Is Keqing worth building?

Keqing was once forgotten, but the Aggravate reaction with Dendro has pulled her back into a very playable Electro main DPS, especially for players who love fast, mobile combat. What she needs most is a 4pc Thundering Fury set and at least one Dendro unit like Nahida to trigger Aggravate. Her weapons are friendly: the near-free 4-star Lion's Roar is already strong, so playing without a 5-star is perfectly fine. Farm a CRIT circlet and an Electro goblet first, lock in your CRIT, then worry about EM.

Keqing's talents

Yunlai Swordsmanship
Normal Attack
Performs up to 5 rapid strikes.

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Stellar Restoration
Hurls a Lightning Stiletto that annihilates her opponents like the swift thunder.
When the Stiletto hits its target, it deals Electro DMG to opponents in a small AoE, and places a Stiletto Mark on the spot hit.

Hold
Hold to adjust the direction in which the Stiletto shall be thrown.
Stilettos thrown by the Hold attack mode can be suspended in mid-air, allowing Keqing to jump to them when using Stellar Restoration a second time.

Lightning Stiletto
If Keqing uses Stellar Restoration again or uses a Charged Attack while its duration lasts, it will clear the Stiletto Mark and produce different effects:
·If she uses Stellar Restoration again, she will blink to the location of the Mark and unleash one slashing attack that deals AoE Electro DMG. 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.

"Humans are like moths, endlessly chasing the flame we call gods and adepti. But this light that I have here is my own."
Starward Sword
Keqing unleashes the power of lightning, dealing Electro DMG in an AOE.
She then blends into the shadow of her blade, striking a series of thunderclap-blows to nearby opponents simultaneously that deal multiple instances of Electro DMG. The final attack deals massive AoE Electro DMG.

The swiftest technique in Keqing's personal arsenal is fast enough to bring stars crashing down.
Thundering Penance
After recasting Stellar Restoration while a Lightning Stiletto is present, Keqing's weapon gains an Electro Infusion for 5s.
Aristocratic Dignity
When casting Starward Sword, Keqing's CRIT Rate is increased by 15%, and her Energy Recharge is increased by 15%. This effect lasts for 8s.
Land's Overseer
When dispatched on an expedition in Liyue, time consumed is reduced by 25%.
