Alright, folks, let’s dive into my little experiment with Chlorinde’s weapons in Genshin Impact. I’ve been messing around with her for a while now, and I gotta say, figuring out the best weapon is a bit of a journey. So, buckle up, and let’s go through what I did.
First Steps: The Obvious Choices
First, I grabbed all the 5-star swords I had lying around. You know, the usual suspects. Things were looking pretty standard at this point. I figured, “Hey, higher base attack, probably better, right?”

I slapped them on Chlorinde and started hitting up some Hilichurls. I did some basic attacks, used her skill, her burst… the whole shebang. I even timed myself, just to get a feel for the damage output. No fancy spreadsheets, just good old-fashioned button-mashing and eyeballing the numbers.
Getting a Bit More Serious: 4-Star Contenders
After the 5-stars, I moved on to the 4-star weapons. I mean, we can’t all be whales, right? I had a few decent ones, like the Black Sword, and some others I’d picked up along the way.
- The Black Sword: I’ve always liked this one for the Crit Rate.
- Lions roar: Nice option, can provide more ATK.
I repeated the same process. Hilichurls, skill, burst, timers. I even started mixing in different artifact sets, just to see if anything really clicked with a particular weapon. This is where things got a bit more time-consuming, swapping weapons and artifacts back and forth. My inventory was a MESS.
The Grind: Refining and Comparing
Now, I’m not gonna lie, this is where it got a bit grindy. I started refining some of the 4-star weapons. You know, getting them to R2, R3… seeing if that refinement boost made a significant difference. I was constantly running out of enhancement ores. It was a whole thing.
I started paying closer attention to the actual damage numbers, not just the “feel.” I’d write down the numbers from her skill, her burst, and even try to estimate the damage from her coordinated attacks. It wasn’t super scientific, but it gave me a better idea of what was working and what wasn’t.

My Takeaway: It Depends!
After all this testing (and way too many Hilichurls slain), what did I learn? Well, the “best” weapon really depends on what you have and what you’re going * depends on your team,play style.
If you have a cracked 5-star, great! Use it! But if you’re rocking 4-stars, don’t despair. A well-refined 4-star, with the right stats, can definitely hold its own.
For me, I ended up liking Black * I also have some 5-stars, and they worked *’s all about finding what works best for your Chlorinde and your playstyle. Don’t be afraid to experiment! It’s a game, have fun with it!
