Gamescom: Genshin Impact Collei Abilities Artifacts and Team Comp Guide
Collei is the newest four-star character in Genshin Impact, and she's one of only three Dendro characters available in version 3.0. She's a sub DPS who can currently be obtained for free, so every player should be able to get her right now. Here's what you all need to know about how to build Collei, including info on her abilities, best artifacts, weapons, and team comps.
Abilities
Elemental Skill - Floral Brush
- Collei throws out a Floral Ring boomerang that deals Dendro damage to every enemy that it hits, both on the way out and on the way back.
Elemental Burst - Trump-Card Kitty
- Collei throws out a doll named Cuilein-Anbar that looks and functions almost exactly like Amber's Baron Bunny. Cuilein-Anbar will cause an explosion, dealing AoE Dendro damage.
- After the explosion, the doll will dance around inside a newly-created zone to deal more AoE Dendro damage.
Passive Talents
- The Floral Sidewinder Talent activates when a party member causes a Dendro-related reaction (Burning, Quicken, Aggravate, Bloom, Spread, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon) after Collei throws out her Floral Ring boomerang.
- After the reaction, the party member will gain the Sprout effect once the boomerang returns. Sprout causes surrounding enemies to take Dendro damage equal to 40% of Collei's ATK for three seconds. This is considered Elemental Skill damage, and the effect can't be stacked.
- The Languid Wood Talent extends the duration of the Cuilein-Anbar zone by one seconds every time a character inside it triggers a Dendro-related elemental reaction (same as the ones mentioned above). The zone can only be extended by three extra seconds.
Best Artifact Stats
Collei is mainly used to apply Dendro and enable Dendro reactions as a sub DPS and support. She won't be dealing the most damage on your team, but she can make it so that other characters can take out enemies faster, as long as they have good Elemental Mastery. Collei's first passive Talent scales off of her ATK stat, but if you're using her for reactions at lower Constellations, Elemental Mastery is the stat to focus on when building her.
| Artifacts | Suggested Main Stats | Suggested Substats |
|---|---|---|
| Flower | HP | Elemental Mastery, Crit Dmg, Crit Rate, ATK% |
| Feather | ATK | Elemental Mastery, Crit Dmg, Crit Rate, ATK% |
| Sands | Elemental Mastery or ATK% | Crit Dmg, Crit Rate, ATK%/Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge |
| Goblet | Dendro Dmg | Elemental Mastery, Crit Dmg, Crit Rate, ATK% |
| Circlet | Crit Dmg or Crit Rate | Elemental Mastery, Crit Dmg/Crit Rate, ATK%, Energy Recharge |
Collei can be built similarly to Tighnari since her main goal is to use her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, then leave the field until more Dendro is required. Her first Constellation even gives her 20% more Energy Recharge when she's not on the field, and she never needs to use normal or charged attacks, as those will only waste time when rotating characters.
