Keqing's Constellations in Genshin Impact

Keqing can be played without constellations. However, they make it even stronger, especially in Electro mode.

His C2 Severe Taxation offers a 50% chance to generate energy particles when a normal or charged attack hits an enemy affected by the Electro element. And his C4 Tuning increases Keqing'sATK by 25% for 10 seconds after triggering an Electro-related elemental reaction.

How to play Keqing in Genshin Impact?

There are two ways to play Keqing in Genshin Impact: Physical DPS or Electro.

For 100% Electro gameplay, start by casting Stellar Restoration. Keqing's elemental talent projects a Lightning Stiletto. By holding down the key, you can choose where to place it.

Then follow up with another character or Keqing's elemental rampage ' Celestial Walk '. Keqing delivers a series of quick, Electro-laden sword strikes. The last strike deals heavy area damage. With his Treasure of Alioth passive, Keqing's CRIT rate is increased, as is his energy recharge.

Now raise Keqing's elemental attack to teleport to his mark. Keqing's sword will be infused with Electro energy. If you proceed in this order, the talent will have already begun to recharge.

If you prefer to focus on physical damage, perform a charged attack rather than rerolling Keqing's elemental attack.

In both cases, mount Keqing's normal Cloud Fencing attack first, followed by his elemental rampage and elemental attack.
