Dendro, the seventh element and vision, is finally coming to Genshin Impact. Collei is the first 4-star character with the element, and just like Tighnari she’s a bow user. This Collei Best Build Guide explains how to get Collei’s Ascension Materials and what her best weapons are.
As with new characters, you’ll need the correct ascension materials, Talent books and Artifacts to get the best use out of Collei. Unfortunately, since Sumeru is a brand new island coming to Genshin Impact, almost all of Collei’s materials will come from the new island. But fear not because there are still ways you can prepare for this arrival with Artifacts and Weapons available right now.
