- Ascension stat: CRIT DMG
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.
What it costs to finish this character
Ascension alone: 760 resin (boss drops only) · talents alone: 590 resin.
Talent domain: Prosperity, open Monday, Thursday, Sunday.
A Crown of Insight is needed for the tenth level of each talent, and crowns are not farmable at any resin price — they come from events.
Materials and mora above are exact, straight from the game’s own tables. The resin figure and the day count divide by an average drop per run, which the game does not publish — they are a community-measured mean, not a promise.

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.
"Humans are like moths, endlessly chasing the flame we call gods and adepti. But this light that I have here is my own."

Starward Sword
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.

Weapons and artifacts
UNSURE This is not a tier list and not community guidance — this product has neither. It is a mechanical shortlist, and the rule is printed so you can check it: Swords of 4★ and above whose secondary stat is one this character’s ascension stat scales with, ordered by base attack at level 90. Weapon passives are not weighed, because a passive is an effect and not a number.

To turn this into a real recommendation section, add a build dataset — per character, the weapons and sets a community source actually recommends, with the rotation each assumes. Nothing in the game’s published data contains that judgement, and a ranking invented here would be indistinguishable from a researched one, which is why there is not one.
Teams
To build a team section, add team data. Which characters go together is judgement about rotations, energy and shielding that this product does not receive and will not guess at.
What is published is the reaction chart. Electro takes part in:
- Overloaded with Pyro
- Electro-Charged with Hydro
- Superconduct with Cryo
- Quicken with Dendro
