Skyward Blade is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Kaeya's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Summit Shaper, Fleuve Cendre Ferryman and Absolution come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Kaeya, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Finale of the Deep Galleries on Kaeya, with Blizzard Strayer and Song of Days Past behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, Healing Bonus circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > ATK% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.
Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Hu Tao, Kaeya, Xingqiu and Zhongli, built around Kaeya: Cryo · Vaporize.
Kaeya's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Skyward Blade is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star sword with Energy Recharge as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Fleuve Cendre Ferryman is the best 4-star alternative.
