Kirara build guide for Genshin Impact: Best weapons and artifacts to farm

Kirara is a 4-star Dendro Sword user in Genshin Impact who focuses on HP-based shields. The best support builds will focus on maximizing her HP. Her third Passive and C1 also reward players for raising this stat as high as possible. Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge are other solid stats worth buffing. The former is great for Dendro characters in general, while the latter can make her spam her wide Dendro Elemental Burst more often.

DPS builds are possible, but Kirara's kit is best suited to support her team. Hence, this guide will focus on making her a great shielder worth considering on some teams over other options. She is the first Dendro character with a shield on her Elemental Skill, so let's take advantage of that.

How to build Kirara in Genshin Impact with the right artifacts and weapons

There are a few different artifact sets worth getting on Kirara in Genshin Impact:

• 2-piece Tenacity of the Millelith + 2-piece Vourukasha's Glow: +40% HP is a huge benefit to making her shields stronger.
• 4-piece Tenacity of the Millelith: +20% HP while buffing ATK by 20% and Shield Strength by 30% when casting an Elemental Skill is doable.
• 4-piece Deepwood Memories: Useful to reduce enemies' Dendro RES for your main Dendro DPS to do more damage.

If you don't remember where to get these artifacts, here's a reminder:

• Tenacity of the Millelith: Ridge Watch Domain
• Vourukasha's Glow: Molten Iron Fortress Domain
• Deepwood Memories: Spire of Solitary Enlightenment Domain

Ideally, you want to get the 5-star pieces since they're much better than their 4-star counterparts.

Here are the main artifact stats to focus on:

• Sands of Eon: HP%
• Goblet of Eonothem: HP%
• Circlet of Logos: HP%

Secondary stats of note are:

• HP%
• Elemental Mastery
• Energy Recharge
• Flat HP
• CRIT Rate
• CRIT DMG

A lot of RNG is involved in getting the correct stats, so at least try to obtain most of the ideal stats highlighted above.

Best weapon for Kirara in Genshin Impact

The best weapons for Kirara in Genshin Impact will raise her HP or make her spam her Elemental Skill more often. Examples include:

• Key Of Khaj-Nisut: Massive HP buff makes this the de facto best Sword for making her shields as strong as possible. She can also make good use of the Elemental Mastery buff.
• Primordial Jade Cutter: Also buffs HP, but nowhere near as much as Key of Khaj-Nisut does. The CRIT Rate and ATK buffs from Primordial Jade Cutter are also okay on her as a minor bonus to her DPS in a support build.
• Sacrificial Sword: More F2P-friendly than the previous two weapons. Energy Recharge is a nice stat, and being able to spam her shield more often with its effect is a huge bonus.

Any future Swords that buff HP will be valuable on this character. Until then, the above weapons are your best bet for maximizing her shields' potency in Genshin Impact.
