Overview

  • On-field Geo damage
  • Shielder
  • Healer

Noelle is a sturdy claymore user who can carry a team on her own once her Elemental Burst is up. Her Elemental Skill wraps her in a shield that scales with her DEF and gives her Normal and Charged Attacks a chance to heal the whole party. Her Elemental Burst widens her swings, turns all of her attacks into Geo DMG and adds ATK based on her DEF, so her damage comes from DEF more than ATK.

Build her for DEF, Geo DMG and crits. She wants enough Energy Recharge to have the burst ready each rotation, since most of her damage happens inside it. She is at her best in teams full of other Geo characters who raise her DEF and damage.

Weapons

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

  1. Redhorn Stonethresher ★★★★★

    The best fit. It raises DEF and adds a share of DEF to every Normal and Charged Attack, and its large CRIT DMG stat helps her crits.

  2. Serpent Spine ★★★★

    A strong 4-star for a character who stays on the field. CRIT Rate plus a damage bonus that builds up the longer she is out. Taking damage removes a stack, so play around big hits.

  3. Whiteblind ★★★★

    Craftable at the Blacksmith. DEF from the main stat and the passive both feed her burst, which makes it the best free option.

  4. White Iron Greatsword ★★★

    A 3-star with DEF as its stat. A fine placeholder for a new account until you get one of the options above.

Artifact sets

  1. Husk of Opulent Dreams 4-piece

    Built for DEF-scaling Geo characters. It adds DEF and Geo DMG Bonus as she attacks, which is exactly what her burst wants.

  2. Husk of Opulent Dreams + Archaic Petra 2-piece each

    A good mix while you farm: DEF from one set and Geo DMG Bonus from the other.

Teams

  • Mono Geo

    Gorou adds DEF and Geo DMG Bonus, while Albedo and Chiori deal Geo damage off the field. Every member is Geo, so Gorou's buffs reach their full strength.

  • Budget Mono Geo

    Built from 4-stars. Ningguang adds Geo damage and a Geo DMG Bonus, and Yun Jin boosts Normal Attack damage, which is all Noelle does in her burst.

  • Geo with Zhongli

    Zhongli's shield and resistance shred keep her safe and add damage, so her own shield matters mainly for its healing.

Tips

  • Cast the Elemental Skill before the burst. The shield keeps you from being knocked around and the healing chance comes from your attacks during the burst.
  • Her attacks shorten the skill's cooldown, so you can often recast the shield before the burst ends.
  • Most of her damage happens inside her burst. If it is not ready when you come back to her, add Energy Recharge before more damage stats.
  • She does not need a separate healer in most teams, which frees a slot for another Geo damage dealer or buffer.

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