Noelle Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: DPS

Noelle is a 4-star Geo Claymore character from Mondstadt who excels in the DPS role. Ascending Noelle grants bonus DEF%, complementing a stat priority of DEF%, CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate. For the Geo Main DPS setup, equip Husk of Opulent Dreams (Slumbering Court) with DEF% Sands, Geo DMG Bonus Goblet, and CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG Circlet. Redhorn Stonethresher (CRIT DMG) is the top recommended weapon, while Whiteblind serves as a reliable accessible alternative.

Noelle's Main DPS build relies on her Normal Attacks during Elemental Burst. This build requires Noelle to have all of her constellations unlocked to dish out the most DMG, as well as put most of her scalings towards DEF. Alternatively, you can run Marechaussee Hunter when paired with a support like Furina who can significantly increase Noelle's damage and provide her own.
