Talent Priority:

  • His normal attack does not go up.

  • His elemental skill should be leveled up as much as possible.

  • His elemental burst should also be leveled up as much as possible.

The ideal setup would be 1/9/9 in terms of Talents.

Constellation Recommendation:

  • His C4 is one of the best since it allows him to heal the team.

  • His C6 is the most powerful since it grants Geo Crit DMG.

Video Summary

Gorou Build Guide

Gorou is a specialized Geo support character whose primary role is to enhance the damage of Geo-focused teams. This Gorou build focuses on maximizing his utility through specific energy requirements and defense scaling to support powerful Geo carries.

Best Weapons

  • Favonius Warbow: This is the premier choice for Gorou because it provides significant Energy Recharge and generates extra particles. It helps meet high energy requirements while acting as a battery for the entire Geo team.
  • Sacrificial Bow: This weapon allows Gorou to reset his Elemental Skill cooldown, providing more flexibility in rotations. It is a solid alternative for maintaining high uptime on his buffs when Favonius is unavailable for the team.
  • Elegy for the End: Use this five-star bow to provide a massive Elemental Mastery and Attack buff to the whole party. It is an excellent choice for increasing overall team damage in compositions that utilize elemental reactions.

Best Artifacts

  • Husk of Opulent Dreams: This is the best set for maximizing Gorou's defense and healing capabilities, especially once he reaches C4. It provides the necessary scaling to improve his personal survivability and the strength of his supportive buffs.
  • Noblesse Oblige: This set is recommended for increasing total rotation damage when Gorou is below C4. It provides a valuable Attack buff to all teammates after using his Elemental Burst, making him a more versatile support.

Teams and Stat Priorities

  • For stat priorities, focus on reaching 170% to 180%+ Energy Recharge to ensure Burst uptime, while aiming for 1800 to 3000 Defense and 40% to 50% CRIT Rate to trigger Favonius procs.
  • Triple Geo Team: This core features Itto, Gorou, and Albedo with a flexible fourth slot like Raiden Shogun or Fischl. This composition maximizes Gorou's passive buffs which scale based on the number of Geo members present.
  • Noelle Main DPS Team: Pair Gorou with Noelle and Albedo or Yun Jin to create a powerful defensive and offensive engine. Gorou provides the necessary defense buffs that Noelle needs to maximize her damage during her Burst state.
