Release1.0

Albedo's shy assistant is still one of the best supports in Genshin Impact, six years after release. She groups enemies, shreds RES with Viridescent Venerer and shares 20% of her Elemental Mastery with the party, which makes her a top pick for today's Lunar reaction teams. As a Hexerei character she also enables Mona, Fischl, Venti or Razor's Secret Rite bonuses.

R5 is the top pick for ATK-scaling carries (Mavuika, Arlecchino…): +48% ATK to the next character.
On switching, the incoming character gains +24% ATK for 10s (once every 20s at R1, 48% at R5).
Sunny Morning Sleep-In
5★ · Elemental Mastery
The most personal Elemental Mastery, best for EM-scaling teams and on-field driver Sucrose. The 96 EM from Skill hits is not included in her EM share if she casts her Skill only once.
+120 Elemental Mastery after Swirl or Stellar Swirl, +96 after Skill hits and +32 after Burst hits.
A Thousand Floating Dreams
5★ · Elemental Mastery
Lots of EM for her and +40 EM for the party.
Teammates grant +32 Elemental Mastery (same element) or +10% Elemental DMG (other element) each; the party gains +40 Elemental Mastery.
Sacrificial Fragments
4★ · Elemental Mastery
Best 4-star EM option, and its Skill reset gives extra particles.
Elemental Skill hits have a 40% chance to reset the Skill's CD (once every 30s).
Wandering Evenstar
4★ · Elemental Mastery
Good when several teammates deal damage: turns her EM into party ATK.
Every 10s, grants ATK equal to 24% of Elemental Mastery, and 30% of that bonus to the party.
Favonius Codex
4★ · Energy Recharge
When the team is short on Energy or she must Burst every rotation (needs CRIT Rate).
CRIT hits have a 60% chance to generate particles that restore 6 Energy (once every 12s).

Substat priority

Stat targets

  • Elemental Mastery 800+ (the more the better, up to 1,600 for the maximum Moonsign buff)
  • Energy Recharge: no target if you skip her Burst; about 160–180% when you need it (usually every other rotation, given its 20s cooldown and 80 Energy cost)
  • CRIT Rate only with Favonius Codex

Talent priority

Elemental Skill
Elemental Burst
Normal Attack

Talent levels barely matter: her buffs come from passives and her Elemental Mastery. Level her to 90 first, then give her Skill a few levels if you have spare books. An ER% sands is only worth it if she cannot reach her Energy target otherwise.

Guide

How to play

How she works

  • Astable Anemohypostasis Creation - 6308 (Skill) creates a Small Wind Spirit that pulls enemies in and deals Anemo DMG (15s CD).
  • Forbidden Creation - Isomer 75 / Type II (Burst, 80 Energy) creates a Large Wind Spirit for 6s that keeps grouping enemies and absorbs Hydro, Pyro, Cryo or Electro.
  • Catalyst Conversion: Swirls and Stellar Swirls she triggers give +50 EM for 8s to teammates of the swirled element.
  • Mollis Favonius: when her Skill or Burst hits, the rest of the party gains 20% of her Elemental Mastery for 8s.
  • Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam: in a party with two Moonsign characters, casting her Skill or Burst raises the party's Lunar reaction DMG by 2.25% per 100 EM, up to 36% at 1,600 EM.
  • Hexerei (Witch's Homework Of Wonderland Flowers, Lv. 70+): with a second Hexerei character, her Small Wind Spirit gives the party about +5.7% DMG for 15s, and her Large Wind Spirit about +7.1% to Hexerei teammates for 20s.

Rotation

  1. Set up the rest of the team (Hydro/Electro/Pyro/Cryo applier first, so she has something to swirl).
  2. Swap to Sucrose, E (dash-cancel it), add Q when it is available and useful for grouping.
  3. Swap to your carry: the EM share and Viridescent shred last 8s and 10s, so she usually goes right before the main DPS.

With Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers, always make her the last character before your carry so they receive the +48% ATK.

Strengths

  • Huge team-wide Elemental Mastery buff and 40% RES shred with Viridescent Venerer
  • Excellent Lunar support: her EM boosts the whole party's Lunar reaction DMG
  • Complete at C0 with cheap gear, and a free 4-star
  • Hexerei character: enables Mona, Fischl, Venti, Razor and co.

Weaknesses

  • Short 8s buffs: she has to act right before your carry
  • Her Burst knocks enemies around and can absorb the wrong element
  • Very low personal damage
  • Viridescent does nothing when the main damage is Dendro or Geo

Notable dupes · Constellation

C1
Big upgrade

A second Skill charge: more particles, more flexible rotations. Her best constellation.

C2
Optional

+2s on her Burst, occasionally useful for reaction setups.

C4
Optional

Skill CD reduction from Normal Attacks: only matters when she stays on the field.

C6
Optional

+20% DMG for the absorbed element (+8.6% more for Hexerei teammates), but her Burst rarely absorbs your carry's element reliably.
