Summary: Is Keqing Worth Building?
Keqing is a fast Electro DPS with teleport mechanics. With the right investment, Keqing performs at a 7/10 level in current content.
When NOT to use this character
Low raw multipliers mean she depends entirely on Aggravate, and she needs EM as well as CRIT investment.
Community Controversy
Keqing was the community's favourite 'buff me please' character for years. Aggravate finally delivered, but the debate now is whether she is genuinely strong or simply no longer weak.
