Base Stats

Noelle is a 4-star Geo character in Genshin Impact who wields a Claymore. She is available to all players for free through the Beginner's Wish Banner. She can be played as an on-field DPS with solid personal damage output, while also providing the team with shields and healing. Alternatively, she can serve as a support by equipping the 4-piece Archaic Petra set to offer buffs to the entire team. Lore-wise, she is affiliated with the Knights of Favonius as a maid and resides in Mondstadt.

Noelle's Tier & Rating

What Kind of Character is Noelle?

Noelle is an On-Field Geo DPS who uses her Elemental Burst to deal damage and provide teamwide healing. She can use her Normal Attacks or Charged Attacks while in her Burst state to deal decent amounts of Geo damage over a wide AoE.

Noelle becomes a better main DPS with more investment into her Constellations, weapon, and supports. Because she's a 4-star, her personal damage can be underwhelming in comparison to a 5-star DPS, but she can still deliver a decent performance if you have all the right pieces for it.

Noelle's Roles, Playstyle, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Noelle as a Geo DPS and Healer

Noelle is designed to be an on-field character, as her healing is tied to her attacks during her Elemental Burst. However, her ability to condense both damage and healing into a single character brings valuable flexibility to the team.

Pros and Cons of Geo DPS Noelle

Best Build for Noelle

Noelle is an On-Field Geo DPS who converts her DEF stat into ATK. She is a flexible unit that can fit into many teams, as she can act as both a healer and an on-field damage dealer.

Stat Goals For On-Field DPS Noelle

Noelle struggles with generating Energy on her own, so it is recommended to prioritize Energy Recharge on her artifacts. This is to ensure that she can use her Elemental Burst every rotation, which is her main source of damage. After reaching the desired ER stat, you can then focus on offensive stats that her kit benefits from, such as CRIT and DEF%.

Best Weapon for Noelle

Noelle ideally wants weapons that substantially increase her DEF, but she also benefits from any CRIT-focused claymore with a generic ATK% passive.

Premium Weapons for Noelle

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best	Redhorn Stonethresher	Get from Limited Banner - The CRIT DMG secondary stat makes it much easier to build an ideal CRIT ratio. - Its passive also provides a DEF bonus, which Noelle can easily trigger and maintain.
2nd	Serpent Spine	Get from Battle Pass - A CRIT Rate claymore that increases both damage dealt and damage taken through a stacking mechanic. - Since Noelle has a shield, she can easily maintain at least 3-4 stacks at all times.
3rd	Verdict	Get from Limited Banner - While it provides ATK% and Skill DMG, it mainly functions as a CRIT stat-stick for Noelle, as its passive isn't particularly beneficial for her.
4th	Skyward Pride	Get from Banner - The ER secondary stat helps Noelle meet her Energy requirements. - The additional damage from its passive isn't very impactful, so this claymore is only a viable option if your artifacts already provide enough CRIT and DEF.

Since Arataki Itto is also a DEF-scaling Geo Claymore DPS, it makes sense that his signature weapon is also Noelle's best-in-slot. There are no other 5-star CRIT claymores that provide a DEF% bonus, making Redhorn a highly recommended weapon to pull for. However, other CRIT claymores are still viable options.

Free-to-Play Friendly (F2P Weapons) for Noelle

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best F2P	Whiteblind	Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon - Its secondary stat provides DEF%, and its passive grants stacking DEF% and ATK% bonuses when Normal or Charged Attacks hit.
2nd (Forge)	Tidal Shadow	Craftable (Forgeable) Weapon - Grants an ATK% bonus after the wielder is healed. Noelle can easily trigger this passive since she heals the active character while her Elemental Burst is active.

By far, Noelle's best F2P option is Whiteblind, as it provides her with a substantial amount of DEF%. It's also easily obtainable since it can be forged early in the game.

Noelle Best Artifacts

Noelle also wants mostly offensive, damage-oriented artifact sets. See below for our recommendations:

Artifact	Recommendation Details
Husk of Opulent Dreams	★★★★★ - Noelle's best generalist set. It provides a lot of DEF% from a full 4-piece set. - Notably, the stacks from the 4-piece effect happen even when the equipping character is not On-Field, allowing you to maintain the DEF-giving stacks every rotation.
Marechaussee Hunter	★★★★★ - A set that provides a generous amount of CRIT Rate, so long as the equipping character's HP% fluctuates constantly within a short period of time. - Best option when you play her with Furina, whose HP drain mechanic easily enables the 4-piece effect, which is synergistic with Noelle's ability to heal with her Burst.
Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods	★★★★・ - Provides ATK% on the 2-piece set, which is still viable on Noelle since she converts her DEF to ATK. - Noelle gains a lot of Geo DMG% with this set, especially if you trigger Crystallize reactions.
Gladiator's Finale	★★★・・ - A decent ATK%-based set that can act as a temporary measure until you're able to farm decent 4-piece sets for Noelle.

Artifact Stat Priority

	Main: Flat HP Sub: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / DEF% / Energy Recharge
	Main: Flat ATK Sub: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / DEF% / Energy Recharge
	Main: DEF% Sub: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Energy Recharge / ATK%
	Main: Geo DMG Bonus Sub: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / DEF% / Energy Recharge
	Main: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG Sub: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / DEF% / Energy Recharge

Focus On Her ER Requirements

Most of Noelle's damage comes from her Elemental Burst, and due to her naturally low Energy generation, Noelle requires a lot of Energy Recharge in order to reliably get her Burst up every rotation, despite being an On-Field DPS. It's recommended to focus on reaching her desired ER stat first before moving on to other stats.

Best Team Comp Noelle

Noelle Lunar-Charged Team

DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Noelle	Columbina	Ineffa	Xilonen
Details
- Noelle pairs well with the strong Columbina and Ineffa core, as her flexible kit has no strict team requirements. - Columbina and Ineffa provide the majority of the team's DPS, with Ineffa greatly benefiting from Columbina's Lunar-Charged reaction buffs. - Xilonen shreds Geo RES since the team has two PHEC (Pyro, Hydro, Electro, and Cryo) characters.

Noelle makes for a great On-Fielder for Columbina and Ineffa since she also doubles as a healer. This team also spawns Moondrifts from the Lunar-Crystallize reaction, providing an additional source of damage. This team is also very comfy due to the abundance of healing from both Xilonen and Noelle.

Other Team Comps For Noelle

Noelle Lunar-Crystallize Team

Team		Detail
Noelle	Furina	- Columbina enables the conversion of Crystallize to Lunar-Crystallize, while also contributing her own DPS. - Furina provides a DMG% buff that benefits Noelle, but it does not affect the Lunar-Crystallize damage. - Illuga's buffs only apply to direct Lunar-Crystallize damage, so he won't buff Noelle's personal DPS. He is included to provide Ascendant Gleam and Geo Resonance.

Noelle's Team Rotations and Combos

Basic Team Rotation for On-Field DPS Noelle

Noelle's gameplay boils down to utilizing her Normal Attacks while her Burst is active. Dashing after the 3rd Normal Attack allows you to avoid the longer animations, but holding down her Normal Attack to spam her spinning Charged Attack is also an option, especially against groups of enemies or in multi-target situations.

Basics of Using Noelle (Beginner Guide)

Flexible On-Field Geo DPS

Noelle is a Geo On-Field Claymore DPS whose Elemental Burst is not only the main source of her damage, but also provides teamwide healing that lets her flex into a lot of comps that don't have strict teambuilding requirements.

DPS That Can Sustain with Burst

Noelle's Elemental Burst is her primary source of damage, but her ability to sustain the entire team while in her Burst state showcases her versatility. However, because she doesn't generate Energy particles easily, giving her enough Energy Recharge via artifacts is essential for her personal damage. Additionally, her Burst is one of the few special states that doesn't expire or deactivate when you switch to another character.

Skill Activates a Shield

The shield from her Skill further increases her durability, allowing her to use her Normal Attack string without being interrupted. She generally doesn't require another shielder on the team, but she can still work well with them.

Converts DEF Into ATK

Her Elemental Burst increases her ATK by a percentage of her DEF upon activation. However, you'll still want to prioritize building DEF artifacts, especially if you have C6, though any ATK% substats are still usable.

Best At C6

With her C6, Noelle's Burst duration extends for every enemy defeated, while also increasing the DEF to ATK conversion. This is her strongest Constellation by far and is necessary for her to reach her highest potential as an On-Field DPS.

How To Use Noelle's Skills & Passives

Geo DPS That Can Heal the Entire Team

A lot of Noelle's intended role on the team is fulfilled while her Elemental Burst is active, so ensuring that she's able to use it every rotation is imperative for her DPS.

Burst Is Her Main Source of Damage

Icon	Elemental Burst Summary
Sweeping Time	- Geo infused attacks. - Has bigger AoE on her Normal and Charged Attacks. - Doesn't end when swapped out,

Noelle's Burst is where her damage and healing is tied to. Additionally, her Burst state remains activated even if you switch to other characters. Because of its importance, focusing on her Energy requirements first, either through artifacts and teammates, is highly recommended.

Skill Creates a Shield

Icon	Elemental Skill Summary
Breastplate	- Creates a Geo Shield that does damage upon activation. - Has a chance to heal on hit.

Noelle's Shield from her Skill helps to improve her resistance to staggering enemy attacks, which is important for an On-Field DPS who uses Normal Attack combos. This Skill doesn't generate Energy particles upon activation, which is unlike a majority of the playable characters' abilities, and thus contributes to Noelle's high energy requirements.

Passives Give Her Extra Supportive Capability

Icon	Ascension 1 Passive Description
Devotion	When Noelle is in the party but not on the field, this ability triggers automatically when your active character's HP falls below 30%: Creates a shield for your active character that lasts for 20s and absorbs DMG equal to 400% of Noelle's DEF.

Icon	Ascension 2 Passive Description
Nice and Clean	Noelle will decrease the CD of Breastplate by 1s for every 4 Normal or Charged Attack hits she scores on opponents.

Noelle's first passive gives a shield to an ally when they fall below a certain HP threshold, while her second passive decreases the cooldown of her Skill whenever she hits enemies with her Normal or Charged Attack. Both of these passives increase her supportive capabilities and make her and the team generally more durable, but in practice they don't provide a lot of noticeable impact since her Shield is a minor feature of her kit and gameplay.

C6 Greatly Improves Her DPS

Icon	Constellation 6 Description
Must Be Spotless	Sweeping Time increases Noelle's ATK by an additional 50% of her DEF. Additionally, every opponent defeated during the skill's duration adds 1s to the duration, up to 10s.

Noelle's C6 bumps up the percentage of her DEF that she converts after using her Burst, which boosts her damage potential by a substantial amount. The Burst duration increase is also highly appreciated since Noelle is heavily dependent on her Burst to deal damage.

Should You Pull for Noelle's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Aim for C6 if You Can

C6 Greatly Increases Noelle's Damage Potential

Noelle's effectiveness as an on-field Geo carry heavily depends on her Constellation level. Besides upgrading her weapon, your main priority should be getting her to C6. This provides a significant damage boost to her Burst by adding an extra DEF to ATK conversion and allowing her to extend its duration. The damage difference between a C0 and C6 Noelle is substantial, making it a worthwhile investment if you're dedicated to maximizing her potential.

If you plan to use Noelle mainly for her shield and healing, her C1 is a good stopping point. It guarantees that her attacks heal while her shield is active, unlike at C0 where healing is based on chance. However, reaching C6 is the ideal goal to make her a powerful on-field Geo carry who can also provide team-wide healing. If you intend to use her in this role, prioritize obtaining her C6 when possible.

Keep in mind that as a 4-star character, it can be difficult to guarantee obtaining her from pulls. It's more efficient to pull for her constellations when she is featured on a banner with a 5-star or other 4-star characters you also want. Always consider your options carefully before pulling.
