Best Teams for Noelle
Noelle Works Best As Hybrid DPS & Healer
| Team | Rating Description |
|---|---|
| ▼ Lunar-Charged Noelle Team | ★★★★★ - Pairs Noelle with the strong Ineffa and Columbina core that deals a substantial amount of DPS by themselves. - Noelle is a decent On-Fielder for the Ineffa-Columbina pairing since she's very durable with her healing and self-shielding, and her Burst AoE complements the multi-target nature of the Lunar-Charge reaction. |
| ▼ Noelle-Furina Team | ★★★★・ - The Marechaussee Hunter set can greatly increase DPS Noelle's damage thanks to generous amount of CRIT Rate it provides. - Furina's HP drain enables the Marechaussee 4-piece set effect, while Noelle's healing on her Burst also ensures you quickly build up Furina's Fanfare stacks as well. |
| ▼ Double Geo Team | ★★★・・ - Noelle appreciates having another Geo teammate to help her generate Energy to keep using her Elemental Burst, which is the bulk of her damage. - She can be played as the sole DPS supported by a Geo buffer, or alongside another flexible Geo DPS character, like Navia, in a 'Quickswap' kind of playstyle. Both are viable ways of running Double Geo Noelle teams. |
| ▼ Triple Geo Team | ★★★・・ - Similar to the Double Geo team, Noelle's flexibility lets her run a team comp with three Geo teammates in it without it hindering how her abilities work. - She can also be played Quickswap here with Navia, provided there is at least one other PHEC (Pyro, Hydro, Electro, Cryo) teammate in the team, or alongside 2 other Geo buffers or Off-Field Sub-DPSes. |
| ▼ Solo Geo Team | ★★・・・・ - Noelle can also be used as a flex unit in other teams where she's the only Geo character, preferably as an On-Field DPS. - Because she has no Geo teammate, her Energy needs will be a lot higher, which can lower DPS due to requiring more Energy Recharge rolls on your artifacts over offensive stats like CRIT. |
Noelle is a decent On-Field DPS character for new players due to her ease of use and flexible teammate options. She can easily cover your Geo DPS needs for pre-endgame content, and has ways to increase her DPS potential through vertical investment into her constellations, her teammates' constellations, and 5-star weapons.
Lunar-Charged Noelle Team
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
![]() Noelle | Redhorn Stonethresher Husk of Opulent Dreams x4Main DEF% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. DEF% |
![]() Columbina | Nocturne's Curtain Call Silken Moon's Serenade x4Main Energy Recharge or HP% / HP% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP% |
![]() Ineffa | Fractured Halo Aubade of Morningstar and Moon x4Main ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. ATK% or Elemental Mastery |
![]() Xilonen | ![]() Peak Patrol Song └ If you're having trouble using her Burst every rotation, equip the Favonius Sword instead. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4└ DMG% buffs will only be useful for Noelle. If you want to buff Ineffa/Columbina more, equip Instructor. If you want to buff Noelle/Ineffa, use Noblesse Oblige instead. Main Energy Recharge or DEF% / DEF% / DEF% or CRIT Rate (for Favonius Sword) Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Sword) 3. DEF% |
Since the team contains 2 PHEC (Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo) characters, Xilonen is able to activate her RES shred abilities and can provide Geo, Hydro and Electro RES shred in this team, which should benefit the other party members.
Rotation Of Lunar-Charged Noelle Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Ineffa. Deploy her Skill and Burst. |
| 2 | Swap to Columbina, then use her Skill followed by her Burst. |
| 3 | Switch to Xilonen. Use her Skill, then Normal Attack (x2). No need to use Burst since Noelle already heals with her Burst. |
| 4 | Switch to Noelle. Use her Skill, then Burst. You can use Normal Attacks or Charged Attacks depending on the enemy. Normal Attacks are preferable against single-target content, while spamming Charged Attack is better into multiple targets. └ Normal Attack Combo: Normal Attack (x3) → Dash → Repeat. └ Charged Attack Combo: Hold Normal Attack button to start spinning. Stop when support abilities expire. |
| 5 | Repeat from 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
Columbina | Aino Yelan Xingqiu | - If you plan to substitute Columbina, ensure that you at least have Ineffa to maintain the Lunar-Charged reaction. Swapping them both creates a simple Electro-Charged team instead, which performs worse. - Columbina applies a lot of AoE Hydro and increases Lunar Reaction DMG. She's the best option to pair with Ineffa for the best DPS, but you can swap her out for any other generic Hydro applicator if you don't have her, at the cost of reduced damage potential. - Aino at C6 provides a Lunar-Charged DMG% buff. - Yelan and Xingqiu are the better Off-Field Hydro supports that can apply their Element while contributing a modest amount of personal damage. |
Ineffa | Fischl Yae Miko Raiden Shogun | -- If you plan to substitute Ineffa, ensure that you at least have Columbina to maintain the Lunar-Charged reaction. Swapping them both creates a simple Electro-Charged team instead, which performs worse. - Ineffa provides a lot of damage that can rival the output of a main On-Field DPS, and she benefits a lot from Columbina's Lunar Reaction buffs. Replacing her cuts into the team DPS significantly. - Any other Electro character with decent Off-Field damage can be okay alternatives, with Fischl at C6 being the best option overall. |
Xilonen | Gorou Albedo Chiori | - Xilonen provides the most substantial buffs for the entire party, but you could replace her with a Sub-DPS or other Geo buffer regardless. - Gorou brings a lot of DEF% boosts to the table, which would only really benefit Noelle on the team. - Sub-DPSes like Albedo and Chiori can also be considered. |
Noelle-Furina Team
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
![]() Noelle | Redhorn Stonethresher Marechaussee Hunter x4Main DEF% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. DEF% |
![]() Columbina | Nocturne's Curtain Call Silken Moon's Serenade x4Main Energy Recharge or HP% / HP% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP% |
![]() Furina | Splendor of Tranquil Waters└ If you're having trouble charging Furina's Burst every rotation, you can try equipping Fleuve Cendre Ferryman, Favonius Sword or Festering Desire instead. Golden Troupe x4Main Energy Recharge or HP% / HP% or Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP% |
![]() Xilonen | ![]() Peak Patrol Song └ If you're having trouble using her Burst every rotation, equip the Favonius Sword instead. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4└ DMG% buffs will only be useful for Noelle. If you want to buff Ineffa/Columbina more, equip Instructor. If you want to buff Noelle/Ineffa, use Noblesse Oblige instead. Main Energy Recharge or DEF% / DEF% / DEF% or CRIT Rate (for Favonius Sword) Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Sword) 3. DEF% |
There's a lot of inherent synergy between Furina and Noelle due to Furina's fanfare stacks, which is where her DMG% buffs come from, requiring constant HP fluctuation to stack faster. Her Skill has a teamwide HP% drain effect, and when paired with Noelle's teamwide healing on Burst, makes for an efficient way of building Furina's fanfare stacks.
This team also makes use of the Moondrifts created by the Lunar-Crystallize reaction. They deal Lunar-Crystallize damage at an interval dependent on the rate of Geo application made by any teammate, and Noelle can quickly trigger the Moondrifts joint attack using her Elemental Burst.
Rotation Of Noelle-Furina Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Furina and use both her Skill and Burst. You can use dash after her Skill to cancel the long animation. |
| 2 | Switch to Xilonen, use her Skill then Normal Attack (x2). Burst isn't required since Noelle already heals with her Burst. |
| 3 | Swap to Columbina. Use Skill into Burst. |
| 4 | Switch to Noelle. Use her Skill, then Burst. You can use Normal Attacks or Charged Attacks depending on the enemy. Normal Attacks are preferable against single-target content, while spamming Charged Attack is better into multiple targets. └ Normal Attack Combo: Normal Attack (x3) → Dash → Repeat. └ Charged Attack Combo: Hold Normal Attack button to start spinning. Stop when support abilities expire. |
| 5 | Repeat from 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
Columbina | Yelan Fischl Durin Gorou | - Swapping out Columbina disables the conversion of Crystallize to Lunar-Crystallize. Performance will dip, but you can still opt to simply play other variations of the Noelle-Furina team. Anyone can take Columbina's place if you're fine with losing Lunar-Crystallize. - You can make use of another Hydro buffer to activate Hydro resonance and provide more HP% to Furina (alongside energy). - An Electro Sub-DPS that can benefit from Furina's DMG% buff can be a reasonable option to increase team damage. - A generic support like Durin, who provides RES Shred while also contributing his own personal DPS, may also be considered. - Another Geo teammate that can provide meaningful buffs for Noelle, such as Gorou, can also be a viable option. |
Xilonen | Gorou Albedo Chiori Illuga | - Xilonen provides Geo RES shred and can generate Energy for Noelle at the same time. It's best to replace her with another Geo character to fulfill the role of being a Geo battery more. - Gorou has a lot of DEF% increases, while Albedo and Chiori contribute their own personal damage to the team DPS. - Although Illuga's Lunar-Crystallize buffs won't be able to affect Noelle's damage directly, he can provide Ascendant Gleam and at C2 lets Columbina equip the Aubade set, while he holds the Silken Moon set instead. |
Furina | Yelan | - It's recommended to avoid trying to replace Furina since she enables the Marechaussee Hunter set for Noelle. Without her, you're better off letting Noelle use her other best sets, like the Husk set and slotting in other synergistic supports in Furina's place. |
Double Geo Team
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
![]() Noelle | Redhorn Stonethresher Marechaussee Hunter x4Main DEF% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. DEF% |
![]() Navia | Verdict Nighttime Whispers In The Echoing Woods x4Main ATK% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% |
![]() Furina | Splendor of Tranquil Waters└ If you're having trouble charging Furina's Burst every rotation, you can try equipping Fleuve Cendre Ferryman, Favonius Sword or Festering Desire instead. Golden Troupe x4Main Energy Recharge or HP% / HP% or Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP% |
![]() Ororon | Elegy for the End Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4Main ATK% / Electro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% |
Every hit from Noelle's Elemental Burst will apply Geo, which allows her to generate a decent amount of Crystallized Shards to enable Navia's stronger Skill. At the same time, Navia can drop a lot of Energy particles to fuel Noelle's Burst, further facilitating their ability to work in tandem on the same team, especially since Noelle's Burst doesn't end after you swap out of her.
Ororon and Furina serve as buffers while also contributing to the overall team DPS, but they are both replaceable by any other PHEC (Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo) character.
Rotation Of Double Geo Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Furina and use both her Burst and Skill. |
| 2 | Swap to Navia. Use her Elemental Burst. |
| 3 | Switch to Ororon. Use his Skill, then Burst. |
| 4 | Swap to Noelle. Use her Skill, then Burst. Do Normal Attack (x1). |
| 5 | Switch to Navia, then use her Skill. |
| 6 | Use Noelle to do Normal Attack (x2). If it's up, you may re-deploy Ororon's Skill. |
| 7 | Perform Normal Attack (x3) on Noelle. |
| 8 | Use Navia's Skill again. |
| 9 | Do one round of Noelle's Normal Attack combo or Charged attack combo. └ Normal Attack Combo: Normal Attack (x3) → Dash → Repeat. └ Charged Attack Combo: Hold Normal Attack button to start spinning. Stop when support abilities expire. |
| 10 | End the rotation with a Navia Skill. |
| 11 | Repeat from step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
Navia | Chiori Albedo Gorou Yun Jin Kachina | - Replacing Navia would likely lower the DPS, but slotting in an Off-Field DPS or buffer should make the rotation a little easier to execute. |
Furina | Yelan Durin Bennett | - Furina is one of Noelle's best support pairings. Her DMG% buffs and personal DPS contribution synergize well with Noelle's teamwide healing from her Burst. - You can still substitute her with other Hydro DPSes or a generic PHEC support that provides meaningful Off-Field damage or buffs. |
Ororon | Fischl Xiangling Yelan | - Ororon can be readily substituted with other PHEC Sub-DPSes who have bare minimum synergy with at least two of the party members. - Remember to swap Noelle out of the Marechaussee Hunter set if you don't have Furina on the team. |
Triple Geo Team
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
![]() Noelle | Redhorn Stonethresher Marechaussee Hunter x4Main DEF% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. DEF% |
![]() Navia | Verdict Nighttime Whispers In The Echoing Woods x4Main ATK% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% |
![]() Gorou | Favonius Warbow Noblesse Oblige x4Main Energy Recharge% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate 3. DEF% |
![]() Furina | Splendor of Tranquil Waters└ If you're having trouble charging Furina's Burst every rotation, you can try equipping Fleuve Cendre Ferryman, Favonius Sword or Festering Desire instead. Golden Troupe x4Main Energy Recharge or HP% / HP% or Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP% |
Similar to the Double Geo team sample, this one involves Noelle and Navia sharing field time as On-Field DPSes. Furina can boost both of their damage while Gorou can hold the Noblesse Oblige set to still provide an ATK% buff to Navia on top of his innate abilities increasing Noelle's DEF stat.
Rotation of Triple Geo Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Furina and use her Skill. |
| 2 | Swap to Navia. Use her Elemental Burst. |
| 3 | Switch to Gorou. Use his Skill, then Burst. |
| 4 | Swap to Furina. Deploy her Burst. |
| 5 | Swap to Noelle. Use her Skill, then Burst. Do Normal Attack (x1). |
| 6 | Switch to Navia, then use her Skill. |
| 7 | Use Noelle to do Normal Attack (x3). |
| 8 | Use Navia's Skill again. |
| 9 | Do one round of Noelle's Normal Attack combo or Charged attack combo. └ Normal Attack Combo: Normal Attack (x3) → Dash → Repeat until support abilities expire. └ Charged Attack Combo: Hold Normal Attack button to start spinning. Stop when support abilities expire. |
| 10 | End the rotation with a Navia Skill. |
| 11 | Repeat from step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
Navia | Albedo Chiori | - You can substitute most Geo Sub-DPSes in Navia's slot. |
![]() Gorou | Kachina Yun Jin | - Gorou is the best option for Noelle, but you can swap him out for whichever Geo buffer you have on-hand. |
Furina | Yelan Durin Bennett | - While Furina is her ideal teammate, Noelle can make do with other PHEC supports that can provide buffs that she and the other party members can make use of. |
Solo Geo Team
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
![]() Noelle | Redhorn Stonethresher Husk of Opulent Dreams x4Main DEF% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. DEF% |
![]() Nahida | A Thousand Floating Dreams Deepwood Memories x4Main Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery Sub 1. Elemental Mastery 2. Energy Recharge% 3. CRIT Rate or DMG |
![]() Xingqiu | Primordial Jade Cutter Emblem of Severed Fate x4Main Energy Recharge% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. ATK% |
![]() Thoma | Kitain Cross Spear Flower Of Paradise Lost x4Main Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery Sub 1. Elemental Mastery 2. Energy Recharge |
While Solo Geo Noelle teams aren't very ideal due to the lack of a Geo teammate to help her gain Energy, they're still viable teambuilding options if you want to experiment with different playstyles. Note that Noelle will need to have more Energy Recharge in her artifacts in order to use her Burst every rotation, which lowers her DPS capability.
Most teams in this archetype orients Noelle towards an On-Field Driver role, whose attacks are mostly there to activate key support abilities rather than to contribute the most damage.
Rotation of Solo Geo Team (Burgeon)
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Xingqiu. Use his Skill, into Burst. |
| 2 | Switch to Nahida then use Skill (hold if multiple targets), then Burst. |
| 3 | Use Thoma's Skill, followed by his Burst. |
| 4 | Swap to Noelle. Do Normal Attack (x1), then a Skill into Burst. |
| 5 | Perform your preferred Noelle combo. └ Normal Attack Combo: Normal Attack (x3) → Dash → Repeat. └ Charged Attack Combo: Hold Normal Attack button to start spinning. Stop when support abilities expire. |
| 6 | If Nahida's Mark expired, swap back into her to reapply her Skill. |
| 7 | Perform more Normal Attacks on Noelle until support ability durations expire. |
| 8 | Repeat from step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
Nahida | Lauma Dendro Traveler Collei | - While Nahida is one of the better Dendro supports for Burgeon or Hyperbloom, Lauma can easily take her place if you have her and if she isn't being used in any other team. - Otherwise, whichever Dendro applier you have should be viable options. |
Xingqiu | Yelan Kokomi | - Xingqiu is there to generate Dendro Cores to trigger Burgeon off of, but any Hydro character with fast and reliable Hydro application are decent alternatives. |
Thoma | Pyro Traveler Durin Kuki Shinobu Raiden Shogun | - Thoma is the better Burgeon trigger due to how his Elemental Burst's Pyro application works. Other options will be fine, but will feel less ideal due to being less optimal in Burgeon teams. - You can also choose to swap the Pyro character with an Electro character to trigger Hyperbloom instead. |
