Clorinde's Bond of Life mechanic is central to her playstyle in Genshin Impact, allowing her to deal increased damage and benefit from healing multipliers when the Bond of Life value increases, while she also benefits from Electro-infusion for her normal Attacks. This mechanic not only makes her a formidable Electro character but also provides her with flexibility in team compositions. To fully harness her potential, Clorinde can equip a variety of top-tier 5-star weapons that elevate her critical stats and overall damage performance, ensuring she remains a powerhouse on the battlefield.

For players who prefer a more budget-friendly approach, there are also several strong 4-star weapon options that can effectively complement Clorinde's abilities. These weapons provide reliable boosts to her critical and attack stats, making her a valuable asset in any team without the need for the highest-tier investments. Whether opting for premium 5-star weapons or accessible 4-star alternatives, players can find suitable options to maximize Clorinde's potential and make the most of her Bond of Life mechanic, eventhough not many options actually particularly require Bond of Life at all, similar to how Arlecchino can also utilize many options that don't require utilizing this mechanic effectively.

8 Finale of the Deep

• Primary Stats: 565 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 27.5% ATK
• R5 Effect: When using an Elemental Skill, ATK will be increased by 24% for 15s, and a Bond of Life worth 25% of Max HP will be granted. This effect can be triggered once every 10s. When the Bond of Life is cleared, a maximum of 300 ATK will be gained based on 4.8% of the total amount of the Life Bond cleared, lasting for 15s.

This craftable F2P-friendly weapon is the best 4-star option except the Black sword, as it can give a decent amount of ATK through its secondary stat, as well as passive effect while also synergizing well with Clorinde's mechanics, providing a reliable source of increased attack power and compatibility with her Bond of Life mechanic.

• Primary Stats: 510 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 27.5% Crit Rate
• R5 Effect: Increases DMG dealt by Normal and Charged Attacks by 40%. Additionally, regenerates 100% of ATK as HP when Normal and Charged Attacks score a CRIT Hit. This effect can occur once every 5s.

As the best 4-star options, for those that purchase Battle Pass, this weapon increases Crit Rate and provides a healing effect on critical hits. While Clorinde can't typically heal herself with any other means than Impale the Night during her Night Vigil state, this healing will still be converted into a Bond of Life, making it a great option to increase her ATK even further while sustaining BoL.

6 Uraku Misugiri

• Primary Stats: 542 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 88.2% Crit DMG
• R1 Effect: Normal Attack DMG is increased by 16% and Elemental Skill DMG is increased by 24%. After a nearby active character deals Geo DMG, the aforementioned effects increase by 100% for 15s. Additionally, the wielder's DEF is increased by 20%.

While it may be Chiori's signature, Uraku Misugiri can work with Clorinde, given that she is paired with a Geo character that can deal DMG, since this will help her further with Normal ATK DMG significantly. While it also provides a solid Crit DMG value, counting as a good stat stick, comparing to the other 5-star options on this list, it lacks behind, since it reduces Clorinde's flexibility with rotation and team compositions to gain the full effect.

5 Primordial Jade Cutter

• Primary Stats: 542 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 44.1% Crit Rate
• R1 Effect: HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 1.2% of the wielder's Max HP.

Featuring a Crit Rate substat and an HP boost, this weapon increases Clorinde's survivability and attack power to some extend. The HP on its own might not be considered super useful, however since it converts to ATK Bonus, Clorinde can still benefit significantly from it. It's also worth noting that, while Bond of Life mechanic is tied to HP, it is based on a percentage, and does not scale higher with higher HP, so there isn't a significant synergy in regards to this mechanic.

4 Light of Foliar Incision

• Primary Stats: 542 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 88.2% Crit DMG
• R1 Effect: CRIT Rate is increased by 4%. After Normal Attacks deal Elemental DMG, the Foliar Incision effect will be obtained, increasing DMG dealt by Normal Attacks and Elemental Skills by 120% of Elemental Mastery. This effect will disappear after 28 DMG instances or 12s. You can obtain Foliar Incision once every 12s.

With a Crit DMG higher than her signature, Light of Foliar incision also works quite well for Clorinde beyond being a stat stick, not only increasing her Crit Rate, but also increasing Normal Attack DMG. However, this weapon only works optimal if Clorinde is built with EM, which in most instances will not work as great as ATK build on her. If players are planning an Aggravate build with Nahida and other allies that can increase her EM however, it can still work quite well.

3 Mistsplitter Reforged

• Primary Stats: 674 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 44.1% Crit DMG
• R1 Effect: Gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for all elements and receive the might of the Mistsplitter's Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, the Mistsplitter's Emblem provides a 8/16/28% Elemental DMG Bonus for the character's Elemental Type. The character will obtain 1 stack of Mistsplitter's Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals Elemental DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Burst (stack lasts 10s); Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full). Each stack's duration is calculated independently.

With its Crit DMG substat and elemental damage bonuses that stack with Elemental Energy usage, this weapon significantly boosts Clorinde's Electro damage, making her normal and Elemental Burst attacks more powerful. However, in order to make good use of this weapon, players might be more reliant on from battery characters like Fischl to have a good Energy management, despite Clorinde's overall energy requirement and Elemental Burst CD being relatively low. Mistsplitter Reforged also has same Primary and Secondary stat values, making it a solid option without needing to invest in different artifacts or unflexible team compositions.

2 Haran Geppakku Futsu

• Primary Stats: 608 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 33.1% Crit Rate
• R1 Effect: Obtain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. When other nearby party members use Elemental Skills, the character equipping this weapon will gain 1 Wavespike stack. Max 2 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0.3s. When the character equipping this weapon uses an Elemental Skill, all stacks of Wavespike will be consumed to gain Rippling Upheaval: each stack of Wavespike consumed will increase Normal Attack DMG by 20% for 8s.

This weapon boosts Crit Rate and provides an Elemental DMG, as well as Normal ATK DMG bonus bonus, making it a strong choice for increasing Clorinde's Overall DPS. It's effect is easily maintainable with characters that can often proc their Elemental Skill DMG, such as Fischl, Yae Miko or Nahida. However, players should be cautious about over-investing in Crit Rate when using this weapon, as Clorinde already benefits from Crit Rate ascension, and too much can reduce the overall value compared to balancing Crit Rate and Crit DMG.

1 Absolution

• Primary Stats: 674 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 44.1% Crit DMG
• R1 Effect: CRIT DMG increased by 20%. Increasing the value of a Bond of Life increases the DMG the equipping character deals by 16% for 6s. Max 3 stacks.

Being Clorinde's signature weapon, Absolution is also the best option for her, as it provides perfect synergy with her kit. with a Crit DMG substat and further enhancement of this stat with its passive effect, helping significantly with building some Crit DMG for her. It's also one of the few options that actually benefits from increasing her Bond of Life value, as this will further increase her DMG, while being an easily maintainable condition for Clorinde specifically.
