So, whether you lack a good DPS unit or are like me, whose first goal is to add the waifu to the collection and then consider whether to use her in a daily team, you must know about the best build for Clorinde.
This is where our guide comes in handy as our Genshin Impact Clorinde best build explains the stats you must focus on to increase damage numbers and draw out the full potential of her character kit while recommending the best artefacts, weapons and team comps for her that will help you in achieving the build.
The Best Build For Clorinde
The best build for Clorinde is where you focus on improving stats like ATK%, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and Electro damage.
Similar to Arlecchino, Clorinde uses the new Bond of Life gameplay mechanic to power up her abilities based on the change in Bond of Life value.
Now, you may be wondering how you can gain Bond of Life with Clorinde. After all, it plays a vital role in bringing out her true DPS potential.
So far, based on the current data mined character kit, Clorinde can gain Bond of Life via the following methods:
- Clorinde can gain Bond of Life through her Elemental Skill's Swift Hunt state. In this state, she fires her pistolet, which grants her Bond of Life. Whenever her Bond of Life is less than 100%, the amount gained is based on her max HP.
- Clorinde also gains Bond of Life when she is in the Night Vigil state, in which healing effects other than Impale the Night do not take effect and are instead converted into a Bond of Life that is a percentage of the healing that would have been received.
- If you have the Lawful Remuneration Passive skill unlocked, the Bond of Life gain from healing is increased
- She also gains Bond of Life based on her max HP when she uses her Ult "Last Lightfall."
That being out of the way, you must know that Clorinde's Elemental Skill, "Hunter's Vigil," DPS output depends on Bond of Life and Elemental Burst, "Last Lightfall" also gets a 1:2 (Bond of Life%: Ult DMG Increase%) buff if you have her fourth Constellation "To Enshrine Tears, Life, and Love" unlocked.
Lastly, before we talk about the best weapons, artifacts, and teams, you must know that Clorinde's Lawful Remuneration skill grants her two stacks of a 10% CRIT Rate increase when her Bond of Life is equal to or greater than 100% of her Max HP and there's a change in Bond of Life value (increase or decrease).
Best Weapons For Clorinde
Clorinde's best weapon in Genshin Impact is her Signature Sword, Absolution. This sword offers a CRIT DMG sub-stat with a weapon skill called Deathly Pact, which increases CRIT DMG by 20%.
Moreover, increasing the value of a Bond of Life increases the DMG the Clorinde deals by 16% for 6s, which stacks up to three times.
- Base Attack - 47.54
- Substat Type - Critical DMG%
- Base Substat - 9.6%
- Weapon Skill - Deathly Pact
- CRIT DMG increased by 20%. Increasing the value of a Bond of Life increases the DMG the equipping character deals by 16% for 6s. Max 3 stacks.
- Description
- A rapier once wielded by a deceiver who had forsaken everything. In the past, it was primarily used as a tool when he had to disguise his identity.
Apart from her Signature Sword, there are some other great weapons like Raiden Shogun's Mistsplitter Reforged and Ayato's Haran Geppaku Futsu.
If you have both, based on your CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG ratio, select any of the two, as one offers a CRIT DMG sub stat and the other offers a CRIT Rate increase.
You can also go for weapons with ATK% sub stat or any other with CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG. The final choice really depends on which weapon you have and the balance between ATK%, CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG.
Lastly, for free-to-play players, these are the best weapons for Clorinde that you should be using:
- The Black Sword (Partial F2P - Battle Pass)
- Harbinger of Dawn (Complete F2P)
Which Weapon Will I Use On Clorinde?
I will be using the Black Sword or an R5 Harbinger of Dawn on Clorinde and will not be wishing for her Signature Sword, Absolution, until and unless I see a need. That said, I am sure the damage with the Black Sword will be more than enough to draw out Clorinde's DPS potential.
Best Artifacts For Clorinde
The best artifact for Clorinde in Genshin Impact is the Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy. Two pieces grant an increase in ATK by 18%, and four pieces offer an increase in damage by 18% for 6 seconds, stacking up to three times whenever there is a change in Bond of Life value.
- 2-Piece Bonus - ATK +18%
- 4-Piece Bonus - When the value of a Bond of Life increases or decreases, this character deals 18% increased DMG for 6s. Max 3 stacks.
You can also use the Gladiator's Finale set as an alternative, as it also greatly increases ATK% and ATK damage. Apart from these two, you can also combine two pieces of artifacts like Shimenawa's Reminiscence, Echoes of an Offering and others to focus on ATK%.
Lastly, the Thundering Fury is also a great artifact to use on Clorinde, seeing how her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst works.
- 2-Piece Bonus - Electro DMG Bonus +15%
- 4-Piece Bonus - Increases DMG caused by Overloaded, Electro-Charged, Superconduct, and Hyperbloom by 40%, and the DMG Bonus conferred by Aggravate is increased by 20%.
