Best Kaeya Builds

Kaeya is one of the sub-DPS characters in Genshin Impact. There are a lot of different builds and roles for Kaeya, but most players are using sub-DPS builds. Some players are using the main dps build, but that is not that good. Overall, we do not recommend you use him. His performance is really bad when you compare him to other characters. Kaeya is the A-tier character in Genshin Impact.
