Build Summary

Recommended Artifacts
Stats to Consider ATK%, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge

For Keqing's Envisaged Echoes, you want to build her with as much raw damage as possible, placing full emphasis on ATK% and CRIT stats to ensure that she can potentially one-combo the bigger enemies during Phase 2.

Weapon Recommendations

Driving Thunder Weapons
Genshin Impact - Mistsplitter Reforged Image Mistsplitter Reforged Genshin Impact - Primordial Jade Cutter Image Primordial Jade Cutter
Genshin Impact - Haran Geppaku Futsu Image Haran Geppaku Futsu Genshin Impact - Lion Lion's Roar

Most of Keqing's best weapon recommendations are made to augment her Elemental DMG in some way, with the exception of Primordial Jade Cutter serving as a stat stick to provide a significant ATK and CRIT boost to Keqing.

Artifact Recommendations

Artifact Sets

Driving Thunder Artifacts
Genshin - Thundering Fury Image Thundering Fury x2 Genshin - Gladiator Gladiator's Finale x2

Keqing's best Artifact set for her Envisaged Echoes challenge is a mixture of 2-pc. Thundering Fury and 2-pc. Gladiator's Finale, providing a boost to both her Electro DMG and ATK.

It is worth nothing that Keqing cannot reliably trigger 4-pc. Thundering Fury 100% of the time, so it is much better to invest into raw damage.

Artifact Stats

Artifact Main Stats
Genshin - HourglassSands: ATK%
Genshin - GobletGoblet: Electro DMG Bonus
Genshin - CircletCirclet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats ATK, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge

With most solo Envisaged Echoes challenges, focus on improving Keqing's CRIT Stats and ATK to get her to a place where she can one or two-combo her opponents.

Driving Thunder Strategy

Light the Electro Monuments

Genshin - Pillar Placement

Your objective here is to light 7 Electro monuments that are scattered into groups of four at the center, two at the side, and one far back.

Aim the Lightning Stilleto Into the Center of the 4 Pillars

When starting, aim your Elemental Skill into the center of the 4 pillars and step up the stone ledge using the debris next to the wall.

Wait until the last second, then detonate with a Charged Attack to get 3 - 4 of the Pillars in the center.

Aim the Last Stilleto at the 2-Pillar Pairs

After Charged Attacking, you should have a 2 second cooldown on your Elemental Skill. Aim it at the 2 pillars, then take the teleport to infuse your weapon with Electro.

When that happens, you should have enough time to run over to the last pillar at the top of the stairs to strike it, and one extra pillar back at the center if your first Stilleto missed one.

Defeat Enemies Within Time Limit

Genshin - Electro Hilichurl Shooter ImageElectro Hilichurl Shooter x4 Genshin - Anemo Hilichurl Rogue ImageAnemo Hilichurl Rogue x1
Genshin - Ruin Grader ImageRuin Grader x1

You will be given 80 seconds to defeat 6 opponents, featuring 4 Electro Hilichurl Shooters, one Anemo Hilichurl Rogue, and one Ruin Grader.

Periodically, a Fruit of the Vine will spawn and inflict Dendro onto targets, giving Keqing the chance to trigger Quicken against them to make the fight easier. This is not required though, so focus on your own raw damage.

Break 3 of the Fruits to Buff your Damage

Genshin - Three Targets

Above the enemies, there will be targets in groups of three floating in the air. Upon breaking these, Keqing will gain bonus Electro DMG Bonus and Elemental Mastery.

The buff lasts 30 seconds, and doing this at the start of the fight will give Keqing enough damage to kill all the Hilichurl Shooters and severely wound or kill the Hilichurl Rogue before needing to buff herself up again.

Combat Rotation

Keqing Solo Rotation
Elemental Skill (1st) → Elemental Burst → Elemental Skill (Teleport) → Charged Attack(4x) → Elemental Skill (1st and 2nd Part) → Charged Attack(2x)

This is Keqing's normal Solo rotation, allowing her to dish out all of her kit's damage in the shortest time.

After using her 2 Charged Attacks at the end, she may not have her Elemental Burst back on time. If this is the case, simply Alternate between using her Elemental Skill Infusion and Charged Attacking until it returns.
