Clorinde Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: DPS

Clorinde is a 5-star Electro Sword character from Fontaine who excels in the DPS role. Ascending Clorinde grants bonus CRIT Rate, complementing a stat priority of CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge. For the Electro DPS setup, equip Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy (Faded Theater) with ATK% or Elemental Mastery Sands, Electro DMG Bonus Goblet, and CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG Circlet. Absolution (CRIT DMG) is the top recommended weapon, while Finale of the Deep serves as a reliable accessible alternative.

Clorinde's best build is similar to Standard DPS characters despite her Bond of Life mechanics, so focusing on CRIT Stats and ATK for Standard Electro and CRIT and Elemental Mastery for Aggravate should be your goal. The builds between Standard and Aggravate remain the same, with the only difference being your choice in whether your Sands is ATK or Elemental Mastery.
