In today’s guide, we will be discussing Dori, the latest character release in the second half of the 3.0 update. We will be discussing the best ways to build Dori, her ascension and talent materials/costs, constellations, artifacts, weapons, and team comps. But of course, let us begin by introducing the character, briefly.
Dori, The Treasure of the Dream Garden, is a Sumeran Merchant. She is a 4-star Electro Claymore user. Quite uniquely, she can provide sustained Electro application, aiding in reaction-based team comps, healing your party members, and recharging your on-field character’s energy. Her constellations and kit point to her role as a utility/support character.
A Summary of Dori’s Kit
Dori‘s talents can be welded into your team’s rotation to provide a constant flux of energy with her burst, a decent source of energy for herself via her skill (and also subsequent constellations), and also the opportunity to heal her teammates using her normal attacks and burst.

Dori’s Passive Talents
| Talent Name | Talent Description |
|---|---|
| Unexpected Order | Dori has a 25% chance to recover some of the materials used when crafting Character and Weapon Materials. |
| An Eye for Gold | After a character connected to the Jinni triggers an Electro-based reaction, including Electro Swirl or Crystallize reaction, ->The CD of Spirit-Warding Lamp: Troubleshooter Cannon is decreased by 1s. ->This effect can be triggered once every 3s. |
| Compound Interest | When the Troubleshooter Shots or After-Sales Service Rounds from Dori‘s Elemental Skill hit opponents. ->Dori will restore 5 Elemental Energy for every 100% Energy Recharge possessed. ->Per Spirit-Warding Lamp: Troubleshooter Cannon, only one instance of Energy restoration can be triggered ->A maximum of 15 Energy can be restored this way. |
Dori’s Normal and Charged Attacks
Dori‘s normal attacks perform a 3-strike sequence. Her charged attacks consume stamina to perform a spinning attack and also perform a more powerful slash at the end of her charged sequence.
Dori’s Elemental Skill and Burst
This ability fires Electro Projectiles, Troubleshooter Shots, at opponents. If the projectile hits enemies, fires two more homing projectiles called After-Sales Service Rounds that also deal Electro DMG.
This ability also generates 2 Elemental Particles if it hits enemies.
The Spirit Lamp connects with your active unit, continuously healing and generating Energy for them.
When the connecting cord touches enemies, it will Deal Electro DMG to them every 0.4s.
At first glance, this is a very powerful ability. During the 12s duration, you can hit enemies up to a maximum of 30 times. At Lv. 8 and 25% DMG multiplier per hit, this can add up to 750% DMG. This ability is not very consistent though, since you’ll have to stay close to the enemy and in a certain position to be able to deal DMG. So we urge you, the traveler, to mainly make use of Dori‘s burst for its healing and charging capabilities.
This ability costs 80 Energy, and we recommend prioritizing it when building Dori.
Dori’s Constellations
A brief note is necessary here… Please do not feel forced to roll for a character’s constellations. They are nice to have and can boost the effectiveness of a character but aren’t worth spending real-world currency on unless you have a large reserve of expendable income.
However, if you do end up getting more constellations, congratulations! Let us get you familiar with Dori’s Stella Fortuna.
Dori‘s constellations are a good upgrade for her. She can provide some extra DMG, Healing, and ER to aid the unit currently on-field.
| Constellation | Description |
|---|---|
Constellation 1 Additional Investment | The number of After-Sales Service Rounds created by Troubleshooter Shots is increased by 1. |
Constellation 2  Special Franchise | When you are in combat and the Jinni heals the character it is connected to, it will fire a Jinni Toop from that character’s position that deals 50% of Dori’s ATK DMG. |
Constellations 3 Wonders Never Cease and 5  Value for Mora | Wonders Never Cease (C3) increases the talent levels of Dori’s Elemental Burst, Alcazarzaray’s Exactitude, by 3. Blossom Cloud Irutsuki (C5) increases the talent levels of Dori’s Elemental Skill, Spirit-Warding Lamp: Troubleshooter Cannon,by 3. The maximum upgrade level for both of these abilities is now 15. |
Constellation 4 Discretionary Supplement | The character connected to the Jinni will obtain the following buffs based on their current HP and Energy: ->When their HP is lower than 50%, they gain 50% Incoming Healing Bonus. ->When their Energy is less than 50%, they gain 30% Energy Recharge. |
Constellation 6 Sprinkling Weight | Dori gains the following effects for 3s after using her Elemental Skill: ->Electro Infusion. ->When Normal Attacks hit opponents, all nearby party members will heal HP equivalent to 4% of Dori‘s Max HP. This type of healing can occur once every 0.1s. |
Dori’s Best Stats on Artifact Sets
For a supportive build, your team could use Dori equipped with an Energy Recharge stat on her sands and Electro DMG on her Goblet. Her circlet could use a Healing Bonus %/ HP% or ATK% main stat.
Of course, for a DPS’y build on Dori, an Electro Goblet with Energy Recharge on your sands is a must-have, Along with a CRIT Rate/ DMG circlet (or more ER if you feel like the value you have isn’t enough).
When building Dori, it is necessary to account for your playstyle and the pieces you have on hand. So, these stats may differ player-wise.
Dori’s Best Weapons
| Weapon | Description |
|---|---|
Forest Regalia | At Max Level and Refinement Rank 5 Base ATK 565 Bonus Energy Recharge 30.6% Forest Sanctuary After triggering Dendro-based reactions, a Leaf of Consciousness will be created around the character for a maximum of 10s. -> Picking the Leaf will grant the character 60 Elemental Mastery for 12s. ->Only 1 Leaf can be generated this way every 20s. ->This effect can still be triggered if the character is not on the field. ->The Leaf of Consciousness’ effect cannot stack. |
Favonius Greatsword | At Max Level and Refinement Rank 5: Base ATK: 454 Bonus Energy Recharge 61.3% Windfall CRIT hits have a 100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles -> Particles will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. ->Can only occur once every 6s. |

Dori’s Best Teams
You’ll want a team that can make use of Dori‘s burst effectively.

She can work great with someone like Eula, who has a high Energy cost and is Cryo. The reason this works is that Cryo + Electro procs the Superconduct reaction, reducing opponents’ Physical Res by a whopping 40%, allowing Eula to deal massive DMG with her burst. Other supportive characters like Rosaria work really well in this team, providing Cryo resonance and CRIT Rate to further buff Eula

But of course, to make use of the newesr reactions, you could run an off-field Dendro Support character like Collei or the Dendro Traveller who can constantly apply Dendro using their Bursts. After that, it’s just, a matter of using Dori’s burst and proccing the desired reactions. For example, using Ayato or Childe in such teams will proc Bloom or Hyperbloom.
Of course, you could come up with any team comp that you like, it all depends on how you want play and build Dori.
