Keqing, The Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing from Genshin Impact is wished into Rivals of Aether!

Keqing is a swords-woman wielding an electro vision, using her blinding speed to out-maneuver opponents and get the upper hand in battle.

Just like in Genshin Impact, holding down the attack button while doing the jab combo or a tilt will make Keqing do an uncharged strong. The direction of the strong depends on the direction she holds.


Using her vision, Keqing can create a lightning stiletto and mark a location she can either teleport to, make it combust into deadly slashes and even bounce on it!
The stiletto has an initial duration of 5 seconds, but it can increase / decrease if Keqing hits opponents / is hit herself.

Using her strongs, Keqing can detonate the stiletto and send enemies up, down or towards the direction she is facing!



Neutral Special: Stellar Restoration
The main tool in Keqing's kit, working pretty much the same as in the original game.
She can either shoot out a stiletto forward by tapping the special button or aiming it around by holding down special and releasing.
Keqing can also place a stiletto in place if she taps the special button and holding against her direction.
Hitting opponents with the initial projectile will mark them with the stiletto, and allow Keqing to warp to them at will.
If an opponent is marked and she hits them, in a small time-frame Keqing can skip the teleport start-lag entirely!



Forward Special: Yunlai Leap
Keqing leaps forward with a graceful yet stylish aerial spin and slashes quickly in midair using the power of electro.
by tapping special again while she is spinning she can slash at an earlier point, and Keqing cannot use the move in the air again if she didn't get hit or did a wall jump, so use it wisely!
However, hitting a stiletto with the attack will make her bounce off it, as well as allowing her to re-cast the attack!



Up Special: Starward Sword
Keqing moves in blinding speeds in the direction the joystick is held towards, and can move up to 2 times! To keep using the move, the special button and a direction need to be held down, and she will keep moving.
If used from the ground, the first flash will not put Keqing in pratfall



Down Special: Trail of the Yuheng
This ability is based off Keqing's fellow Qixing member, Ganyu. Keqing will do a back-step and create an electro afterimage of herself that stays for 5 seconds before disappearing. If an opponent collided with the afterimage while there's a stiletto active on the stage, they will be marked and the duration of the stiletto will reset back to 5 seconds.
Keqing can have only one afterimage at a time



Final Strong: Starward Sword (End)
The full version of Starward Sword, her elemental burst from Genshin Impact, can be accessed with the Final Smash Buddy or the corresponding rune. When the burst meter is full do a neutral special input on the ground to activate it.


Windblume Lyre:
When holding down and pressing taunt, Keqing takes out the Windblume Lyre, a gadget from Genshin Impact, which allows you to play music. Hold down and press taunt again to stop playing.

How to play the lyre: (keyboard recommended)
- By pressing the jump, attack, special, shield, strong, left or right buttons, Keqing will play the lyre.
- Holding up or down, you can play on a different octwave.
