Kirara represents a significant milestone in Genshin Impact, being the first Vision character from Inazuma to debut since the Sumeru region’s addition in version 3.0. With the upcoming release of Genshin Impact version 3.6, HoYoverse has unveiled Kirara, a female character hailing from Inazuma with a distinct cat motif. This revelation was made briefly through HoYoverse’s Twitter announcement.
What sets Kirara apart is her unique status as the first character to emerge from Inazuma after the introduction of the Sumeru region. While figures like Wanderer and Scaramouche are said to have ties to Inazuma, they technically received their Visions and were introduced as playable characters associated with the Sumeru region.
Intriguingly, Kirara also makes history as the inaugural Dendro character originating from the jurisdiction of the Electro Archon, the formidable Raiden Shogun.
Build Recommendations for Kirara in Genshin Impact
We have put together a comprehensive guide for building Kirara in Genshin Impact. This guide covers skill prioritization, artifact choices, and team recommendations tailored to maximize Kirara’s potential in the game.
Our artifact recommendations are up-to-date with the latest releases, and we’ll continue to update them as new artifacts become available in Genshin Impact.
Kirara’s Talent and Character Ascension Materials
To ascend Kirara, you’ll need specific materials dropped by Iniquitous Baptist, including the Evergloom Ring, Nagadus Emerald (chunk, emerald, gemstone), Amakumo Fruit, and materials from Specter enemies like the Spectral Heart, Spectral Husk, and Spectral Nucleus.
Talent materials for Kirara can be obtained by defeating the Weekly boss, Guardian of Apep’s Oasis, specifically the Everamber, and Specter enemies like Spectral Heart, Spectral Husk, and Spectral Nucleus.
Additionally, Kirara will require the Transience set for talent ascension materials, including Teaching Transience, Guide to Transience, and Philosophies of Transience.
Best Constellation for Kirara’s Genshin Impact Build
Kirara is a formidable character even at constellation level 0 (C0), thanks to her powerful shield ability. However, we recommend reaching C2 for optimal performance as it grants shields to other party members during co-op play and enhances Kirara’s Dendro DMG absorption.
Skill Priority for Kirara’s Genshin Impact Build
Kirara’s normal attack consists of four consecutive physical damage strikes. Her Elemental Skill, Meow-teor Kick, provides a Dendro shield that deals Dendro DMG to nearby enemies. Holding down the Elemental Skill button transforms Kirara into a parcel box, allowing her to deal Dendro DMG to foes she encounters. This mode also increases her movement and climbing speed. However, staying in this mode will result in a longer cooldown.
Kirara’s Elemental Burst, Secret Art: Surprise Dispatch, inflicts AoE Dendro DMG and detonates parcels with Dendro DMG upon contact or when their duration expires. Prioritize leveling up her Elemental Skill, followed by her Elemental Burst for a balanced build.
If you intend to use Kirara as a support, you can ignore leveling her Normal Attack talent. However, if she’s your main DPS character, focus on maximizing her Normal Attack talent.
Artifacts Suited for Kirara’s Genshin Impact Build
The ideal main stats for Kirara depend on your preferred playstyle. If you’re building her as a shield-focused character, prioritize HP and aim to reach level 90. To maintain damage output, consider adding ATK as a secondary stat. Energy Recharge and Crit Rate/DMG sub-stats are also valuable for Kirara.Â
The Deepwood Memories artifact set is highly recommended, but you can mix in locations like 2-PC Tenacity of the Millelith or Vourukasha’s Glow for extra HP. For support builds, the 4-PC Noblesse Oblige set is a viable option.
Recommended Weapons for Kirara’s Genshin Impact Build
Kirara is primarily a support character, so choose weapons commonly used by support characters, such as Sapwood Blade, Sacrificial Sword, Festering Desire, or Favonius Sword. If you’re fortunate enough to possess a 5-star weapon, Key of Khaj-Nisut is an excellent choice, but Freedom-Sworn or Skyward Spine are also viable options.
Recommended Team Composition (Party Setup) for Kirara’s Genshin Impact Build
Kirara excels as a supporting character in Dendro elemental reaction teams, particularly those involving Spread, Aggravate, and Hyperbloom. A recommended team is the Hyperbloom setup, comprising Kirara, Nahida, Yelan, and Yae Miko. You can substitute Yae Miko with characters like Fischl, Kuki Keqing, and Nahida with other Dendro personalities like Tighnari or Alhaitham.
Consider replacing Xingqiu with an Electro character like Raiden Shogun to create a Dendro-Electro mono team for Aggravate or Spread playstyles.
This concludes our Kirara Genshin Impact build guide. You can acquire Kirara after the initial part of the 3.7 update. Kirara was introduced alongside Yae Miko and Yoimiya banners, so if you aim for both characters, consider Top Up Genesis Crystals from a trusted source like UniPin.
