Overview
Keqing uses brief Electro-infused attack windows between teammate actions. Her flexible swaps suit quick rotations, while Charged-Attack Stamina costs and knockback can limit practical damage time.
Role
Electro-infused quick field damage
Playstyle
Use short infused attack windows between teammate actions rather than requiring one long locked rotation.
Why It Works
Recasting the Skill enables infusion; using a Charged Attack on the mark instead produces a different follow-up.
Watch For
Charged attacks consume Stamina; movement and target knockback can reduce practical attack time.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Support auras → Skill mark → Burst → Skill recast → Normal/Charged attacks → extra Skill detonation if Thundering Fury allows → refresh.
Key Notes
Starward Sword temporarily raises CRIT Rate and ER, which affect the following window.
The first Skill recast grants infusion; a Charged detonation does not.
Thundering Fury rotations use the extra Skill for damage, not longer infusion.
Choose EM mainly for Dendro reactions; Lunar teams still favor ATK.

Elemental Skill
Stellar Restoration
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.
