If you're interested in pulling for Clorinda in Genshin Impact, you can get ahead of the game by checking out our recommendations for the best Clorinde build below. Just remember that the information below is based on leaks and may not represent the best build of Clorinde upon release.
We will update this guide once Clorinde is officially released.
Best weapons for Clorinde in Genshin Impact
According to leaks, Clorinde DPS relies heavily on the Bond of Life mechanic to boost her Elemental Ability, which serves as one of her main sources of damage (second to her Normal Attack). The goal is to have Link of Life at over 100% of her max HP, so she benefits from weapons that can help her stack it easily.
- Absolution (best five-star, signature weapon) – This is Clorinda's signature weapon and her best in-slot five-star choice as it offers a simple CRIT DMG boost and further increases DMG whenever the Bond of Life value of the owner increases.
- Final of the Deep (best free-to-play four-star) – This free-to-play craftable weapon is Clorinde's best four-star choice as it offers an ATK boost and Bond of Life (25% of max HP) whenever the wielder uses his Elemental . skill When the Link of Life is cleared, Clorinde can receive additional flat ATK bonuses.

Best Artifacts and substats for Clorinde in Genshin Impact
Based on Clorinde's filtered kit, her best in-slot Artifact set is the Fragment of Harmonic Whim as it offers amazing bonuses for characters who rely on the Bond of Life mechanic. I highly recommend farming for it if you can. Otherwise, Clorinde can also be paired with the universal Gladiator's Finale.
- A Four Piece Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy (best in slot) – This set is Clorinde's best in slot choice as it offers an ATK bonus and an extra DMG bonus whenever her Bond of Life value increases and decreases. Clorinde can give herself a Life Bond and can be paired with a healer to lower it.
- This Artifact set can be obtained from the Faded Theater Domain in Fontaine.
- The Final of Gladiator – An alternative that offers an ATK boost and a Normal Attack DMG boost when the wielder is a sword, Claymore, or pole user.
- Two piece combos – If you're having trouble farming for the Fragment of Harmonic Whim, I recommend one of these two-piece combos as temporary supplements.
- Gladiator's Finale (+18% ATK)
- Echoes of Offering (+18% ATK)
- Shimenawa's Remembrance (+18% ATK)
- Thunder Fury (+15% Electricity DMG Bonus)
Clorinde's best artifact substats
- Sands: ATK
- Cup: Electricity DMG Bonus
- Circle: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
- Substatics: ATK, CRIT, and some ER to reach your goal
- If you're using the Leaf Incision Light, consider stocking around 80 EM at a minimum.

Genshin Impact Clorinde Talent upgrade priority
Clorinde's gear is still changing frequently in the beta, so there is currently no certainty as to her Talent upgrade priority. But with the current leaks, she would benefit from the next order.
- Normal Attack: Marechaussee Creed
- Elemental Ability: Hunt the Darkness
- Elemental Blast: Last Light
Since Clorinde's Elemental Burst is primarily used to give her Life Bond, most of her damage output will come from her Normal Attack and Elemental Ability (which also convert to Normal ATK DMG, hence why it's ranked higher).
Best team for Clorinde in Genshin Impact
Because Genshin Impact allows for so much flexibility in playstyle, there are many ways you can fit Clorinde into different teams. I encourage you to experiment with the characters already on your roster to find a team that works with your preferred gameplay.
It's important to know that Clorinde is a primary DPS unit that requires field time, so she's best paired with characters who won't be fighting for field time. Hers Link of Life can also be healed by a healerso I strongly recommend having a reliable healer on the team to benefit from her BiS Artifact set.
- Overloaded team template – Clorinda + Chevreuse + Bennett + off-field Electro sub-DPS (Raiden Shogun, Yae Miko, Fischl, Beidou, Kuki Shinobu)
