Okay, I need to get this off my chest. The hype for Clorinde in Genshin Impact is REAL, and after digging through all the latest leaks, I'm convinced she's going to completely change the on-field DPS game when she drops in 4.7. Seriously, an Electro character who uses a sword and a gun? Fontaine's aesthetic is truly unmatched. Let's dive into what we know so far about our new queen. 🫡⚡

First things first, the basics. Clorinde is confirmed (via super reliable leakers) to be a 5-star Electro Sword user. But calling her just a sword user feels like a massive understatement. The real star of the show is her gun! She's shaping up to be a primary on-field damage dealer, and her whole kit seems designed to make her feel incredibly fluid and powerful. Remember those epic cutscenes in the Fontaine Archon Quests? Yeah, we're finally getting to play that fantasy. She'll be the second playable character to wield a gun after Chevreuse, but Clorinde's approach looks way more offensive and stylish.
Now, for the juicy details on how she actually plays. Leakers like Uncle K and hxg_diluc have been piecing together her Elemental Skill, and it sounds... insane.
Here’s the rumored sequence:
-
Activate Skill: Clorinde enters a special stance, pulling out her gun.
-
Aim & Shoot: You get to aim and fire Electro shots at your targets. Pew pew! 💥
-
The Finisher: After shooting, she lunges forward with her sword for a powerful stab.
And here's the best part: that lunge attack supposedly has invincibility frames (i-frames)! That means she won't take any damage during the animation. This is a HUGE deal for survivability and allows for some seriously aggressive play. It's like having a built-in dodge mechanic within her damage rotation.
Early leaks suggested she might be locked into Overload teams (Pyro + Electro reactions), but the consensus now is much more flexible. It seems she can work in a variety of elemental reaction teams, which is fantastic news for team-building. Vape with Hydro? Aggravate with Dendro? The possibilities are opening up!
Of course, a character's true potential is often unlocked through their Constellations. While we're still waiting for the official beta to confirm, early whispers about her early Constellations are exciting:
-
C1: Might trigger a follow-up attack after every Normal Attack. More hits = more damage. Simple and effective!
-
C2: Expected to grant increased resistance to interruption. This is a game-changer for any main DPS, making her much harder to stagger during her combos.
These early constellations seem focused on making her more powerful and more comfortable to play on-field, which is exactly what you want from a premium DPS unit.
Mark your calendars, because the real test begins soon. The beta for Version 4.7 is slated to start, and that's when we'll get the official, datamined details on all her talents, scaling, and numbers. Everyone's hoping for a smooth testing period—no one wants a repeat of the radical, last-minute changes we saw with Arlecchino's kit. Fingers crossed! 🤞
Clorinde, along with Sigewinne and Sethos, is set to be one of the final major characters released in the Fontaine saga. Version 4.7 is shaping up to be a massive update, introducing this unique hybrid gun-sword gameplay that we've never seen before. The wait is almost over, and I, for one, am already saving every single Primogem. Are you ready for her?
