Ensure this duelist is a true champion.
The best Clorinde build in Genshin Impact will allow you to get the most out of this champion duelist and her incredibly flashy moves. While Clorinde is entering a fairly stacked field as an on-field electro DPS, meaning she’s up against the likes of Raiden Shogun, Keqing, and Cyno, she brings a few unique mechanics that make her worth considering.
She specialises in mixing ranged gunshots and powerful dashing sword strikes in order to whittle down the HP of her enemies, and with the right team combo, is sure to overpower even the hardest fights. To help you build her right, we’ve got everything you need, including her abilities and ascension materials.

Clorinde is the second character to use the Bond of Life mechanic, with the first one being the mighty Arlecchino. Activating Clorinde’s skill, Hunter’s Vigil, puts you into a special stance where normal attacks are transformed into pistol shots. These are infused with the electro element, and while they’re considered normal attacks, they actually scale off of the level of the skill itself. These shots also generate Bond of Life, and can pierce through opponents.
This stance change also swaps her elemental skill for Impale the Night, which lets you lunge forward to deal damage, and clears your Bond of Life in order to heal Clorinde—though she can’t be healed by other characters while in this state. Her elemental burst does a few hits of damage as well, and also generates extra Bond of Life, making it good at the start of her field time.
Weapon: Absolution or Finale of the Deep
Clorinde’s best weapon is her signature one: Absolution. This five-star sword has a decent amount of attack, but it provides a huge amount of crit damage as well, not only from the weapon sub-stat, but also from its passive. Alongside that, it boosts your damage substantially when increasing the value of the Bond of Life.
If you’re looking at a heap of other five-star swords and don’t want to shell out on Absolution, then your best bet is either Mistsplitter Reforged or Haran Geppakku Futsu. There’s not much difference between them, but it is worth noting that Clorinde gets a lot of crit rate from her passive and her own stats, which means that Mistsplitter Reforged is more ideal due to its crit damage sub-stat.
For four-star options, Finale of the Deep is an excellent choice. This weapon gives a truly monstrous amount of attack, and also grants Bond of Life as well, meaning it synergises with Clorinde’s general playstyle. Better yet, you can forge it using Midlander Sword Billet’s so it’s completely free-to-play friendly to forge and refine.
Artifacts: Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy (Four-pieces equipped)
Clorinde’s best artifact set is the Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy. This set not only boosts attack as its two-piece bonus, but it buffs overall damage whenever the Bond of Life value on the character changes. It was quite literally built for both Clorinde and Arlecchino. However, as it’s still a fairly new set, you can also do very well with the Gladiator’s Finale set, which boosts normal attack damage substantially.
In terms of stats, because Clorinde will be at her best when in aggravate teams, you’ll usually want to go for an elemental mastery sands, an electro damage goblet, and a crit damage circlet. You’ll want to get a bit of energy recharge if you’re planning on playing her as the only electro unit, but if you pair her with Fischl in those teams, then you can just focus on attack, crit stats, and elemental mastery.
Clorinde Abilities And Constellations
Here we’ve got the full list of Clorinde’s abilities. Big thanks to Honey Impact here, because the volume of text required for modern-day Genshin Impact characters makes our heads hurt:
Clorinde Ascension Materials

To level up Clorinde to the maximum level, you’ll need all of the items listed below. This doesn’t include experience books, so just make sure you have plenty of them.
Vajrada Amethyst (One sliver, six gemstones, nine fragments, nine chunks)18 Transoceanic Pearl30 Transoceanic Chunk36 Xenochromatic Crystal46 Fontemer Unihorn168 Lumitoile420,000 Mora
Vajrada Amethyst pieces can be nabbed by defeating electro bosses like the Electro Regisvine and the Millennial Pearl Seahorse. You’ll likely want to stick to the Seahorse here though, as that’s the boss you’ll need to farm for the Fontemer Unihorn. Transoceanic and Xenochromatic items can be gained from Fontemer Aberrants, like the crabs, octopi, and jellyfish you can find underwater in Fontaine.
Finally, you can find Lumitoile on the beaches of Fontaine. If you’re reading this and you’ve got Neuvilette, then you’ll remember having to grab them for him too.
