Genshin Impact Version 4.5 Update debuts the new character of Chiori “The Thundering Seamstress”, who is the new playable geo/sword character, hailing from Inazuma. This guide will provide a detailed breakdown of the constellations for Chiori in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact Chiori Guide: List of Constellations
| Constellation Level | Description |
|---|---|
| C1 | Six Paths of Sage Silkcraft
The AoE of the automaton doll “Tamoto” summoned by Fluttering Hasode is increased by 50%. |
| C2 | In Five Colors Dyed
For 10s after using Hiyoku: Twin Blades, a simplified automaton doll, “Kinu,” will be summoned next to your active character every 3s. Kinu will attack nearby opponents, dealing AoE Geo DMG equivalent to 170% of Tamoto’s DMG. DMG dealt this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG. |
| C3 | Sole Principle Pursuit
After triggering a follow-up effect of the Passive Talent “Tailor-Made,” Chiori’s own Fluttering Hasode’s CD is decreased by 12s. Must unlock the Passive “Tailor-Made” first. |
| C4 | A Tailor’s Three Courtesies
For 8s after triggering either follow-up effect of the Passive Talent “Tailor-Made,” when your current active character’s Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks hit a nearby opponent, a simplified automaton doll, “Kinu,” will be summoned near this opponent. You can summon 1 Kinu every 1s in this way, and up to 3 Kinu may be summoned this way during each instance of “Tailor-Made”‘s Seize the Moment or Tailoring effect. The above effect can be triggered up to once every 15s. |
| C5 | Four Brocade Embellishments
Increases the Level of Fluttering Hasode by 3. |
| C6 | Sole Principle Pursuit
After triggering a follow-up effect of the Passive Talent “Tailor-Made,” Chiori’s own Fluttering Hasode’s CD is decreased by 12s. Must unlock the Passive “Tailor-Made” first. |
Genshin Impact Chiori Guide: Breakdown of Chiori’s Constellations
C1: Six Paths of Sage Silkcraft
This constellation increases her Doll’s attack range. The mere presence of another Geo character at the party is enough for her to summon her second Doll. There is no need for a Geo construct. This enables Chiori to reach her full potential even when paired with Geo characters who cannot summon constructs, for example, Navia.
The Doll can also trigger the Geo DMG bonus from her Ascension 4 passive all by itself.
C2: In Five Colors Dyed
Using her Elemental Burst will summon another Doll called Kinu. This Doll will disappear after attacking once or after staying in the field for 3s. Kinu’s DMG is 170% of Tamoto’s but it only attacks once. Kinu will be summoned every 3s for 10s after using her Burst, a total of 3 times. Kinu’s DMG counts as Elemental Skill DMG and since the summoned dolls are her biggest source of DMG, this constellation encourages players to use her Burst every rotation.
C3: Four Brocade Embellishments
Three additional levels to her Elemental Skill, the biggest source of her DMG.
C4: A Tailor’s Three Courtesies
Kinu can now be summoned by her Elemental Skill as well. For 8s after using her Skill, whenever her normal/charged/plunging attacks hit enemies, 1 Kinu can be summoned every 1s, up to a total of 3. She needs to play as an on-field DPS.
C5: Two Silken Plumules
Three additional levels to her Elemental Burst, which is nice to have.
C6: Sole Principle Pursuit
After double-tapping her Skill, or using a normal attack after her Skill, the cooldown will be reduced to 4s. Her normal attack (but not charged or plunging attack) DMG is increased by 235% of her DEF. This constellation, working in tandem with her C4 can potentially change her playstyle.
Chiori can gain a 5s Geo infusion if she uses a normal attack after her Skill. She can keep the Geo infusion by using her Skill again thanks to the reduced cooldown.
Final Thoughts
If played as an off-field support, C1, C2 and C3 are very valuable constellations to have. C4 might look attractive at first, but Chiori needs to be on-field for the additional summons of Kinu, which makes it not very useful for an off-field playstyle. If played as an on-field DPS, all of her constellations especially C4 and C6 are extremely valuable. Her C6 is what makes her a viable on-field DPS.
None of her constellations are required, she is a perfectly functional unit at C0. However, C1 or C2 is a great stopping point for free-to-play or low-spenders who plan to play her as an off-field support. Do not try to play her as an on-field DPS before her C4, it is not worth it.
