A free-to-play option if you have Keqing would be pairing her up with Kaeya,Geo Traveler, and Barbara. Barabara would equip the Thrilling Tales and provide healing for the team. Using the Geo Traveler's boulders as shields, Keqing can have some elemental burst while having additional protection against enemies. The boulders are not a problem for Keqing because of her Stellar Restoration. Kaeya creates an elemental reaction called Superconduct that reduces your enemies' physical resistance by 50%.

Depending on your preferred playstyle, your Team composition, weapon, and artifact set changes. Auto-attack Keqing focuses on increasing ATK and Physical damage.
