Collei is a 4-star Dendro bow user from Sumeru and one of the earliest Dendro characters introduced in the game. A trainee Forest Ranger under Tighnari’s mentorship, Collei plays the role of an off-field Sub-DPS or reaction enabler.

Her Elemental Skill and Burst provide consistent Dendro application, making her an excellent choice for triggering Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burning reactions.

While not a main DPS, Collei offers flexibility and accessibility for teams focused on reaction-based damage.

Stack Elemental Mastery for full reaction builds or ER if you want consistent Burst uptime.
