The tiniest and most explosive Knight is Genshin Impact’s Klee, and she is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. She’s a five-star, pyro, catalyst character that is easy to build and easy to use. We’ll run you through the best Genshin Klee build, featuring which weapons and artifacts to use on this page.

Here’s our Genshin Impact’s Klee build to get the best out of them pint-sized pyromaniac.
What’s the best Genshin Impact Klee build?
| Best weapon | Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds |
| Weapon substitutes | The Widsith, Skyward Atlas |
| Best artifact set | Crimson Witch of Flames, Gladiator’s Finale |
| Main stats | Sands – Attack Goblet – Pyro damage bonus Circlet – Crit rate/damage |
| Sub stats | Attack, crit rate, crit damage |
Klee makes for a great DPS, especially in a burgeon or mono-pyro team. In terms of weaponry, Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds and the Widsith take the top spots, and you’re going to need plenty of attack, pyro damage boost, and crit rate/damage stats on Klee’s artifact selection.
A mono-pyro team has to be the easiest team comp to play her with, though anything allowing for burgeon or overcharged works wonders – Genshin Impact’s Nahida is a must for this type of team.
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 is 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.
| Weapon | Effect | How to obtain |
| Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds (five-star) | Bonus effect: Increases 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 and Chronicled Wish banner |
| The Widsith (four-star) | Bonus effect: Increases 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:

All banners |
| Skyward Atlas (five-star) | Bonus effect: Increases 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 and Chronicled Wish banner |
| Solar Pearl (four-star) | Bonus effect: Increases 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 Klee artifacts?
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.
| Artifact set | Effect | How to obtain |
| Crimson Witch of Flames | Two equipped: Pyro damage bonus Four equipped: 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). |

What are Klee’s constellations?
Each of Klee’s constellations boosts the power of her moves. You can level these up each time you receive Klee as a duplicate when making a wish – which is quite easy now, given the new Chronicled Wish banner has her as one of the six available five-star characters.
| Constellation | Effect |
| C1: Chained Reaction | Klee’s attacks have a chance to summon a spark that deals damage equal to 120% of her ultimate – Sparks n’ Splash – damage |
| C2: Explosive Frags | If enemies get hit by Jumpy Dumpty’s mines, their defense decreases by 23% for ten seconds |
| C3: Exquisite Compound | Increases the level of Klee’s elemental skill, Jumpy Dumpty, by three |

| C5: Nova Burst | Increases the level of Klee’s elemental burst, Sparks ‘n’ Splash, by three |
| C6: Blazing Delight | While under the effects of Sparks ‘n’ Splash, other party members will continuously regenerate energy. When Sparks ‘n’ Splash is used, the party gains a 10% pyro damage bonus for 25 seconds |
What are Klee’s ascension materials?
