Best Build for Klee in Genshin Impact
catalyst character in Genshin Impact. This guide covers the best builds, weapons and artifacts for Klee.Pros & Cons
- Good matchup versus shielded enemies
- Good potential DPS
- Well designed unit with a specific niche
- Klee is unique as an on-field pyro enabler
- Upfront damage on her skill
- Flexible party compositions
- Mono-Pyro is currently Klee's main party type while having viable Vaporize compositions.
- Her value is limited by player's skill expression
- Animation-cancelling and stamina management are core concepts for her gameplay.
- Requires a lot of specific optimizations depending on her build
- Usually build flexibility is a pro, but the floor for Klee is already high
- Doesn't work with Freeze. (causes Shatter instead of Melt)
- Her best comps don't really use reactions
- This is more due to personnel rather than Klee herself, but this does open arguments like "she's dependent on future characters"

Normal Attack
Throws things that go boom when they hit things! Perform up to 3 explosive attacks, dealing AoE Pyro DMG.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina and deals AoE Pyro DMG to opponents after a short casting time.
Plunging Attack
Gathering the power of Pyro, Klee plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Pyro DMG upon impact with the ground.
Jumpy Dumpty is tons of boom-bang-fun!
When thrown, Jumpy Dumpty bounces thrice, igniting and dealing AoE Pyro DMG with every bounce.

When Jumpy Dumpty and Normal Attacks deal DMG, Klee has a 50% chance to obtain an Explosive Spark. This Explosive Spark is consumed by the next Charged Attack, which costs no Stamina and deals 50% increased DMG.
When Klee's Charged Attack results in a CRIT, all party members gain 2 Elemental Energy.
Constellations

Builds
DPS Build
The nature of how Klee is played blurs the practical line between DPS and Enabler as you'll still need some investment to all facets of her kit as well as the knowledge to play one style is dense and reasonable that you would know how to play the other styles as well.
Normal > Burst = Skill
While Klee can be used in more supportive roles, the damage from her Normal Attack Talent should not be neglected. Ideally you raise all skills to level 6 and choose raise Normal Attack to 8 before raising her Burst and Skill to 8 and similarly if you plan to crown Klee. If Normal Attack are not a focus of her party role, raise her Skill and Burst to 8 before her Normal Attack.
Main stats: ER or EM or ATK/Pyro/Crit
Substats: ER, Atk Crit, EM
In optimized Klee parties, you practically don't need an ER sands but goes up in value as a Support. Klee's damage is significant so its really not recommended to starve her from offensive stats (Crit & ATK). Elemental Mastery is only relevant if you plan to use Klee in reaction comps.
WeaponsPossibly her best weapon (esp at R5) due to her upfront nature of her damage. Klee requires 8-10 seconds of field time, rotations need her as the first character in your party to trigger Widsith's passive bonus correctly.
Recitative: ATK is increased by 60~120%. Aria: Increases all Elemental DMG by 48~96%.
Interlude: Elemental Mastery is increased by 240~480.Kagura's Verity is second best in slot if you'rr able to perform the skill exploit correctly. By pressing Klee's skill and then Burst immediately after, the game will count 1 Skill stack, but "Jumpy Dumpty" won't be spawned and a Skill stack will not be consumed. In this way, you can make use of Kagura's passive.
Lost Prayer is overall a solid option, but its passive isn't fully stackable in most rotations.
5★ weapons are good stat sticks but aren't exactly great
It's a 4★ weapon second only to The Widsith
ArtifactsThis set is valuable in both Mono Pyro and Vaporize comps.
Best resin efficient option and easiest way to find good substat rolls.
4pc Crimson is harder to achieve and farm (it is recommended to use the strongbox) but best in slot for Vaporize teams.
4PC Wanderer's Troupe is not really recommended as Klee, unlike Yanfei, deals considerable damage with her whole kit rather than only charged attacks. However, it's still viable.
This is recommended because Klee's C2 is a strong constellation and this set makes her viable as a supportive character.
