What’s the best Genshin Impact Klee build?
Klee is a five-star character who uses a catalyst weapon and the pyro element.
| Rarity | ★★★★★ |
| Element | Pyro |
| Weapon | Catalyst |
| Best weapon | Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds |
| Substitute weapons | The Widsith, Skyward Atlas |
| Best artifact set | Crimson Witch of Flames and Gladiator’s Finale |
| Main stats | Sands: Attack Goblet: Pyro damage bonus Circlet: Crit damage/rate |
| Sub-stats | Crit damage/rate, attack, energy recharge |
Klee makes for a great DPS, especially in a burgeon, burning, or mono-pyro team. In terms of weaponry, Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds and the Widsith take the top spots, but mainly you’re going to need plenty of attack, pyro damage boost, and crit rate/damage stats on your weapon and for Klee’s artifact selection. Her kit doesn’t scale off anything in particular, so you need to build all of her stats, which can be hard to accomplish.
A mono-pyro team has to be the easiest team comp to play her with, though anything allowing for burgeon or vape works wonders – Genshin Impact’s Nahida or Genshin Impact Furina are musts for her teams.
How do I use Klee?
Klee is going to be your main DPS, and as such, you should keep her on the field as much as you can – she has little to no off-field use. She has plenty of mobility and animation cancels to speed her up as you throw out her normal attack and elemental skills, and her charged attacks have the potential to deal tons of damage.
She’s an amazing unit when in capable hands and paired up with the right team (mostly including Genshin Impact’s Bennett), but she can certainly take some getting used to and can be outshone by other pyro characters.
What are the best Klee weapons?
Despite being a five-star unit, Klee doesn’t have a signature weapon that runs alongside her in banners. Therefore, her best-in-slot is up for some debate. The two five-star catalysts that can be gained from the standard banner are both very helpful for her; Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds adds a good chunk to her crit rate and makes her quicker in battle, whereas the Skyward Atlas will up her attack.
The Widsith is easily the best four-star choice, and the best overall pick if you’ve got it at refinement rank five. Solar Pearl, obtained through the battle pass, is another great four-star choice due to its high damage, crit rate boost, and synergy with Klee’s A4 passive. The main drawback with Solar Pearl is that it buffs everything but her charged attacks, which are an important part of her kit.
| Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds | Stat: Crit rate Skill: Increases Klee’s movement speed by 10%. When in battle, she earns an elemental damage bonus every four seconds. Max four stacks. This lasts until Klee falls or leaves combat. |
Standard banner |
| The Widsith | Stat: Crit damage Skill: When Klee takes to the field, she gains a random theme song for ten seconds. This can only occur once every 30 seconds. Here are the different songs:-Recitative – Increases attack -Aria – Increases elemental damage -Interlude – Increases elemental mastery |
All banners |
| Skyward Atlas | Stat: Attack Skill: Increases elemental damage bonus by 12%. Normal attack hits have a 50% chance to earn the Favor of the Clouds, which actively seeks out nearby enemies to attack for 15 seconds, dealing 160% attack damage. |
Standard banner |
| Solar Pearl | Stat: Crit rate Skill: Normal attacks increase Klee’s elemental skill and elemental burst damage by 20% for six seconds. Elemental skill or elemental burst attacks increase normal attack damage by 20% for six seconds. |

What are the best artifacts for Klee?
The best universal artifact set for Klee is a combination of two Crimson Witch of Flames with an attack bonus two-piece. For the attack pieces, you can either go with Gladiator’s Finale or Shimenawa’s Reminiscence, which allows you to pick the two with the best stats and sub-stats while also providing her with both attack and pyro damage bonuses.
A full set of Crimson Witch of Flames is also a great choice, especially for reaction builds, as its pyro damage boost really helps her bring the pain when combined with her Jumpty Dumpty charges. Of course, this set can be quite tricky to get good stats and substats on, though, so you might need a lick of luck from the RNG archons.
| Crimson Witch of Flames | Two pieces: Pyro damage bonus Four pieces: Increases overloaded and burning damage by 40% and vaporize and melt damage by 15%. Using an elemental skill increases the two-piece set effect by 50% for ten seconds (maximum of three stacks) |
Obtain from the Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula domain |
| Gladiator’s Finale | Two pieces: Attack increase |
Obtain from world and weekly bosses, Gladiator’s Finale artifact strongbox |
| Shimenawa’s Reminiscence | Two pieces: Attack increase | Obtain from the Momiji-Dyed Court domain |

What are the best Klee team comps?
Klee, as a main DPS, benefits from teammates who shield, heal, and buff her, along with adding other elements to create reactions. The best teams for Klee are mono-pyro with Xiangling and Bennett, or vape with Furina and Bennett, but there are other options.
Five-star Emilie can boost your reaction damage as her kit is centered on burning damage, especially when paired with Nahida. A personal favorite is a trio of small girls – Klee, Nahida, and Furina – with Baizhu for a really reaction-heavy team. In a burn team, you can use Nahida, Xiangling, or Bennett with Klee and Emilie, along with Baizhu to add dendro and provide healing.
Kazuha is the best option for an anemo teammate for Klee, as his skill can pick up Klee’s dodoco bombs and keep them near enemies.
