Skills
Normal Attack
Oath of Hunting Shadows
Performs up to 5 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina and fires Suppressing Shots in a fan pattern with her pistolet.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Elemental Skill
Hunter’s Vigil
Preparing her pistolet, she enters the “Night Vigil” state, using steel and shot together. In this state, Clorinde’s Normal Attacks will be transformed into “Swift Hunt” pistolet attacks, and the damage dealt is converted into Electro damage that cannot be overridden by infusions, and she will be unable to use Charged Attacks.
Using her Elemental Skill will transform it into “Impale the Night”: Perform a lunging attack, dealing Electro damage. The damage done through the aforementioned method is considered Normal Attack damage.
Elemental Skill
Swift Hunt
– When her Bond of Life is equal to or greater than 100% of her max HP: Performs a pistolet shot.
– When her Bond of Life is less than 100%, firing her pistolet will grant her Bond of Life, with the amount gained based on her max HP. The shots she fires can pierce opponents, and damage dealt to opponents in their path is increased.
Elemental Skill
Impale the Night
The current percentage value of Clorinde’s Bond of Life determines its effect:
– When the Bond of Life value is 0%, perform a normal lunging strike;
– When the Bond of Life value is less than 100% of her max HP, Clorinde is healed based on the Bond of Life value, and the AoE of the lunging attack and the damage dealt is increased;
– When the value of the Bond of Life is equal to or greater than 100% of her max HP, use Impale the Night: Pact. The healing multiplier is increased, and the AoE and DMG dealt by the lunge is increased even further.
In addition, when Clorinde is in the Night Vigil state, healing effects other than Impale the Night will not take effect and will instead be converted into a Bond of Life that is a percentage of the healing that would have been received.
Clorinde will exit the “Night Vigil” state when she leaves the field.
Elemental Skill
Arkhe: Ousia
Periodically, when Clorinde’s Swift Hunt shots strike opponents, she will summon a Surging Blade at the position hit that deals Ousia-aligned Electro damage.
Elemental Burst
Last Lightfall
Grants herself a Bond of Life based upon her own max HP before swiftly evading and striking with saber and sidearm as one, dealing AoE Electro damage.

Clorinde‘s Elemental Skill must be prioritized since this is where majority of her damage will come. This is followed by the Elemental Burst which also allows her to deal massive amounts of damage. Last is her Normal Attack, but still as equally important as the other two.
Highest Priority:
Elemental Skill
Mid Priority:
Elemental Burst
Lowest Priority:
Normal Attack
Notable Constellations are the following:

Best Teams
Clorinde joins the roster of Main DPS in Genshin Impact, and would be used as one in all of her teams listed here. She does great damage with her Elemental Skill and Burst. She can rapidly deal damage to her enemies and can even clear mobs in a matter of seconds. Note that you can substitute the characters as long as they fit the role and element, especially if stated. This is to accommodate everyone who might not have the limited characters listed.
Aggravate
Nahida
Baizhu
Kazuha
Clorinde is the Main DPS, with Yae Miko acting as her sub-DPS. This would allow Clorinde to take majority of the on-field time since we’ll just need to switch to Yae for her skill and burst. For Dendro, you could choose Nahida, Baizhu, or other Dendro characters you have. Kazuha is the last member so all the enemies are placed near each other and Clorinde can just go berserk.
Hyperbloom
Furina
Fischl
One of my favorite reactions. Clorinde will continuously deal huge Electro damage while triggering the Hyperbloom reaction. Pair her with Furina for constant Hydro application and healing when you need it, Nahida (or other Dendro), and either another Electro or Hydro character like Fischl or Yelan.
Overload
This will focus on the Overload reaction. If you have an abundance in Pyro and Electro characters, then you can definitely make use of this. Clorinde will be the Main DPS, Bennett will be the heal and buffer, then you can choose between Fischl, Chevreuse, Xiangling, or other Sub-DPS or Support as long as they’re Pyro, Electro, or Geo.
How to Get
Character Event Wish
Travelers can get Clorinde in her limited character banner “Illuminating Lightning.” Her banner features 4-Star characters such as Thoma and Bennett, and the debut of Sethos.
