It is imperative that you use the best build for Clorinde in new playable characters in Genshin Impact 4.7, along with the nurse Sigewinne and the scholar Sethos.

To ensure Clorinde operates at the peak of her performance as an Electro DPS, you will be required to aid her with the best build. This includes pairing her up with a proper weapon to wield and the ideal Artifact set to enhance her Bond of Life abilities. In addition to that, you will need to carefully select a proper team comp to accompany her, both to increase her damage output via Elemental Reactions and to keep her safe – it is worth noting that Clorinde has a skill that prevents her from receiving outside healing in Genshin Impact.

Best Weapons For Clorinde (Best Swords)

Look For Swords With DPS-Focused Bonuses

The first step you should take when building Clorinde is finding her a suitable sword to wield. The best sword for Clorinde is called Absolution, and it is the best for her because it was tailor-designed to attend to her needs. The limited 5-star sword Absolution has an impressive base ATK stat (674 at level 90) and an even better CRIT DMG sub-stat (44.1% at level 90). Additionally, Absolution’s skill grants an extra 20% CRIT DMG bonus, and, whenever Bond of Life increases, the DMG the equipping character deals is boosted by 16% for six seconds, up to three stacks.

The table below lists the best builds, including the best weapon for Clorinde in Genshin Impact, the ideal Artifact and stats, and more:

Absolution is perfect for Clorinde because her regular gameplay rotation via her kit will see her constantly increasing her Bond of Life in the Night Vigil state activated by her Elemental Skill. As such, not only will she have a massive boost to CRIT DMG, but Clorinde will most likely always have the three stacks of increased DMG activated, essentially boosting her damage output by a whopping 48%. Bond of Life is a debuff that prevents her from receiving outside healing and puts her at risk, but with her skills and the Absolution sword, she can operate at her best.

With Absolution’s bonus to CRIT DMG in Genshin Impact, it becomes even easier to build her, as you can focus on farming Artifacts that provide more CRIT Rate and will, likely, struggle less when distributing the two stats.

However, Absolution is Clorinde’s 5-star signature sword, meaning not only is it difficult to obtain, but you only have a chance of getting it when it comes into rotation. Nevertheless, there are great 5-star weapon substitutes for Clorinde, even if they fall a bit behind the potential granted by Absolution. Ayaka’s Mistsplitter Reforged is a great 5-star sword for Clorinde because it grants the same stat and sub-stat and, additionally, the weapon’s skill offers an Elemental DMG Bonus. The weapon gains stacks with Normal Attacks that deal Elemental DMG – which Clorinde does because of her Night Vigil state.

With each stack, Clorinde gets an 8% Elemental DMG Bonus to Electro, up to three stacks. Mistsplitter Reforged significantly buffs her potential as an Electro DPS on the field. Alternatively, you can use Ayato’s Haran Geppaku Futsu 5-star sword, which grants a 608 base ATK stat (at level 90) and a 33.1% CRIT Rate sub-stat (at level 90). The weapon’s skill boosts Elemental DMG and gives a bonus to the ’s Normal Attack DMG by gaining stacks whenever teammates use Elemental Skills in Genshin Impact.

Haran Geppaku Futsu is a great set-up sword for Clorinde. The party use their Skills to protect and buff Clorinde, and then she comes onto the field and triggers her own Elemental Skill, thus activating the Normal Attack DMG Bonus to fight opponents.

If these 5-star swords are unavailable for usage, you can rely on Primordial Jade Cutter, a 5-star sword that is part of the regular loot pool. The weapon’s base ATK stat (542 at level 90) is suboptimal though its CRIT Rate sub-stat is good (44.1% at level 90). Primordial Jade Cutter’s skill grants the a 20% HP boost and an ATK Bonus based on 1.2% of their Max HP. This is not as effective for Clorinde since you will not build her HP too heavily, but it is still a viable alternative due to its offensive stats.

If no good 5-star swords are available, there are solid 4-star options. Finale of the Deep is the best 4-star weapon for Clorinde since it plays into the Bond of Life mechanic, helps her gain the debuff, and grants her extra benefits from having it and clearing it. Weapons like The Black Sword, Iron Sting, and Lion’s Roar also work very well with Clorinde. However, if you can, aim for Finale of the Deep, as it is a F2P (free-to-play) weapon in Genshin Impact that can easily be taken to R5.

The rule of thumb is to find weapons that increase her basic offensive stats knowing that most of Clorinde’s damage comes from her Normal Attacks, which are enhanced by her Elemental Skill.

Best Team Comps For Clorinde

Electro Unit Can Work With A Variety Of Characters

When it comes to the teammates aiding Clorinde in battle, you have a lot of leeway, so long as you treat the 5-star Electro character as your main damage dealer and have party who provide her . The best team comps for Clorinde are those that have a powerful and consistent sub-DPS, an enabler, and a unit. The ideal way to play Clorinde is to take advantage of Aggravate, Electro-Charged, or Hyperbloom Elemental Reactions, though you can also use Overloaded and Burgeon Reactions in Genshin Impact.

The table below lists a few team comp suggestions for Clorinde:

The possibilities are many, and you can swap certain characters for others based on your available roster and your own preferences. Xingqiu, for instance, is the go-to substitute for Yelan, while Fischl can often match or even sur the potential of Raiden Shogun. You can use Thoma as a Pyro as opposed to Bennett in an Overloaded team – though Chevreuse in Genshin Impact is indispensable in an Overloaded formation. Most teams will work so long as you have Clorinde as your main character.

Best Artifacts, Stats, & Skill Priority For Clorinde

Stats & Sub-Stats Are The Same Used By Traditional DPS Characters

The best Artifact set for Clorinde is Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy. With all four pieces, she will gain an 18% ATK bonus and whenever her Bond of Life fluctuates, Clorinde deals 18% increased DMG for six seconds, up to three stacks. This plays perfectly with the way her gameplay rotation works and should be the priority when farming. If you have not yet unlocked the Island of Petrichor and the Faded Theater Domain that drops it, you can temporarily use Thundering Fury as a substitute for the Artifact set for Clorinde in Genshin Impact.

Thundering Fury is a very good set for Electro characters, but Clorinde is at her best when exploiting her Bond of Life mechanic.

When farming these Artifacts, you will want to look for pieces that grant CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG, ATK, and Electro DMG bonuses to the character. These are the most valuable ones for Clorinde as a sub-DPS unit and should be at the top of your list. Notable sub-stats you can take advantage of are Elemental Mastery (which will increase the damage of her Elemental Reactions) and Energy Recharge, which will help her charge her Burst.

After gathering all the materials for Clorinde’s Ascension in Genshin Impact and taking her to level 90, you should start working on leveling her Talents. The most important one in her kit is her Elemental Skill, which triggers her Night Vigil state. That is immediately followed up by her Normal Attacks, which will be taken into consideration when striking foes in the Night Vigil state. The last, yet still important part of her abilities is her Burst. It is a very powerful nuke ability that can effectively help reset her Night Vigil state, thus restarting her rotation.

Overall, building Clorinde is very straightforward. She does not have weird stat-scaling and her needs are not too different from traditional DPS units, even with her Bond of Life mechanic. Additionally, there are several weapon options to choose from and team comp possibilities, making her a very achievable DPS that can be set into several types of parties in Genshin Impact.
