Chiori

The Thundering Seamstress

RolesSub DPS
Release4.5

Fontaine's most sought-after designer, originally from Inazuma, Chiori is an off-field Geo damage dealer. Her Skill summons the automaton doll Tamoto, which keeps slashing enemies based on both her ATK and DEF, and a second doll appears whenever a Geo Construct is nearby. Lunar-Crystallize Moondrifts count as Geo Constructs, which gives her a strong place in 7.1 Lunar-Crystallize teams on top of her classic Geo teams.

A DEF% goblet is fine if its substats are much better than your Geo DMG goblet. Leveling her to 90 matters as much as her Skill level.

Teams

Recommended teams

Lunar-Crystallize

Chiori
Zibai
Columbina
Linnea

Her best team in 7.1: Moondrifts count as Geo Constructs and summon her second doll, Linnea and Zibai deal Lunar-Crystallize damage, and Chiori adds off-field Geo damage and application.

Mono-Geo Itto

Arataki Itto
Chiori
Gorou
Zhongli

Classic DEF team: Gorou buffs DEF and Geo DMG, Zhongli's stele gives her the second Tamoto.

Navia Crystallize

Navia
Chiori
Fischl
Bennett

Chiori adds Geo application and damage for Navia's Crystallize shards; C1 recommended since Navia creates no construct.

Guide

How to play

How she works

  • Fluttering Hasode (Skill) dashes forward, summons Tamoto and ends with an upward sweep. Tamoto slashes nearby enemies every 3.6s for 17s, scaling on ATK and DEF.
  • If a Geo Construct is nearby (Zhongli's stele, Itto's Ushi, a Lunar-Crystallize Moondrift…) or is created while Tamoto is out, a second Tamoto appears next to the active character. At C1, any other Geo teammate guarantees the second doll.
  • Tailor-Made: right after the sweep, pressing the Skill again triggers Tapestry (swaps to the next character and grants Seize the Moment, 2 extra doll strikes when the active character hits). Pressing Normal Attack triggers Tailoring (Geo infusion for 5s), mostly useful at C6.
  • The Finishing Touch: +20% Geo DMG Bonus for 20s when a party member creates a Geo Construct.
  • Hiyoku: Twin Blades (Burst) is a single big hit. Only use it every rotation if your Energy allows it.

Rotation

  1. Place your Geo Construct first (Zhongli E, Itto E) or start the Lunar-Crystallize chain.
  2. E with Chiori, then E again right after the sweep for Tapestry: you swap instantly.
  3. Q only if she has Energy, then play your main DPS while the dolls work.

Tamoto does not snapshot: buffs applied after the summon still count.

Strengths

  • Strong off-field Geo damage with very short field time
  • Scales on both ATK and DEF, so she is forgiving to build
  • Fits Geo, Lunar-Crystallize and many flex teams thanks to Moondrifts and Geo Constructs
  • Available in the 7.1 anniversary limited selector

Weaknesses

  • Loses a lot of damage without a Geo Construct or a second Geo unit at C0
  • Her Burst is expensive for a single hit
  • Offers no buffs, healing or shields to the team

Notable dupes · Constellation

C1
Big upgrade

Bigger Tamoto AoE and a guaranteed second doll with any other Geo teammate: the best value constellation.

C2
Solid upgrade

Her Burst summons a Kinu doll every 3s for 10s: a sizable damage increase.

C6
Solid upgrade

-12s Skill cooldown and DEF-scaling Normal Attacks: turns her into an on-field DPS.
