What’s the best Clorinde build?
Clorinde is a five-star character who uses the electro element and a sword weapon. She uses pistols in her animations, too. As a DPS character, she excels at dealing heavy damage to her enemies while utilizing her unique abilities to navigate through combat quickly. Her playstyle encourages players to be agile and strategic in their approaches, making her a fun character to master.
| Best weapon | Absolution |
| Weapon substitutes | Mistsplitter Reforged, Lion’s Roar |
| Best artifact set | Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy |
| Main stats | Sands – Attack Goblet – Electro damage bonus Circlet – Crit rate/damage |
| Sub stats | Crit rate, crit damage, attack, energy recharge |
Genshin Impact’s Clorinde, the champion duelist, is a very capable electro DPS. Her elemental skill infuses her attacks and lets her zip from enemy to enemy multiple times, dealing electro damage on each hit. This mobility, combined with her damage output, makes her a versatile character in various team compositions.
She primarily scales off her attack stat, so we recommend artifacts like Echoes of an Offering, though she also employs a Bond of Life – which means the Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy set works well for her. In terms of swords, Clorinde’s best weapon is her signature, Absolution. As for who to put her in a team with, hyperbloom reactions work very well with Clorinde, but you can aim for overloaded, aggravate, or quicken as well.
What are the best weapons for Clorinde?
Clorinde, as a five-star unit, has her own signature weapon – The Absolution sword is her best in slot. However, there are plenty of options you can use instead, such as the Mistsplitter Reforged, or even the four-star Lion’s Roar. The key is to pick a weapon that has either attack or crit rate/damage as its main stat to add to Clorinde’s damage.
| Absolution | Stat: Increases crit damage Skill: Clorinde’s crit damage increases by 20%. Increasing the value of Clorinde’s Bond of Life increases her damage by 16% for six seconds. This can stack three times | Weapon banner |
| Mistsplitter Reforged | Stat: Increases crit damage Effect: Gain a 12% electro damage bonus. At stacks 1/2/3, Clorinde’s elemental damage increases further by 8/16/28%. Each stack has an individual duration and is gained through normal attacks (with elemental damage), using an elemental burst, and having less than 100% energy | Weapon banner |
| Finale of the Deep | Stat: Increases attack Effect: When using her elemental skill, Clorinde’s attack increases by 12% for 15 seconds. She also gains a Bond of Life worth 25% of her maximum HP. This effect can trigger once every ten seconds. When the Bond of Life is cleared, Clorinde gains a maximum of 150 attack, based on 2.4% of the Bond when cleared – this boost lasts for 15 seconds | Forged |
| Lion’s Roar | Stat: Increases attack Effect: Increases damage against enemies affected by pyro or electro by 20% | All banners |
| The Black Sword | Stat: Increases crit rate Effect: Increases the damage of Clorinde’s normal and charged attacks by 20%. Additionally, she regenerates 60% of her attack as HP when normal and charged attacks score a crit hit. This can trigger once every five seconds | Battle Pass |
