Genshin Impact: Best Weapons For Clorinde (2024)

Pulling on one of the gacha banners and getting a new character is always exciting in Genshin Impact, especially if you get a five-star one. However, your work only starts there since you now have to figure out the best artifacts, weapons, and stats you should use to get the most out of the character you just got.

Clorinde is a five-star Electro unit released in the Version 4.7 update, and she uses a Sword as her weapon. With years worth of updates, the game has quite a decent variety of Sword choices for this beautiful character.

7 The Black Sword

• Rarity - Four Star
• Secondary Stat - Crit Rate

If you're someone who regularly buys the premium tier of the battle pass in Genshin Impact, the Black Sword is arguably one of the best weapons to get from it. Even at the first Refinement, it gives you a ton of Crit Rate, increases your Normal and Charged Attack DMG, while also healing you at regular intervals.

Unfortunately, the reason for this weapon to be quite low on Clorinde's list is due to its secondary stat. She already gets over 40 percent Crit Rate from her ascensions and passive, and you'll have a much harder time building her artifacts if you use a Crit Rate weapon as well.

6 Iron Sting

• Rarity - Four Star
• Secondary Stat - Elemental Mastery

Iron Sting is one of the few weapons that go along with Clorinde's design, which is also the reason for it to be featured in her trailers. Thankfully, this weapon can also work quite well with her, but it will put a little more pressure on your artifacts due to the lack of any Crit or ATK on the secondary stat and passive.

The weapon gives you up to 24 percent Elemental DMG bonus at refinement five, which is quite massive. Moreover, the Elemental Mastery from the main stat can go up to 165, which will directly help Clorinde deal more damage through reactions like Aggravate.

5 Finale Of The Deep

• Rarity - Four Star
• Secondary Stat - ATK Percent

It's not very common for free four-star weapons that you can simply forge in a certain region to be good on five-star characters, but Clorinde defies this by having Finale of the Deep as one of her best weapons. The ATK Percent from this weapon already helps her quite a lot since her base ATK is fairly low.

However, the main part of this weapon is its passive, which provides Clorinde with a Bond of Life worth 25 percent of her max HP after using the Skill. This can help you deal a lot more damage while also consistently increasing your ATK since she clears her Bond of Life often.

4 Blackcliff Longsword

• Rarity - Four Star
• Secondary Stat - Crit DMG

Crit DMG is one of the most sought-after and the best stat you can get while building Clorinde, and the Blackcliff Longsword can give you up to 36.8 percent just by being upgraded. The best part about this weapon is that you can essentially get it for free by using the currency you get for duplicates of four-star and five-star.

Clorinde is best used against a horde of smaller enemies that get defeated quickly, and that's also where this weapon will help you out. Whenever you defeat an enemy, Clorinde's ATK is increased by 12 percent at refinement one, which can stack up to a whopping three times.

3 Light Of Foliar Incision

• Rarity - Five Star
• Secondary Stat - Crit DMG

Diving into the five-star territory, let's start with the best part about using Light of Foliar Incision on Clorinde. This weapon gives you a massive 88.2 percent Crit DMG at level 90 by itself. To put it in perspective, even a Circlet with the main stat as Crit DMG gives you over 20 percent less than this.

This already makes the weapon good enough to use on Clorinde, but you can also get some normal attack DMG bonus based on your Elemental Mastery. Of course, you'll have to build as much EM as possible with this weapon, but that's one of the important stats for Clorinde anyway.

2 Mistsplitter Reforged

• Rarity - Five Star
• Secondary Stat - Crit DMG

Mistsplitter Reforged is Ayaka's signature weapon, but it's also the second-best weapon you can use on Clorinde. Being a five-star weapon, it has a high base ATK of 674, which is already quite massive. But other than that, you can also get up to 44.1 percent Crit DMG from it at level 90.

With the passive, this weapon can give you up to 40 percent Elemental DMG Bonus as long as you fulfill certain conditions. Thankfully, these conditions are easy to fill with Clorinde since she gets her Burst back quickly and you'd want to use it instantly.

1 Absolution

• Rarity - Five Star
• Secondary Stat - Crit DMG

Finally, to no one's surprise, Clorinde's signature weapon gives her the most value, and it looks beautiful on her while doing it. Absolution is a limited weapon that you can only pull when Clorinde is also featured, and it gives you similar stats as Mistsplitter Reforged upon being fully upgraded.

However, the great part about it is that it gives you an additional 20 percent Crit DMG bonus for free from its passive while also increasing Clorinde's DMG by 16 percent whenever her Bond of Life increases. This can stack up to three times, getting to a total of 48 percent DMG increase.
