Genshin Impact Collei's wish

Collei constellations

To make Collei a better support in Genshin Impact, we advise you to unlock as much as possible its constellations :

• C1 increases Collei's energy recharge by 20% when she is not on the field.
• Once C2 is unlocked, Collei's elemental attack will more easily apply the Dendro element.
• The C4 increases the elemental mastery of all the characters in your team (except Collei) by 60 points after using its elemental rampage.
• Finally, with C6, the Dendro application of Collei's elemental attack will be further strengthened.

How to play Collei in Genshin Impact ?

Collei is played as a support, you will never use her normal attacks. These attacks do very little damage. Only level up Collei's elemental rampage, then her elemental attack. The archer will mainly be used to apply the Dendro element with her elemental skills.

With Floral Brush (the elemental attack), Collei casts a boomerang that deals Dendro damage to enemies hit when it is cast. When he returns, he applies the Dendro element again.

With the Floral Sidewinder passive, if you trigger a Dendro elemental reaction before the boomerang returns, you activate the Sprout effect. This effect deals Dendro damage equal to 40% of Collei's ATK for 3 seconds.

The elemental attack also makes you collect energy particles, which allows you to charge Collei's elemental rampage faster.

With Trump-Card Kitty, the heroine summons a doll that causes an explosion inflicting area damage. This creates an area of Cuilein-Anbar. This area remains active for 6 seconds and takes 15 seconds to recharge.

However, thanks to the Languid Wood passive, when you trigger Dendro elemental reactions in Cuilein-Anbar territory, its duration is extended by 1 second. You can extend this area a maximum of 3 times.

On the other hand, you can only perform a maximum of 3 elemental reactions on each enemy. In comparison, the Dendro Traveler will be able to apply the Dendro element more often. Moreover, the application area is rather small and it can be difficult to keep the enemies inside.

What is the best equipment for Genshin Impact Collei?

Collei's gameplay revolves mainly around his Dendro application. You'll need as many energy recharges as possible to unleash her elemental rampage as often as possible. For a balanced build, also increase Collei's elemental control and offensive stats.

In this guide we reveal the best artifacts and weapons to equip on Genshin Impact Collei.

The best artifacts for Collei

For a good support build, we recommend equipping the 4-piece Deepwood Memories artifact set on Collei. The 2-piece set grants a 15% Dendro damage bonus. With 4 pieces of equipment, after using an elemental skill, you will lower the Dendro resistance of enemies by 30%.

If you don't have enough good coins, you can use the Noblesse Oblige set. With 2 coins you can increase the damage of the elemental rampage by 20% and with 4 coins you can increase the ATK of your whole team by 20% for 10 seconds after performing an elemental rampage.

You can also combine 2 pieces from several artifact sets:

• Emblem of Severed Fate to get a 20% energy recharge bonus;
• Gladiator’s Finale to increase the ATK or other equivalent set;
• Wanderer’s Troupe to increase elemental mastery by 80%.

If in doubt, prefer artifacts with the best statistics:

• Hourglass: ATK% or energy recharge;
• Cut : bonus damage Dendro ;
• Crown: critical rate or critical damage.

For secondary statistics:

• Energy Recharge;
• CRIT Rate;
• Critical damage ;
• Elemental Mastery;
• ATK%.

The best weapons to equip on Genshin Impact Collei

To complete Genshin Impact Collei equipment, our advice is to choose a weapon that increases energy recharge, elemental mastery or if you have nothing else the ATK, critical rate or critical damage.

For a good support build, the best weapons to equip on Genshin Impact Collei are:

• Elegy for the End (5★): the bow is excellent for supports: it boosts energy recharge, but also elemental mastery and ATK of your team ;
• Sacrificial Bow (4★): this weapon also increases energy recharge and has a chance to reset the equipped character's elemental skill;

• Favonius Warbow (4★): this is a great value for supports due to its energy recharge contribution;
• The Stringless (4★): the bow, meanwhile, increases elemental mastery as well as elemental skill damage, which is ideal for Collei ;
• Windblume Ode (4★): in addition to increasing elemental mastery, this weapon increases ATK for 6 seconds when you cast an elemental skill.

Genshin Impact Collei's climbing and skill materials

To raise Collei to level 90 in Genshin Impact, you will need:

• 18 Firm Arrowheads, 30 Sharp Arrowheads and 36 Weathered Arrowheads, you will loot on the Hilichurl Shooter;
• 168 Rukkhashava Mushrooms: Locate them directly with the interactive map of Teyvat ;
• 1 Sliver, 9 Fragments, 9 Chunks and 6 Gemstones of Nagatus Emerald as well as 46 Majestic Hooked Beaks to loot on the Jadeplume Terrorshroom.

And to increase Collei's skills:

• Teachings of Praxis, Guide to Praxis and Philosophies of Praxis. These items are available on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday in the Steeple of Ignorance dungeon;
• The Meaning of Aeons (from level 7): You will get them by fighting Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto.

Which teams does Collei play in?

Collei will work in all teams Genshin Impact where you want to perform elemental reactions related to the Dendro element.

To do Spread (Electro + Dendro) and increase Dendro damage, our advice is to play Collei with Tighnari, Fischl and Shinobu or a healer of another element.

If you prefer to do Aggravate (Dendro + Electro) in order to boost the Electro element, we recommend the team Collei / Raiden / Yae Miko / an Anemo character (Kazuha or Sucrose) or Zhongli for its shield.

But if you are more interested in the Burning reaction (Pyro + Dendro), the trick is to choose a Pyro DPS like Diluc, Klee, Yoimiya or Xiangling / Collei / Bennett / an Anemo character (Sucrose or Kazuha). Collei will be more effective than the Dendro Traveler in a burn team (the lotus invoked by the Traveler's elemental attack explodes on contact with the Pyro element).

By adding a Hydro character, you will explode Dendro Cores with the Burgeon reaction (Hydro + Dendro, then Pyro). For example, you can play Collei with a Hydro character (Tartaglia or Kokomi), a Pyro character (Thomas for example) and the Dendro Traveler.

How old and how tall is Genshin Impact Collei?

Collei is an apprentice forest ranger. She works under Tighnari. She is about 15-16 years old and 5'6" tall.

That's it for our tips and tricks in this guide dedicated to Genshin Impact Collei. In summary, this is a good Dendro holder that will work in many teams. However, if you haven't unlocked any of Collei's constellations, the Dendro Traveler will overtake it as far as the Dendro application goes. But it is definitely possible to play both together.
