| String         | Talent 9%      | Poise Damage | Impulse Type |

**Plunge**\
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

| Type            | Talent 9% | Poise Damage | Impulse Type |
| --------------- | --------- | ------------ | ------------ |

{% tab title="Stellar Restoration" %}
**Press**\
Hurls a **Lightning Stiletto** that annihilates her opponents like the swift thunder.\
When the **Stiletto** hits its target, it deals Electro DMG to opponents in a small AoE, and places a **Stiletto Mark** on the spot hit.

**Hold**\
Hold to adjust the direction in which the **Stiletto** shall be thrown.\
**Stilettos** thrown by the Hold attack mode can be suspended in mid-air, allowing Keqing to jump to them when using Stellar Restoration a second time.

**Lightning Stiletto (recast)**\
If Keqing uses **Stellar Restoration** again or uses a **Charged Attack** while its duration lasts, it will clear the **Stiletto Mark** and produce different effects:\
• If she uses **Stellar Restoration** again, she will blink to the location of the Mark and unleash one slashing attack that deals AoE Electro DMG. When blinking to a Stiletto that was thrown from a Holding attack, Keqing can leap across obstructing terrain.\
• If Keqing uses a **Charged Attack**, she will ignite a series of thundering cuts at the Mark's location, dealing AoE Electro DMG.

**Notes**

* When blinking to a **Stiletto Mark** that was thrown from a Holding cast, Keqing can move across obstructions and glide or initiate a plunge attack.
* Keqing's second **Stellar Restoration** cast is buffered during her dash.
* Keqing can gain 2 stacks of 4pc Pale Flame in one cast of **Stellar Restoration** by dropping a **Stilleto Mark** on a enemy and performing a charge attack.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Starward Sword" %}
Keqing unleashes the power of lightning, dealing Electro DMG in an AOE.\
She then blends into the shadow of her blade, striking a series of thunderclap-blows to nearby opponents simultaneously that deal multiple instances of Electro DMG. The final attack deals massive AoE Electro DMG.
