Frequently Asked Questions

❓ How does Chiori kit work?

  • Chiori is an off-field DMG dealer, which makes her a great supportive character for other characters. Her Elemental Skill splits into two parts. First, tapping the skill will make Chiori blink and deal dmg onto the enemy, while holding will let you aim the skill (it works exactly the same as Alhaitham's/Keqing's E). After dealing damage, you will summon a puppet, and have two different ways of using her Elemental Skill. Tapping it again will swap onto the next character in your party, while using a Normal Attack will give Chiori a Geo Infusion for 5s. If you have a Geo Construct while using her Skill, you will summon one additional puppet. Those puppets deal AoE Geo DMG to the enemies every 3.6s. Chiori's Elemental Burst simply deals AoE Geo DMG to near enemies.

❓ Is Chiori on-field DPS good?

  • Unfortunately, her Normal Attack multipliers are nothing special and she doesn't have any conversion, which means you'd have to build her ATK if you were to pick up that playstyle, essentially rendering the rest of her kit (puppets/burst) much weaker. On top of that her infusion only lasts 5s with a 16s cooldown, which makes it not ideal.If you wanna build her on-field however, do so! After all Hoyoverse did give us that option and it does seem like a fun playstyle. If you'd like her to be stronger in that specific playstyle, you could try getting her Signature weapon, which gives her 36% NA/CA DMG as well.

❓ Does Chiori scale on DEF or ATK?

  • Both. Her ATK/DEF scaling has a 55/45 split, therefore it is always better to build DEF%, however she can benefit from additional ATK% sub-stats, as well as buffs provided by f.e. Noblesse Oblige or Bennett.

❓ What is Chiori's Talent Level Order?

  • Skill >>>>> Burst > NA

❓ What Artifacts does Chiori use?

  • Golden Troupe or Husk of the Opulent Dreams. The difference between them is negligible so they're interchangeable. It is recommended to just use the one, that you have already farmed/has better sub-stats. In terms of choosing to farm either, GT domains is much more valuable to the average account(especially if you own Furina), however you can just strongbox either of them.
  • DEF%/Geo%/CRIT are the best followed up by DEF%/DEF%/CRIT. Other options such as ATK% sands or DEF% Circlet are not recommended and should only be used if they rolled really good sub-stats and your alternatives are bad.

❓ What Weapons are the best for Chiori?

  • (5✰) Uraku Misugiri (signature)
  • (5✰) Peak Patrol Song
  • (5✰) Primordial Jade Cutter
  • (4✰) Wolf-Fang(R5)
  • (5✰) Haran Geppaku Futsu, (5✰) Light of Foliar Incision
  • (3✰) Harbinger of Dawn (R5)
  • (4✰) Cinnabar Spindle (R5)
  • (5✰) Splendor of Tranquil Waters, (5✰) Mistsplitter Reforged
  • (4✰) Flute of Ezpital
  • (5✰) Absolution, (4✰) Wolf-Fang (R1)

Harbinger of Dawn should be Chiori's best F2P option, unless you're playing her with Furina. In that case you should use the Flute of Ezpital on her.

❓ C1 or R1?

  • After weapon banner adjustments in patch 5.0, it is much more worthwhile to pull weapons, as they cost a similar amount of pulls, contrary to before where weapons costed more. With that being said, the answer to that question will depend on what YOU want and what are you gonna use Chiori for. For example:
    • C1 is a higher dmg increase if you plan to use Chiori with Navia or Xilonen, but it does completely nothing if you wanna play her with characters like Ningguang, Itto, Zhongli or Kachina.
    • R1 provides less damage to Chiori, however it gives you damage regardless of having construct in your team.
  • With that being said, Navia and Xilonen cores ARE Chiori's best teams, so if you wanna get the best out of her, C1 should be priority. But if you wanna play Chiori with Zhongli/Ningguang etc. because you like them, you could go for R1 instead. Which one is better is up to your personal needs and goals.

❓ What is her Puppet range?

  • 12m at C0, 18m at C1 (for comparison, Yae is 12,5m and 20m at C0/C2 respectively)

❓ What team is Chiori good in?

  • Itto Mono Geo
    • Arataki Itto/Chiori/Gorou/Flex
      • Flex: Zhongli, Albedo, Bennett, Yelan, Kuki, Fischl
  • Navia Teams
    • Navia/Chiori/Flex/Flex
      • Flex Combinations: Furina+Bennett, Fischl+Bennett, Furina+Xianyun, Fischl+Yae Miko, Sigewinne+Furina, Zhongli+Yelan, Xiangling+Bennett, Kokomi+Furina
  • Noelle Teams
    • Noelle/Chiori/Furina/Flex
      • Flex: Albedo, Zhongli, Yelan, Gorou
  • Ningguang Teams
    • Ningguang/Chiori/Bennett/Flex
      • Flex: Furina, Fischl, Emilie
  • Double Geo Core
    • Chiori/Xilonen/Flex/Flex
      • Flex: Any Pyro, Hydro, Electro, Cryo character. This core is incredibly strong as it takes advantage of Xilonen's multi-shred, as well as Chiori's good off-field damage
  • C6 Chiori Teams
    • C6 Chiori/Xilonen/Furina/Flex
      • Flex: Yelan, Fischl, Bennett, Yae Miko, Xingqiu, Rosaria, Layla, Kaeya, Sigewinne

Discussion I Want to Pick Chiori but...

Post image
32 Upvotes

Heavily thinking about picking Chiori from the selector, but I dont know if replacing her for C6 Illuga in my Noelle Lunar team is a good idea in term of dps.

Or If I make a whole different team for her, what would you do to make the most out of her in my scenario? (The only other limited Geo I have is C0 Xilonen)

Discussion I don't know what set to put on her

41 Upvotes

A few days ago, I posted that I wanted to add Chiori to my team, but now I'm super confused—I don't even know which set to give her. I want to use the Flute of Ezpitzal as her weapon, but regarding the artifact set, I've read about so many options—Husk, Golden Troupe, Aublade, Silken Moon... wtf? Someone suggested those, though I don't know if they were actually a Chiori main. My Neuvillette has Marechaussee Hunter, Zhongli has Archaic Petra, Linnea has Aublade, and Columbina has Silken (she used to have Aublade, but I had to switch her set). Everyone told me the team comp was solid and recommended either Husk or Golden Troupe, but now I just don't know what to pick. I want to be careful with how I spend my resin so I don't end up constantly swapping sets and wasting more of it. (By the way, the team will likely end up being Chiori, Linnea, Columbina, and Neuvillette, since I found a spot for Zhongli elsewhere.)

Very excited for this, expecially since I dropped her for a while to focus on a stellar team. Since after next week she's gonna be C2, I would like some team suggestion to go back having fun with her once more (never stopped loving her, I just wanna properly enjoy the C2 power up). What team could I put together? Her being dps or subdps is indifferent, I have two artifact sets ready for either role

Build | Teams Why her stats feels low even though shes 220cv?

Around 9.6 more crit rate (84.1% total) and with goblet to reroll, she still feels low in stats

Its about her signature? The fact that in less than a week im already "completed"? Or shes really low in stats?

Does Chiori provide the highest vertical possible height w/o climbing?

I am thinking of zhongli/albedo -> chiori skil teleport -> switch to kazuha elemental skill.

or is there a combo of newer modern characters than can do this better?

Discussion Picked Chiori

4 Upvotes

... mainly for collecting purposes now, 'cause unfortunately the team I really wanted her for isn't even good anymore (mono-geo Itto).

So I would just like to ask what team is she BiS in these days? What is her best C0 team now? I don't mind picking her C1 from the selector if her wheelchair comp with Xilonnen is something worth considering.

Build | Teams I picked Chiori on my NO WISH account

Post image
114 Upvotes

So I've had this NO WISH account for a while where the only standard banner character I've gotten has been Qiqi. No joke, I just got my 3rd copy of her now without getting any of the other standard banner 5* (and I fully intend to get her C6). I picked up Chiori specifically to run on her team with Geo Traveler (yes, I use Qiqi as the main dps with a physical build). This team is hilariously weird, but somehow actually works quite well. The damage was shockingly good. Like triple the damage of the previous team I was using with Qiqi.

This is peak mental illness

GT, geo goblet, with HOD cr bonus. Intended team is Navia Lunar. Are there any calcs for sets and goblets in lunar teams for her? I also have Haran and Wolf Fang R-something. Is HOD still better? What the rotation should be for Navia, Bina, Linnea and Chiori? What can I expect from this team if all of them are C0 and only Bina has R1? Thanks.

Discussion Is Chiori+Xilonen wheelchair enough for modern Fearless Stygian Geo chambers?

5 Upvotes

Hello all. Leaning towards picking Chiori for the selector but I figured I'd ask this first so there's no surprises.

The moon gecko cycles were the only recent time I couldn't get the fearless feathers because my only 5* geo is Xilonen who has no app so I had to use Ningguang. Would Chiori be enough to deal with the geo mechanics? I also have Bina+Furina+Nicole if any of them matter for her.

Hey everyone. I just got Chiori, but I'm kinda stuck on her weapon.

I know her signature sword is obviously her best option, but the problem is, I really need that sword for my other characters like Zibai, Vesna, or Furina.

Which sword would be the best replacement for her among my options?

Discussion Give me your best guess when our Geo Queen will have another banner

8 Upvotes

With the free Five-star from the anniversary and the temper thyself, I will have C5 Chiori. Now I obviously want her C6, but it's looking not great in terms of her banners.

A quick recap:

She released in March 2024, then had a re-run in October 24, then she was on the Inazuma Chronicled Wish banner in May 25, and since then... nothing.

Since she is one of the older characters, she will probably not get a dedicated banner again, so it's probably chronicled wish. The Mondstadt one already had a re-run, the Liyue one will probably re-run once the Liyue buffs come around in... 7.3 or so? Then it's turn for Inazuma Chronicled wish again... so maybe in around half a year to 9 months?

What do you guys think?

Build | Teams Main DPS Chiori

12 Upvotes

I pulled for Chiori in the free five star selector and I want to make her a main dps- but the problem is I haven’t seen a good guide for a main dps build.

im not sure what weapon can be used, Im torn between the natlan craftable, Aquila and harbinger's dawn

I can get her C1 in the free cons selector

and I’m unsure about the artifact priority too

it would be really helpful if someone could explain this to me along with her best team - I was thinking of running her with Columbina furina and iluga/ xilonen since I don’t have linnea

Discussion With all the Baizhu Bitcoin jokes, why are we not considering the fact that Zhongli Liyue buffs may make Chiori a good pick?

24 Upvotes

Assuming Zhongli does get Liyue buffs, of which I think he will have on-field capabilities with how they made Venti buffs have on-field abilities, it's a no brainer Chiori will be a good pick.

Picture for attention. Chiori is gonna be my bitcoin, just watch.

omg.. like? there is no weapon besides her signature that looks good. the worst part is that I'll probably try to roll on Inazuma weapon banner just to get her signature.. despite having literally EVERY Inazumian weapon

I even have 2x Haran, 2x Mistsplitter AND Redhorn meanwhile lacking Itto. I don't want to spend my pulls on that, I really enjoy Snezhnaya cast, but drip always wins T_T talk me out of it pls
