Geo
Claymore
Noelle
Chivalric Blossom
The Knights of Favonius' most devoted maid is a self-sufficient Geo main DPS: her Burst converts DEF into ATK, and her shield heals the whole party while she swings. She has found a new home in Lunar-Crystallize teams, where every Geo hit of her Burst feeds Moondrifts, and she benefits from Hexerei supports like Durin and Nicole.

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- DEF 2,500–3,000+ at C6 (3,600 DEF maxes her Moonsign Lunar buff)
- CRIT Rate 60–70%
- CRIT DMG 150%+
- Energy Recharge: 115–135% with Xilonen or the Geo Traveler, 165–185% with Linnea or Illuga, 200%+ with no other Geo teammate
Talent priority
Reach her Energy Recharge target first, then CRIT. Before C6 (and with a Burst below level 10), use an ATK% sands and prioritize ATK% over DEF%. From C6 onwards (or with a level 10+ Burst), DEF% sands and DEF% or Geo DMG goblets become best. Level her Skill last: it only improves her shield and healing.
Recommended teams
Lunar-Crystallize
Linnea converts Hydro Crystallize into Lunar-Crystallize and shreds Geo RES, Columbina supplies Hydro, and Noelle's Geo hits trigger Moondrifts constantly.
Hexerei-supported Noelle
Durin and Nicole activate Secret Rite (great with Gest of the Mighty Wolf); Nicole's buff covers almost her entire rotation, Durin shreds Geo RES.
How to play
How she works
- Breastplate (Skill) deals Geo DMG and creates a DEF-scaling shield with 150% absorption efficiency; while it holds, her Normal and Charged Attacks can heal the whole party. Nice and Clean reduces its cooldown by 1s every 4 hits.
- Sweeping Time (Burst, 60 Energy) gives her a larger attack range, an un-overridable Geo infusion and bonus ATK based on her DEF (+50% of her DEF more at C6). The Burst state keeps running if you swap out.
- Devotion: off-field, she shields the active character when they drop below 30% HP (once every 60s).
- In Lunar-Crystallize teams (Linnea, Columbina…), her constant Geo application triggers many Moondrifts, and with Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam her Skill and Burst raise the party's Lunar reaction DMG by 1% per 100 DEF (up to 36%).
Rotation
- Set up your supports (Linnea and Columbina, or Durin, Nicole and Xilonen).
- Swap to Noelle, E, then Q right away (avoid Normal Attacks before the Burst with Whiteblind so stacks are not wasted).
- Chain full four-hit Normal Attack combos and recast E whenever it comes back.
- At C6, kills extend the Burst by up to 10s, so you can keep swinging longer.
In Lunar-Crystallize teams, Elemental Mastery is almost worthless on her: stick to DEF, CRIT and Geo DMG.
Strengths
- Self-sufficient: shield, party healing and damage in one character
- Very comfortable and interruption-proof to play
- Constant Geo application, ideal for Lunar-Crystallize
- A 4-star most players already own at C6
Weaknesses
- Much stronger at C6, which changes her whole build
- Slow claymore swings and long field time
- Her healing depends on RNG before C1
- Outclassed by 5-star Geo and Lunar carries at high investment
Notable dupes · Constellation
100% healing chance while both her Skill and Burst are active: removes the RNG from her sustain.
Her shield explodes for 400% ATK as Geo DMG when it ends or breaks.
+50% of her DEF as extra ATK during her Burst, which is extended by kills: her defining power spike, and the reason for DEF-based builds.
