RELATED: Genshin Impact: Mistakes Players Make When Using Collei
When it comes to Dori in Genshin Impact, many mistakes come from players being indecisive on the role they want Dori to take. Other than that, many parts of her mechanics are easy to miss as well.
7 Playing Aggravate On Low Constellations
Aggravate-focus is one of the viable Dori builds in Genshin Impact. However, this route should not be taken unless players have at least C2 Dori. This is because her Constellations increase the number of Aggravate she can trigger. While at C0, Dori barely triggers the Dendro x Electro reaction. Aggravate build is also the only time when Dori’s final Constellation is worth using.
Meanwhile, at lower Constellations, players can either build Dori as a healer, support, or Electro-Charged or Hyperbloom trigger.
6 Not Utilizing Dori’s Electro Applications
Dori has a unique feature where her Jinni creates a line of Electro that connects to the active character. When this line hits enemies, it will deal damage every 0.4s while applying Electro to them in the process. The obvious way to use this mechanic is to trigger Electro-related reactions like Electro-Charged, but players can also use it to trigger other reactions like Hyperbloom.
Hyperbloom is usually a hassle to perform as players have to hit Dendro Cores with Electro, but with Dori’s Electro line, Travelers can simply walk around the area, touching the Dendro Cores with the purple line.
5 Not Choosing A Single Role For Dori
Dori can perform well in multiple roles, but not choosing a single one can cause her performance to drop. For example, if players build Dori to be a healer and Hyperbloom trigger, her build would look something like EM/EM/Healing Bonus + 4pc Maiden Beloved + Rainslasher weapon.
This is not a good idea, as players would be missing out on up to 417 Elemental Mastery from artifacts, which is a massive loss in Hyperbloom damage. It’s best if players stick to one job for Dori so that they won’t miss out on Dori’s full potential.
4 Overestimating Dori’s C6
Dori’s sixth Constellation may seem good on paper, but in reality, it’s mostly not worth using. Three seconds to use Dori’s Normal Attacks are a waste of time on time-sensitive content like the Spiral Abyss, so it’s better to ignore the feature.
However, there are some cases where Dori’s Electro Infusion is worth using, like:
The whole party is in low HP (Unlike Dori’s ultimate, the C6 effect heals the entire team) Players are playing Dori as an Aggravate damage dealer
3 Not Adjusting Dori’s Equipment To Her Role
Dori’s build in Genshin Impact obviously has to adjust to her role, and this includes artifact main stat, artifact set, and also her weapon. In short, here’s what players should use for each job:
Healer : HP/HP/Healing Bonus + 4pc Ocean-Hued Clam + The Bell or Skyward Pride. Support : Energy Recharge/HP/Healing Bonus + 4pc Noblesse Oblige, 4pc Instructor, or 4pc Deepwood Memories + Wolf’s Gravestone or Forest Regalia. Aggravate : Elemental Mastery/Electro DMG/Crit Rate or DMG + 4pc Gilded Dreams + Redhorn Stonethresher. Hyperbloom or Electro-Charged : Elemental Mastery/Elemental Mastery/Elemental Mastery + 4pc Gilded Dreams + Rainslasher.
2 Underestimating Dori’s Energy Recovery
Dori doesn’t only heal with her Elemental Burst, but she also regenerates the active character’s Energy. At level 10, she grants 2.5 Energy every 2s. So in total, Dori will regenerate a whopping 15 Energy. This means she’s not only a good healer but also an amazing Genshin Impact Battery.

After unlocking Dori’s fourth Constellation, a character with less than 50% Energy will also gain 30% extra Energy Recharge, allowing them to accumulate Energy faster. This feature of Dori is not widely advertised, but underestimating it is a grave mistake for sure.
1 Forgetting Dori’s Cleansing Feature
Dori’s Elemental Burst grants various effects, and that includes cleansing. Cleansing is something players can do to remove an Elemental debuff. For example, if a character is affected by Cryo debuff, they will use significantly more Stamina than usual. To remove the debuff, players need to self-apply Elements that react with Cryo, like Pyro, Electro, or Anemo. This can be done by either getting hit by an Element or by using abilities that self-apply Elements.
For instance, Bennett’s Inspiration Field self-inflict Pyro and Jean’s Dandelion Field will Swirl the debuff away. Meanwhile, Dori grants Electro application to whoever is connected to her Jinni (Elemental Burst).
However, note that this self-application can also backfire. For example, if a character gets hit by Pyro while they’re affected by Dori’s Electro, the Overloaded reaction will occur, throwing players away.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
