Chiori is an upcoming playable character in Genshin Impact, anticipated for release in version 4.5. She made her debut in the in-game Roses and Muskets flagship event during version 4.3, confirming her possession of a Geo vision. Recent leaks suggest that Chiori, the owner of Chioriya Boutique, is likely to function as a sub-DPS unit, capable of dealing significant off-field damage.
The leaks also provide insights into Chiori’s potential ascension stats, signature weapon, and damage scalings. According to information shared by @hxg_diluc, Chiori is poised to be a Geo Sub-DPS character, boasting off-field damage potential comparable to characters like Raiden Shogun, Ayaka, and Navia.
Speculations indicate that her ascension stat may revolve around CRIT Rate, facilitating a relatively straightforward build for decent CRIT values. Additionally, there’s mention of a signature sword with CRIT DMG stats, implying a 5-star unit status. Notably, Chiori wields dual blades for her Normal Attacks, reminiscent of Alhaitham.
Further details suggest that Chiori’s kit might scale simultaneously on both DEF and ATK, showcasing a dual scaling mechanic akin to the feeble scholar of the Akademiya. Leaks from Genshin Impact sources FouL, Uncle K, and GenshinMeow shed light on Chiori’s splash art, featuring a doll or mannequin, potentially linked to her Elemental Burst. The leaks hint at Chiori relying on Geo Constructs and Elemental Shards from other party members for buffs.
Despite this reliance on Geo Constructs, it’s emphasized that Chiori’s doll or mannequin is distinct and not classified as a Geo Construct. This suggests a potential need for additional Geo units in her party composition. Chiori’s Elemental Skill is expected to summon puppets to the field, aligning with the doll motif in her splash art. Speculations extend to her key constellations focusing on enhancing these summonings.
While Chiori utilizes dual blades for Normal Attacks, it’s noted that, given her rumored status as a Sub-DPS unit with the bulk of her damage emanating from her Elemental Burst, her Normal Attack may serve a primarily aesthetic purpose and might not contribute significantly to combat scenarios.
