Keyi's Characteristics: What Increases When Ascended
The main characteristic of Keii growing with elevation is energy recovery. In addition to this stat, he also has an increase in HP, attack power и of protection. More accurate values can be found in the table below.
| Level of | Base HP | Basic Attack | Basic protection | Energy recovery% |

Keii's abilities
Keia attacks physical. damage through normal attacks, and also uses his abilities to deal Cryo damage. Unlike the elemental skill, which releases a whirlwind of ice at a target in front of it once, the effect of the elemental explosion is present on the battlefield for a while, in the form of several ice floes rotating around the active character. This greatly increases Keii's usefulness and allows him to participate in triggering reactions while being an inactive ally.
Next, we will analyze in more detail all the skills of Keii and tell you in what order they need to be pumped.
Basic skills (active skills)
- Ritual swordsmanship (normal, charged, falling attack)
Performs up to five sword strikes.
With a charged attack, Keia performs two hits and spends a certain amount of stamina.
In a falling attack, it rapidly falls to the ground and hits the area after landing.
- Cold Lunge (Elemental Skill)
Cooldown: 6 sec.
Lunge with a sword, dealing Cryo damage to enemies in front of him.
- Glacial Waltz (explosion of the elements)
Cooldown: 15 sec.
Duration: 8 sec.
Energy consumption: 60.
Creates three icicles that orbit Keia and deal Cryo damage to enemies on contact. When switching to another character, the ult continues to act. It is important to consider that only every 3 hit of the ult can react, for example, close the Melt reaction by attacking on the Pyro status from enemies. Therefore, Keia is not suitable for the role of a full-fledged reactor.
The order of pumping
In the detachment, Keia can play two roles - sub-dd or main-dd. Depending on the position of the character, the order of pumping his talents also changes.
- If Keia acts as a sub-DD, then he deals the main damage from the explosion of the elements, so the ult needs to be pumped first. Then increase the elemental skill. Normal attacks in this case are not needed. The flow order looks like this: Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attacks (if necessary).
- In the event that Keia is the main damage dealer, there is a need for regular attacks, they need to be pumped up to the maximum level. After that, raise your ult and elem evenly. skill up to level 6, after which focus on the E-shku. Thus, the order of pumping is as follows: normal attacks > elemental skill > elemental explosion.
Passive skills
| Talent | When does it open | What gives |
|---|---|---|
| Flash of genius | Hidden powers | Reduces stamina consumption while sprinting by 20%. |
| Blade of Cold Blood | 2nd Ascension Phase | Each hit with Cold Lunge heals Keiya for 15% of her attack power. |
| glacial heart | 4nd Ascension Phase | Enemies frozen by Cold Lunge drop more elemental particles. Each skill hit generates up to 2 elemental particles. |
Constellations
The best constellations of Keii are C2 and C6.
- Second constellation allows you to keep an elemental explosion active almost indefinitely when fighting a large number of small enemies. This not only increases the overall damage of the ult, but also gives you the ability to recover more energy.
- sixth constellation gives an additional icicle to the ult (now there are four of them), and also restores some of the energy when activating an explosion of elements, which will allow artifacts to give preference to damage stats.
Also pay attention to С1, however, it is only useful to Keia in the role of main-dd. Since in battle the enemies are almost constantly cryo status, this constant will give a constant increase in crit. hero chance.
| number | Name | <font><font>Materials</font></font> |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Superior Blood | Increases crit chance. hit by normal and charged attacks by 15% if the enemies have the Cryo status. |
| 2 | Endless Waltz | For each enemy killed, increases the duration of the ult by 2,5 seconds. Maximum - 15 seconds. |
| 3 | Cold dance | Increases elemental skill level by 3. |
| 4 | cold kiss | When Keii's health drops below 20%, he creates a shield for 20 seconds that absorbs damage equal to 30% of his maximum health. Cryo damage is absorbed 250% more effectively. May occur once every 1 minute. |
| 5 | Embrace the cold | Increases elemental explosion level by 3. |
| 6 | Glacial vortex | Restores 15 health. energy when activating an elemental explosion and adds an additional icicle to the ultimate. |
Advantages and disadvantages of Kayi
Keia is a Cryo elemental hero who works in a variety of roles and is useful to many teams. Being a standard character, he does not have complex mechanics, but he also has his pros and cons.
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
| A fairly versatile character that is available from the very beginning of the game. Can take almost any role in the squad and has simple skills that do not require complex rotations. | If you collect Keiya in the main damage dealer, you will have to pick up artifacts and weapons for a long time so that he can compete with other Cryo characters. |
| The short cooldown of the E-shki, because of which it works well as a battery for Cryo characters with an expensive ult. | Most of the benefits of Kayi are revealed in the constellations. |
| Elemental Burst lasts for a long time, and does not disappear when switching allies. | It is quite difficult to dial constellations. You need to either rely on luck or spend Star Glitter to purchase from the Paimon Store. |

 Diluc | Pyro | Two-handed sword | Keia's Cryo will help create the Melt reaction, which will boost Diluc's damage output. It is not worth adding a Hydro character to the squad, since Dilyuk will not be able to carry out reactions on the statues, but will only break them. |

 Zhongli |  Geo | A spear | Will cut off enemies' resistances to all types of damage and protect the team with a dense shield. |
 Yun Jin | Geo | A spear | Increases damage from normal attacks. A good partner for any build of Keii, except for the elemental burst build. |

How to play Kaya
Depending on what role Keia performs in the squad, the style of play for this character also changes. Use the elemental skill all the time, as E-shka deals good damage, gives Cryo status and restores a lot of energy. Also, try to activate Keii's ult on cooldown to increase outgoing damage and successfully trigger reactions. Also, be mindful of the passive and freeze opponents with an elemental skill to gain more energy.
Rotation
Keii's rotation is quite simple in any build:
- Use the skills of all supports. Provide the team with protection and all the necessary buffs.
- Then switch to Keiya, use his ability and activate the elemental blast.
- Switch to the main damage dealer and deal damage. If Keia is a mein-dd himself, just keep attacking with him from your hand.
- Repeat from the first point.
