Genshin Impact Why is Keqing becoming more and more disgraced by gamers despite being "national waifu"?

From the very first days that Genshin Impact was released, Keqing can be considered the strongest DPS character of the game because of his ability to deal great damage as well as his extremely beautiful appearance. Compared to the ability to deal pure damage, Keqing only lost to Diluc at that time, so many gamers always wanted to own this girl right from the beginning of the game.

Genshin Impact Why is Keqing becoming more and more disgraced by gamers despite being “national waifu”?

But when Genshin Impact went through a year of development with a series of new content added, Keqing gradually disappeared from the game and not many gamers used it anymore. Not to mention, the rate of using this character in La Hoan Tham Canh is also lower and lower, up to the time of version 2.3 of Genshin Impact.

The first reason that can be mentioned is that the number of characters appearing in Genshin Impact after 1 year of launch is much larger than when this game was first released. When a series of beautiful characters appeared, Keqing’s position as “national waifu” was quickly replaced by other faces, most notably Ayaka, Thunder God, Yoimiya or beyond, Ganyu. , Eula…

Next is the problem of the strength of this 5-star character, when there is no way to build the holy relic for Keqing in the most optimal way. Not to mention Keqing is also a Lightning-type character, a system that is said to be the weakest currently because the current anti-Light element is too weak. Also, if it’s built in the direction of physical damage, it’s also not good when Keqing is not really suitable for the Gray White Fire relic, as well as her heavy attack consumes too much stamina to be used continuously.

Keqing’s destiny set is also something that makes her unable to increase her strength too much compared to the zodiac 0, the reason is that it encourages gamers to build Keqing in the direction of elemental reactions, but as mentioned, the Lightning elemental effects are really bad right now, so this playstyle doesn’t seem to bring out the best.

Although Genshin Impact is a medium difficulty game and of course Keqing can still be used to overcome the Roar of the Deep and most of the content available in Genshin Impact. But as the player’s requirements for the amount of damage output of a character get higher and higher, Keqing’s position becomes lower than ever.

After all, Keqing’s problems are many, from his own strength, the elemental reaction of the Lightning system to not having a suitable set of holy relics. Perhaps miHoYo side needs to make a move to bring Keqing back to the game’s meta, or at least improve the strength of this character in the future.
