Kirara joins theGenshin Impactroster as another Dendro vision sword user, making her thefirst Dendro characterfrom the Inazuma region. This 4-star character, with her charming personality and unique appearance, brings various gameplay elements to the table. One notable aspect is her Elemental Skill, which transforms her into a different state when held, granting increased movement and climbing abilities, making her an excellent companion for exploration.

However, Kirara’s abilities go beyond that. She can also generate powerful shields that scale with her HP and contribute to team compositions as a Dendro enabler and Burst-Support character inGenshin Impact. Although there are limited options for weapons that scale with HP, she can still effectively utilize others that provide additional Elemental Mastery or Energy Recharge to optimize her potential.
5Favonius Sword

The Favonius Sword is an excellent option for players who lack a battery character in their team and want to utilize Kirara for an additional function. Since this sword has been available since the game’s launch, many players may already have multiple copies of it, making it more consistent in generating Energy particles. However, it’s important to note that in order to effectively utilize the Favonius Sword, players will need to prioritize building Crit Rate on Kirara alongside her primary stat needs of HP and Elemental Mastery. Fortunately, the high modifiers of Kirara’s Elemental Burst also benefit from the increased Crit Rate, enhancing herburst-support DPS.
4Sapwood Blade
The Sapwood Blade is a great option for those interested in maximizing Kirara’s Elemental Burst uptime while providing additional Elemental Mastery support to the team. One of the benefits of this weapon is that it is entirely F2P and can be forged as part of theSumeru Forgeable Weaponsset, also making it easy to max refine. Alternatively, for players who have not progressed far enough in the story and exploration, the Iron Sting can be a viable option. While the Sapwood Blade performs better for Kirara’s support-focused playstyle, the Elemental Mastery secondary stat of the Iron Sting can still benefit the team when Kirara enablesDendro elemental reactions.
3Xiphos' Moonlight

Xiphos' Moonlight is another excellent 4-star option for Kirara, although it may be more challenging for some players to obtain. If fortunate, compared to other 4-star swords, it not only provides Kirara with additional Elemental Mastery but also enhances her and the team members' energy recharge, allowing her to function as a versatilesupport character with a battery function. Unlike the Favonious Sword, it doesn’t require Kirara to rely on an additional stat like Crit Rate, but instead focuses entirely on Elemental Mastery and HP, making her easier to build.
2Freedom Sworn

The Freedom Sword is theoptimal choice for support charactersaiming to maximize the team’s potential in terms of Elemental Reactions and the overall damage output of DPS characters. To activate its passive effect, Kirara must first trigger Elemental Reactions, which is not particularly challenging, especially considering that her Elemental Burst has the potential to apply Dendro in various instances. Although not every DPS character scales with ATK%, this can still be highly valuable for many team compositions, especially with the additional benefit of increased Normal, Charged, and Plunging damage.
1Key Of Khaj-Nisut
Nilou’s signature weapon, Key of Khaj-Nisut, is undeniably the top choice for Kirara, given that it is currently the only sword that scales with HP% while also providing a substantial boost to her Elemental Mastery and that of her team members. Consequently, players who are fortunate enough to possess an extra copy of this weapon can maximize not only Kirara’s shield strength but also her Elemental Mastery by focusing solely on HP. However, for players aiming to use Kirara and Nilou together in a team composition, it should be noted that this weapon will still be more effective when wielded by Nilou rather than Kirara.
