Clorinde
Candlebearer, Shadowhunter
The Champion Duelist of Fontaine is a fast, flexible on-field Electro carry who alternates pistol shots and sword lunges while juggling her Bond of Life. She fits Aggravate, Overloaded and Lunar-Charged teams alike. She is also one of the six picks of the 7.1 anniversary limited character selector (finish the 7.1 Archon Quests before 2026-11-03).

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- CRIT Rate 70–80% in combat (her A4 adds up to 20%), CRIT DMG 160%+
- ATK 1,800–2,000+
- Energy Recharge 110–130% bursting every other combo as the only Electro unit (120–140% with a second Electro unit to Burst every combo)
- EM sands only in Aggravate teams
Talent priority
Almost all her damage comes from her Skill (Swift Hunt and Impale the Night count as Normal Attack DMG but scale with the Skill talent): her Normal Attack talent can stay low.
Recommended teams
Aggravate
Her most consistent team: Nahida keeps Quicken up, Fischl adds Electro and Aggravate procs, and Kazuha shreds Electro RES and buffs DMG.
Overloaded
Chevreuse shreds Pyro and Electro RES and buffs ATK, Nicole adds a shield and more ATK, and Overloaded procs keep her A1 at full stacks.
How to play
How she works
- Hunter's Vigil (Skill) puts her in Night Vigil: her Normal Attacks become Swift Hunt pistol shots (Electro DMG that cannot be overridden) and pressing Skill again performs Impale the Night, a lunge. Everything counts as Normal Attack DMG.
- Below 100% Bond of Life, pistol shots pierce and grant Bond of Life; Impale the Night then heals her based on it. At 100% or more, her Skill becomes Impale the Night: Pact, the strongest lunge. Other healing is converted into Bond of Life during Night Vigil.
- Dark-Shattering Flame (A1): each Electro-related reaction by the party adds 20% of her ATK to her Normal Attacks and Burst for 15s (3 stacks, up to 1,800). Aggravate, Overloaded and Lunar-Charged all count.
- Lawful Remuneration (A4): at 100%+ Bond of Life, each change to it grants +10% CRIT Rate (2 stacks).
- Last Lightfall (Burst) grants her a Bond of Life and deals AoE Electro DMG.
Rotation
- Set up your supports (Fischl, Nahida, Chevreuse, Columbina…).
- Clorinde E, then repeat N3 + E until Night Vigil ends; use Q when it is ready.
- Swap out: leaving the field ends Night Vigil.
Keep an eye on her Bond of Life: build it with shots, then spend it with Impale the Night: Pact for the big hits.
Strengths
- Flexible: works in Aggravate, Overloaded and Lunar-Charged teams
- Fast, satisfying gameplay with self-healing
- Her damage cannot be overridden by infusions
- Can be claimed for free with the 7.1 anniversary limited selector
Weaknesses
- Low interruption resistance before C2
- Healers are less effective on her during Night Vigil
- No longer among the very top carries of the 7.1 meta
- Energy-hungry Burst when she is the only Electro unit
