My Chiori experience - aesthetics and expectations. Genshin Character Review!

From the moment I saw Chiori, just based on aesthetics and personality alone, I knew I had to get her.

However, now that she’s here, I have mixed feelings.

As someone who loves all the characters her gameplay has similarities with, it was pretty obvious that I’d love actually playing as her. But while there are a lot of positives, there are some negatives too, and she’s not quite what I had hoped for.

There are also some key details where my experience is very different to the general consensus on her that I’ve seen so far.

Let’s review her story, kit, build, and playstyle, and see if I can find a place for her in my teams.

I'm happy to see a content creator actually speaking positively about her. I got her C1 (so she could do more damage alongside Navia) and her weapon. I find her extremely fun to play, and with good artifacts, she does great damage. Also, what a stuning character design 🧡💛

[sketchysketches]

I like your take on Chiori and it's nice to hear some positivity about her especially from such a lovely voice. I just wish she did something more for my roster besides powercreeping my Albedo. My motivation for picking a character alongside a fun personality/design is opening up varying playstyles or adding utility to my roster. Playing a different way or a team I've never tried and revamping older teams or characters to make them more viable is what I look for the most. I wish she did something that I couldn't just slot Albedo in because she's quite lovely

[raptori]

I probably should have skipped her, since I don't really have any other geo characters built... but she's fantastic with Zhongli, and it's a great excuse to finally build Noelle too! So much fun to play.

Great review !! I also was waiting for her since the 4.3 event and after maintenance I pulled for her and her signature weapon without hesitation. I love her playstyle and her switch part on her kit it feels very smooth for me. I’m currently using her with Ningguang, Furina and Zhongli.

[kimarimoi]

Some fun facts: Chiori is the only character who cares what order your party members are in (because of the auto-switch), and the only way to swap characters in midair. She's also the only character with a movement speed passive that isn't restricted by time of day.

C1 doesn't seem worth it even for Navia teams, you can either run something like Navia/Yelan/Zhongli/Chiori (Z's res shred makes up for the -20% attack, especially if Navia has an atk% weapon, and I don't feel like two element appliers is necessary to get enough crystallizes) or just not worry about the missing doll and use her to generate geo energy.

[TjYau]

Like you with her attitude/personal/style she is EXACTLY like this girl i'm sorta seeing in real life, I knew it was meant to be. I saved from Bird retainer banner and got Chiori on my first 10 pull (0 pity/no guarantee) 40 pulls later got C1, then I rolled on weapon banner (7 pity) got Uraku Misugiri on first 10 pull. Now she is with my Navia c0/r1 team and its perfect. Shes a huge upgrade and way more fun than Ningguang/Geo traveler. Im f2p i had 73 wishes left over and got Jean c1 for my ayaka team now losing the 50/50 going for c2

[zanzatbc]

Finally a content creator that isn’t blind to what a great unit chiori is. I agree her burst would have been better if it had some sort of team buff, but overall she’s fantastic. I’m certainly biased because I play geo a lot, but overall an off field dps with those numbers on their scalings shouldn’t be scoffed at.

[katierat]

Lost a surprise early pity guarantee trying to wrap up my four stars with Goro. So she's literally the only five-star geo I own. So none of the teams in the vid would be viable for me. But! I'm excited to use all the knowledge provided here to try her out with the four-star geo folks I've got. It might not be an abyss-worthy team, but we'll see. Might even push me to wish for Zhongli on his next rerun. I do love a good sheilder.
Thanks for all your testing so that we don't have to!

[darylewalker]

Even if Chiori’s C0 scaling isn’t that much worse than her C1 scaling, I don’t like that this is the third 4.x Limited unit with a scummy bait C1.

[bangtanssera]

I got chiori for of course my bias factor - she's so easy to be loved idk - but also for my c1 itto team and gosh she works superiorly with him, literally tailor-made to be there

[theclassiestcass]

once again another excellent video!!! thank you so much for your dedicated insight and experience! 💜

[SignOne]

Try Venti Albedo Chiori Bennett (this was my team order) in the first half of the current 4.5 abyss. It's surprisingly strong. Was my fastest 12-2-1 team that I have access to. You use Bennett after Chiori E to burst and swap back to burst on buffed Chiori. Venti + Albedo bursts is just awesome against many mobs

[johndeemer]

Awesome vid. Loved your dialog on this whole video^^

[yptrumpet]

Thanks for another great video! I've been sick lately, and in feverish dreams I agonized over whether to pull for her and her weapon banner or not lol.

[Jacobturtle]

Saurusness is the most wholesome person ever

[TheOgEliza]

I do think that it is good to actually think about which charachters to wish for, since if not using all your money, it is hard to be able to get everyone. But I still think that we should be wishing more with our hearts like you did with Chiroi! Loving the design and the charachter should be enough proof to get one😊

[oraclethegr]

Another great video! I agreed with a lot of not all of it

Happy that I got her and her weapon

[camilovonhresvelg]

I play her as a main/sub DPS with Albedo, Gorou & Kokomi! It's surprisingly cohesive & powerful team!

[remixtheidiot]

i can relate to that pull story right now, lol.
xianyun and chiori were on my sights but both of them really wanted to play hard to get as they both took me the FULL 180 pulls to get. leaving my pathetic little f2p self with a c2 tighnari and not much else left for anything else i might have wanted.

rip my chances of getting daddy arlecchino.

[Kalagni]

She is amazing! Especially with DPS that have amazing scaling like Arlle. Arlle, CEO of Geo, Benny Boy and her are amazing. Flexible and can brute force abyss if the floor that don't have Pyro slime or Pyro shield. Very study to! I call this team "Adamantine".
