On this page of the guide to the game Genshin Impact, you'll learn all about Noelle, a character with Geo element. You will learn general information about the character, what he is best suited for, how to build him well, and in which team he will have the greatest potential to perform his role.
General information
Noelle is a four-star Geo character who fights with a Claymore. This character fits the role of main DPS, tank, and healer. A strong side of Noelle is her versatility because she deals damage, heals herself and allies, and scales with DEF, which makes her difficult to defeat.
When building Noelle, it is worth focusing on such statistics as DEF%, CRIT DMG, and CRIT Rate.
Best team compositions
- Geo Main DPS - Noelle/Albedo/Gorou/Fischl
- Geo Main DPS - Noelle/Beidou/Fischl/Zhongli
- Geo Main DPS - Noelle/Yun Jin/Albedo/Gorou
Geo Main DPS Build
Noelle can deal high damage over a large area while being difficult to kill. In addition, with each attack, she heals the injured allies.
- Artifacts - 4x Husk of Opulent Dreams/4x Retracing Bolide
- Weapons - Redhorn Stonethresher/Serpent Spine
Since for Noelle, like most Geo characters, the most important stat is DEF, it is worth putting on a 4x Hust of Opulent Dreams set. A 2-piece bonus results in +30% DEF, and a 4-piece bonus means a special skill. You can receive 1 stack of it after dealing damage with Geo, and this effect can occur every 0.3 seconds. If Itto is away from the field, one stack is gained every 3 seconds. You can stack the effect up to 4 times. Each stack guarantees 6% DEF and 6% Geo DMG Bonus. If six seconds elapse without adding a new stack, one of active stacks will disappear.
You can also use 4x Retracing Bolide. You will increase shield efficiency by 35%, and your normal and charged attacks will inflict 40% more damage while using it. Since Noelle gets a shield from Elemental Skill, you can also combine her with other characters like Beidou or Diona, who also receive shields. That way you can use this set even more effectively.
When it comes to weapons, Redhorn Stonethresher is perfect for Noelle. Weapon bonus effect gives 19.2% to Crit DMG. A hero with this weapon equipped has their DEF increased by 28%, and considering that Noelle attacks scale with DEF, this will considerably increase your damage-dealing potential. Finally, the weapon skill makes Normal and Charged attacks DMG increase by 40% of DEF. Currently, there isn't a better weapon for Noelle.
However, if you do not have this weapon in your inventory, you can also use the four-star one, which is available after purchasing the Battle Pass and reaching level 30 in it. We're talking about Serpent Spine. The weapon bonus improves CRIT Rate. Moreover, for every 4 seconds that Noelle spends on the battlefield, she receives one stack - a sword revolving around her (up to a maximum of 5). Each stack makes you receive 3% more DMG, but in return, Itto will deal 6% DMG more. When Eula takes damage, one stack disappears, but they are maintained even when the heroine is away from the battlefield.
Talents
Talents are special abilities divided into Combat and Passive categories. In Noelle's case, you should focus on developing these talents in this order:
- Geo Main DPS - Favonius Bladework - Maid, Sweeping Time, Breastplate
Constellations
You may considere Noelle as Main DPS when you have her at C6 level. Mainly because on C2, you'll gain reduced stamina consumption when you perform charged attacks. In addition, damage from this type of attack will be increased by 15%.
What's more, by gaining a boost on C6, Noelle will become really powerful. After using Elemental Burst, her ATK will increase by an additional 50% DEF of Noelle. Moreover, after killing an opponent, the duration of this ability will increase by a second (up to 10 seconds).
