Genshin Impact: Here's what the leaks say about the new character, Clorinde

Clorinde, the upcoming character in Genshin Impact, has stirred excitement among fans eagerly awaiting her arrival. While leaks have provided glimpses into her abilities and characteristics, it's essential to keep in mind that this information may be subject to change. Here's an overview of what's known so far:

Release Date: As of now, there hasn't been an official announcement regarding Clorinde's release date. Players will need to stay tuned for updates from miHoYo for confirmation on when she will join the game.

Abilities: Clorinde is expected to bring a unique set of abilities to the game, tailored to her role as a dedicated police officer. These abilities may include crowd control, area-of-effect attacks, or support skills to assist her allies.

Clorinde's abilities in Genshin Impact provide her with a unique playstyle focused on Electro-infused attacks and the utilization of the "Bond of Life" mechanic. Here's a breakdown of her abilities and talents based on the leaked information:

1. Basic Attack: Clorinde performs five rapid strikes that deal physical damage, allowing her to quickly engage enemies in combat.

2. Elemental Skill - Night Patrol: Clorinde infuses her attacks with Electro energy, entering a "Night Patrol" state for nine seconds. During this time, her basic attacks switch to gunlance shooting, known as "Rapid Hunt," which deals damage and heals Clorinde based on the Bond of Life mechanic. This skill also allows her to fire ammunition that pierces through enemies and perform a dash strike. Cooldown: 16 seconds.

3. Elemental Burst: Clorinde's Elemental Burst has a cooldown of 15 seconds and costs 60 energy. It grants the Bond of Life mechanic, which deals damage based on 120% of Clorinde's maximum health.

Element: While specific details about Clorinde's element are yet to be confirmed, speculation suggests that she may wield the Hydro element, fitting her role in maintaining order in the nation of Hydro.

1. First Talent: When characters nearby in the team trigger an Electro-related reaction, it increases the damage of Clorinde’s basic attacks and her Burst by 17% for 15 seconds. This effect can stack up to three times.

2. Second Talent: If Clorinde’s Bond of Life is equal to or higher than 100% of her maximum health, her critical rate increases by 10% whenever her Bond of Life increases or decreases. This enhancement lasts for 15 seconds.

3. Third Talent: Displays the location of nearby resources unique to Fontaine on the mini-map, providing players with valuable information for exploration and resource gathering.

These abilities and talents suggest that Clorinde excels in dealing Electro damage, sustaining herself in combat through healing, and providing utility to her team through increased critical rate and resource location assistance.

Here's a breakdown of her constellations and how they affect her gameplay:

1. C1 - Night Patrol: During the "Night Patrol" state, Clorinde's basic attacks summon "Shadows of the Night Patrol" near the enemy to perform two cooperative attacks, dealing 30% attack multiplier as basic attack damage.

2. C2 - Enhanced Vigilance: Increases the damage bonus from her first Talent from 17% to 24% and increases Clorinde's disruption resistance.

3. C3 - Vigilant Eye: Increases the level of Clorinde's Elemental Skill by three points, enhancing its effectiveness.

4. C4 - Enhanced Bond: When Clorinde's Burst deals damage based on her current Bond of Life, it increases the damage by 2% up to a maximum of 200%, allowing for greater damage potential.

5. C5 - Enhanced Patrol: Increases the level of Clorinde's Burst by three points, further enhancing its power and effectiveness.

6. C6 - Guardian of Fontaine: Within 12 seconds after using her Elemental Skill, Clorinde's Critical Rate and Damage increase by 70%. Additionally, during the "Night Patrol" state, Clorinde's damage taken is reduced by 80% and her disruption resistance is increased, making her much more durable and deadly in combat.

Appearance: Clorinde's design is likely to reflect her occupation as a police officer, featuring a uniform or attire that complements her role in law enforcement.

It's worth noting that leaks are not always accurate, and miHoYo may make changes to characters and their abilities before their official release. As such, fans should approach leaked information with caution and await official announcements for the most accurate details about Clorinde and other upcoming characters in Genshin Impact.
