Kirara Best Weapon

Kirara Support Build

	Weapon	Details
Best	Key Of Khaj-Nisut	HP 66.2% (Lvl. 90) - Great HP Buff of 80% - Increases the Elemental Mastery of the team that scales from Kirara's HP - Kirara can maximize this weapon since it can strengthen the durability of her shield and provide EM buff to the team
2nd	Freedom-Sworn	Elemental Mastery 198 (Lvl. 90) - Provides buff to the team making Kirara a better support - Great Elemental Mastery Stick enabling powerful reactions from Kirara - Does not improve shield but useful for its buffs
3rd	Xiphos' Moonlight	Elemental Mastery 165 (Lvl. 90) - Slightly increases the team's ER - EM can improve the damage of Dendro-related reactions done by Kirara
F2P	Sapwood Blade	Energy Recharge 30.6% (Lvl. 90) - Able to provide an EM buff to 1 character thru seed - Can easily refine since this weapon can be crafted
F2P	Favonius Sword	Energy Recharge 61.3% (Lvl. 90) - Able to provide additional Energy Particles for the team - CRIT Rate is necessary to maximize its effect. - Does not help much on increasing the durability of her shields

It is recommended to go for a sword that increase HP% for tougher shields. Key of Khaj-Nisut is great because of HP increase and EM buff for the team which is great for Kirara itself and most of the team that prefers Kirara.

Kirara Skill Guide & How To Use Kirara

Recommended Rotation For Support Kirara

Kirara is a Dendro Sword user whose role is to provide support by producing a shield that is beneficial for the active character. Her shield has a high durability and can be sustained. As a Dendro character, she can enable Dendro resonance with another Dendro character in the team.

Uses Of Kirara's Elemental Skill

Produces A Dendro Shield

Kirara has 2 kinds of Elemental Skill and both of them produces a shield that scales from Kirara's max HP. The scaling is incredible making it one of the best shielder in-game.

Cat Form With Increased Movement Speed

Holding Kirara's Elemental Skill lets her transform into a Cat Box that has an increased movement speed. While in this form, she can climb faster which is useful for exploration.

Shield Can Be Sustained

Kirara's Skill has a cooldown ranging from 8 seconds to 12 seconds which shows the possibility to continuously refresh her shield before it expires. The durability can be stacked on top of the durability of the existing shield. Her shield is very effective against Dendro and it is excellent for its versatility.

Hold Skill For Dendro DMG & Shield

The shield can be reinforced depending on the number of enemies touched during the Cat Box Express state. Also, by holding down the skill, hitting multiple enemies, then canceling it immediately, this is an ideal way to extend the shield's durability & duration.

Uses Of Kirara's Elemental Burst

AoE Dendro DMG With Dendro Cores

Kirara's Elemental Burst can inflict a powerful Dendro DMG initially then release a number of Dendro cores that explode after a certain period or once it comes in contact with the opponents.
