Meet Kirara: The Dendro Courier from Inazuma
Kirara is a 4-star Dendro character from Inazuma in Genshin Impact. She became a courier for the Komaniya Express after being encouraged to find a job by Yae Miko. Her expertise in martial arts enables her to overcome any hurdle while making her deliveries.
Abilities
Kirara’s Elemental Skill is the Meow-teor Kick, which deploys a Dendro shield while performing a slashing kick that deals Elemental damage. By holding down the button, she enters the Urgent Neko Parcel mode, which augments her speed, agility, and jumping ability while causing Dendro DMG to any enemies she collides with. The shield remains active during this time and can be used to protect her from incoming attacks.
Her Burst, Surprise Dispatch, delivers a bomb package to the enemy, which explodes and causes AoE Dendro DMG. The package separates into cat grass cardamoms that detonate either on impact or after a fixed duration.
Kirara’s exploration talent, Cat’s Creeping Carriage, prevents small animals from getting agitated or fleeing in her presence, which allows players to capture more wildlife while exploring Inazuma.
Builds
Kirara’s shield scales off her HP, but her primary source of damage originates from ATK. Building her as either a Shielder or a DPS relies on your preferences. The type of artifacts you choose will be contingent on your role.
For the Shielder role, you can use two pieces of Tenacity of the Millelith and Vourukasha’s Glow to enhance her HP, resulting in a 40% boost. You can also opt for Retracing Bolide to amplify her shield strength.
On the other hand, Kirara’s DPS build focuses on the ‘Bloom Driver,’ which relies on her EM to increase the damage of Bloom/Bountiful Cores. With a Hydro applicator like Barbara or Nilou, holding the Elemental Skill button and making Kirara run around enemies creates detonations. This build can use the 4-set Deepwood Memories or Flower of Paradise Lost. If you possess the Key of Khaj-Nisut, you can opt for the 2-set Tenacity and Glow, increasing your EM percentage by HP.
Weapons
In Genshin Impact, Kirara doesn’t have any exclusive signature weapons. The event-exclusive weapon is a bow, which is incompatible with her. However, these are the top picks recommended for her use:
– The Key of Khaj-Nisut
– Favonius Sword
– Sacrificial Sword
– Iron Sting
– Sapwood Blade
Kirara’s Backstory
Kirara was born in the harsh wilderness of Inazuma. She survived by hunting fish and birds while observing human behavior from afar. During one particularly cold winter, Kirara sought solace in a house, where she discovered a comfortable box. She curled up to sleep and woke up later to find an elderly lady knitting nearby. After Kathryne recognized Kirara’s presence, she offered her a bowl of nekomanma, which blazed Kirara’s taste buds with new sensations. The kitten felt secure enough to continue staying inside with Kathryne, knitting sweaters for old cats.
However, one winter, when Kathryne went missing, Kirara transformed into a Yokai and searched for clues in the city. She discovered a group of men conversing with Kathryne and intervened, divulging her newfound shape-shifting persona, leading to a conversation about job security. Kirara then landed a job as a courier for Komaniya Express, where she would travel the lands and see different sights.
Final Words
Kirara is a rare specimen in Genshin Impact, combining elements of martial arts techniques with reliable courier services. Her versatility and combat role make her an excellent addition to any team.
