  • Elemental mastery

Genshin Impact’s Dori has two key builds: off-field support aggravate and hyperbloom trigger.

Dori’s best weapon regardless of her build is the Favonius Greatsword and her best artifact set is Gilded Dreams. Focus on HP% and healing bonus for her support build, but target elemental mastery and energy recharge for hyperbloom teams.

Above all, your main aim for Dori is to get her energy recharge up to about 200% or higher, as her main utility is her burst. After that, you should aim to increase her elemental mastery.

How should I use Dori?

Dori is a unique character with rare support capabilities, both healing her allies and regenerating energy. She makes for a pretty great battery, too, making her a great support choice for any team with energy-hungry DPS. Her main utility is her burst which she uses to heal her allies even when she is off the field.

On the other hand, her personal damage really isn’t great, and she does require a lot of energy recharge to maximize her own potential. But in the right team, she can be a true asset.

What are the best Dori weapons?

Generally speaking, Favonius Greatsword is one of the best weapons for Dori. This is thanks to its incredible battery potential for both her and her teammates.

Dori’s hyperbloom build had a great craftable option in the Katsuragikiri Nagamasa. It’s a great stat stick and its bonus skill adds to her off-field energy recharge capability.

Forest Regalia’s passive ability specifically works with dendro reactions so we recommend it for her aggravate support build. It’s another forgeable stat stick and its skill grants your teammates a handy elemental mastery buff.

Weapon Effect How to obtain
Favonius Greatsword Bonus stat: energy recharge
Skill: crit hits have a 60% chance to generate a small number of elemental particles, which regenerate six energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12 seconds
Gacha
Katsuragikiri Nagamasa Bonus stat: energy recharge
Skill: increases elemental skill damage by 6%. After your elemental skill hits an opponent, Dori loses three energy but regenerates three energy every two seconds for the next six seconds. This effect can occur once every ten seconds and can trigger even when Dori isn’t in the field

Forest Regalia Bonus stat: energy recharge
Skill: after triggering burning, quicken, aggravate, spread, bloom, hyperbloom, or burgeon, create a Leaf of Consciousness around the character for a maximum of ten seconds. When picked up, the Leaf will grant the character 60 elemental mastery for 12 seconds. Only one Leaf can be generated this way every 20 seconds. This effect can still be triggered if the character is not on the field. The Leaf of Consciousness’ effect cannot stack

What are the best Dori artifacts?

According to Keqingmains, a four-piece set of Gilded Dreams is extremely reliable for Dori. Its two-piece bonus boosts her elemental mastery massively and she’s able to proc the four-piece bonus fairly consistently, despite her limited field time.

Thundering Fury is extremely competitive for aggravate Dori thanks to its electro damage bonus, aggravate damage bonus, and cooldown resets. Conversely, hyperbloom Dori’s burst can achieve 100% dendro shred uptime when using four pieces of Deepwood Memories.

Noblesse Oblige is the best option if your Dori build is more healing-focused or generally doesn’t focus on aggravate and hyperbloom reactions. Just make sure no one else on the team is using it to benefit from the four-piece bonus.

If you’re looking for a four-star, early-game set, Instructor is your best bet, especially if multiple teammates are driving reactions.

Artifact set Effect How to obtain
Gilded Dreams Two equipped: elemental mastery +80
Four equipped: within eight seconds of triggering an elemental reaction, Dori obtains buffs based on the elemental type of the other party members. Attack increases by 14% for each party member whose elemental type is the same as Dori (electro), and elemental mastery is increased by 50 for every party member with a different elemental type. Each of the aforementioned buffs will count up to three characters. This effect can trigger once every eight seconds. Dori can still trigger its effects when not on the field

Thundering Fury Two equipped: electro damage bonus +15%

What are the best Dori team comps?

As a battery supporter, Dori works wonderfully in a range of energy-hungry team comps in need of a healer. She’s a great addition to a multi-element team, but also fits in well in an otherwise mono-geo team using Genshin Impact’s Itto, Genshin Impact’s Gorou, and Genshin Impact’s Albedo.

Here’s an example of a strong, F2P-friendly Dori team comp:

A maximum of 15 energy can be restored this way per Spirit-Warding Lamp: Troubleshooter Cannon

Talent level priority

When leveling up Dori’s talents, we recommend prioritizing the following:

  • Burst > Skill > Normal attack

If your Dori is already at C6 and functions as a reaction driver, prioritize her normal attack over her skill.

What are Dori’s constellations?

If you pull more than one copy of Genshin Dori, you can unlock these constellations.

C1: Additional Investment The number of After-Sales Service Rounds that Troubleshooter Shots creates increases by one
C2: Special Franchise When the Lamp Spirit heals the character it’s connected to, it fires a Jinni Toop from the character’s position, dealing 20% of Troubleshooter Shot’s damage
C3: Value for More Increases the level of Spirit-Warding Lamp: Troubleshooter Cannon by three
C4: Discretionary Supplement When the character connected to the Lamp Spirit’s HP is lower than 50%, they gain 50% incoming healing bonus, and when their energy is less than 50%, they gain 30% energy recharge
