Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse has officially revealed Chiori as the new five-star character joining the game's expansive roster in version 4.5. The fan-favorite RPG continues to expand its world and deepen its lore with exciting new updates that introduce unique characters. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming 4.5 five star character, Chiori.
Who is The Five Star Character in Genshin Impact 4.5 Update?
According to HoYoverse's announcement, Chiori is known as the "Thundering Seamstress" and runs the Chioriya Boutique in Inazuma.
- Players got their first look at Chiori in the Version 4.3 update through the event "Roses and Muskets."
- She was shown traveling to Fontaine to help recurring NPC Xavier with his latest film project.
Chiori's much-anticipated debut as a playable character fulfills previous fan speculation about her arrival. She represents the second Geo character to join Genshin Impact during the Fontaine story cycle after Navia's release in Version 4.3.

Expected Gameplay Style and Role
While official details remain scarce, leaks suggest Chiori's kit will fill a sub-DPS role in Geo-focused team compositions. Her unique abilities appear to utilize Geo puppet constructs for off-field elemental damage.
- Many believe Chiori's puppets will not count as typical Geo constructs.
- This opens interesting team-building possibilities with characters like Zhongli and Geo Traveler who provide their own constructs.
Her Elemental Burst is rumored to deal massive upfront Geo damage before summoning puppets. This burst potential reinforces her viability as a sub-DPS rather than an on-field main DPS.

Ongoing Geo Element Expansion
Chiori signifies an important step in HoYoverse's ongoing efforts to expand and improve the Geo element within Genshin Impact. Despite the game featuring several interesting Geo characters, the element is considered underpowered and underutilized by much of the player base.
- Navia and Chiori represent a push to make Geo more versatile and synergistic.
- Their unique Construct abilities allow for new reactions and combinations.
- More Geo diversity can potentially solve persistent complaints about the element feeling outdated and restrictive.

Chiori's official reveal stokes anticipation for Version 4.5 and the future of Genshin Impact heading deeper into 2024.
