Clorinde is a 5-star Electro character that uses a sword to fight. She is an amazing DPS unit that takes up a normal amount of field time to deal massive amounts of damage spread out in various hits, so you likely won’t see any big numbers from her, but that does not mean she’s weak. Far from it.
In this guide, we’ll show you the best builds for Clorinde so that you can bring out the most of her potential.

Clorinde Introduction
Clorinde is the newest Electro character to join Genshin Impact’s roster, and she is a sword-wielding Electro 5-star.
Clorinde’s main damage output comes from her Elemental Skill (E), which places her into the [Night Vigil] state, where she gets an electro-infusion and starts blasting enemies with her pistols to do serious damage.
In this state, Clorinde gains [Bond of Life] with each normal attack and can choose to either do a normal attack or activate her E again to perform a lunge. Her lunge’s damage is highly impacted by the amount of [Bond of Life] she has, so the best combo for Clorinde is to activate her E, do 3x Normal Attacks, and press E again to do a lunge.
You simply repeat the above until the duration of the skill is over.
Her ult is nothing that special and is just a good damage-dealing ultimate with a low energy cost. Its unique gimmick is that it gives Clorinde 100+% [Bond of Life], which allows her to start her combo with one additional lunge before she gets into her normal attacks.
All in all, Clorinde is an amazing character with a ton of damage potential and one of the fastest characters in the game. So if you like fast characters, then she’s going to be right up your alley. Now then, let’s see how to build her.

Clorinde Best Teams
Clorinde generally works best in aggravate and overloaded team comps. She benefits greatly from having teammates that can trigger electro-based reactions, so having a second electro user, such as Fischl or Beidou, combined with a Dendro or Pyro unit will make her quite viable. Here are some team suggestions for Clorinde:
- Clorinde, Fischl, Nahida, Kazuha
- Clorinde, Fischl, Chevreuse, Thoma
- Clorinde, Furina, Nahida, Kazuha
Fischl here can be replaced with another Electro user, and Kazuha can easily be replaced with Sucrose if you do not have him.

Summary
Overall, we think Clorinde is a very solid character and an overall joy to play with. She is fast, and she is strong. Those looking for a fast-paced DPS and who have been wanting a bit more button-mashing in Genshin will easily find a welcome addition to their roster.
Additionally, given how her kit works, she can find a spot in a lot of teams, and if you’ve been using Keqing as your main Electro DPS, then she’s easily able to replace her.
Because her best-in-slot artifact set was released just recently, you might not have the best pieces for Clorinde, so it may take some time until you reach her potential, but even without it, Clorinde is still able to dish out serious damage to kill anything in the game with ease.
If you’ve been looking for a fast unit that will satisfy your desire to break your left mouse button, then Clorinde is definitely for you.
