@@FloatingDonut Yep and since he can teleport behind small ennemies, there a high chance you won't be hit at all when he reappeared. Also he doesn't need to hit the ennemy to teleport behind it.
i mean yeah since he is one of the starter 4 stars he gets overlooked, but he’s *heavily* underrated and remember he’s canonically as strong as diluc, lore-wise
He's not really underrated though. He's actually quite bad at first (Chongyun better at DPS, Qiqi better support). The gamechanger was introduction of Patch 1.2 Cryo artifact that pushed Kaeya top tier Cryo character (and also addition of multiple Cryo characters like Diona, Rosalia,Eula to work/resonate with him). He is now really good in both DPS and sub DPS.

I'm holding onto my faith that Kaeya was made like this on purpose so that when he gets reworked after Khaenri'ah's release nobody will have seen it coming. From basic 4* to Abyss Prince 5* Kaeya? (delusional)
@@shinsu3594 well,we’re not really talking about fanbases here,we were talking about gameplay and overall how many people tend to use him.Some people write him off as just a starter character but he’s much more than that
god I got so excited the first time he said it because I was like yes! He finally learned how to say his name! and then was slapped in the face the next time (I say this with love)
For me Kaeya has been the benchmark for what makes a good character in Genshin. If a character can be better than Kaeya at least 50% of the time, then they're good. Otherwise they're just weighing the team down.
@@mortem4573 Unsurprisingly Bennett, Venti, Xingqiu, and Zhongli are at the top. The characters below Kaeya would be: Amber, Lisa, Noelle, and pre-buffed Zhongli. One could also argue that Chongyun would be below Kaeya, but I think he has his own niche as an excellent shield breaker and with his transferable cryo infusion.

It was my first time doing the rank ascension quest coz I was crying that I can't even defeat the electro hypostasis even though my friend taught me how to. When I finally did it, Kaeya is the only character standing. On my second rank ascension, it's also him that is left. I didn't even built him well. I really love Kaeya, he's so dependable. So he never left my party
I started playing genshin about 2 months ago and now, at almost AR 50, I still main Kaeya and the Traveler. My friend that introduced me to Genshin told me not to use Kaeya that much because he's weak and I wanted to prove her wrong. Glad I did, he's such a good character, especially supported by Xingqiu. (also I have C1 Kaeya and, as a f2p, I think that's pretty good since the standards are rare)
Although I dont use Kaeya anymore bec I already have his namecard.. he’s the most surprising 4* I tried because I didnt realize how good he is and not many people are talking about him. Built him physical dps with Aquila and he’s a beast. Cryo Kaeya also greatly helps in current abyss even the previous ones. Will definitely buy his constellation in the starglitter shop 😊
Thank you so much for talking about Kaeya! He's my favourite character and I love seeing him being appreciated. I wish he got a buff, even tho he's great already
the only people calling him underrated are people who watch these types of videos specifically, and they don’t make up the majority of the genshin community. most people never level kaeya or bench him once they’re mid to late game thinking he is not viable at later stages. of course, everyone has their preferences so I don’t see a problem with that but most people overlook his good features just because he’s a starter character

@@b3470 I never said you need his cons, just that it's a logical explanation for why he is unpopular. And again, I continually fail to find people who legitimately think he is a bad character. I still think he is not underrated, he has a very noticeable fanbase.
Thank you so much for the guide I've been waiting for this one!! I've been a kaeya main since I started playing last year and I've been confused for the longest time whether I should build him cryo or physical, I'm glad you also think Blizzard is the best set on him (I'm using it too but many other streamers say 2p glad 2p chivalry is the better option so I was always unsure). Your talent prio was super interesting, I crowned his E first because I always thought it's the most important one since it is so so strong but I will definetly focus on his Q now. Now I just need more Kaeya cons. The boy is rarer than a 5* for real :D Thank you so much!
I want to point out that c2 barbara works really well if you don't have xingqiu for a freeze comp. Her skill has a high up time (at c2 and lvl 60/70) and will apply hydro just as well as the surrounding swords from xingqiu. This is what I do since my xingqiu is paired with my yanfei.
One thing not mentioned if I'm remembering correctly is that out of all the 4*s right now I believe Kaeya has one of the highest ratios for his auto attacks making him much more viable to run as your dps. Of course correct me if I'm wrong. One thing I don't personally like about Kaeya is that his auto attack animations feel kinda sluggish to me, but I suppose that's just because I'm so used to using fast polearm users at this point. If you're in need of constant cryo though, Kaeya is the man, and paired with Rosaria if you have her too electro fatui are an easy win.
I really love Kaeya😍 Both because he's ✨handsome ✨ and because he's one of my only few dps characters since most of the characters I get from wishing are mainly supports😢🤦
Thanks for making a video like this, my higher rank friends keep mocking me for building Kaeya (yes, they are meta slaves of Ganyu and Ayaka). It really makes me so sad.
He's my husbando too since release, I benched him cause I didn't have the artifacts at that moment but thanks to dragonspine's domain, he came back as my main dps on my main team: Kaeya Fischl Barbara Diluc
I'm in the same situation as you (I have Aquila and black sword and have carry kaeya). I use Aquila because I can get enough crit without BS and the Atk is really nice even though you lose the substats. High refinement BS might be better, but you'd have to punch it into a calculator.
Aquila is better, the great passive and base attack makes it still a decent weapon on elemental builds. For keqing for example Aquila is still 3rd BiS and better than any 4 star weapon for electro.
i've seen a post that explains hybrid kaeya build on discord! so basically you can maintain your cryo artifacts set (blizzard strayer), however you can change the goblet from cryo damage bonus to physical damage one. for weapon substat, you can choose the one with phys damage bonus too (af or rancour). i'm not sure about damage comparison, but i think it's worth to try! especially with high crit rate bonus from blizzard strayer :D
@@croissant3274 Yes, that's quite true. The Blizzard Strayer along with Cryo Resonance already give enough Crit. I have a couple constellations too so I get the extra crit from his C1! At present, I don't have a high refinement BS as I want to have at least one copy of all Battle Pass weapons before I start refining. :)
@@chopinfanclub6672 Yes, Aquila is an amazing weapon in general. It's a 5* weapon, after all, and the 200% damage passive is op. 3rd BiS even for Electro Keqing? I didn't know that, though I don't have Keqing so I'm not overly familiar with her. Thanks for the tip! :D
Kaeya can be a 1 man team by himself he is so good. He can heal himself, you get a shield at C4, his basic attack multipliers are the highest for a sword user. I've spent hundreds on this game but Kaeya will remain as my main dps (I hope I get his consts soon)
Finally I'm getting his C2 :D Farming artifacts is hell for me, specially the cryo domain is so... awful, because I'm more of a casual player, my characters aren't that strong, the ice giant hilichurl is super annoying 😩 but... anything for my beloved Kaeya.
Thank you for the video! I've been looking forward to it since you made the poll on your community tab. Kaeya has been in my team since the beginning :)
I'm a ftp kaeya main and just yesterday I got refinement 4 The Flute. I also have 4 piece blizzard strayer with 32% crit rate(with blizzard strayer that's 72%), 202% crit damage, 152% energy recharge, about 1800 attack, and 61% cryo damage bonus. He's my biggest damage dealer and I used this guide, thanks!
Kaeya main here 🙋 the video was super helpful, definitely have done a lot of the stuff you suggested! I have only a couple things to add for anyone looking to max out their DPS Kaeya (from an obsessed C6 Kaeya simp): -if you want an all-around DPS, it's worth having 2 pieces blizzard strayer and 2 gladiator's. Look for a good balance between crit rate and crit dmg. Best artifacts I got from him where from Stormterror domain -when farming for artifacts, use condensed resin if you have it. You get more artifacts with every round = higher chances of getting some with good stats -elemental mastery and reactions are your best friends 😊 -save your masterless starglitter for constellations, Kaeya comes up around twice a year. If you're seeing Lisa or Amber up there, there's a 99% chance Kaeya will be up the following month. Hope this helps :)
Its pronounced "Kah-e-ya". In most languages, except Korean for some reason I don't know. A few months ago I didn't cared much about him, but it turned out that he was an essential unit for me to get 36* as a F2P. Very valuable SubDPS unit, I definitely recommend investing in him. Nice guide as always.
no matter how many 5 star charas i get lucky enough to pull i always end up sliding back to a 4 star kaeya dps freeze comp because its just so satisfying to play. when the free, starter team 4 star is my husband of choice ive never been tempted to spend a cent.... kaeya guardian of my wallet
Dude! I don't know HOW, but I literally opened RUclips to search for a Kaeya build (for my team with Eula) AND YOU JUST UPLOADED THIS!!!! Thank you T-T
As a person who isn’t a gamer but plays genshin, I feel like I’ll never be able to use my characters to the best. Gaaaahhhhhh I feel like I need someone to hold my hand as I go through this game.
wooo kaeya deserves love !! i crowned his first talent recently and planning to triple crown in the future....just been busy with deadlines and no time to farm for mora/books yet...
"since I pulled for all the new characters I got quite a lot so I'm lucky" Did you know Kaeya doesn't exist on the limited banners ? xD he literally cannot be pulled from them
he can be pulled but its too damn rare. getting him even on the standard banner is nearly impossible in general,the starter characters have a lot of rarity
"You don't need a healer in this team." Yeah, because Kaeya heals himself. "Because you keep freezing enemies." But what about his hea- *moves to Team comps* ZY0X, HIS HEALIN-

One thing not mentioned if I'm remembering correctly is that out of all the 4*s right now I believe Kaeya has one of the highest ratios for his auto attacks making him much more viable to run as your dps. Of course correct me if I'm wrong. One thing I don't personally like about Kaeya is that his auto attack animations feel kinda sluggish to me, but I suppose that's just because I'm so used to using fast polearm users at this point. If you're in need of constant cryo though, Kaeya is the man, and paired with Rosaria if you have her too electro fatui are an easy win.
He has the highest normal attack multiplier out of ALL sword users. He basically hits as hard as claymores.
I really love Kaeya😍 Both because he's ✨handsome ✨ and because he's one of my only few dps characters since most of the characters I get from wishing are mainly supports😢🤦
Zy0x posts a Kaeya after one day after I start building Bennett and Kaeya, I think he knows my upgrade schedule guys.
My guy making these guys at 4am EST (which I think is also his time zone). Respect.
He uploaded at 4am.
Thanks for making a video like this, my higher rank friends keep mocking me for building Kaeya (yes, they are meta slaves of Ganyu and Ayaka). It really makes me so sad.
I'm hearing the loud noises of Kaeya mains....
Yesss my husbando and favorite character!! I’ve been a Kaeya main since I started playing
He's my husbando too since release, I benched him cause I didn't have the artifacts at that moment but thanks to dragonspine's domain, he came back as my main dps on my main team:
Kaeya
Fischl
Barbara
Diluc
@@Cata-qp6fi nice!
My boy getting more love from the one content creator whose builds I actually trust
I'm in the same situation as you (I have Aquila and black sword and have carry kaeya). I use Aquila because I can get enough crit without BS and the Atk is really nice even though you lose the substats. High refinement BS might be better, but you'd have to punch it into a calculator.
Aquila is better, the great passive and base attack makes it still a decent weapon on elemental builds. For keqing for example Aquila is still 3rd BiS and better than any 4 star weapon for electro.
i've seen a post that explains hybrid kaeya build on discord! so basically you can maintain your cryo artifacts set (blizzard strayer), however you can change the goblet from cryo damage bonus to physical damage one. for weapon substat, you can choose the one with phys damage bonus too (af or rancour). i'm not sure about damage comparison, but i think it's worth to try! especially with high crit rate bonus from blizzard strayer :D
@@croissant3274 Yes, that's quite true. The Blizzard Strayer along with Cryo Resonance already give enough Crit. I have a couple constellations too so I get the extra crit from his C1! At present, I don't have a high refinement BS as I want to have at least one copy of all Battle Pass weapons before I start refining. :)
@@chopinfanclub6672 Yes, Aquila is an amazing weapon in general. It's a 5* weapon, after all, and the 200% damage passive is op. 3rd BiS even for Electro Keqing? I didn't know that, though I don't have Keqing so I'm not overly familiar with her. Thanks for the tip! :D
Kaeya can be a 1 man team by himself he is so good. He can heal himself, you get a shield at C4, his basic attack multipliers are the highest for a sword user. I've spent hundreds on this game but Kaeya will remain as my main dps (I hope I get his consts soon)
Finally I'm getting his C2 :D
Farming artifacts is hell for me, specially the cryo domain is so... awful, because I'm more of a casual player, my characters aren't that strong, the ice giant hilichurl is super annoying 😩 but... anything for my beloved Kaeya.
Thank you for the video! I've been looking forward to it since you made the poll on your community tab. Kaeya has been in my team since the beginning :)
Currently appreciating the starters, even Amber, but especially Kaeya! Gonna build Lisa soon. Now I actually want to get dupes of the three hahaha
I'm a ftp kaeya main and just yesterday I got refinement 4 The Flute. I also have 4 piece blizzard strayer with 32% crit rate(with blizzard strayer that's 72%), 202% crit damage, 152% energy recharge, about 1800 attack, and 61% cryo damage bonus. He's my biggest damage dealer and I used this guide, thanks!

"Chongyun is the one I use."
The Level 30 is saying something else.
Kaeya carried me thru the old Floor 11.
not me :C
Me too, he is god tier
Kaeya main here 🙋 the video was super helpful, definitely have done a lot of the stuff you suggested! I have only a couple things to add for anyone looking to max out their DPS Kaeya (from an obsessed C6 Kaeya simp):
-if you want an all-around DPS, it's worth having 2 pieces blizzard strayer and 2 gladiator's. Look for a good balance between crit rate and crit dmg. Best artifacts I got from him where from Stormterror domain
-when farming for artifacts, use condensed resin if you have it. You get more artifacts with every round = higher chances of getting some with good stats
-elemental mastery and reactions are your best friends 😊
-save your masterless starglitter for constellations, Kaeya comes up around twice a year. If you're seeing Lisa or Amber up there, there's a 99% chance Kaeya will be up the following month.
Hope this helps :)
Its pronounced "Kah-e-ya". In most languages, except Korean for some reason I don't know.
A few months ago I didn't cared much about him, but it turned out that he was an essential unit for me to get 36* as a F2P. Very valuable SubDPS unit, I definitely recommend investing in him. Nice guide as always.
In game if you change the Audio to Chinese, and check his voice lines its actually Kai-ya.
Try jp... G A I A
Gæya
Finally, my boi gets some love
I believe harbinger of dawn (3* sword) would be a viable option too for support kaeya. Stat stick for crit rate & crit dmg
My man, I’m finally ready to build you after 8 months of playing this game 😭❤️
14:09 is my team. I'm glad somebody is talking about it. ❤️
OH MY GOD I WAS LITERALLY JUST WATCHING YOUR OLD KAEYA VID.. PERFECT TIMING
I’m building kaeya Amber noelle and Lisa bc I hate people hating on them and I’m spiteful enough to prove ppl wrong
Thank you so much Zy. I was debating Kaeya as a cryo support for Ayaka in the future and now you def got me interested
When you wanna do a kaeya build but your a newbie and your also broke:
Same here. I just started playing 1week ago
@@hanamurasaki5319 i played months ago but im still a noob :sob:
@@vashtine same T_T i want to build kaeya so bad but getting his constellations is the hardest i believe
@@khakikohii someone to finally relate
It’s very nice to see you review Kaeya again
Updated Kaeya guide when ;-;
I JUST started focusing on him today and watched your old vid!! omg the timing!!
I just got c1 kaeya so like every person, I decided to main him🏃
same lmao
Me getting c1 amber:
no matter how many 5 star charas i get lucky enough to pull i always end up sliding back to a 4 star kaeya dps freeze comp because its just so satisfying to play. when the free, starter team 4 star is my husband of choice ive never been tempted to spend a cent.... kaeya guardian of my wallet
I've been waiting for this for way too long
Realized Kaeya is really strong, decided to build him and got this video on my recommendations! Thank god RUclips knows
I want atleast a C1 Kaeya 😭 He's my fav character
Dude! I don't know HOW, but I literally opened RUclips to search for a Kaeya build (for my team with Eula) AND YOU JUST UPLOADED THIS!!!!
Thank you T-T
Updated guide when?
As a person who isn’t a gamer but plays genshin, I feel like I’ll never be able to use my characters to the best. Gaaaahhhhhh I feel like I need someone to hold my hand as I go through this game.
wooo kaeya deserves love !! i crowned his first talent recently and planning to triple crown in the future....just been busy with deadlines and no time to farm for mora/books yet...
Look at this dude uploading a video after midnight, what a beast
14:50 Wouldn’t you actually have 100% Crit Rate for your build because of Kaeya’s C1?
Yeah I got the same problem where his crit rate goes up to 110% cuz of c1........
I have been waiting for this. Ty dude
YESSS I NEEDED THIS SO BAD
IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG YES TY 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
"since I pulled for all the new characters I got quite a lot so I'm lucky"
Did you know Kaeya doesn't exist on the limited banners ? xD he literally cannot be pulled from them
Wait rlly my friend got kaeya from there
For real, I'm a Kaeya main and I always suffer for 5 months until he comes back in starglitter shop rotation
@@vaguevillainy he’s coming back to the shop in june but i dont have my starglitters ready :”
he can be pulled but its too damn rare. getting him even on the standard banner is nearly impossible in general,the starter characters have a lot of rarity
@@soham4741 thats true
i've been waiting for this vid, thanks so much!!
please do this for amber and lisa as well!
Wait for the elementai mastery update, maybe he will upload idk
he’s been on my team since i got him and does good damage! i probably won’t replace him until i get ayaka as he’s also my only built cryo.
For some f'ing reason, I somehow got C6 Lisa, yet no cons for Kaeya :pepeHands:
Wow do you build lisa?
@@BarQ__ I dont quite like the slow playstyle, plus I have enjoyed enough of mr. DIANO's Lisa KEK
@@tesseract3891 hahaha well its your choice but to get starter character for 6 cons, youre lucky
@@BarQ__ Yep thats quite lucky. Maybe someday I'll build her, when I run out of chars to play
You can buy his cons with starglitter
I literally jumped when I found that the shop has kaeya this month!! :))) I'm so happy
I desperately want his cons
I was just thinking of maining this man- The timing of this video is impeccable
omg you used to talk so slowly
thank u! this video came exactly at the time i decided to build main dps kaeya 😩
kaeya is pronounced as kaeya
It’s been a year we need an upgraded balls guide.
"You don't need a healer in this team."
Yeah, because Kaeya heals himself.
"Because you keep freezing enemies."
But what about his hea-
*moves to Team comps*
ZY0X, HIS HEALIN-
Just pulled c2 Kaeya and plan on getting c3 from the shop so thanks for the in depth guide!
balls
2pc noblesse and 2pc blizzard strayer has always been my artifact for my Kaeya since Dragonspine release.
Wait noblesse?
Yep, me too, kaeya and xiangling basically have similiar playstyle
This is the guide I needed. I recently crowned eyepatch man too...Now if only I had enough starglitter for his cons T-T
