Introduction
This is my follow up tutorial of my guide My secret weapon to clear the abyss which is a special Keqing Aggravate variation. Today I will cover what the team looks like, which artifact set is best, rotation and weapons. Let's dive in and start with the team!
Keqing acts as the main dps of the team, dealing a lot of extra damage by using the aggravate reaction.
Kirara enables the quicken reaction so Keqing can trigger aggravate. With Kirara C4 you have a very good uptime on quicken, while her C6 gives your team an ATK% boost. Most importantly, she makes this team more comfortable with her shield
Fishl serves as the Sub-Dps of the team. With the constant Quicken reaction and Fishl's ascension 4 passive, she deals a lot of extra damage via Oz. Don't underestimate her, with the right investment, she deals similar damage to Keqing while being off-field.
Lynette is the holder of the Viridescent Venerer artifact set, which reduces the enemies reaction of the swirled element by 40%. She also grants an ATK% buff for her teammates after using her burst. Additionaly, her ult has decent taunt, which helps with grouping but also staying safe.
Weapons for each character
Keqing can use a variety if weapons, other weapons like Absolution, Clorinde's signature weapon, can serve as a good statstick.
Artifact set for each character
These are the best 4pc artifacts. You can also mix any sort of combination of 2pc ATK%/EM/Electro damage bonus
Artifact substats
Keqing:
Mainstats:: Sands: EM/ATK% Goblet: Electro DMG% > ATK%/EM Circlet: Crit Rate/Crit Damage
Substats: Crit Damage/Crit Rate > ATK% = EM > flat ATK > ER%
Kirara:
Mainstats:: Sands: HP% Goblet: HP% > Dendro DMG% Circlet: HP% > Crit Rate (if Favonius Sword)
Substats: HP% > ER% > Crit Rate > ATK% = EM = Crit Damage
Fishl:
Mainstats:: Sands: EM/ATK% Goblet: Electro DMG% > ATK%/EM Circlet: Crit Rate/Crit Damage
Substats: Crit Damage/Crit Rate > ATK% = EM > flat ATK > ER%
Lynette
Mainstats:: Sands: ER% > EM/ATK% Goblet: Anemo DMG% = ATK% = EM Circlet: Crit Rate/Crit Damage
Substats: ER% > Crit Damage = Crit Rate > ATK% > ER%
Rotation
Using this team, what is the optimal rotation? Assuming we fight against a boss or an enemy who doesnt die during the rotation, this is how it should look like:
Reminder: N = Normal attack, CA = Charged Attack Start with Fishl, Fishl Burst > Kirara Skill (2 times if you have sacrificial sword), Burst > Lynette Skill, Burst, NA > Keqing Skill, Burst, Skill, 3x (NA, CA), Skill whenever possible > Fishl Skill, NA> Kirara Skill > Lynette Skill > Keqing Skill, Burst, Skill, 3x (NA, CA), Skill whenever possible
Repeat this rotation until the enemy is dead
