The key it seems to me is by using both a master password and a key file. If a site gets cracked and they find your site specific password that won't help them determine your keepass database master password &/or generated key file that you only store offline and never sync to the cloud.

In order to open the database you need both the correct master password and the correct keyfile. If the attacker doesn't have both, they should not be able to get into the database.
