Playstyles
Off-Field Geo DPS
Chiori primarily plays as an off-field Geo DPS unit. A huge portion of her damage can be dealt entirely off-field.
Chiori uses her Skill to summon “Tamoto”, a Doll dealing Geo Damage, and then recasts her skill, swapping to the next character in the party (which bypasses Swap Cooldown).
On-Field Geo DPS
Chiori can play as a viable on-field Geo DPS unit in Lunar-Crystallize teams. Chiori doesn’t recast her Skill as an on-fielder; instead, she uses a Normal Attack to gain Geo Infusion and deals damage with a Normal Attack combo. This allows her to benefit from more buffs that she’d normally miss out on as an off-fielder.
At C6, Chiori also becomes a venerable on-field Geo DPS in a variety of team archetypes. Such teams will not be examined in this quick guide.
Talents
Level and Talent Priority
Level 90 = Skill >> Burst
A majority of Chiori’s damage is dealt through her Skill. While she has split scaling between ATK and DEF, her DEF scaling is much better. Level 90 increases her Base DEF, which significantly boosts her personal damage.
Chiori’s Burst usually goes unused, as it doesn’t deal much damage and doesn’t provide any buffs. However, it can be used if there’s clear downtime in the rotation and no other cooldowns are available.
Talent Overview
Normal Attack | Weaving Blade
Talent Description
Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
A rather fancy Normal Attack chain. Since Chiori wants to build DEF, and her Normal Attacks are ATK-Scaling, she usually doesn’t use them outside of being an on-fielder in Lunar Crystallize or C6 teams. Even then, she mainly uses them to apply Geo rather than to deal Talent damage.
Elemental Skill | Fluttering Hasode
Talent Description
Dashes nimbly forward with silken steps. Once this dash ends, Chiori will summon the automaton doll “Tamoto” beside her and sweep her blade upward, dealing AoE Geo DMG to nearby opponents based on her ATK and DEF.
Holding the Skill will cause it to behave differently.
Hold
Enter Aiming Mode to adjust the dash direction.
Tamoto
· Will slash at nearby opponents at intervals, dealing AoE Geo DMG based on Chiori’s ATK and DEF.
· While active, if there are nearby Geo Construct(s) or Geo Construct(s) are created nearby, an additional Tamoto will be summoned next to your active character. Only 1 additional Tamoto can be summoned in this manner, and its duration is independently counted.
Chiori has a unique and slightly complex Elemental Skill. After Chiori finishes her Skill’s slash animation, a Tamoto doll appears that deals 5 instances of damage at an interval of 3.6s, with the first instance taking place roughly 0.6s after cast. With a Geo Construct on-field at C0 or with a Geo teammate at C1+, another Tamoto doll appears at the same time, with the second Tamoto hitting 1s after the first one.
Chiori doesn’t generate Geo particles with her initial slash damage; instead, Geo Particles generate on-hit every time the Tamoto doll hits an enemy. Each hit has a 20% chance to generate 2 Geo particles and an 80% chance for 1 Geo particle. Only the first Tamoto doll can generate particles.
It is worth noting these dolls cannot be broken by enemies and only despawn when their 17s duration ends.
Elemental Burst | Hiyoku: Twin Blades
Talent Description
Twin blades leave their sheaths as Chiori slices with the clean cuts of a master tailor, dealing AoE Geo DMG based on her ATK and DEF.
A simple Elemental Burst that deals one instance of Geo damage. Since it doesn’t provide any buffs or doesn’t deal spectacular damage, it’s often skipped.
Ascension 1 Passive | Tailor-Made
Talent Description
Gain different effects depending on the next action you take within a short duration after using Fluttering Hasode‘s upward sweep. If you Press the Elemental Skill, you will trigger the Tapestry effect. If you Press your Normal Attack, the Tailoring effect will be triggered instead.
Tapestry
· Switches to the next character in your roster.
· Grants all your party members “Seize the Moment”: When your active party member’s Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks hit a nearby opponent, “Tamoto” will execute a coordinated attack, dealing 100% of Fluttering Hasode’s upward sweep DMG as AoE Geo DMG at the opponent’s location. DMG dealt this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
· “Seize the Moment” lasts 8s, and 1 of “Tamoto”‘s coordinated attack can be unleashed every 2s. 2 such coordinated attacks can occur per “Seize the Moment” effect duration.
Tailoring
· Chiori gains Geo infusion for 5s.
When on the field, if Chiori does not either Press her Elemental Skill or use a Normal Attack within a short time after using Fluttering Hasode’s upward sweep, the Tailoring effect will be triggered by default.
Chiori’s A1 Passive enables either an off-field or on-field playstyle, the difference being which passive effect you trigger: Tapestry or Tailoring.
Tapestry enables her off-field playstyle. To activate it, you have to cast her Skill again after the initial cast. This automatically swaps you to the next unit in your party. This ability allows the on-field unit to activate coordinated attacks from Chiori’s Tamoto doll (additional instances of damage separate from the Tamoto dolls’ regular attacks) when they deal damage through Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks within the next 8s. Only 2 coordinated attacks can be triggered per Skill use and there is a 2s cooldown between each one.
Tailoring enables her on-field playstyle. It is triggered by performing a Normal Attack with Chiori after casting her Skill, after which Chiori gains Geo Infusion. Tailoring’s value increases significantly with Chiori’s C6.
If neither mode is voluntarily triggered, Tailoring (Geo Infusion) activates by default. Make sure to press Chiori’s Skill twice for Tapestry (party swap and coordinated damage).
Ascension 4 Passive | The Finishing Touch
Talent Description
When a nearby party member creates a Geo Construct, Chiori will gain 20% Geo DMG Bonus for 20s.
A simple 20% Geo DMG Bonus if another party member generates a Geo Construct. With Chiori’s C1, the Geo Construct restriction is lifted, but she still requires a Geo teammate to activate this passive.
Utility Passive | Brocaded Collar’s Beauteous Silhouette
Talent Description
When any party member is wearing an outfit apart from their default outfit, or is wearing a wind glider other than the Wings of First Flight, your party members will obtain the Swift Stride effect: Movement SPD is increased by 10%.
This effect does not take effect in Domains, Trounce Domains, and the Spiral Abyss. Swift Stride does not stack.
Chiori’s Utility Passive increases party Movement SPD by 10% if you have any skin or glider other than the default one on any party member. This effect does not stack with itself and does not work in Domains and Spiral Abyss, so it is only relevant in the overworld.
Constellations
Constellation 1 | Six Paths of Sage Silkcraft
Constellation Description
The AoE of the automaton doll “Tamoto” summoned by Fluttering Hasode is increased by 50%.
Additionally, if there is a Geo party member other than Chiori, Fluttering Hasode will trigger the following after the dash is completed:
• Summon an additional Tamoto. Only one additional Tamoto can exist at the same time, whether summoned by Chiori this way or through the presence of a Geo Construct.
• Triggers the Passive Talent “The Finishing Touch.” This effect requires you to first unlock the Passive Talent “The Finishing Touch.”
Chiori’s C1 increases her Tamoto dolls’ targeting range and causes 2 Tamoto dolls to spawn when Chiori casts her Skill if there is another Geo character on the team. It also causes her Skill to activate her A4 Passive with a Geo teammate, meaning she no longer requires a teammate who creates Geo Constructs to gain her Skill’s full potential. This Constellation doesn’t provide any increases in teams that already have Geo Constructs or trigger Lunar-Crystallize outside of the extra range.
Constellation 2 | In Five Colors Dyed
Constellation Description
For 10s after using Hiyoku: Twin Blades, a simplified automaton doll, “Kinu,” will be summoned next to your active character every 3s. Kinu will attack nearby opponents, dealing AoE Geo DMG equivalent to 170% of Tamoto’s DMG. DMG dealt this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
Kinu will leave the field after 1 attack or after lasting 3s.
Chiori’s C2 introduces a new doll type: Kinu. After using her Burst, Chiori summons a Kinu doll every 3s that attacks once then leaves the field (3 Kinu hits overall). Kinu deals 170% of Tamoto’s damage, which means it scales with Chiori’s Skill Talent level.
Constellation 3 | Four Brocade Embellishments
Constellation Description
Increases the Level of Fluttering Hasode by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
An increase to Chiori’s most important talent. Brings a good damage increase across all her teams.
Constellation 4 | A Tailor’s Three Courtesies
Constellation Description
For 8s after triggering either follow-up effect of the Passive Talent “Tailor-Made,” when your current active character’s Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks hit a nearby opponent, a simplified automaton doll, “Kinu,” will be summoned near this opponent. You can summon 1 Kinu every 1s in this way, and up to 3 Kinu may be summoned this way during each instance of “Tailor-Made”‘s Seize the Moment or Tailoring effect. The above effect can be triggered up to once every 15s.
Must unlock the Passive Talent “Tailor-Made” first.
Chiori’s C4 lets her summon another set of Kinu dolls. The on-field character can summon one when they hit an enemy with a Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attack. Only 3 Kinu can be summoned per rotation and each one disappears after hitting an enemy. There is also a 1s summon cooldown.
Constellation 5 | Two Silken Plumules
Constellation Description
Increases the Level of Hiyoku: Twin Blades by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Increases Chiori’s Burst Talent level. A negligible damage increase.
Constellation 6 | Sole Principle Pursuit
Constellation Description
After triggering a follow-up effect of the Passive Talent “Tailor-Made,” Chiori’s own Fluttering Hasode’s CD is decreased by 12s. Must unlock the Passive “Tailor-Made” first.
In addition, the DMG dealt by Chiori’s own Normal Attacks is increased by an amount equal to 235% of her own DEF.
Chiori’s last Constellation turns her into a very potent on-field DPS. After triggering the “Tailoring” from her A1 Passive, her Normal and Charged Attacks gain additional Talent Multipliers based on her DEF. Triggering the effect also reduces her Skill cooldown to 4s, allowing for 100% uptime on her Geo Infusion. A very powerful Constellation.

| EN1 | This combo activates Geo Infusion instead of switching to the next character. |
| N1C | Chiori’s preferred on-field combo pre-C6 is N1C, as it provides the greatest motion value. Chiori’s Charged Attacks cost 20 Stamina, which makes them perfect for this playstyle. |
| N2D/N3D/N4D | Filler combos in between N1C strings. Use Normal Attacks between N1C combos when Chiori is low on Stamina or if Chiori is C6. |
Artifacts
ER Requirements
It is not worth investing in ER% substats to meet Chiori’s ER requirements to use her Burst every rotation, so use it when available instead. If you still want to see her Burst in action every rotation, the ER requirements below provide estimates based on teammate Geo particle generation.
Assumptions:
- Default enemy HP particles.
- Safe particle RNG.
- 18–24s rotations.
- 8–9 non-Geo particles per rotation from other teammates.
- No teammates hold Favonius by default. 1 teammate Favonius proc reduces Chiori’s ER requirements by 5–15% based on her original ER requirement.
| Teammate Geo Particles | Example Scenario | ER Requirement |
| 0 | Noelle | 260–290% |
| 3 | Zhongli — 50% Hits | 200–220% |
| 6 | Navia — 2 Skills | 170–190% |
| 8 | Xilonen — 2 Skills | 150–170% |
| 10–12 | Itto + Gorou + Zhongli | 120–150% |
| 10 (On-Field) | Linnea + Illuga | 110–130% |
Use the Energy Recharge Calculator to determine exact requirements for your team and rotation. For more details on how Favonius weapons will affect your team, please use Ac1d’s Favonius Mastersheet.
Artifact Stats
 Sands |  Goblet |  Circlet |
| DEF% | DEF% or Geo DMG Bonus | CRIT |
Stat Priority: CRIT > DEF% > ATK%
Chiori scales better with DEF stats than with ATK stats. Chiori’s Burst isn’t used every rotation in most cases, so ER is generally unnecessary. While DEF% Goblets can be ideal, DEF% Circlets are not recommended.
Either a DEF% or Geo DMG Bonus Goblet can be optimal depending on the team, available buffs, and Chiori’s weapon. KQM recommends using Genshin Optimizer to compare your actual artifacts.
Artifact Sets
Hover over artifact images for more information.
 4pc Golden Troupe (GT) | 4pc GT is Chiori’s default set for off-field playstyle. Its sizable Elemental Skill DMG% buffs her Skill, A1 Passive, and the Kinu dolls from her C2 and C4. It is not recommended for her on-field playstyles, as the 4pc buff disappears after 2s of being on-field. |
 4pc Husk of Opulent Dreams (Husk) | 4pc Husk is only slightly worse than 4pc GT for off-field Chiori. It performs on par with 4pc NotSU for on-field Chiori in Lunar teams and is the go-to set for C6 on-field Chiori. |
 4pc Night of the Sky’s Unveiling (NotSU) | 4pc NotSU is roughly on par with 4pc Husk for on-field Chiori in Lunar Crystallize. Its 30% CRIT Rate 4pc effect in Ascendant Gleam is very potent, but it causes issues with overcapping on CRIT Rate with weapons such as Harbinger of Dawn or Primordial Jade Cutter. |
 4pc Silken Moon Serenade (SMS) | 4pc SMS is a viable set in Lunar-Crystallize teams if Chiori’s personal damage is not as important. Provides a teamwide EM and Lunar DMG% buff. |
Weapons
Hover over weapon images for more information.
 5★ Uraku Misugiri | Uraku Misugiri is Chiori’s best-in-slot for personal damage. Its DMG% passive is trivial to activate and has full uptime. The CRIT DMG secondary state makes the weapon easy to build around, without issues with overcapping on CRIT Rate. |
 5★ Peak Patrol Song | While slightly worse for Chiori’s personal damage than Uraku Misugiri, Peak Patrol Song often ends up being better for team damage, yielding better performance overall. If Chiori does not on-field in Lunar-Crystallize teams, this weapon requires that Chiori perform 2 Normal Attacks before casting her Skill. |
 5★ Primordial Jade Cutter | Primordial Jade Cutter is a great option for Chiori’s personal damage if she’s off-field. If she’s on-fielding in Lunar-Crystallize teams while holding 4pc NotSU, its 44% CRIT Rate secondary stat makes it worse than most other options. |
 5★ Lightbearing Moonshard | Lightbearing Moonshard is a pretty good 5-star CRIT stick with a bit of DEF% from its passive. It’s a solid pick for both on-field and off-field Chiori. Its value is slightly higher in Lunar-Crystallize teams for its passive buff. |
 5★ Light of Foliar Incision | Light of Foliar Incision is a 5-star CRIT stat stick that only performs slightly better than 4-star options or Harbinger of Dawn. |
 3★ Harbinger of Dawn | Harbinger of Dawn is a good 3-star weapon for off-field Chiori. Its passive is easy to maintain, since she spends the majority of her time off-field. It is pretty underwhelming for an on-field playstyle, due to the CRIT Rate passive making it easy to overcap with certain artifacts (4pc NoTSU) or teammates (C6 Illuga’s CRIT Rate buff). |
  4★ Cinnabar Spindle, Flute of Ezpitzal | Cinnabar Spindle and Flute of Ezpitzal perform very similarly. Their off-field performance is often comparable, with the differences coming down to artifact quality or teamwide buffs. Cinnabar Spindle performance is only a tiny bit worse at C1 Chiori or in teams with Geo Constructs (since its passive has a cooldown and doesn’t buff the 2nd Tamoto doll), but they still perform similarly. |
 4★ Wolf-Fang | At R1, Wolf-Fang is either close to or slightly worse than other 4-star options for off-field Chiori. |
 5★ Exaiphanes Blade | Not recommended. Worse than the aforementioned options. |

Teambuilding
- At C1, Chiori appreciates another Geo character to enable Geo Resonance, to enable 2 Tamoto dolls and activate her A4 Passive. At C0, she prefers teammates who create Geo Constructs or enable Lunar-Crystallize.
- You should use Chiori’s Skill teammate swap mechanic, so make sure your party is in the correct order. For example, if you want to swap to Zibai after using Chiori and Chiori is in slot 3, Zibai should be in slot 4.
The teams in this quick guide assume Chiori has unlocked her C1 because a Chiori Constellation is freely obtainable through “To Temper Thyself and Journey Far”.
Off-Field Geo DPS Teams
Chiori is best paired with another Geo character to enable 2 Tamoto dolls and enable her A4 Passive at C1. On-field Geo DPS units appreciate Chiori enabling Geo Resonance and consistent personal damage. Chiori’s Geo particle generation is subpar but still appreciated. Flex teammates ideally buff the on-field Geo DPS, Chiori, or deal strong personal damage themselves.
Notable Teammates
Chiori appreciates at least one additional Geo teammate to enable Geo Resonance and her full kit.
 Geo Teammates | Chiori appreciates a Geo teammate to enable 2 Tamoto dolls on the field and to activate her A4 Passive buff. • Geo Construct: Albedo, Geo Traveler, Kachina, Ningguang, Zhongli • Lunar-Crystallize: Linnea, Zibai • Other Geo: Gorou, Illuga, Navia, Noelle, Xilonen, Yun Jin |
On-Field Geo
Chiori synergizes well with on-field Geo DPS units who appreciate her enabling Geo Resonance, generating Geo particles, and dealing respectable off-field damage.
Off-Field Geo
These Geo units provide buffs or personal damage that Chiori and her teammates appreciate.
 Xilonen | As an off-field support, Xilonen is not recommended until C2 in teams with a Geo DPS unit and Chiori. Her A1 Passive cannot activate with 3 Geo characters if she is C0–C1. At C2, Xilonen becomes an ideal teammate in this archetype thanks to her Geo RES Shred and DMG% buff with 4pc Scroll. Xilonen with just Chiori and two other PHEC (Pyro, Hydro, Electro, Cryo) units works just fine, and these two Geo units form a flexible team core. |
Flex
These characters provide strong buffs, grant defensive utility, or deal good personal damage.
 Columbina | Columbina enables Lunar-Crystallize, which many Geo DPS units appreciate for its additional damage. She also deals strong damage herself. |
 Durin | Durin is a strong off-field Pyro supporter in his White Form who has unique access to Geo RES Shred. He prefers another Hexerei teammate to enable his full kit. |
 Bennett | Bennett provides a massive ATK buff to the on-field character within his Burst AoE. His C6 Pyro Infusion overrides Chiori’s Geo Infusion if she plays on-field. |
Example Teams
This is not a comprehensive list of teams. The inclusion or exclusion of any given team does not necessarily reflect its power level.
Chiori is a competitive slot for a Zibai–Columbina team if only one of Linnea or Illuga are available. Chiori deals strong off-field damage in either version.
Sample Rotation (Linnea)
Columbina E (Q)¹ > Chiori 2[E] > Linnea E > Zibai combo
Sample Rotation (Illuga)
Columbina E (Q)¹ > Chiori 2[E] > Illuga Q E > Zibai combo
¹Use Burst if available.
Chiori provides reliable off-field damage for Navia in a variety of teams. These are just two such examples that synergize well with Chiori due to the short rotations she enables. Fischl wields Sacrificial Bow to allow herself to snapshot Nicole’s buffs as well as trigger her own Overload buff via the Hexerei Passive (Fischl’s Burst cannot do either here).
Sample Rotation (Fischl)
Chiori 2[E] > Nicole EQ > Fischl E N11 > Navia Q 2[E combo]
Sample Rotation (Mona)
Nicole E > Chiori 2[E] > Navia Q > Mona N12 Q N1 E N1 > Navia 2[E combo]
¹Use Burst if available.
Chiori is a good off-field Geo teammate for Noelle due to her good damage output and decent Geo particle generation. Columbina enables Lunar-Crystallize and deals strong personal damage.
Sample Rotation
Columba E (Q)¹ > Furina ED Q > Chiori 2[E] > Noelle combo
¹Use Burst if available.
Ningguang appreciates Chiori’s short Skill cooldown and solid off-field Geo damage. Nicole provides a shield for easy Geo Resonance uptime along with her teamwide ATK buff. Nicole can skip her Burst entirely or use it when available without much change in team DPS.
Sample Rotation (Fischl)
Nicole E(Q)¹ > Chiori 2[E] > Fischl E / Q > Ningguang combo
Sample Rotation (Durin)
Nicole (Q)¹ E > Durin EQE > Chiori 2[E] > Ningguang combo
¹Can use Burst if available.
C6 Geo Traveler is actually a very solid Geo DPS thanks to their accumulated stat increases and ability to maximize Exaiphanes Blade. Placing Zhongli and Traveler’s constructs properly may take some practice against certain enemies. Columbina drives on-field for additional Hydro application.
Sample Rotation (Fischl)
Zhongli hED > Columbina E (Q)¹ > Traveler QD shE > Chiori (Q)¹ 2[E] > Columbina combo > Traveler shED > Columbina combo
¹Use Burst if available.
Limited Roster Alternatives
These teams are meant for newer players whose limited roster prevents them from using the teams above; as such, the teams below result in lower damage output.
This is a more free-to-play Geo Traveler team with Hexerei off-fielders. Mona drives on-field as needed because there is nothing else to do! The other 2 team slots are quite flexible with Geo Traveler and Chiori, so feel free to use whoever you have available that provides off-field DPS or ATK-scaling buffs.
Sample Rotation
Chiori 2[E] > Mona Q N1 E N1 > Fischl E / Q > Traveler shE Q > Chiori (Q)¹ > Traveler / Mona combo > Traveler shED N1C
¹Use Burst if available.
On-Field Lunar-Crystallize Teams
Chiori can act as an on-field Geo DPS unit herself thanks to her Skill’s Geo Infusion. She is a viable on-fielder for Lunar-Crystallize teams, but requires Linnea or Columbina to enable the reaction.
Chiori’s on-field DPS playstyle becomes substantially more powerful at C6 in a variety of archetypes, but Lunar-Crystallize is the preferred team archetype before C6. Her C6 on-field teams will not be examined in this quick guide.
Notable Teammates
Geo
 Linnea | Linnea’s respectable damage output with her Skill, enemy Geo RES Shred, Lunar-Crystallize buff, and healing make her a core teammate for on-field Chiori’s Lunar-Crystallize teams. Linnea’s Burst provides healing that can stack Furina’s Fanfare; while it deals no damage, it does refresh Lumi’s active duration or deploy them if they were not on the field already. Linnea can employ Super Mode, Ultimate Mode, or a hybrid of the two. |
Hydro
Columbina | Columbina is a powerful off-field damage dealer in on-field Chiori’s Lunar-Charged teams, dealing direct Lunar-Crystallize damage through her Skill’s Gravity Interference mechanic. Her Burst provides Lunar DMG Bonus, but it is typically used every other rotation to minimize Columbina’s ER requirement. |
Example Teams
This is not a comprehensive list of teams. The inclusion or exclusion of any given team does not necessarily reflect its power level.
This on-field Chiori team employs Illuga for his Lunar-Crystallize and Geo buffs. Columbina is the preferred Hydro slot, but Aino is a fine free-to-play Hydro option for Hydro application and 4pc SMS. Linnea can employ Super Mode, Ultimate Mode, or a hybrid of the two.
Sample Rotation (Columbina)
Linnea¹ E / 5[E] > Columbina EQ > Illuga Q E > Chiori E N1 combo
Sample Rotation (Aino)
Linnea¹ E / 5[E] > Aino EQ > Illuga Q E > Chiori E N1 combo
¹E for Super Mode and 5[E] for Ultimate Mode.
Chiori can team up with Furina in Lunar-Crystallize teams to enhance her personal Geo damage. Linnea’s Burst helps stack Furina’s Fanfare. Again, Aino is a fine free-to-play option if Columbina is unavailable.
Sample Rotation (Columbina)
Furina ED Q > Linnea¹ Q E / 5[E] > Columbina EQ > Chiori E N1 combo
Sample Rotation (Aino)
Furina ED Q > Linnea¹ Q E / 5[E] > Aino EQ > Chiori E N1 combo
¹E for Super Mode and 5[E] for Ultimate Mode.
Flex Teams
Chiori can flex into any team that appreciates her off-field Geo damage, can withstand her periodic Geo application, and run a 16s+ rotation. While a second Geo character maximizes Chiori’s kit and enables Geo Resonance, it is not a strict requirement. Xilonen is often the best Geo teammate if she is available, provided she is C2+ or the other teammates are both PHEC.
Notable Teammates
Geo
These Geo teammates provide great support or off-field damage that complements Chiori. They should also provide buffs or other utility to the on-field damage dealer.
Xilonen | Xilonen is Chiori’s ideal support teammate as she shreds Geo RES with her A1 Passive and buffs Geo damage with 4pc Scroll. For PHEC teammates, Xilonen also provides the aforementioned buffs to their Element, provided there are two PHEC teammates. |
Flex
Many characters work with Chiori to some degree and can appreciate a Double Geo team archetype.
Example Teams
This is not a comprehensive list of teams. The inclusion or exclusion of any given team does not necessarily reflect its power level.
Chiori applies slow enough Geo application to not take over Mavuika’s established Pyro aura so that Mualani can consistently Vape her Shark Bites. The on-fielder should pick up Crystallize shards as needed to maintain Geo Resonance.
Sample Rotation
Mualani N1 > Xilonen E N2 > Chiori 2[E] > Mavuika tE Q(D)¹ > Mualani E combo²
¹Pick up the Hydro shard created by Xilonen if holding 4pc Archaic Petra.
²Use Mualani’s Burst if available.
Chiori offers strong off-field damage for Neuvillette. Furina and Vodyanitsa perform roughly the same through their various buffs. The on-fielder should pick up Crystallize shards as needed to maintain Geo Resonance.
Sample Rotation (Furina)
Neuvillette E > Furina ED > Xilonen E Q N2 > Chiori 2[E] > Furina Q > Neuvillette C E C Q > Xilonen E N2 > Neuvillette 2[C]
Sample Rotation (Vodyanitsa)
Neuvillette E > Xilonen E N2 > Chiori 2[E] > Vodyanitsa EQ > Neuvillette C E C Q > Xilonen E N2 > Vodyanitsa E Q > Neuvillette 2[C]
This is a fairly mediocre Clorinde team relative to her Overloaded teams, but it can still be played. This team employs Clorinde’s extended rotation where Sara uses her Burst once for every two times Clorinde uses her Skill combo. The on-fielder should pick up Crystallize shards as needed to maintain Geo Resonance.
Sample Rotation
(Xilonen Q)¹ > Sara E C > Xilonen E N2 > Chiori 2[E] > Sara Q > Clorinde combo > Sara E > Clorinde Q > Xilonen E N2 > Chiori Q 2[E] > Sara C > Clorinde combo
¹If healing is required.
This is a potent Lyney Mono Pyro team. While Albedo is preferred in the last slot to enable Durin and Hexerei buffs, Chiori is still a viable alternative nonetheless. Nicole buffs the whole team and provides a comfortable shield.
Sample Rotation
Nicole Q E > Durin EQE > Chiori 2[E] > Lyney combo
This is a fairly standard Lyney Double Geo team with Zhongli providing a shield and Universal RES Shred. Lyney is confined to Bennett’s Burst AoE which can make gameplay cumbersome against certain enemies. Zhongli can hold 4pc Scroll or 4pc Archaic Petra to maximize Lyney’s Pyro damage.
Sample Rotation
Bennett E > Zhongli hED > Chiori 2[E] > Bennett EQ > Lyney combo
Limited Roster Alternatives
These teams are meant for newer players whose limited roster prevents them from using the teams above; as such, the teams below result in lower damage output.
The team with Fischl has little concern for ER requirements beyond Bennett. Both teams permit Geo Traveler to cast 3 Skills per rotation.
Bennett buffs the on-fielder’s ATK and helps battery Xiangling. Fischl can snapshot Bennett’s buff.
The on-fielder should pick up Crystallize shards as needed to maintain Geo Resonance. In the second team, usually Bennett or Xiangling does this after casting their Skills or while batterying.
Sample Rotation (Fischl)
Chiori 2[E] > Bennett EQ > Traveler shED Q > Fischl N11 E / Q > Traveler N4C shED > Bennett E N22 > Traveler N4C shED N3C
Sample Rotation (Xiangling)
Chiori 2[E] > Bennett QE > Xiangling QE > Traveler shED Q N1C > Bennett E > Xiangling N32 > Traveler shED N1C > Bennett E > Xiangling N42 > Traveler shED
1To ensure Oz snapshot Bennett’s buff.
2To catch Bennett’s Skill particles.
