Why does Keqing do Gua Sha in "Genshin"? Character Strength and Player Controversy Analysis
Recently, the issue of the strength of the character "Ke Qing" in "Genshin Impact" has once again become the focus of heated discussion among players. In particular, the joking term "Ke Qing Gua Sha" frequently appears in community discussions. This article will analyze the current controversial situation of Keqing from the perspectives of character mechanism, version environment, player feedback, etc., combined with hot topic data from the entire network in the past 10 days.
1. Network-wide popularity data statistics (last 10 days)

| Platform | Number of related topics | Hot search highest ranking | keyword frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,200+ | No. 18 | #克清Guasha# (average 200+ times per day) | |
| Station B | 80+ videos | Game area TOP30 | "Keqing Damage" (total views 1.5 million+) |
| NGA Forum | 50+ topic posts | Genshin Impact section homepage | "Ke Qing Team" (discussed 3,000+ times) |
2. The core reasons for the controversy over the intensity of Keqing
1.Basic numerical problems: The attack multiplier of Keqing's thunder element enchantment is lower than that of the main C characters (such as Hutao and Ganyu) in the same period, and the benefit of the thunder element reaction coefficient (superconducting/electrical induction) is limited.
| role | Total basic attack multiplier (level 10) | Total elemental burst damage |
|---|---|---|
| Qingqing | 558.7% | 804% (13 paragraphs) |
| walnut | 714.6% | 617% (high burst in a single segment) |
2.Version environment impact: After version 4.0, the number of enemies with high HP increased, and Keqing’s continuous output mode was difficult to deal with, while Fontaine’s new character Navilet and other group damage abilities significantly suppressed the old characters.
3.Imbalance of horoscope income: The key mechanism of Keqing (such as heavy hits reducing physical consumption) needs to unlock the life base, but the improvement is still not as good as the zero life effect of new characters.
3. Players’ opinions are polarized
| Supporters' point of view | Opposition point of view |
|---|---|
| • Smooth feel and good operating experience • Top-notch exterior design • True Love Party ignores intensity | • DPS lags behind by 30%+ at the same level of training • Abyss usage rate is below 15% for a long period of time • The elemental reaction system suffers |
4. Actual performance comparison data
| scene | Keqing team DPS | T0 main C team DPS |
|---|---|---|
| Single BOSS (12-3) | 28,000/second | 42,000/second (Hu Yezhong) |
| Monster environment | 16,000/second | 35,000/second (Navilet) |
5. Discussion of solutions
1.Teaming optimization: Keqing + Grass God (Intensification Team) can increase the damage by 40%, but a strict operation cycle is required.
2.Exclusive holy relic: Some players suggested designing a "Thunder Damage Heavy Strike Specialization" set, similar to Mandrill's Cinnabar Rebirth Record.
3.Mechanism adjustment: I hope to increase the monster gathering effect of elemental combat skills or the ability to resist interruption during bursts.
Conclusion: The nature of Keqing's controversy is the epitome of the problem of numerical expansion and character preservation in "Genshin Impact". Despite its strength shortcomings, its unique combat aesthetic still attracts a large number of loyal players. Whether there will be more targeted measures in the future remains to be seen from official trends.
