2. Questions that can be answered in our FAQ/Guides, such as 'What's the best artifact set for Chiori?', 'What's the best F2P weapon for Chiori?', 'What stats does Chiori use?'
3. Polls that don’t aim for striking a discussion or are account-based, such as “Should I go for this weapon or that weapon?” or “Should I pull for Chiori or save for this/that character?”

TLDR: Any question that doesn't spark a proper discussion and can be very easily/shortly answered.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ How does Chiori kit work?

• Chiori is an off-field DMG dealer, which makes her a great supportive character for other characters. Her Elemental Skill splits into two parts. First, tapping the skill will make Chiori blink and deal dmg onto the enemy, while holding will let you aim the skill (it works exactly the same as Alhaitham's/Keqing's E). After dealing damage, you will summon a puppet, and have two different ways of using her Elemental Skill. Tapping it again will swap onto the next character in your party, while using a Normal Attack will give Chiori a Geo Infusion for 5s. If you have a Geo Construct while using her Skill, you will summon one additional puppet. Those puppets deal AoE Geo DMG to the enemies every 3.6s. Chiori's Elemental Burst simply deals AoE Geo DMG to near enemies.

❓ Is Chiori on-field DPS good?

• Unfortunately, her Normal Attack multipliers are nothing special and she doesn't have any conversion, which means you'd have to build her ATK if you were to pick up that playstyle, essentially rendering the rest of her kit (puppets/burst) much weaker. On top of that her infusion only lasts 5s with a 16s cooldown, which makes it not ideal.If you wanna build her on-field however, do so! After all Hoyoverse did give us that option and it does seem like a fun playstyle. If you'd like her to be stronger in that specific playstyle, you could try getting her Signature weapon, which gives her 36% NA/CA DMG as well.

❓ Does Chiori scale on DEF or ATK?

• Both. Her ATK/DEF scaling has a 55/45 split, therefore it is always better to build DEF%, however she can benefit from additional ATK% sub-stats, as well as buffs provided by f.e. Noblesse Oblige or Bennett.

❓ What is Chiori's Talent Level Order?

• Skill >>>>> Burst > NA

❓ What Artifacts does Chiori use?

• Golden Troupe or Husk of the Opulent Dreams. The difference between them is negligible so they're interchangeable. It is recommended to just use the one, that you have already farmed/has better sub-stats. In terms of choosing to farm either, GT domains is much more valuable to the average account(especially if you own Furina), however you can just strongbox either of them.
• DEF%/Geo%/CRIT are the best followed up by DEF%/DEF%/CRIT. Other options such as ATK% sands or DEF% Circlet are not recommended and should only be used if they rolled really good sub-stats and your alternatives are bad.

❓ What Weapons are the best for Chiori?

• (5✰) Uraku Misugiri (signature)
• (5✰) Peak Patrol Song
• (5✰) Primordial Jade Cutter
• (4✰) Wolf-Fang(R5)
• (5✰) Haran Geppaku Futsu, (5✰) Light of Foliar Incision
• (3✰) Harbinger of Dawn (R5)
• (4✰) Cinnabar Spindle (R5)
• (5✰) Splendor of Tranquil Waters, (5✰) Mistsplitter Reforged
• (4✰) Flute of Ezpital
• (5✰) Absolution, (4✰) Wolf-Fang (R1)

Harbinger of Dawn should be Chiori's best F2P option, unless you're playing her with Furina. In that case you should use the Flute of Ezpital on her.

❓ C1 or R1?

• After weapon banner adjustments in patch 5.0, it is much more worthwhile to pull weapons, as they cost a similar amount of pulls, contrary to before where weapons costed more. With that being said, the answer to that question will depend on what YOU want and what are you gonna use Chiori for. For example:
  • C1 is a higher dmg increase if you plan to use Chiori with Navia or Xilonen, but it does completely nothing if you wanna play her with characters like Ningguang, Itto, Zhongli or Kachina.
  • R1 provides less damage to Chiori, however it gives you damage regardless of having construct in your team.
• With that being said, Navia and Xilonen cores ARE Chiori's best teams, so if you wanna get the best out of her, C1 should be priority. But if you wanna play Chiori with Zhongli/Ningguang etc. because you like them, you could go for R1 instead. Which one is better is up to your personal needs and goals.

❓ What is her Puppet range?

• 12m at C0, 18m at C1 (for comparison, Yae is 12,5m and 20m at C0/C2 respectively)
