Popsicle's Short Review
▲PROS: Collei's provides another option for players to have a Dendro applicator in their team, allowing you to enjoy Dendro-related reactions with. As one of the free characters that new players can get, she provides another option for players to have a Dendro Off-field Support due to her worthy Dendro application against opponents. With arrival of kits related to Burning and Burgeon, her kit becomes more useful as of this writing. Additionally, she possessed a decent personal damage with flexible artifact sets and weapons that you can choose from.
▼CONS: Even though she has a worthy Dendro application, she needs a high Energy Recharge attribute to be able to activate her kit. Additionally, she is dependent to her constellation and high investment to her team in order to do well in combat. The former allows her to have a massive improvement to herself and the latter allows her to deal more personal damage, especially if you are going to use her in Spiral Abyss. Lastly, her Burst's AoE is quite small, compared to other Dendro Off-field Support.
Combat Profile
✦ Normal Attack | Supplicant's Bowmanship
➤ Collei's Normal Attack consists of a fast-firing attack animation that can deal continuous damage with lackluster damage multiplier. You should not priority it when building her talents.
✦ Elemental Skill | Floral Brush
❝Fly.❠
➤ It is a great way to deal with two instances of Dendro application against the opponents - one is when you throw your Floral Ring boomerang, and the second one is when it goes back to you. Make sure that you need to deal Dendro-related reactions during the flight duration of her Floral Ring to take advantage on the ascension passive.
✦ Elemental Burst | Trump-Card Kitty
❝Try this on for size!❠
➤ Collei's main source of damage, allowing her to deal damage 12 times during the duration of her Elemental Burst, providing consistent Dendro application and damage within her small AoE.
Passive Ability
✦ Utility Passive | Gliding Champion of Sumeru
❝Everything's ready, let's go!❠
◢ Decreases gliding Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20%. Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.
➤ It is similar to Amber's Utility Passive; this is great when you are exploring the mountains of Sumeru. However, you can't stack the buff it provide on this passive.
✦ 1st Ascension Passive | Floral Sidewinder
❝Does this mean I'm making progress?❠
◢ If one of your party members has triggered Burning, Quicken, Aggravate, Spread, Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon reactions before the Floral Ring returns, it will grant the character the Sprout effect upon return, which will continuously deal Dendro DMG equivalent to 40% of Collei's ATK to nearby opponents for 3s. If another Sprout effect is triggered during its initial duration, the initial effect will be removed. DMG dealt by Sprout is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
➤ As mentioned to her Elemental Skill section, you need to deal any Dendro damage during the flight time of her Floral Ring for her to deal more damage. It is often recommended to use her Skill first before her Burst to take full advantage on her passive.
✦ 4th Ascension Passive | The Languid Wood
❝Even if it's a life-or-death situation, I'll never need to rely on their power again.❠
◢ When a character within the Cuilein-Anbar Zone triggers Burning, Quicken, Aggravate, Spread, Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon reactions, the Zone's duration will be increased by 1s. A single Trump-Card Kitty can be extended by up to 3s.
➤ It functions similarly to her A1 Passive, focusing on her Burst. Triggering any Dendro-related elemental reaction with Collei's Elemental Burst can extend its duration by up to 9 seconds. This provides additional time for her Elemental Burst and the opportunity to trigger an extra elemental reaction.
Constellations
✦ C1 - Deepwood Patrol
➤ Her C1 allows her to somewhat lowers her Energy Recharge attribute by a bit, making it a decent quality-of-life improvement to her kit.
✦ C2 - Through Hill and Copse
➤ Her C2 allows her A1 Passive to change its wording. It allows her her Skill to further increase the duration of the Sprout effect by 3 seconds, allowing for the effect to last longer in combat.
✦ C3 - Scent of Summer
➤ Her C3 further increases the level of her Skill.
✦ C4 - Gift of the Woods
➤ Her C4 allows her to to grant Elemental Mastery buff to her team whenever she uses her Burst. It allows Collei to become a full-fledge Dendro Support.
✦ C5 - All Embers
➤ Her C5 furtther increases the level of her Burst. Suprisingly, it is Collei's best constellation.
✦ C6 - Forest of Falling Arrows
➤ Her C6 allows her to create a mini Cuilein-Anbar, dealing a massive Dendro damage. This becomes active whenever the Floral Ring hits an opponent.
