Best Artifacts for Kirara in Genshin Impact

Noblesse Oblige is the best artifact for Kirara

Kirara has decent variety when it comes to artifact sets in Genshin Impact. The best-in-slot artifact set for Kirara’s build will be Noblesse Oblige. This artifact set increases her own Elemental Burst DMG and also enhances the ATK of everyone in the party upon using the same.

The second best artifact set for Kirara’s build that you can use will be Deepwood Memories. This artifact set will increase Dendro DMG bonus for Kirara and also applies Dendro DMG RES shred on all enemies hit by the elemental skill or burst of the wearer.

However, the second artifact set is not recommended since you will probably be using Nahida or Dendro Traveler for application as well as resistance shred. In that case, two characters using Deepwood Memories is detrimental since the effects do not stack.

Thus, Kirara is better off with the Noblesse Oblige as it is the perfect support artifact. The set bonus for both these artifact sets are provided below:

Best Weapons for Kirara in Genshin Impact

Sacrificial Sword is a must-have weapon for Kirara

Kirara is a support character which means that she benefits from everything that offers Energy Recharge. Hence, the best weapons for Kirara’s build in the game are Sacrificial Sword and Favonius Sword.

Sacrificial sword offers Energy Recharge to Kirara and resets the cooldown of her Elemental skill depending upon the refinement level of the weapon. Favonius sword also offers Energy Recharge, but it generates Elemental Particles for the rest of the party upon CRIT hits.

The stats for both of these weapons have been provided in the table below:

Kirara Talent Level up and Ascension Materials in Genshin Impact

Kirara’s talent and ascension materials can be found spread across Sumeru and Inazuma. Her ascension requires an item called Evergloom Ring that is dropped by the boss named Inquisitous Baptists. Her talents require an item called Everamber that is dropped by the weekly boss named Guardian of Apep’s Oasis.

Apart from that, she requires Amakumo Fruit which can be found in Inazuma, and Spectral Husk which is dropped by Specters in the same region. Lastly, she also requires Dendro gemstones which can be obtained from the Dendro Hypostasis.

Kirara Best Team Comp in Genshin Impact

Tighnari is a really good team member for Kirara in Genshin Impact

Kirara excels in those teams where she can protect an on-field hyper-carry. Hence, her best team partners in Genshin Impact are Tighnari, Yae Miko, and Nahida. In this team, Kirara will protect all three characters from incoming damage, especially if it is Dendro in nature.

Apart from that, Kirara also functions extremely well in a team with Nilou, Nahida, and Kokomi. This is the exclusive Bloom team where the Dendro cores can deal damage to the allies upon explosion. Kirara’s Dendro shield will ensure that the party does not take too much damage.

Lastly, Kirara will also be good in a team with Alhaitham, Yae Miko, and Nahida. This team performs in the exact same way as Tighnari’s team. However, since Alhaitham is a melee character, you will benefit a lot more from Kirara’s shield in this case.

Hence, that completes our guide for the best Kirara build in Genshin Impact. If you found it informative, then please look into some of our other guides at Dexerto.
