Overview

  • Shielder
  • Dendro support

Kirara is a 4-star Dendro shielder. Her Elemental Skill makes a shield based on her Max HP, and holding it turns her into a delivery box that rams enemies and stacks extra shields. Her burst throws a package that splits into many small Dendro explosions, which applies Dendro over a wide area for a few seconds.

Build her for HP, because her shield and her damage bonuses both scale with Max HP. She does not need much else to do her job. Use her when a Dendro team wants protection and some extra Dendro, especially Bloom and Hyperbloom teams where few other shielders fit the elements.

Weapons

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

  1. Key of Khaj-Nisut ★★★★★

    A large HP boost that strengthens her shield, and its team Elemental Mastery bonus helps Bloom and Hyperbloom teams.

  2. Favonius Sword ★★★★

    Energy particles from crits help her and the team get bursts back. A good choice when the team is short on Energy.

  3. The Dockhand's Assistant ★★★★

    A 4-star with HP as its main stat, which goes straight into her shield size.

  4. Sapwood Blade ★★★★

    A craftable sword. Energy Recharge helps her burst, and in reaction teams the Elemental Mastery leaf can be picked up by whoever is on the field.

  5. Festering Desire ★★★★

    A free event sword with Energy Recharge and a skill damage bonus. Fine if it is what you have.

Artifact sets

  1. Tenacity of the Millelith 4-piece

    Her skill hits enemies easily, so the party ATK and Shield Strength bonus is reliable, and the 2-piece HP fits her scaling.

  2. Deepwood Memories 4-piece

    Use this when no one else in the team carries Deepwood Memories. Her skill and burst hits apply the Dendro resistance shred.

  3. Tenacity of the Millelith + Deepwood Memories 2-piece each

    A mixed set that gives HP and Dendro damage. Fine while you farm a full set.

Teams

  • Nilou Bloom

    Nilou's Bloom team only allows Hydro and Dendro, so Kirara is one of the few shields that fits. She adds Dendro and protection from the Bloom explosions.

  • Hyperbloom

    Xingqiu and Nahida make Dendro cores and Kuki turns them into Hyperbloom. Kirara shields the active character and adds a second Dendro source.

  • Budget Bloom

    A team of 4-stars for newer players. Hydro from Xingqiu and Barbara and Dendro from Kirara and Collei keep Bloom going, and her shield blocks a lot of the self-damage.

Tips

  • Hold her skill and ram several enemies before it ends. Each enemy hit adds to the shields she gets when the box state finishes.
  • Her shield absorbs Dendro damage with extra efficiency, which helps against Dendro enemies and Bloom self-damage.
  • Cast her burst right before swapping out so the Cat Grass Cardamoms keep applying Dendro after she leaves.
  • Sprinting or canceling a climb ends the box state early, so let it run out or press the skill again to finish with the stronger kick.

Other character guides recommend Kirara as a teammate in these teams.

Talents

Normal Attack Boxcutter
Normal Attack Performs up to 4 rapid strikes. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 3 rapid claw strikes. Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Elemental Skill Meow-teor Kick
Press Leaps into the air with all the agility of a cat passing through the bushes, and thwacks her foes with a flying kick that deals AoE Dendro DMG while creating a Shield of Safe Transport. This will also briefly apply Dendro to Kirara. The shield will absorb Dendro DMG with 250% effectiveness. The shield's DMG absorption will be based on Kirara's Max HP and will not exceed a certain percentage of that Max HP. The remaining DMG absorption on a Shield of Safe Transport will stack on a new one when it is created, and its duration will reset. Hold Out of her desire to "deliver within half a day," Kirara deploys a Shield of Safe Transport identical to the one that can be created by pressing the skill. She will also curl up into a special express delivery box, entering the Urgent Neko Parcel state in order to move and fight more swiftly. Urgent Neko Parcel · Deals Dendro DMG to opponents she crashes into. This effect can be triggered once on each opponent every 0.5s. · When in this state, Kirara's movement speed, climbing speed, and jumping power are all increased, and her Stamina Consumption from climbing is increased. · When the duration ends or the skill is used again, a Flipclaw Strike more powerful than the attack in the Press Mode will be unleashed, dealing AoE Dendro DMG. · The Urgent Neko Parcel state lasts a maximum of 10s. When the state ends, the skill will enter CD. The longer Kirara spends in this state, the longer the CD will be. · Sprinting or actively canceling climbing will end this state early.
Elemental Burst Secret Art: Surprise Dispatch

Passive talent Bewitching, Betwitching Tails
When Kirara is in the Urgent Neko Parcel state of Meow-teor Kick, each impact against an opponent will grant her a stack of Reinforced Packaging. This effect can be triggered once for each opponent hit every 0.5s. Max 3 stacks. When the Urgent Neko Parcel state ends, each stack of Reinforced Packaging will create 1 Shield of Safe Transport for Kirara. The shields that are created this way will have 20% of the DMG absorption that the Shield of Safe Transport produced by Meow-teor Kick would have. If Kirara is already protected by a Shield of Safe Transport created by Meow-teor Kick, its DMG absorption will stack with these shields and its duration will reset.
Passive talent Pupillary Variance
Every 1,000 Max HP Kirara possesses will increase the DMG dealt by Meow-teor Kick by 0.4%, and the DMG dealt by Secret Art: Surprise Dispatch by 0.3%.
Passive talent Cat's Creeping Carriage
