Intro
Kaeya is a 4-star Cryo sword user functioning as an off-field DPS. I'll go over artifacts, teams and weapons :)
Weapons
Kaeya's Artifacts
Kaeya's Teams
A Kaeya DPS Melt team consisting of the usual characters: Noblesse Bennet, two-piece ATK ATK Shenhe and VV Shred Kazuha. And of course, Kaeya with a two-piece of EM and ATK, but Blizzard Strayer two-piece instead of ATK or EM works fine. The rotation should be: Kaeya E - Kazuha E - Bennett Q, E - Kazuha Q- Shenhe E, Q (Use maximum amount of charges on E if higher constellations) - Kaeya Q, E, NA spam until Q duration expires (E when available)
A usual perma-freeze teem consisting of VV Shred Kazuha, Ocean-Hued Clam Kokomi, two-piece ATK ATK Shenhe and Blizzard Strayer Kaeya. Kokomi can also use Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers, so you can swap Shenhe and Kokomi's place in the rotation below if the weapon is equipped. An optimal rotation would be: Kokomi E - Kazuha Q - Shenhe E,Q - Kazuha E - Kaeya E,Q, NA and E spam until burst expires (switch to Kokomi and use skill or burst to heal if needed)
Outro
Overall, Kaeya is a free alternative to other better Cryo DPS characters, but in the early game he is great. He can do a great job but only with maximum investment and by then, it's worth more to focus on other characters like Ayaka, Rosaria or even Wriothesley. But as always, if you like hispersonality and character, no one can stop you from playing your favourite character.
