In Keqing’s case, it’s crucial to understand that she’s a fast hitter that doesn’t deal big numbers. Instead, she counts on multiple upon multiple of purple numbers chaotically appearing on a screen. For that, her weapon should match with her scaling and evolve her Genshin Impact combat value.

7 Kagotsurube Isshin

Primary Stats: 510 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 41. 3% ATK Effect: When a Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attack hits an opponent, it will whip up a Hewing Gale, dealing AoE DMG equal to 180% of ATK and increasing ATK by 15% for 8s. This effect can be triggered once every 8s.

Although there are no refinements for this sword, the Genshin Impact Kazuha’s weapon, Kagotsurube Isshin can still carry some DMG when used with the right characters, like Keqing. It increases her ATK while dealing some additional damage att a fixed interval.

6 The Black Sword

Primary Stats: 510 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 27. 6% CRIT Rate R5 Effect: Increases DMG dealt by Normal and Charged Attacks by 40%. Additionally, regenerates 100% of ATK as HP when Normal and Charged Attacks score a CRIT Hit. This effect can occur once every 5s.

The Black Sword is a great overall weapon for most sword users. As Keqing relies on her Normal and Charged attacks to deal damage, this equipment brings a perfect passive. Pair this with the great Genshin Impact Crit Rate substat to get an all-rounder sword for Keqing.

5 Lion’s Roar

Primary Stats: 510 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 41. 3% ATK R5 Effect: Increases DMG against enemies affected by Pyro or Electro by 36%.

Lion’s Roar is Keqing’s best 4-star weapon in Genshin Impact. Since the sword’s passive increases Keqing’s DMG on enemies affected by Electro, it’s only viable to use Lion’s Roar on Keqing when she’s in Electro-charge team compositions. It’s not recommended to match Pyro characters with Keqing since Electro and Pyro trigger the Overload reactions, which explode enemies away from Keqing’s reach and players will have to follow them around.

4 Summit Shaper

Primary Stats: 608 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 49. 6% ATK Effect: Increases Shield Strength by 20%. Scoring hits on opponents increases ATK by 4% for 8s. Max 5 stacks. Can only occur once every 0. 3s. While protected by a shield, this ATK increase effect is increased by 100%.

Just like the other weapons in this series, Summit Shaper’s effect can only be maximized when Keqing is shielded at all times. When she is, Keqing gets 40% extra ATK from Summit Shaper’s effect in addition to almost 50% ATK from the weapon substat. Summit Shaper also possesses a strong Base ATK that helps Keqing scale better with ATK%.

3 Haran Geppaku Futsu

Primary Stats: 608 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 33. 1% CRIT Rate Effect: Obtain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. When other nearby party members use Elemental Skills, the character equipping this weapon will gain 1 Wavespike stack. Max 2 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0. 3s. When the character equipping this weapon uses an Elemental Skill, all stacks of Wavespike will be consumed to gain Rippling Upheaval: each stack of Wavespike consumed will increase Normal Attack DMG by 20% for 8s.

Haran Geppaku Futsu is the best weapon for Kamisato Ayato in Genshin Impact, but it’s also viable for a main DPS Keqing. It has a great Crit Rate stat along with a universal Elemental DMG Bonus. Additionally, it further enhances Keqing’s Normal Attack DMG for a tiny condition.

2 Primordial Jade Cutter

Primary Stats: 542 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 44. 1% CRIT Rate Effect: HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 1. 2% of the wielder’s Max HP.

Ever since its release, Primordial Jade Cutter remains as a top-tier sword in Genshin Impact. The sword grants a whopping 44% CRIT Rate to make it easy to build the wielding character. In that case, Keqing will fully benefit from the CRIT Rate bonus and ATK% granted by Primordial Jade Cutter’s effect.

1 Mistsplitter Reforged

Primary Stats: 674 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 44. 1% CRIT DMG Effect: Gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for all elements and receive the might of the Mistsplitter’s Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, Mistsplitter’s Emblem provides a 8/16/28% Elemental DMG Bonus for the character’s Elemental Type. The character will obtain 1 stack of Mistsplitter’s Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals Elemental DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Burst (stack lasts 10s); Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full). Each stack’s duration is calculated independently.

Mistsplitter Reforged is one of the best swords in Genshin Impact. Even for Keqing, Mistsplitter Reforged is her best-in-slot weapon since it grants her everything she needs to inflict some heavy DMG. The only downside is that Keqing’s low energy requirement means she probably won’t benefit from the weapon’s third stack.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
