Genshin Impact Kirara Guide: Materials, Weapons, and, Artifacts
Materials
As a Dendro character, Kirara uses Nagadus Emerald stones for ascension and they can be obtained from the Dendro Hypostasis and the Jadeplume Terrorshroom. Her other ascension material, Evergloom Ring can be obtained from the Iniquitous Baptist. The boss materials for her talents can be obtained from the Guardian of Apep’s Oasis weekly boss. Please check out this article for a detailed breakdown of Kirara’s materials.
Weapons
Kirara has two sets of weapons to choose from, depending on whether she has a Spread DPS build or a shield support build. For the regular shield support build, her best-in-slot weapon is the 5* Key of Khaj-Nisut. The best 4* option is the Sapwood Blade. Any ER% weapon like Favonius Sword and Sacrificial Sword are also great options. For a Spread DPS build, her best 5* option is Light of Foliar Incision, while her best 4* option is Xiphos’ Moonlight. Please check out this article for a list of Kirara’s best weapons.
Artifacts
Kirara needs around 140-160% ER with a Dendro teammate, and around 160-180% ER if she is the only Dendro character in the team and needs to use her burst frequently.
For shield support build:
| Sands | Goblet | |
|---|---|---|
| HP%/ER% | HP% | HP% |
For Spread DPS build:
| Sands | Goblet | Circlet |
|---|---|---|
| ATK/EM | Dendro DMG% | CRIT |

Genshin Impact Kaveh: Playstyle, Team Comps, and Constellations
Playstyle
Kirara’s primary role in the team is to provide a Dendro shield. Her synergy is great with Bloom teams to protect teammates from Bloom self-DMG. Her value is the highest in a Nilou Bloom team since the Blooms do massive amounts of Dendro DMG which can be efficiently absorbed by her Dendro shield.
Kirara can also be played as a Spread DPS where she is the primary Dendro applier and reaction trigger. This is possible due to her hold skill. Here’s a detailed article on Kirara’s playstyle that you can check.
Team Comps
Kirara can be slotted into just about any Dendro team like Aggravate (Dendro support), Spread (DPS), and Bloom (shield support). She may also be used in Burgeon teams but honestly, she is not offering anything more than her shield and the best Burgeon team utilizes Thoma who already has a shield. Check this detailed explanation of Kirara’s teams to know who works the best with this character.
Constellations
Kirara is a perfectly functional character at C0. She benefits from C1, C3, and C6 but there is no pressure to pull for them. For a detailed breakdown of Kirara’s constellations, you can check our existing guide.
Final Thoughts
Kirara is an amazing 4* character who excels at her role of being a dedicated shielder for Dendro teams. Being a 4* character, she is more accessible than Baizhu and situationally more useful than him. While she lacks Baizhu’s healing, she makes up for it with a more reliable shield.
