Last updated Today at 11:00by Shikhu

Key of Khaj-Nisut is Kirara's best weapon, helping to maximiseher shield strength and also increasing Elemental Mastery for the party.Other good weapons include Sapwood Blade and The Dockhand's Assistant.Alternatively, Favonius Sword is an option to ease Energy Rechargerequirements however Kirara does not have extremely high requirements thatmay force an Energy generating weapon unlike some characters.

Kirara's best artifact set can depend. Deepwood Memories is anincredibly useful artifact set for Dendro teams andsomeone in the team should wear it, ideally a support character. That beingsaid, Kirara can not easily guarantee full uptime on Deepwood's effects.

Outside of that run either 2 Piece Vourukasha's Glow and Tenacity of the Millelith to maximise shield strength or you canuse Instructor for the Elemental Mastery buffs.

With regards to substats, Kirara wants enough Energy Recharge toconsistently burst and HP % for her shield strength. This will be around150 - 170% if she is the only Dendro character, or around 120% ifthere are 2 Dendro characters.

Kirara's Elemental Skill Meow-teor Kick has differenteffects and gameplay benefits depending on if you press or hold the Skill.

• Press deals Dendro DMG in front ofKirara while generating a Shield called a "Shield of Safe Transport" basedon her HP.
• Hold creates a Shield of Safe Transport andturns Kirara into a Urgent Neko Parcel which dealsDendro DMG to opponents when she collides with them. With Bewitching, Betwitching Tails (A1), the Parcel state willalso create up to 3 additional shields.

Any Shield of Safe Transport generated can stack with the remaining DMGabsorption of the current shield that she has.

Urgent Neko Parcel has a few limitations which may beworth keeping in mind. Kirara must be moving to actually deal DMG andapply Dendro and will also consume stamina faster whileclimbing. She also can not perform Plunging Attacks in this state.Kirara will automatically leave the Parcel state if she opens a wind glider orfalls too fast.

Kirara is often played in Dendro teams such asQuicken, Hyperbloom andBloom teams.

Alternatively, Kirara can also beplayed in more general teams where she simply focuses on shielding.Because she has low off-field Dendro application, she will rarelyinterfere in other Elemental Reactions.

Kirara can be a great teammate for Sethos with hershielding making Charged Attacks easier for Sethos. Characters such asSucrose and Kaedehara Kazuha help massivelywith both crowd control and grouping for Charged Attacks.

In this Nilou-centric team, Kirara provides bothshielding and Dendro application. That being said, she willnot apply enough Dendro on her own. Characters such asNahida and Alhaitham help to provide enoughDendro application. Sangonomiya Kokomi is the best supportive optiondue to having great Hydro application as well as powerfulhealing to support the Bloom reaction damage.Barbara can be used in a more budget situation orXingqiu who has increased Hydro application but muchweaker defensive utility.

Kirara often pairs well with DPS such as Tighnari andKeqing who adopt a more quickswap-style gameplay due to Kirara's12s cooldown on her shielding. The first example focusing more onAggravate while the second teaminstead focuses more on Spread.

Hyperbloom team compositions can be great for Kirara.That being said, she does not provide enough Dendro applicationon her own and therefore requires another Dendro character to assist withElemental reactions. Characters such as Alhaitham or anon-field Nahida help with this. Kuki Shinobuis generally the best Electro characterfor Hyperbloom reactions although the healing may notbe needed. This allows you to run Raiden Shogun in this teamand Kuki in a different team.
