If you’ve been dabbling in a bit of retail therapy in Fontaine, then Genshin Impact’s Chiori may be a name that rings some bells. She owns the fashion-forward Chioriya boutique in the center of the city and has plenty of characters namedropping her and her fashionable ways – playable people and NPCs alike. She’s a playable unit that buffs geo damage and can do some good numbers on her own as a DPS.
Dive into what we know about Fontaine’s other characters like Genshin Impact’s Wriothesley, Genshin Impact’s Focalors, Genshin Impact’s Clorinde, and the geo gal, Genshin Impact’s Navia.
Here’s everything in our Genshin Impact Chiori guide:
What’s the best Genshin Impact Chiori build?
Chiori is a five-star sword user with a geo vision and fills a sub-DPS and supportive role in a mono-geo team like Genshin Impact’s Albedo.
| Best weapon | Uraku Misugiri |
| Weapon substitutes | Mistsplitter Reforged, Cinnabar Spindle |
| Best artifact set | Golden Troupe or Husk of Opulent Dreams |
| Main stats | Sands – defense Goblet – geo damage bonus Circlet – crit rate/damage |
| Sub stats | Defense, attack, crit rate, crit damage |
The best weapon for Chiori is her signature sword, Uraku Misugiri, and the best artifact sets are Golden Troupe and Husk of Opulent Dreams, depending on which stats you need to boost. Her kit scales off defense and attack, so make sure to build these accordingly.
Chiori has a deployable automaton that can provide extra damage and can create a second one if other geo constructs are on the field. Therefore, we recommend using her in a mono-geo team, or alongside at least Navia to capitalize on this damage output.
How do I use Chiori?
Chiori, as a sub-DPS, won’t be your most-used party member. Use her to deploy Tamoto, her non-destructible geo construct, to deal constant off-field geo damage. You can also use her personal attacks to deal even more damage alongside Tamoto, as it exists independently.
Using her alongside Ningguang, Zhongli, or Itto ensures her passive is activated thanks to their geo constructs. Then, it’s a case of using her skill and burst when they’re ready, and swapping to your main DPS to deal the damage.
What are the best weapons for Chiori?
Chiori comes with a new signature weapon, the Uraku Misugiri sword, which boosts her defense. This means that any other defense-based swords will also do the trick, including the very rare Cinnabar Spindle. If you happen to have a Traveler’s Handy Sword knocking around, this can work in clutch as it has a defense stat.
| Uraku Misugiri | Stat: Crit damage Skill: This sword increases Chiori’s normal attack damage by 16%, and her skill damage by 24%. When a nearby character deals geo damage, these effects increase by 100% for 15 seconds. Chiori’s defense also increases by 20% | Weapon banner |
| Mistsplitter Reforged | Stat: Crit damage Skill: Chiori gains a 12% geo damage bonus. This can stack, and at stacks 1/2/3, she gains an extra 8/16/28% damage bonus. You gain stacks by using normal and elemental attacks, using your burst, or having less than 100% energy | Weapon banner |
| Wolf Fang | Stat: Crit rate Skill: Damage dealt by Chiori’s elemental skill and burst increases by 16%. When her skill or burst hits an opponent, the crit rate of the skills increases by 2%. This lasts for ten seconds and can stack up to four times | Battle Pass reward |
| Traveler’s Handy Sword | Stat: Defense Skill: Every elemental orb or particle that Chiori picks up restores 1% of her HP | Found in Mondstadt chests |
| Cinnabar Spindle | Stat: Defense Skill: Chiori’s elemental skill damage increases by 40% of her defense stat. This can trigger once every 1.5 seconds and clears 0.1 seconds after her elemental skill deals damage | Event reward |
