The original Hyper Charger is here and continues to be a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention, Keqing is a 5-star Espada character who uses the power of Electro to destroy his enemies. Keqing has been added to the game since launch, but don’t let its age deter you from using it. His power level remains high, especially since the introduction of Dendro gave a lot of Electro characters a boost. Learn more about Keqing in this guide here:

How to Unlock Keqing in Genshin Impact

Keqing is a 5 star character available in the standard banner. This means that every time you get a 5-star character, you have a chance of getting a Keqing. Historically, Keqing had a character event wish banner, but that was an exception to the rule and getting a Keqing is often left to chance.

- Stellar Restoration: Launches a Lightning Stiletto that obliterates opponents like lightning. When the Stiletto hits its target, it inflicts Electro DMG on opponents in a short AoE and places a Stiletto Mark where it hit.
- Plug: Hold down the key to adjust the direction in which the Stiletto will be launched. Stilettos launched by Hold attack mode can be suspended in the air, allowing Keqing to leap towards them when he uses Stellar Restoration a second time.
- Lightning Pen: If Keqing uses Stellar Restore again or uses a charged attack during the duration, it will erase the Stiletto mark and produce different effects:
- If he uses Stellar Restoration again, he will blink at Mark’s location and unleash a slash attack that inflicts AoE Electro DMG. By blinking at a Stiletto that was thrown by a Holding attack, Keqing can jump through obstructed terrain.
- If Keqing uses a charged attack, he will unleash a series of thunderclaps at the mark’s location, inflicting AoE Electro DMG.
