Here’s everything you need to know about Clorinde’s talents, constellations, ascension materials, and more.

Clorinde is a 5-star Electro Sword character. She takes up the role of the main DPS in the party. Like Arlecchino, Clorinde needs smart management of the Bond of Life status effect as well as her Night Vigil state to deal maximum damage.

In the story, we first meet her in version 4.0 before finally becoming playable in Genshin Impact version 4.7. She played a big role in the Fontaine Archon Quest and captivated the hearts of the playerbase, especially with her interactions with Navia.

If you're interested in building your Clorinde, you're in luck! She's not picky with her teammates, but make sure to keep an eye on her Bond of Life.

Clorinde Skills

Clorinde's kit revolves around Bond of Life and the Night Vigil state. During the Night Vigil State, Clorinde can build up Bond of Life by attacking. However, she cannot be healed during this state.

  • Normal Attack: Executes up to five rapid strikes.
  • Charged Attack:  Consumes a certain amount of Stamina and fires Suppressing Shots in a fan pattern with her pistolet.
  • Elemental Skill - Hunter's Vigil: Enters the Night Vigil state, converting her normal attacks into Swift Hunt pistol attacks and her Elemental Skill into Impale the Night, a lunging attack. You want to activate Swift Hunt when she has equal to or greater than 100% of her max HP.
  • Elemental Skill - Impale the Night: When Bond of Life is 0% of Clorinde's HP, perform a lunging strike. When it is <100% of her max HP, heal based on the Bond of Life value and perform a bigger strike. When it is 100% of her max HP, amplify all the effects.
  • Elemental Burst (Last Lightfall): Grants herself a Bond of Life based on maximum HP, evading and striking with both her saber and sidearm, dealing AoE Electro damage.

Clorinde's passive abilities further enhance her combat effectiveness:

Constellations

Unlocking Clorinde's constellations augments her abilities significantly:

"From This Day, I Pass the Candle's Shadow-Veil"

  • While Hunter's Vigil's Night Vigil state is active, when Electro DMG from Clorinde's Normal Attacks hit opponents, they will trigger 2 coordinated attacks from a Nightvigil Shade summoned near the hit opponent, each dealing 30% of Clorinde's ATK as Electro DMG.
  • This effect can occur once every 1.2s. DMG dealt this way is considered Normal Attack DMG.

"Now, As We Face the Perils of the Long Night"

  • Enhance the Passive Talent "Dark-Shattering Flame": After a nearby party member triggers an Electro-related reaction against an opponent, Electro DMG dealt by Clorinde's Normal Attacks and Last Lightfall will be increased by 30% of Clorinde's ATK for 15s. Max 3 stacks. Each stack is counted independently. When you have 3 stacks, Clorinde's interruption resistance will be increased. The Maximum DMG increase achievable this way for the above attacks is 2,700.

"To Enshrine Tears, Life, and Love"

"Holding Dawn's Coming as My Votive"

  • Increases the Level of Last Lightfall by 3.
  • Maximum upgrade level is 15.

"And So Shall I Never Despair"

  • Additionally, while Night Vigil is active, a Glimbright Shade will appear under specific circumstances, executing an attack that deals 200% of Clorinde's ATK as Electro DMG. DMG dealt this way is considered Normal Attack DMG.
  • The Glimbright Shade will appear under the following circumstances:
    • When Clorinde is about to be hit by an attack.
    • When Clorinde uses Impale the Night: Pact.
  • 1 Glimbright Shade can be summoned in the aforementioned ways every 1s. 6 Shades can be summoned per single Night Vigil duration.
