Envisaged Echoes challenges require you to have a good understanding of a character's skillset and gameplay mechanics. Surface-level knowledge of how to play the character might not always be enough.

When it comes to Keqing's Envisaged Echoes challenge, you need to know exactly when to use the character's teleport skill, when to plunge, and when to deploy her charged attack.

Keqing's challenge requires you to have a proper build for her, with a good Crit Rate to CRIT DMG ratio, and a weapon with Crit/ATK stats. You can equip a 2-piece Thundering Fury + 2-piece ATK% hybrid artifact set on her, or you can give a full 4-piece Thundering Fury set.

You will also need sufficient Energy Recharge for her so that you can keep using her Elemental Burst. Do also make sure to level up her talents to at least Level 8 (the higher, the better).

Keqing's Envisaged Echoes: How to clear the stage

Keqing's Envisaged Echoes challenge has two separate stages: Driving Thunder Phase I and Driving Thunder Phase II. You cannot advance to Phase II before clearing Phase I.

1) First phase: Driving Thunder Phase I

The first phase requires you to light up all the Electro Monuments using Keqing's Elemental Skill. Keep in mind that you cannot climb the walls here, so don't waste any time trying.

First, use Keqing's Hold Elemental Skill between the two monuments on the platform to create a Stiletto and light up both monuments at once. Tap her Elemental Skill again to teleport to the location of the Stiletto and gain an Electro infusion.

With the newly gained Electro infusion, run up the stairs to light the solitary Electro monument. Jump down to light up the remaining four monuments.

If Keqing's Electro infusion runs out midway, you can cast her Elemental Skill again to regain it and light up any monuments that are still unlit.

2) Second phase: Driving Thunder Phase II

The second phase of Keqing's challenge is combat-oriented. Read the rules carefully before starting, as they will be important during combat.

Balloons will appear in groups of three, which you can hit using Keqing's Elemental Skill to gain an Electro DMG + Elemental Mastery buff. This buff will last for 30 seconds. Additionally, Fruits of the Vine will appear, which you can use to apply Dendro to enemies.

For the first group of enemies (the two hilichurls), first hit the balloons above their heads to gain the Electro DMG buff before plunging down to attack them.

Follow this up with Charged Attacks until the enemies are defeated. Repeat the same rotation for the next two hilichurls.

For the next two enemies (the Anemo Hilichurl Rogue and the Ruin Grader), make sure to get them between Keqing and the Fruit of the Vine so that they are affected by Dendro.

Once the enemies are affected by Dendro, you can trigger reactions, such as Aggravate and Quicken, on them to increase Keqing's DMG output.

Keep using Keqing's Elemental Burst whenever it is available, and remember to keep an eye on the buff timer (to the left of the screen). If the buffs run out, hit the balloons again to regain them.

Try and use Keqing's Charged Attacks whenever you have sufficient stamina.
