Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
Clorinde’sBond of Life mechanicis central to her playstyle inGenshin Impact, allowing her to deal increased damage and benefit from healing multipliers when the Bond of Life value increases, while she also benefits from Electro-infusion for her normal Attacks. This mechanic not only makes her a formidable Electro character but also provides her with flexibility in team compositions. To fully harness her potential, Clorinde can equip a variety oftop-tier 5-star weaponsthat elevate her critical stats and overall damage performance, ensuring she remains a powerhouse on the battlefield.
For players who prefer a more budget-friendly approach, there are also several strong 4-star weapon options that can effectively complement Clorinde’s abilities. These weapons provide reliable boosts to her critical and attack stats, making her a valuable asset in any team without the need for the highest-tier investments. Whether opting for premium 5-star weapons or accessible 4-star alternatives, players can find suitable options to maximize Clorinde’s potential and make the most of her Bond of Life mechanic, eventhough not many options actually particularly require Bond of Life at all,similar to how Arlecchino can also utilize many optionsthat don’t require utilizing this mechanic effectively.
8Finale of the Deep
This craftable F2P-friendly weapon is the best 4-star option exceptThe Black Sword, as it can give a decent amount of ATK through its secondary stat, as well as passive effect while also synergizing well with Clorinde’s mechanics, providing a reliable source of increased attack power and compatibility with her Bond of Life mechanic.
7The Black Sword
As the best 4-star options, for those that purchase Battle Pass, this weapon increases Crit Rate and provides a healing effect on critical hits. While Clorinde can’t typically heal herself with any other means than Impale the Night during her Night Vigil state, this healing will still be converted into a Bond of Life, making it a great option to increase her ATK even further while sustaining BoL.
6Uraku Misugiri
While it may be Chiori’s signature,Uraku Misugirican work with Clorinde, given thatshe is paired with a Geo characterthat can deal DMG, since this will help her further with Normal ATK DMG significantly. While it also provides a solid Crit DMG value, counting as a good stat stick, comparing to the other 5-star options on this list, it lacks behind, since it reduces Clorinde’s flexibility with rotation and team compositions to gain the full effect.
5Primordial Jade Cutter
Featuring a Crit Rate substat and an HP boost, this weapon increases Clorinde’s survivability and attack power to some extend. The HP on its own might not be considered super useful, however since it converts to ATK Bonus, Clorinde can still benefit significantly from it. It’s also worth noting that, while Bond of Life mechanic is tied to HP, it is based on a percentage, and does not scale higher with higher HP, so there isn’t a significant synergy in regards to this mechanic.
4Light of Foliar Incision
With a Crit DMG higher than her signature,Light of Foliar Incisionalso works quite well for Clorinde beyond being a stat stick, not only increasing her Crit Rate, but also increasing Normal Attack DMG. However, this weapon only works optimal if Clorinde is built with EM, which in most instances will not work as great as ATK build on her. If players are planning an Aggravatebuild with Nahidaand other allies that can increase her EM however, it can still work quite well.
3Mistsplitter Reforged
With its Crit DMG substat and elemental damage bonuses that stack with Elemental Energy usage, this weapon significantly boosts Clorinde’s Electro damage, making her normal and Elemental Burst attacks more powerful. However, in order to make good use of this weapon, players might be more reliant on from battery characters likeFischlto have a good Energy management, despiteClorindeoverall energy requirement and Elemental Burst CD being relatively low.Mistsplitter Reforgedalso has same Primary and Secondary stat values, making it a solid option without needing to invest in different artifacts or unflexible team compositions.
2Haran Geppakku Futsu
This weapon boosts Crit Rate and provides an Elemental DMG, as well as Normal ATK DMG bonus bonus, making it a strong choice for increasing Clorinde’s Overall DPS. It’s effect is easily maintainable with characters that can often proc their Elemental Skill DMG,such as Fischl, Yae Miko or Nahida. However, players should be cautious about over-investing in Crit Rate when using this weapon, as Clorinde already benefits from Crit Rate ascension, and too much can reduce the overall value compared to balancing Crit Rate and Crit DMG.
1Absolution
Being Clorinde’s signature weapon, Absolution is also the best option for her, as it provides perfect synergy with her kit. with a Crit DMG substat and further enhancement of this stat with its passive effect, helping significantly with building some Crit DMG for her. It’s also one of the few options that actually benefits from increasing her Bond of Life value, as this will further increase her DMG, while being an easily maintainable condition for Clorinde specifically.
