CHARACTER OVERVIEW
Clorinde is coming soon and you can start preparing for her arrival right now. Here is a summary of her kit and some of the possible ways she will find to fit the current meta.
✔️ On-field DPS
✔️ ATK scaling
✔️ High crit rate due to it being her ascension stat and also from her passive
✔️ Bond of life based
✔️ Self healing allows for greater versatility
✔️ Some of her possible teams include Aggravate, Hyperbloom, Quickbloom, Overload (Cheveruse), etc
Skills and Passives
ELEMENTAL SKILL:
✔️ Enters Night Watch state for 7.5 seconds [Electro infusion and normal attack changes to Wild Hunt]
✔️ Wild Hunt are ranged attacks that will generate 35% Bond of Life and deal increased damage when Bond of Life is BELOW 100% Max HP
✔️Recasting the Elemental Skill will trigger Impale the Night, a finishing move that gets the strongest when Bond of Life reaches 100% Max HP or more. After this, Bond of Life is cleared.
✔️ Impale the Night at 100% Bond of Life will deal damage and heal Clorinde.
✔️ When in Night Watch state, Clorinde can only heal herself with Impale the Night , but incoming healing from other sources will increase her Bond of Life.
✔️ Her basic skill usage will consist of shooting three times (Wild Hunt) to generate 100% Bond of Life, then finishing with Impale the Night
ELEMENTAL BURST
✔️ Gains Bond of Life and deal AOE electro damage.
PASSIVES
✔️ Ascension 1: will increase Clorinde's normal attack and burst damage by 20% of her ATK after triggering electro based reactions. [3 stacks]
✔️Ascension 2: Gain 10% CRIT RATE for 15 seconds each time Bond of Life increases or decreases. [2 stacks] [Bond of Life has to be over 100% Max HP]
✔️ Exploration: Nearby unique resources in Fontaine appear on the minimap.
BASIC USAGE
N3E [While Night Watch is active] 3 normal attacks into Impale the Night
Q > EE > 5N3E Burst will generate Bond of Life, then double Skill to enter Night Watch and clear Bond of Life from Burst, then finishing with as many N3E combos as you can while Night Watch is still active.
WEAPONS
Absolution [Signature Weapon]: BEST IN SLOT
The Black Sword [Battle Pass Weapon]: Marginally better than Finale of the Deep at R1, BIS 4⭐ at R5
Finale of the Deep [Craftable Weapon]: Best F2P 4⭐option
Constellations vs Signature Weapon
C1 wins, especially you already have any of the 5⭐weapons listed.
Her signature weapon seems like a luxury item at this point as only Clorinde can benefit from its passive, and even then it performs slightly below her first constellations.
CONSTELLATION STOPPING POINTS
C1 and C2 roughly amount to about 25% increase in damage each, depending on the team
C3 isn't as good since most of the damage is actually coming from her Ascension, which isn't affected by this constellation.
After that, only keep going if aiming for C6
BEST ARTIFACT SETS
4pc Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy - Her best artifact set.
4pc Gladiator's Finale - Good alternative to Whimsy.
4pc Thundering Fury - can allow for higher team wide damage in dendro teams.
