OP passive has to be nahida. She can scan open world mats and put add them to your bag.
@@Nezunix i didn't mean the compatibility but any character that uses normal and ca gets a +1 hu tao and ganyu as well, team comparability is a different matter tho. but at face value it is indeed the most op passive because it can allow your to breach the level soft cap. ie 13. thats why i said its op at face value at least. nahidas is also very very good. all of those exploration mining passive are trash tho, no one needs a 25% reduced exploration time
