Kaeya (Freeze DPS) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Kaeya | Update Date: 10/21/2023 | Editor: ._.samantha._.
• Best Weapon(s):
Mistsplitter Reforged
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):
Amenoma Kageuchi, Cursed Blade
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.

Kaeya (Melt DPS) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Kaeya | Update Date: 08/28/2022 | Editor: Luno#1337
• Best Weapon(s):
Mistsplitter Reforged, Primordial Jade Cutter
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):
Skyward Blade
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:
4 Gilded Dreams
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%.

Synergies
Kaeya | Team Composition and Synergy
Character Guide • Synergy: Kaeya | Update Date: 08/17/2022 | Editor: Luno#1337
Kaeya when paired with Rosaria forms a formidable cryo duo. Leaning into the quickswap playstyle, players are encouraged to use the duo in teams that allow for this playstyle to best utilize both Kaeya’s as well as Rosaria’s short skill CD’s.
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.

Namecard
Kaeya: Pavo Ocellus
Namecard style. The pattern of peacock feathers resembles eyes that never shut. Can we really say that this Pavo Ocellus is missing an eye...?

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.
