Chiori, the 5-Star Geo sword-wielder, was introduced in Genshin Impact during version 4.5, and ever since, players have been eagerly preparing for her reappearance. Her unique abilities, centered around Geo Constructs and her versatile playstyle, make her a solid addition to any team. Whether you’re planning to use her as a sub-DPS or a support character, there’s a lot to get excited about.

In this guide, I’ll break down everything you need to know about Chiori: her ascension materials, talent materials, constellation abilities, and a closer look at her kit. Ready to level her up to her full potential? Let’s dive in!

Chiori’s Playstyle and Kit

Chiori’s playstyle revolves around a mix of damage and utility, especially when paired with other Geo characters. Her ability to summon Geo Constructs, and interact with them, gives her a unique role in the team. While she’s great as a sub-DPS, you can also use her to support your main damage dealer through Geo-infused abilities.

Here’s a quick breakdown of Chiori’s kit:

  • Element: Geo
  • Weapon: Sword
  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Role: Sub DPS (with potential for support)

Normal Attack: Weaving Blade

Chiori’s normal attack chain delivers up to four rapid sword strikes. If you hold the button for a charged attack, she unleashes two powerful sword strikes. Her plunging attack lets her leap down from mid-air, dealing AOE Geo damage to enemies in her path.

Elemental Skill: Fluttering Hasode

This is where things get interesting! When you use Fluttering Hasode, Chiori dashes forward, slashing enemies and summoning her trusty automaton, Tamoto. This little doll isn’t just for show—Tamoto slashes nearby enemies at intervals, dealing AOE Geo damage.

The damage is based on both Chiori’s ATK and DEF, so building her defensively can really pay off. If there are Geo Constructs nearby, Tamoto becomes even more powerful, as additional automatons can be summoned to assist in the battle.

You can also hold the skill to adjust the direction of her dash, giving you more control during combat.

Elemental Burst: Hiyoku: Twin Blades

Chiori unsheathes her twin blades for a dazzling display of Geo-infused slashes. These deal AOE Geo damage based on both her attack and defense, making her burst extremely versatile for dishing out damage while keeping her durability intact.

Passive Talents:

  • Tailor-Made: Depending on your next action after using Fluttering Hasode, Chiori gains either the Tailoring or Tapestry effect. Tailoring grants Chiori a five-second Geo infusion, while Tapestry allows your active character to benefit from coordinated attacks for eight seconds. This layered effect makes Chiori flexible, supporting different playstyles.
  • The Finishing Touch: When any nearby party member creates a Geo Construct, Chiori gets a 20% Geo DMG bonus for 20 seconds. This passive makes her a dream pick for Geo-heavy teams.
  • Brocaded Collar’s Beauteous Silhouette: Here’s a fun one! When any party member wears an outfit that isn’t their default or uses a different wind glider, all party members get a 10% movement speed boost. It doesn’t work in Domains or Spiral Abyss, but it’s a handy exploration bonus nonetheless.

Chiori’s Ascension Materials

If you’re planning on bringing Chiori to her max potential, you’ll need to farm a variety of materials to ascend her. The bulk of her requirements revolve around Spectral materials and Dendrobium, so you might want to start gathering those early.

Here’s what you’ll need to fully ascend Chiori:

  • Prithiva Topaz: This Geo-specific gem will be a staple across all ascension levels.
    • x1 Prithiva Topaz Sliver
    • x9 Prithiva Topaz Fragment
    • x9 Prithiva Topaz Chunk
    • x6 Prithiva Topaz Gemstone
  • Dendrobium: This Inazuma-based flower is another key ingredient.
    • x168 Dendrobium
  • Spectral Materials: Chiori requires Spectral Husk, Spectral Heart, and Spectral Nucleus, all of which can be farmed from Specter enemies.
    • x18 Spectral Husk
    • x30 Spectral Heart
    • x36 Spectral Nucleus
  • Artificed Spare Clockwork Component — Coppelia: This rare drop from the Coppelia boss fight is needed in significant quantities.
    • x46 Artificed Spare Clockwork Component — Coppelia
  • Mora: A whopping 420,000 Mora is necessary to get Chiori to her full potential.

Chiori’s Talent Materials

To max out Chiori’s skills, you’ll need to invest in Spectral and Light materials. Keep in mind, each talent requires these materials individually, so you’ll be farming a lot of Specters if you want to max out all three.

Here’s what you’ll need per talent:

  • Teachings/Guide/Philosophies of Light
    • x3 Teachings of Light
    • x21 Guide to Light
    • x38 Philosophies of Light
  • Spectral Materials
    • x6 Spectral Husk
    • x22 Spectral Heart
    • x31 Spectral Nucleus
  • Lightless Silk String: A rare drop that’s also crucial for her final talent upgrades.
    • x6 Lightless Silk String
  • Crown of Insight: This rare item is necessary for maxing out talents at level 10.
    • x1 Crown of Insight per talent
  • Total Mora: About 1.65 million Mora per talent, for a total of 4.95 million if you want to max out all three.

Chiori’s Constellations

Like all characters in Genshin Impact, Chiori’s abilities are further enhanced through her constellations. Unlocking these requires pulling duplicates of her from banners. Let’s take a closer look at each one:

  • C1: Six Paths of Sage Silkcraft
    Increases Tamoto’s AOE by 50%. Additionally, Fluttering Hasode triggers another Tamoto if there’s a Geo character in the party. Great for Geo-heavy teams!
  • C2: In Five Colors Dyed
    Summons a simplified automaton, Kinu, next to your active character every three seconds for 10 seconds after using Chiori’s Elemental Burst. Kinu deals 170% of Tamoto’s damage and can only attack once before disappearing.
  • C3: Four Brocade Embellishments
    Increases the level of her Elemental Skill by three.
  • C4: A Tailor’s Three Courtesies
    Chiori’s normal, charged, or plunging attacks can summon up to three Kinu dolls during Seize the Moment.
  • C5: Two Silken Plumules
    Boosts the level of her Elemental Burst by three.
  • C6: Sole Principle Pursuit
    When Tailor-Made triggers, the cooldown for Fluttering Hasode decreases by 12 seconds. Additionally, her normal attacks gain a massive 235% damage bonus based on her DEF stat.

Conclusion

Chiori is a versatile Geo character with a focus on damage, utility, and team synergy. Her complex kit offers different layers of play, depending on your team composition, and her constellations only make her more powerful. Whether you’re pulling for her during her banner or just starting to gather materials, you’re in for a treat with this tailor-themed warrior!
