Kirara is Genshin’s newest character.

Her damage also scales with her HP, meaning the tankier she is, the more damage she puts out. 

Here’s the best way to build Kirara in Genshin Impact.

Best weapons for Kirara in Genshin Impact

Kirara’s HP is what determines the strength of her shields as well as providing bonus damage.

The Key of Khaj-Nisut is the best weapon for her as it adds the HP% stat, and gives Elemental Mastery based on her HP.

It also boosts the damage of any reactions Kirara causes.

If you don’t have this one, here are the best alternate weapons for Kirara in Genshin Impact:

  • Sapwood Blade (four-star one-handed sword)
  • Xiphos’ Moonlight (four-star one-handed sword)
  • Favonius Sword (four-star one-handed sword)
  • Sacrificial Sword (four-star one-handed sword)

Best artifacts for Kirara in Genshin Impact

The best way to add more HP to Kirara is through the Vourukasha’s Glow artifact set.

Pairing two pieces of the set with two pieces of Tenacity of the Millelith will boost her HP by 40%.

You should get the following stat distribution on Kirara’s artifact set:

  • Flower: HP (main stat), HP%, Energy Recharge, Elemental Mastery, Attack% (secondary stats)
  • Plume: Attack (main stat), HP%, HP, Energy Recharge, Elemental Mastery (secondary stats)
  • Sands: HP% (main stat), HP, Energy Recharge, Elemental Mastery, Attack% (secondary stats)
  • Goblet: HP% (main stat), HP, Energy Recharge, Elemental Mastery, Attack% (secondary stats)
  • Circlet: HP% (main stat), HP, Energy Recharge, Elemental Mastery, Attack% (secondary stats)

Best teams for Kirara in Genshin Impact

Her main role is to protect your team from damage, but she also provides Dendro application.

  • Keqing (Main DPS), Nahida (Support), Kirara (Support), Kuki Shinobu (Support)

This composition is an Aggravate team where Keqing, Nahida and Shinobu deal the majority of the damage.

Kirara will keep your team healthy by providing shields and absorbing incoming damage.
