Clorinde build guide · GenGuru: Your guru for Genshin Impact

Overview

Electro main damage
Normal Attack damage dealer

Clorinde is an on-field Electro damage dealer. Her Elemental Skill puts her in the Night Vigil state, which turns her Normal Attacks into pistol shots that deal Electro damage that cannot be overridden by infusions. Shooting builds her Bond of Life, and her Skill's lunge, Impale the Night, spends it to heal her and hit harder. Healing from other sources becomes more Bond of Life while Night Vigil is active, so outside healers do not heal her normally during her turn.

Her ascension talent adds damage based on her ATK each time the party triggers an Electro-related reaction, so she wants teammates who keep reactions going: Pyro for Overloaded, Dendro for Aggravate. Gear her as a standard crit damage dealer with ATK%, an Electro goblet and crits.

Weapons

Best first. Every sword on this list links to its page.

Absolution ★★★★★
Her signature sword. CRIT DMG plus a damage bonus each time her Bond of Life increases, which her shots, her burst and incoming healing all do during her turn.
Mistsplitter Reforged ★★★★★
Very good for any Electro Normal Attack carry. The Elemental DMG Bonus stacks come easily from her elemental Normal Attacks.
Haran Geppaku Futsu ★★★★★
Gives a big Normal Attack bonus if teammates use their Elemental Skills before she casts hers, which fits how her team rotates.
Light of Foliar Incision ★★★★★
A solid crit option. The Elemental Mastery bonus is worth more in Aggravate teams.
The Black Sword ★★★★
The best 4-star choice for most players: CRIT Rate and a flat Normal Attack damage bonus, both of which suit her.
Finale of the Deep ★★★★
Craftable at the Blacksmith. Its ATK bonus and Bond of Life interaction work with her kit, making it a fair free option.

Artifact sets

Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy 4-piece
Made for Bond of Life characters. Her Bond of Life rises and falls all the time, so the damage stacks stay up.
Gladiator's Finale 4-piece
A reliable fallback: ATK and a flat Normal Attack bonus, which is most of her damage.
Thundering Fury + Gladiator's Finale 2-piece each
Electro DMG Bonus plus ATK. Use it while you collect pieces for a four-piece set.

Teams

Overloaded
- Clorinde
- Chevreuse
- Bennett
- Fischl
Chevreuse lowers Electro and Pyro RES once the team triggers Overloaded, Bennett adds ATK, and Fischl gives more Electro to keep reactions frequent. All three are 4-stars, so this is easy to put together.
Aggravate
- Clorinde
- Nahida
- Fischl
- Kaedehara Kazuha
Nahida keeps enemies under Quicken so Clorinde's shots Aggravate. Fischl adds off-field Electro and Kazuha boosts Electro damage.

Tips

Fire Normal Attacks to raise her Bond of Life, then use Impale the Night at or above 100% for the stronger Pact version and its bigger heal.
Her burst grants a large Bond of Life, which sets up a strong Impale the Night right after.
Her shots deal Electro damage that cannot be overridden, so infusion effects from teammates do not change her element.
Make sure a teammate triggers Electro-related reactions often. Her ascension talent only adds damage after a party member triggers one.
