For a Free to Play character, Kaeya is surprisingly useful. His Elemental Burst is long-lasting and persists when he’s not on the field, and Frostgnaw (his Elemental Skill) is eminently spammable and applies Cryo in a decent, if limited, AoE as well.<\/p>\n

That makes him a worthy candidate for consideration in your active roster as a genuinely good enabler. Here’s how to get the most of Kaeya.<\/p>\n

Genshin Impact Kaeya guide<\/h2>\n

Weapons<\/h3>\n

While you can run most damage swords on Kaeya, his kit isn’t set up that well for a DPS focus. Instead, you’re better off looking for a more supportive option. <\/p>\n

The top of that list includes these beauties:<\/p>\n

Sacrificial Sword<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Kaeya<\/strong>(Picture: miHoYo)<\/span><\/p>\n

Like all the other editions of the Sacrificial archetype, the Sacrificial Sword offers great Energy Recharge (perfect for spamming Kaeya’s Elemental Burst) and also has the Composed ability, adding a 40% chance to immediately end an Elemental Skill’s cooldown after using that skill to damage an opponent. Frostgnaw is already extremely spammable, this just helps.<\/p>\n

A sword for more Cryo, more of the time.<\/p>\n

Cool Steel<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"best<\/strong>(Picture: miHoYo)<\/span><\/p>\n

Cool Steel offers decent raw Attack stats (nothing to sniff at), but more importantly amps damage against enemies affected by Hydro and Cryo by 12%, which is all too easy for Kaeya to accomplish. Even more enticing is the fact it’s a 3* Weapon, making it very easy to farm and refine that ability up to a 24% amp at Rank 5.<\/p>\n

Fillet Blade<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"kaeya<\/strong>(Picture: miHoYo)<\/span><\/p>\n

Another 3* choice, but this one is about eeking out a little more burst damage from Kaeya before you switch him out. With a 50% chance to activate, it isn’t hard to get the Gash ability to proc, adding an additional 240% damage to a single target once every 15s.<\/p>\n

Throw out Frostgnaw, attack 1-3 times to proc the ability, activate his Elemental Burst and this weapon will definitely feel a lot more dangerous than its 3* rating would suggest.<\/p>\n

If you do want to run Kaeya as a DPS option, The Flute, Aquila Favonia<\/strong> and Black Sword<\/strong> are all worthy options.<\/p>\n

Artifacts<\/h3>\n

\"Kaeya(Picture: miHoYo)<\/span><\/p>\n

Much like with his weapons, Kaeya is often best served by relatively easily obtained artifact sets. Community consensus recommends the likes of 2-piece The Exile<\/strong> with 2-piece Scholar<\/strong> for a full 40% Energy Recharge, ensuring Glacial Waltz will be available as often as you can.<\/p>\n

Full sets of Instructor<\/strong> or The Exile<\/strong> are definitely in a similar veinhttps:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/genshin-impact\/genshin-impact-xiangling-guide-weapons-artifacts-and-more<\/a> but drop some Energy Recharge to add further effects for the party or Elemental Mastery to facilitate harder-hitting Elemental Reactions.<\/p>\n

Noblesse Oblige<\/strong> is also a strong choice, especially on a build that’s all-in on his Elemental Burst damage rather than purely how easily available it is.<\/p>\n
