Collei Sub-DPS and Support Builds

Dendro Reaction Sub-DPS

Best Weapon	Polar Star
Replacement Weapons	1. Aqua Simulacra 2. Elegy for the End 3. Favonius Warbow
Best Artifacts	Deepwood Memories x4
Main Stats	Sands: Energy Recharge or ATK% / Elemental Mastery
	Goblet: Dendro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Substats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, Elemental Mastery

This Collei Build is her highest damaging set for maximizing her Elemental Skill and Burst. Deepwood Memories also serves as a support set for Dendro characters.

As a Sub-DPS, Collei would need around +170% ER to use her burst off cooldown without characters like Raiden Shogun. Use either an ER weapon or Sands piece as you see fit! EM should only be considered if she can reliably trigger her own Dendro Reactions.

Burst Sub-DPS Build

Best Weapon	Polar Star
Replacement Weapons	1. Aqua Simulacra 2. Elegy for the End 3. Favonius Warbow
Best Artifacts	Emblem of Severed Fate x4
Main Stats	Sands: Energy Recharge or ATK% / Elemental Mastery
	Goblet: Dendro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Substats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, Elemental Mastery

This Sub-DPS Collei build focuses on maximizing her Elemental Burst DMG. The goal is to stack ER up to around 200%. This build trades more ER for slightly less damage and loses the debuff applied to enemies from the Deadwood set.

Burst Support Build

Best Weapon	Elegy for the End
Replacement Weapons	1. Favonius Warbow
Best Artifacts	Noblesse Oblige x4
Main Stats	Sands: Energy Recharge
	Goblet: Dendro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Substats	Energy Recharge, ATK%, Elemental Mastery

If you already have a Deadwood carrier in the party and want to further buff the party, then this Collei Support build is for you. This set sacrifices her personal DMG for more team-wide utility.

Collei Talent Priority

1st	2nd	3rd
Elemental Burst	Elemental Skill	Normal Attack

Collei's damage comes primarily from her Elemental Burst with her Elemental Skill following after. Her Normal Attacks aren't that strong, so it should be left for last.

Collei Best Team Comp

Best Party for Collei

Collei excels at the role of Sub-DPS. Her goal is to help teams by providing off-field Dendro damage.

Quicken Team Comp

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Tighnari	Collei	Fischl	Shinobu

This Collei Team Comp focuses on triggering Quicken reactions. Collei can support Tighnari with the Deepwood set while also providing decent damage for herself. Fischl, Shinobu, and Collei's off-field Elemental damage will help keep Quicken active on the enemies, which helps Tighnari to deal massive Spread-type damage!

Collei Burgeon Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Tartaglia	Collei	Traveler (Dendro)	Thoma

This Collei team comp focuses on creating Dendro Cores with a Hydro Main DPS and then triggering the Burgeon reaction with Thoma's Elemental Burst. Thoma will need an ER/EM/EM set for this build. Be careful not to set the Dendro Traveler's Lamp on fire!

F2P Collei Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Barbara	Collei	Traveler (Dendro)	Kaeya

This F2P-friendly team for Collei focuses on barbara's Hydro attacks to create Dendro Cores and freezing enemies to gurantee the Dendro Core's explosion damage. Kaeya can be replaced with Diona in this build. At C6, Diona provides a massive EM boost to all characters within her Burst field!

Collei Best Constellations

Leptailurus Cervarius

Constellation and Effects

	Collei's Constellations
C1	Deepwood Patrol When in the party and not on the field, Collei's Energy Recharge is increased by 20%
C2	Through Hill and Copse The Passive Talent Floral Sidewinder is changed to this: The Floral Ring will grant the character the Sprout effect from Floral Sidewinder upon return, dealing 40% of Collei's ATK as Dendro DMG to nearby opponents for 3s. From the moment of using Floral Brush to the moment when this instance of Sprout effect ends, if any of your party members triggers Burning, Quicken, Aggravate, Spread, Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon reactions, the Sprout effect will be extended by 3s. The Sprout effect can only be extended this way once. If another Sprout effect is triggered during its initial duration, the initial effect will be removed. Requires you to have unlocked the Floral Sidewinder Passive Talent.
C3	Scent of Summer Increases the Level of Floral Brush by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	Gift of the Woods Using Trump-Card Kitty will increase all nearby characters' Elemental Mastery by 60 for 12s (not including Collei herself).
C5	All Embers Increases the Level of Trump-Card Kitty by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	Forest of Falling Arrows When the Floral Ring hits opponents, it will create a miniature Cuilein-Anbar that will deal 200% of Collei's ATK as Dendro DMG. Each Floral Brush can only create one such miniature Cuilein-Anbar.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C1	★★☆	• A small but impactful effect that reduces Collei's Energy requirements.
C2	★★★	• Further increases Collei's off-field utility as a Sub-DPS.

C2 is a Good Stopping Point

Collei's 2nd Constellation lets you have additional Dendro Reaction procs which will help you set up more Dendro Reactions. It's an excellent tool if your Elemental Burst is still on Cooldown. With the effect's max duration of 6 seconds, it can cover nearly half of the downtime from her Elemental Burst!

Thoughts about Collei

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Cyno	I once helped Collei seal away in her body, but the process was an unthinkably painful one. To many, enduring that kind of pain would be a prospect more terrifying than death, so it was very admirable that she was able to persevere through it.
Faruzan	Ah, Collei... She's respectful toward her elders, diligent, and has a hard-working attitude — truly the perfect student! Children like her deserve all the affection and praise. Tighnari really has no reason to be as strict as he has been. Hmph... I need to find a way to win her over... Ahem! What I meant to say was, as a senior scholar, I should find ways to improve the learning environment of younger students.
Kaveh	I've met Collei quite a few times now. As Tighnari's student and assistant, she follows him everywhere. With her diligence and patience, she's much more responsible than most other kids her age. But, umm... I can also tell that she's got a lot going on inside.
Nahida	When I heard her story for the first time, her tenacity shone through like a dazzling gemstone. She's been through so much... I hope that just as the rainforest supports all kinds of life, Sumeru will always provide a safe and nurturing environment for her, so that she can grow up healthy and strong.
Nilou	She sometimes comes to watch my performances. She's a really hard-working Trainee Forest Ranger. One time, she warned me about getting lost. What did she mean by that? It's not like I've gotten lost before...
Tighnari	When that child was first brought here, she was effectively illiterate. It wasn't a huge issue, though. She's a hard worker and a diligent student, so she's made good progress. Still, her goal is to learn advanced medical techniques, so she still has a long way to go. She sometimes puts too much pressure on herself...Help her out when you can, would you? Consider it a favor for me as her mentor. Thanks a lot.

Collei's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Amber	About Amber Amber is amazing. She's friendly and has tons of enthusiasm, plus she's really brave and always does the right thing... She's the person I admire most of all! She's like a cozy fire that makes everyone around her feel warm. There's no way I'd be where I am today without her... So much time has gone by — I bet she's even more cool and confident than ever these days! Who knows if I'll ever be able to match her.
Cyno	About Cyno Um... I'd rather not talk about him, if that's okay? Oh, no — the General Mahamatra isn't a bad guy or anything. Matter of fact, I have him to thank for bringing me back from Mondstadt to Sumeru and finding me a safe place to stay. It's just that... whenever I'm reminded of the sealing process just before leaving Mondstadt... ooh... the back of my neck starts hurting again...
Dori	About Dori I ran into her once on forest ranger duty. She pulled out a bottle of fruit juice from her bag that looked really tasty, as if she somehow knew I was thirsty... Fortunately, Master was there, and he stopped me from spending all of my hard-earned Mora in a moment of weakness...
Fischl	About Fischl ...''Prinzessin der Verurteilung''? ... Mmm, nope, sorry. I wasn't in Mondstadt for very long, so I. didn't hear of her. That name, though... 'grimace'... Ahem, nothing.
Kaeya	About Kaeya How's everyone in Mondstadt, are they good? I caused so much trouble back then, I sometimes wonder if I should make some time to go back there and apologize... Hmm, but what if I ran into the Cavalry Captain, and he started teasing me? ... Yeah, there's no rush, maybe I'll leave it a while longer.
Kaveh	About Kaveh The General Mahamatra once brought him to our place for a meal. From the moment the fruit arrived on the table, he ranted non-stop about his difficult and stubborn roommate for the entire meal. We didn't get a single word in the whole time. We just nodded along and tried to stifle our laughter. It took a lot of effort.
Lisa	About Lisa After all this time, Lisa still calls me ''Little Collei'' when she writes to me. I feel like by now she... hmm? She calls you ''cutie''? Hahaha... Sorry, I don't mean to laugh, um... but I must say, that makes me feel a lot better.
Nahida	About Lesser Lord Kusanali The Dendro Archon... When I was a kid, there were so many times when I just wanted to scream out to the gods and ask them why, why did I have to go through so much pain...? 'sigh' But, for all I know, maybe the gods feel just as helpless about everything they have to endure as I did back then.
Nilou	About Nilou She seems a little absent-minded. If she ever comes to perform around Gandharva Ville, I'm worried she'll end up wandering off into the forest and getting lost... So I'll have to watch out for her, as a responsible forest ranger trainee should.
Tighnari	About Tighnari Although Master can be quite stern and is always criticizing adventurers for carelessly eating poisonous mushrooms, he is actually a gentle soul. He's so patient when he tutors me, and he even reads out letters from Mondstadt for me. I've always been very grateful to him.
