This Physical/Electro DMG team comp can be used on enemies who can't be frozen. Fischl can offset Beidou's high Elemental Burst cost thanks to Oz. Fischl or Beidou can either be replaced with shielders like Zhongli or any healer.
Keqing is one of the fastest sword users in the game.
Her quick Normal Attack deals a high of damage, along with quick movement that allows her to avoid enemy attacks. This makes her a strong Main DPS character that can hold her own in most fights.
Her Charged Attack is also very strong, and can be used in quick succession. This is very effective for boss battles and other large enemies, as you can deplete their HP very fast.
Keqing's Elemental Skill, Stellar Restoration, enables her to reposition herself quickly in combat, while dealing high damage to enemies.
You can hold and aim this skill, giving you more control on where to position yourself when fighting. Blinking to the location of the marker allows her to deal a devastating slash attack, and lets her Normal Attack deal Electro DMG
You can also use the Lightning Stilleto as a ranged attack that deals AoE Electro DMG when hit by your Charged Attack.
Stellar Restoration is also an effective tool for exploration. This allows her to climb small cliffs painlessly, go over obstacles, and even reach areas that would be otherwise much more difficult to access.
Her Elemental Burst, Starward Sword, unleashes a quick and devastating series of Electro slashes in an AoE, with the final strike dealing AoE Electro DMG.
This makes her very effective against enemy mobs, especially in Domains like the Spiral Abyss. This is also very useful during boss fights, helping you deal high damage without getting damaged.
Land's Overseer allows Keqing to complete Expeditions in a shorter amount of time. This comes in handy when mining for ores or gathering resources.

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.
