Genshin Impact Dori is a 4 star Electro character wielding a double sword. The merchant has the particularity of being able to heal the members of her team, but also to recharge their energy. She will be played mainly as a support character and will not do much damage. In this guide, we detail the qualities and shortcomings of Dori in Genshin Impact. Thanks to our tips and tricks, you will know which artifacts and weapons to equip her with to get the best build, but also in which teams to play her.

The chances of having Genshin Impact Dori are increased when she is featured in an Character Event Wish, as is the case from September 9 through September 27, 2022.

Dori's constellations

If you play Genshin Impact Dori as a healer, you can do without her constellations. However, they can improve the character and his damage. His C1 increases the number of shots from his elemental attack and with his C2, Dori's djinn unleashes a shot on enemies when he heals a character.

The C4 will be able to give a bonus to healing and/or energy recharge. Finally, the C6 will allow Dori to be played as a DPS, as her normal attacks can be infused with Electro.

How to play Genshin Impact Dori ?

Genshin Impact Dori is mainly played as a support. She can, like Kuki Shinobu, heal your team. In addition to that, she is a good battery as her elemental unleashing restores the energy of the other characters in your team.

The trick is to orient its gameplay around its elemental unleashing: Alcazarzaray’s Exactitude. Dori summons the djinn of his lamp. This one stays 12 seconds on the field. He then creates a link between him and the active character. From then on, the character will get healings, elemental energy and will be affected by the Electro element. To apply the Electro element to an enemy, the link between the active character and the djinn will have to touch it, which can be inconvenient.

With the An Eye for Gold passive, when you trigger an Electro elemental reaction while the Djinn is active, you decrease the cooldown of Dori's elemental attack by 1 second. You can use this effect every 3.5 seconds.

Spirit-Warding Lamp: Troubleshooter Cannon, Dori's elemental attack, is used primarily to collect energy particles to charge the elemental rampage. Unfortunately, the Djinn's cannon shots do very little damage. But thanks to the Compound Interest passive, any successful shot will restore 5 energy points for every 100% energy recharge Dori has.

In short, when playing Genshin Impact Dori, your goal will be to cast her elemental rampage as often as possible. Dori can only heal one character at a time, but her healing will be more generous than that of Kuki Shinobu.

Dori's Electro application, however, is lighter and more difficult to set up. Our advice is to play it with another Electro character if you want to multiply the elemental reactions.

You are advised to level up her elemental rampage first, then her elemental attack. You won't use her normal attacks unless you have her C6 and want to play her as a DPS.

What is the best equipment for Dori?

To be effective, Dori will need a maximum of energy recharge (at least 200%) since her elemental rampage costs 80 energy points, but also PV to provide good healings. We reveal the best artifacts and weapons to equip on Genshin Impact Dori to get an optimal build.

The best artifacts for Dori

Since you will be playing Dori mostly for his elemental rampage, the best artifact set to equip on Dori is none other than the 4-piece Genshin Impact set. It will allow you to increase the damage of his elemental rampage by 20% and especially to grant a bonus of ATK of 20% to your whole team after having launched his elemental rampage.

A 2 pieces combination from the Emblem of Severed Fate set (20% energy recharge) and 2 pieces from Tenacity of the Millelith (20% more HP) is also an excellent option for a balanced build.

You can also start with 4 pieces of Emblem of Severed Fate to increase Dori's elemental rampage damage by 25% of her energy recharge or 4 pieces of the Ocean-Hued Clam set. This set increases Dori's heal and will cause a sea foam to appear when Dori generates heal. It will deal damage in proportion to the amount of healing done.

The main statistics to be prioritised:

• Hourglass: HP% or energy recharge;
• Cut: HP% or Electro damage;
• Crown: HP%, healing bonus or energy recharge.

Secondary statistics :

• HP% ;
• Energy Recharge;
• Elemental Mastery;
• ATK%.

The best weapons for Dori

To complete Genshin Impact Dori's equipment, we recommend weapons that increase her energy recharge:

• Sacrificial Greatsword: This is the best weapon to equip on Genshin Impact Dori. The double sword, in addition to boosting its energy recharge, offers a chance to reset Dori's elemental skill. This way you can throw it more often to generate more energy particles;
• Favonius Geatsword: The weapon will also increase the energy recharge, but to take full advantage of its passive, you will need to raise the critical rate of Dori;
• Skyward Pride: The two-handed sword provides a lot of energy recharge and increases the damage dealt by 8%;
• Katsuragikiri Nagamasa: In addition to boosting energy recharge, this weapon to be made by the blacksmith, increases the damage of elemental skills.

Genshin Impact Dori's ascension and skill materials

To raise Dori to level 80+ in Genshin Impact and thus increase his HP to the maximum, you will need to collect the following resources:

• 1 Sliver, 9 Fragments, 9 Chunks and 6 Gemstone of Vajrada Amethyst as well as 46 Thunderclap Fruitcores to loot from the Electro Regisvines;
• 168 Kalpalotus: you will find them in the mountains of Sumeru. Locate them directly with the interactive map of Teyvat;
• 18 Faded Red Satins, 30 Trimmed Red Silks, and 36 Rich Red Brocades, which you will obtain by fighting Eremites. You'll also need them to upgrade Dori's skills.

To increase Dori's skills, you will also need:

• Teachings of Ingenuity, Guide to Praxis, and Philosophies of Ingenuity. You can loot these items on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday in the Steeple of Ignorance dungeon;
• Bloodjade Branchs to be recovered by fighting Azhdaha.

In which team should Genshin Impact Dori play ?

Dori will be able to officiate in any team where you need a healer or a battery to charge your DPS elemental rampage.

We particularly recommend the teams :

Eula / Raiden or Fischl / Rosalia or Zhongli / Dori: Dori will perform Superconduct on contact with Cryo, which will lower the enemy's physical resistance. She will also heal your characters and charge Eula's elemental rampage faster.

Dori can also integrate an Electro-Charged team to avoid playing Kokomi and instead rely on a Hydro DPS such as Tartaglia, Ayato or Yelan. Then add a second Electro character such as Fischl and finally an Anemo hero to gather the enemies(Kazuha, Venti, Jeanor Sucrose).

You can also play Dori in a team focused on Dendro reactions such as Tighnari / Dori / Zhongli / Collei or the Dendro Traveler to boost Tighnari through Spread.

How old and how big is Genshin Impact Dori ?

Dori is a small character, she is approximately 1m35 tall. Her age is unknown, although she seems to be very young despite her experience as a merchant.

That's it for this Genshin Impact Dori guide. In short, this is a fun character to play and can vary your teams. However, while it's nice to have an extra Electro healer, supports like Fischl or Beidou are better options for damage, especially in the abyss. Likewise, Shinobu will more easily apply the Electro element. For more character and quest guides, head to our Genshin Impact tips page.
