Clorinde Gameplay
Clorinde's gameplay centers around her unique "Bond of Life" system, which converts incoming healing into adamage-boosting resource during her Elemental Skill state. Her kit primarily scales on her ATK, and she enables powerful Electro-related reactions, Aggravate, Overload, and Electro-Charged, for her teams.
Her Elemental Skill, Hunter's Vigil, creates an on-field "Night Vigil" state that continuously applies Electro to enemies. About every 3 shots, her "Impale the Night" mechanic triggers a powerful lunge that clears her Bond of Life, deals massive damage, and recovers her HP. When the Bond reaches 100% or more, she deals her highest instance of damage through a special piercing attack.
Her Elemental Burst, Last Lightfall, creates an Electro domain that deals AoE damage to all surrounding characters. Enemies also receive specific debuffs when caught in the field: Aggravated enemies receive increased CRIT DMG, Overloaded enemies get reduced interruption resistance, and Electro-Charged enemies have a 33% chance to trigger an extra shockwave when Electro Harmony is triggered.
Her A1 Passive increases her CRIT Rate. Her A3 Passive buffs the base Electro damage inflicted by all party members based on her ATK, providing approximately 20% Electro Reaction DMG increase. This makes stacking ATK on Clorinde incredibly valuable for both her personal damage and team support capabilities.
Clorinde Talent Priority
Clorinde's talent priority focuses on her Elemental Skill and Burst, which provide the majority of her utility and damage amplification.
| Talent | Recommended Level |
|---|---|
| Elemental Skill | 10+ |
| Elemental Burst | 9+ |
| Normal Attack | 1+ |
Elemental Skill - Hunter's Vigil
Level Clorinde's Elemental Skill first to maximum level (Level 9 or 10). Her Skill provides the "Night Vigil" state, transforming her attacks into pistolet shots and lunging strikes. Since her damage during this state scales purely from this talent rather than her Normal Attack talent, maximizing this is the most effective way to increase her DPS.
Elemental Burst - Last Lightfall
Level Clorinde's Elemental Burst alongside her Skill to a high level. The Burst deals massive AoE Electro damage and grants her an immediate Bond of Life based on her Max HP. This investment is crucial for her burst-window damage, especially in teams like Aggravate or Overload where initial Electro application is key.
Normal Attack - Oath of Hunting Shadows
Normal Attack investment is the lowest priority and can be left at Level 1. Her damage during her Elemental Skill state uses unique multipliers from the Skill talent, making standard Normal Attack leveling unnecessary for her role as an Electro Hypercarry.

Clorinde Best Artifacts & Stats
Clorinde’s artifact choice depends on your preferred rotation and team composition. If you want to lean into her maximum personal damage and high-burst windows, Clorinde pairs best with the Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy set to capitalize on her Bond of Life fluctuations. If you prefer a more fluid playstyle with higher uptime on her Elemental Skill, Thundering Fury is the superior choice to reduce her cooldowns through Electro-related reactions

Clorinde Best Team Compositions
When building a team for Clorinde, you must consider three key factors: Electro Application, reaction synergy, and survival utility. Since Clorinde cannot be healed by teammates during her skill (only by herself), traditional healers are less effective unless they provide buffs or off-field element application. Instead, she thrives with shielders or buffers who can enhance her damage while she self-sustains.
1. Aggravate Teams
This is Clorinde's most consistent playstyle. The interaction between Electro and Dendro (Quicken) allows her rapid attacks to trigger constant Aggravate procs, drastically increasing her personal damage.
| Main DPS | Buff Support | Sub DPS | Flex Support |
|---|---|---|---|
Clorinde (5★) | Nahida (5★) | Fischl(5★) | Kazuha (5★) |
Clorinde (5★) | Baizhu(5★) | Yae Miko(5★) | Kazuha (5★) |
Clorinde (5★) | Collei (4★) | Fischl (4★) | Yaoyao (4★) |
Clorinde (5★) | Kirara(4★) | Fischl (4★) | Sucrose(4★) |
2. Overload Teams
Overload has transformed into a powerhouse archetype thanks to Chevreuse, who shreds enemy resistance effectively without needing an Anemo support.
| Main DPS | Buff Support | Sub DPS | Flex Support |
|---|---|---|---|
Clorinde (5★) | Chevreuse(4★) | Fischl (4★) | Mavuika (5★) |
Clorinde (5★) | Chevreuse(4★) | Durin(5★) | Beidou (4★) |
Clorinde (5★) | Chevreuse(4★) | Xiangling (4★) | Bennett (4★) |
Clorinde (5★) | Chevreuse(4★) | Yae Miko(5★) | Dehya(4★) |
3. Electro-Charged & Quickbloom (Hypercarry Hybrid)
This category focuses on raw damage amplification, "Taser" reactions, or mixing in Dendro for Hyperbloom (Quickbloom), which is currently one of her strongest meta archetypes.
| Main DPS | Buff Support | Sub DPS | Flex Support |
|---|---|---|---|
Clorinde (5★) | Xilonen(5★) | Furina (5★) | Kujou Sara (4★) |
Clorinde (5★) | Nahida(5★) | Furina(5★) | Baizhu (5★) |

Clorinde Constellations

Constellation Effect
| Constellation | Effect |
| C1 | "Clorinde, From This Day Forth" While Clorinde is in the Hunt Decree state, when her Normal Attacks deal Electro DMG, she will summon a Shadow Prophet to perform coordinated attacks, dealing Electro DMG equal to 30% of her ATK. This effect can be triggered once every 1.2s. |
| C2 | "Now, as We Face the Night'' Enhances the passive "Dark-Shattering Flame." After a party member triggers an Electro-related reaction, Clorinde’s Electro DMG is increased by 30% of her ATK for 15s. At 3 stacks, her interruption resistance is significantly increased. |
| C3 | "I Pledge to Shield the Day'' Increases the Level of Elemental Skill: Hunt Decree by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| C4 | c4''To Reminisce Tears and Life'' When Last Lightfall (Elemental Burst) deals DMG to opponents, the DMG dealt is increased based on Clorinde's current Bond of Life percentage. Every 1% of Bond of Life increases DMG by 2%, up to a maximum of 200%. |
| C5 | ''To Remember the Dawn's Vows'' Increases the Level of Elemental Burst: Last Lightfall by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| C6 | ''And So Shall I Never Despair'' After using Hunt Decree, Clorinde's CRIT Rate is increased by 10% and CRIT DMG by 70% for 12s. Additionally, she summons a Glimmering Shade that deals 200% of ATK as Electro DMG and reduces incoming DMG by 80%. |
