Guides
A build guide for the first four-star Dendro character in Genshin Impact Collei, who is a powerful bow-user.
Dendro characters are limited in Genshin Impact as the first one didn’t release to version 3.0. Four-star Dendro characters are even more limited, as right now, only Collei exists. If you have seen Dendro in action, then you likely can’t wait to get your hands on a character to slot into your team. Collei is an excellent choice, but like most characters in the game, she won’t perform well unless you build her well and level her talents.
Best Weapons
Collei is a four-star bow user, meaning that she doesn’t have a specific weapon that launched alongside her. Thanks to this, there are a few options that you’re able to choose from when picking which bow to place on Collei. One of these is even a four-star, which can easily be acquired from wishes and that you likely already have if you’ve been playing for a few months.
Here are the best bows to use with Collei in Genshin Impact:
The Polar Star is actuallyTartaglia’sBow, so you will see it appear whenever he runs on a banner. Keep in mind that since Polar Star is a five-star item, you will need to luck out on the Weapon Banner to receive it. This can take a lot of saving and there ,is no way to know when the weapon will end up rerunning. A good substitue if you want Collei with a five star bow isElegy For The End, which will help with her energy recharge.
Best Artifacts
Luckily, getting the best artifact set to use with Collei is simple. The Deepwood Memories set launched alongside the character. This set focuses on raising the damage Collei will do when she uses her Dendro-charged attacks. To make things go by quicker, you can even run the Deepwood Memories Domain in co-op to cut down enemies quicker.
Here are the best artifact set to use with Collei:
you’re able to get the Deepwood Memories Artifact Set from the Spire of Solitary Enlightenment Domain in Sumeru. Like with most artifacts, you can farm a five-star set using your daily resin and won’t have to spend money on your artifacts for Collei.
Team Composition
Collei is a sub-DPS character who can be slotted into a variety of teams. Since she is Dendro, she can easily react with Electro, Pyro, and Hydro characters. One thing to keep in mind is that Collei is a bow-user, meaning she fights from a distance. Having a support character likeBeidou, whose burst requires the Collei to be close to enemies, likely won’t work well.
Some characters she’s being paired with are:
As a sub-DPS, Collei falls in between support and damage-dealing role. When ran with characters like Xiangling as the main DPS, though, her Dendro application can help deal serious amounts of damage to nearby enemies.
