Collei is a newly released Dendro character in Genshin Impact 3.0. She is considered a support character because she can provide Dendro applicants off-field.

With new weapons and artifacts also released in the same version of Genshin Impact, players may be wondering which artifacts and weapons are the best for Collei.

Dendro is a new element and brings along lots of elemental reactions to the game. Thus, Travelers may want to use Collei to test the new reactions themselves while dealing decent damage.

This article will list the best artifacts and weapons for Collei in Genshin Impact.

Best artifacts for Collei in Genshin Impact 3.0

1) Deepwood Memories

The first and best artifact set for Collei would be Deepwood Memories, a new set that arrived with Genshin Impact 3.0.

The two-piece bonus will provide Dendro damage bonus for Collei, while the four-piece bonus can reduce the target's Dendro resistance for a long time.


2) Gilded Dreams

Another new artifact set that is available from the same domain as Deepwood Memories is Gilded Dreams.

Since Dendro damage and reactions scale off Elemental Mastery, the effect from this artifact is also suitable for Collei. The two-piece bonus will increase the wielder's Elemental Mastery, while the four-piece bonus can increase party members' attacks depending on their elements.


3) Wanderer's Troupe

If Genshin Impact players want to use an old artifact on Collei, they can equip Wanderer's Troupe as it also increases the host's Elemental Mastery.


Best weapons for Collei in Genshin Impact 3.0

1) Hunter's Path

Hunter's Path is 5-star Dendro character Tighnari's signature weapon. However, the weapon's passive skills and secondary stats fit Collei well.

With Crit Rate, players can focus Elemental Mastery or Crit Damage on the artifact sub-stat, and the passive skill can increase her Elemental damage.


2) Aqua Simulacra

Since Aqua Simulacra is a 5-star weapon, its base attack levels are strong. CRIT Damage, its substat, raises the amount of bonus damage Collei deals when she gets a CRIT Hit.


3) The Viridescent Hunt

Like Hunter's Path, The Viridescent Hunt has a CRIT Rate substat. The additional damage is quite advantageous.


4) The Stringless

Elemental Mastery is a substat that The Stringless possesses, and since Dendro damage and reactions scale off of Elemental Mastery, this makes it a useful weapon.

Given that many players have acquired this weapon in the past through character or event banners, it is an excellent F2P alternative.


Best team composition for Collei

1) Tighnari, Yae Miko, Collei & Kokomi

Tighnari is a 5-star Dendro character that can act as a support and DPS in this team. He is also the main damage dealer.

Yae Miko or other Electro applicants can inflict Electro off-field, while Kokomi can act as a healer and trigger the Bloom reaction.


2) Tighnari, Klee, Collei & Kokomi
