Frostgnaw
Kaeya seems affable, but his nature is that of unyielding ice.

Glacial Waltz
These icicles will follow the character around and deal Cryo DMG to opponents in their path for the ability's duration.
A winsome smile, genial words, and the merciless hoarfrost that lies beneath... These are all Kaeya's weapons.

Builds
Kaeya (Freeze DPS) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Kaeya | Update Date: 10/21/2023 | Editor: ._.samantha._.
• Best Weapon(s):
Best-in-Slot weapon on Kaeya in freeze teams, especially when with a character to provide infusion.
Wolf Fang
Battle Pass weapon, does have a CRIT passive, but provides good DMG Bonus%
Light of Foliar Incision, Haran Geppaku Futsu
Hard to fully use passives, but strong stat-sticks.
• Replacement Weapon(s):
Strong F2P weapons that perform well. Amenoma helps to reduce his ER requirements significantly while Cursed Blade is an option as an attack stat stick.
Harbinger of Dawn
Niche weapon that can be fairly strong with its CRIT DMG stat and CRIT Rate passive ( >90% HP, which can be easily maintained in a freeze team)
Is less valuable due to how much CRIT Rate the Freeze teams get.
Favonius Sword
Recommended when he's played off-field or as a support.
• Best Artifact Set:
• Main Stats Priority
<goblet> Cryo DMG Bonus%
<circlet> CRIT DMG
• Substats Priority
CRIT Rate (up until 45% CR assuming 4BS & Cryo resonance)

• Notes:
Kaeya (Melt DPS) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Kaeya | Update Date: 08/28/2022 | Editor: Luno#1337
• Best Weapon(s):
Kaeya's Best-in-Slots in quickswap owing to the large crit stats supplied.
Lions Roar, The Alley Flash
Potent 4 star weapons with passives and stats that compliment Kaeya well in Reverse Melt/ Quickswap playstyles.
• Replacement Weapon(s):
When Kaeya's Energy Requirements are high enough for Skyward Blade's Energy Recharge stat to be worth noting, it can be a decent weapon option.
Harbinger of Dawn
The low base attack issue is largely subsided when Kaeya is played in Reverse Melt as he is usually paired with Bennett — who provides a large attack buff for Kaeya to make use of.
Amenoma Kageuchi
Still a relatively strong F2P weapon as the weapon's ability to lower Kaeya's Energy Requirement is appreciated in this playstyle. ( unable to capitalize on Kaeya's A4 )
• Best Artifact Set:
Strictly better than 2 piece combinations as the artifact set Provides much more Elemental Mastery and Atk% stats, which are much appreciated in Reverse Melt compositions.
4 Lavawalker
Usually having almost 100% uptime on the pyro aura, the 4 set effect is maintained rather easily but the artifact set is not something worth farming on Kaeya specifically.
4 Emblem of Severed Fates
A potent artifact set to run on Kaeya, especially when he requires a large amount of Energy Recharge of around or over 140-150%.
• Second Best Artifact Set:
Pick the artifact combination with the better substats or use the optimizer instead and let the site find out the best 2 piece combination for your Kaeya.

Outside of the Kaeya + Rosaria duo, players can run Kaeya as either a secondary cryo to one’s cryo main damage dealer, or as an off-field burst DPS/ support. Players can also pair him with Chongyun to use Kaeya as an On-Field DPS to a limited degree of success.

Outfits
Icy Featherflight
DefaultKaeya's outfit. Fashionable clothes festooned with a fur collar.
Sailwind Shadow
Kaeya's outfit from his role as the "Dagger Bandit" in the play. Though flamboyant and designed to be as eye-catching as possible, it isn't difficult to put on, though it does take some time to get all the accessories and daggers sorted.
Kaeya Alberich is an adopted son to the Ragnvindr Family, the renowned wine tycoon. It has been a long time since he last called Diluc Ragnvindr "brother." Kaeya currently serves as the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius, and is trusted by Jean. Kaeya is often the one wrapping things up in every incident that occurs in Mondstadt's vicinity.
Kaeya, Knight of Favonius. Please allow me to join you on your journey. Guarding you on your journey sounds far more entertaining than any of the usual Favonius stuff.
