Clorinde is a highly anticipated character in Genshin Impact and a prominent figure in Fontaine's story arc as the undefeated Champion Duelist and Furina's bodyguard. In her gameplay, she excels thanks to her effective use of the Bond of Life mechanic, similar to Arlecchino, allowing her to deal more damage while infusing her attacks with Electro. This makes her a versatile character suitable for various team compositions that benefit from elemental reactions, particularly options like Aggravate.

Stylish and complementary, these designs capture the personalities of these Genshin Impact characters.
However, players should keep in mind that, like many characters, Clorinde as a main DPS is heavily reliant on her build to maximize her damage output. Here are the artifacts and weapons players should aim to utilize for high DPS while enjoying her gameplay and animations in Genshin Impact.

Clorinde Best Artifact In Genshin Impact
As Clorinde's kit makes good use of the Bond of Life mechanic, players should focus on maintaining Bond of Life on her at all times to maximize her damage and healing multipliers and keep the Electro infusion on her normal attacks. She benefits greatly from a 4-piece set of Fragment of Harmonic Whims, which boosts her damage as her Bond of Life value changes. However, for players who prefer not to farm this specific artifact set with optimal stats, alternatives like Gladiator's Finale or Thundering Fury are also quite useful.
Thundering Fury can reduce the cooldown of her skill, allowing for longer field time, which is particularly beneficial in Aggravate teams with a strong off-field Dendro applier like Nahida. However, for players who prefer frequent character swapping, it might not be the best option. Gladiator's Finale, on the other hand, increases her ATK and normal attack damage, making it an easy-to-maintain and beginner-friendly option since it's been available since the start of the game.
Other viable options include Marechaussee Hunter, especially if paired with Furina, or Echoes of an Offering, which, while not as optimal as the previous sets, still provides decent benefits for Clorinde. Ultimately, the best artifact choice depends on the team composition, as sets like Thundering Fury versus Gladiator's Finale can significantly impact performance in different situations.
For main stats, players should aim for ATK% on the Sands, Electro DMG Bonus on the Goblet, and Crit DMG or Crit Rate on the Circlet. Given that Clorinde gains Crit Rate with her ascension bonus, the choice between Crit DMG and Crit Rate on the Circlet should depend on the weapon used. Sub-stats should focus on Crit Rate, Crit DMG, Energy Recharge (which is less crucial if using a battery character like Fischl), ATK%, and Elemental Mastery for specific compositions like Aggravate.
Clorinde Best Weapon In Genshin Impact
Clorinde greatly benefits from weapons that enhance her critical damage and overall damage output, given her DPS role. While Crit Rate weapons are also considerable if their passive is quite fitting, its worth noting that due to her Ascension Crit Rate, they can have some Crit Value loss, if players are not able to optimize the artifact sub-stats in particular. Overall however, most of her 5-star options perform quite similarly, and ultimately the decision can be made based on which options they have access to.
Absolution, her signature weapon, is particularly strong with its Crit DMG substat and passive ability that increases damage when the Bond of Life value increases as well as further increasing the Crit DMG, making her attacks more potent. Mistsplitter Reforged and Light of Foliar Incision are excellent alternatives, both offering Crit DMG substats and additional damage bonuses that complement her Electro-infused attacks.
Haran Geppakku Futsu is another strong option, and on paper technically better than Mistsplitter Reforged or Light of Foliar Incision, boosting Crit Rate and providing an Elemental DMG bonus as well as Normal ATK bonus, though players should be careful not to overemphasize Crit Rate due to Clorinde's ascension bonuses. Similarly, Primordial Jade Cutter also offers a Critical Rate % substat and increases both her HP and attack power based on this HP, enhancing her survivability and synergy with the Bond of Life mechanic. Though its worth noting that Bond of Life mechanic is not based on HP value, but it is a certain percentage of her HP, so adding HP to Clorinde doesn't technically allow her to gain more Bond of Life value.
For players looking for a more accessible option, The Black Sword is an excellent 4-star choice if they purchase Battle Pass, increasing Crit Rate and providing a healing effect on critical hits which can be converted to Bond of Life, which helps further for Clorinde's DMG. Otherwise the craftable weapon Finale of the Deep is also noteworthy, with an ATK % substat and a passive that boosts attack power and synergizes with the Bond of Life mechanic, making it a reliable free-to-play option.
