Keqing
The Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing. Keqing has much to say about Rex Lapis's unilateral approach to policymaking in Liyue — but in truth, gods admire skeptics such as her quite a lot.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
| Type | Talent 9% | Poise Damage | Impulse Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plunge DMG | 117.46% | 25 | 2 |
| Low Plunge DMG | 234.86% | 100 | 4 |
| High Plunge DMG | 293.36% | 150 | 7 |
Notes
- MV/s are calculated using the shortest possible frames without any animation cancels, for different cancels see below.
- Keqing's N1C is her highest damage combo but is stamina hungry.
- N4C is a comparable damage combo that is less stamina intensive.
- Keqing's N4 does not give i-frame.
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."

Notes
- When blinking to a Stiletto Mark that was thrown from a Holding cast, Keqing can move across obstructions and glide or initiate a plunge attack.
- Keqing's second Stellar Restoration cast is buffered during her dash.
- Keqing can gain 2 stacks of 4-Piece Pale Flame in one cast of Stellar Restoration by dropping a Stilleto Mark on a enemy and performing a Charged Attack.
- It is possible for Keqing to perform a Dragonstrike from the second cast of her E, Stellar Restoration.
- Aiming and releasing Lightning Stiletto too fast can ignore your targeting and transform it into a Press effect instead.
- Stellar Restoration has different snapshot mechanics based on usage.
- It is possible for the Electro infusion to expire while Plunging, resulting in a Physical Plunge Attack despite showing Electro visuals on the way down.
- It is possible to send the Stiletto Mark in another direction by rapidly spinning the camera after aiming and releasing E.
- The Stiletto throw and Keqing's teleport distance have the following values (for more information, click here):
- Keqing's stiletto is thrown just under 3.5 tiles away horizontally, for both press and hold.
- Hold Skill teleports Keqing just under 3 tiles.
- Press Skill teleports Keqing about 6 tiles maximum.
Keqing unleashes the power of lightning, dealing Electro DMG in an AOE.
She then blends into the shadow of her blade, striking a series of thunderclap-blows to nearby opponents simultaneously that deal multiple instances of Electro DMG. The final attack deals massive AoE Electro DMG.
The swiftest technique in Keqing's personal arsenal is fast enough to bring stars crashing down.

Notes
- Keqing exits her Starward Sword before the last slash and can swap or attack.
- It is possible to interrupt Starward Sword before the Burst can actually go through.
- Doing so can still trigger the Burst's effects, such as her Ascension 4 Passive that gives CRIT Rate and ER.
- Burst cancelling like this does not actually use up her Energy, or put the Burst on cooldown, nor does it deal damage.
- However, it can potentially lock Keqing in place momentarily, where attempted movement can result in rapid spinning.
- Keqing's Burst has 222 idle i-frames (3.7s).

- It's possible that N1 is bugged, since the datamine suggests that it is poise extendable and has 0.03 hitlag, but gameplay shows that for N1 -> CA it is not.

Recasting Stellar Restoration while a Lightning Stiletto is present causes Keqing to deal 50% of her ATK as AoE Electro DMG at the start point and terminus of her Blink.

| Damage Type | - |

Notes
- An enemy can be hit twice by the Thundering Might AoE if Stellar Restoration is recast at point blank range. However, it can be inconsistent on smaller enemies since the AoE is small.
- C1's Damage instance has no ability type scaling tags.
- Thundering Might procs before the second part of Stellar Restoration. Example: E1 - C1 Start - C1 Terminus - E2.
- The ICD of C1 is shared with the second part of Stellar Restoration.
When Keqing's Normal and Charged Attacks hit opponents affected by Electro, they have a 50% chance of producing an Elemental Particle.
