Clorinde is a 5-star Electro sword user from Fontaine, recognized as the Champion Duelist and a central figure in the city’s judicial combat system.

Swift, stoic, and deadly, Clorinde excels in high-speed close combat and specializes in combining Electro-infused strikes with coordinated counters. Her kit rewards aggressive play and quick reaction timing, making her one of the most unique Electro carries in the game.

Whether used as a sustained DPS or quickswap burst dealer, Clorinde thrives in teams that amplify Electro reactions or funnel buffs into her high single-target output.
