Collei
Collei is a cheap, excellent 4-star pick to hold Deepwood Memories, shredding Dendro RES so the whole team hits noticeably harder. She doesn't hit hard herself, so don't chase personal damage, build her as a pure support: cover your Energy Recharge threshold first, then Elemental Mastery. Note she's very energy-hungry, so the 4-star Favonius Warbow or Sacrificial Bow fit perfectly. If you don't own a 5-star Dendro unit, Collei is a fantastic backbone for Quicken and Hyperbloom teams. Prioritize a full 4pc Deepwood and your ER threshold first.

Teams for Collei
Collei keeps Dendro applied and shreds RES, while Fischl and Raiden pour in Electro to keep triggering Aggravate nonstop.
Collei and Xingqiu seed Bloom, Kuki triggers Hyperbloom, and Collei's Deepwood set boosts the whole team's damage.
Collei's talents
Supplicant's Bowmanship
Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charged Attack
Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG.
While aiming, Dendro energy will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged arrow will deal Dendro DMG.
Plunging Attack
Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Floral Brush
The Floral Ring will return after a set time, dealing Dendro DMG once again.
This is Collei's go-to gadget for dealing with unruly wild beasts. A few good thwacks from this tool will generally improve their behavior. This same principle works just as well on evildoers.
Trump-Card Kitty
Throws the doll named Cuilein-Anbar, causing an explosion that deals AoE Dendro DMG, creating a Cuilein-Anbar Zone. Cuilein-Anbar will bounce around within this zone, dealing AoE Dendro DMG.
"Pretty impressive, huh? ... Eh? You want to know how I came up with the name Cuilein-Anbar? Uh, well, I..."
Floral Sidewinder
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.
The Languid Wood
A single Trump-Card Kitty can be extended this way by up to 3s.
Gliding Champion of Sumeru
Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.
Combat Rotation
- Enter the field and let a teammate pre-apply an element (Electro/Hydro/Pyro) on the target first if the team needs a reaction.
- Cast Elemental Skill E (Floral Brush) to throw the ring, dealing one instance of Dendro DMG immediately (CD 12s).
- Once you have 60 Energy, unleash Burst Q (Trump-Card Kitty): the explosion deals AoE Dendro DMG and creates the Cuilein-Anbar Zone, where the bouncing doll keeps dealing Dendro DMG for 6s (CD 15s).
- Fire off Charged Attacks (Aimed Shot) for extra Dendro DMG while skills are on cooldown.
- Wait for the Floral Ring to return for its second Dendro tick — if a reaction (Quicken/Aggravate/Spread/Bloom, etc.) already triggered, Collei gains the Sprout effect (Ascension-4 passive talent, no Constellation needed), dealing continuous Dendro DMG equal to 40% ATK to nearby enemies for 3s.
- Rotate Collei on and off field roughly on E's 12s cooldown to keep re-applying Dendro for the reaction chain.
- Since the Burst costs 60 Energy, prioritize Energy Recharge to keep the Cuilein-Anbar Zone up as often as possible, maximizing Collei's sub-DPS/reaction-support value.
Collei constellations
When in the party and not on the field, Collei's Energy Recharge is increased by 20%.
The Ascension Talent Floral Sidewinder is changed to this:
The Floral Ring will grant the character the Sprout effect from Floral Sidewinder upon return, dealing 40% of Collei's ATK as Dendro DMG to nearby opponents for 3s.
From the moment of using Floral Brush to the moment when this instance of Sprout effect ends, if any of your party members triggers Burning, Quicken, Aggravate, Spread, Bloom, Hyperbloom, Lunar-Bloom, or Burgeon reactions, the Sprout effect will be extended by 3s.
The Sprout effect can only be extended this way once. 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.
You must first unlock the Ascension Talent "Floral Sidewinder."
Increases the Level of Floral Brush by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Using Trump-Card Kitty will increase all nearby characters' Elemental Mastery by 60 for 12s (not including Collei herself).
Increases the Level of Trump-Card Kitty by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When the Floral Ring hits, it will create a miniature Cuilein-Anbar that will deal 200% of Collei's ATK as Dendro DMG.
Each Floral Brush can only create one such miniature Cuilein-Anbar.

Voice Lines & Comments
Birthday
Uh, H—Happy Birthday! Here's the cake I made for you, and here are the candles, so yeah... Amber said in her letter that this would do the job... Oh! And, and here's the gift I got for you! ...I'm sorry, I don't have much experience arranging birthday parties. I have no idea if you'll like it... Aah, I'm getting all flustered now. If anything's not how you like it, please say, and I'll make absolutely sure to plan a nicer birthday celebration for you next year!
Self-Introduction
Hello
Trainee Forest Ranger Collei, reporting for duty! I will ensure your safe passage through this forest. ...Phew, I think I've finally got that line down! ...I—I didn't get any of it wrong, did I?
About Collei: Forest Ranger
I wandered the wilderness for quite a long time before arriving in Sumeru, and I've eaten everything out there countless times — edible or not. Since I'm familiar with the wilderness, the work of a Forest Ranger seemed a natural fit for me when I arrived here. If they did courses in wilderness survival, I'm pretty sure I could pass... well, as long as there was no written test.
More About Collei: I
You wanna know more about me? If you mean about before I came to Sumeru, then, um... M—Maybe you could write to Amber and ask her about it? Wait wait wait, no, not that. If Kaeya found out, that would be a disaster. What am I saying — of course he'd find out! O—Okay, I'll tell you myself, then. Whew... I'm sorry! Please give me a few days to work up to it...
More About Collei: II
When I ended up in Mondstadt, I said a lot of things to Amber and the others that I shouldn't have. I still feel ashamed whenever I think about it... How could I talk like that to people who were just trying to help me? I shudder to think what they must have thought of me back then... Uhh, sorry, maybe we can leave it there for today? If I go any further than that, I know I'll regret it tomorrow.
More About Collei: III
I was once taken to someone they call "The Doctor" for treatment for my Eleazar... well, actually "treatment" is the wrong word — it was more... experimentation. After so long in that place, I couldn't help but start to wonder, what have I done wrong to deserve this? Why won't anyone come to rescue me? Gradually, I went from hating just the Fatui to hating everyone in the world. Thinking about it now... it was quite childish.
More About Collei: IV
Thanks to you guys, my Eleazar has disappeared without a trace. It's the miracle that I never dared to wish for. ...I never held out hope for a cure, I just figured I'd try and just do as much as I could before my body stops moving. First I was focused on revenge, then forest patrol... and now, finally, I am free to live my life.
More About Collei: V
Are you going to keep traveling? Let me do my part, please? I'll study hard... whether it's reading, medicine, combat, or assessing the danger... even something small, like checking the streetlights! I hope that many more people will get the help they need along the way... just like how you saved me.
About Us: Old Friends
Amber's mentioned you before in her letters. I can't believe how much has happened in Mondstadt since I was there. Too bad I had to skip the words I didn't know, so I missed out on a lot of details... Oh, but since you're here now, would you be willing to tell me the whole story?
About Us: New Friends
I used to think that I'd never make a single friend in my whole life, but things changed when I went to Mondstadt... Then after that, I met Master in Sumeru. Now I've met you, too. All in all, I think I've been really lucky.
Thoughts About Other Characters
Tighnari
Although Master can be quite stern and is always criticizing adventurers for carelessly eating poisonous mushrooms, he is actually a gentle soul. He's so patient when he tutors me, and he even reads out letters from Mondstadt for me. I've always been very grateful to him.
Dori
I ran into her once on forest ranger duty. She pulled out a bottle of fruit juice from her bag that looked really tasty, as if she somehow knew I was thirsty... Fortunately, Master was there, and he stopped me from spending all of my hard-earned Mora in a moment of weakness...
Cyno
Um... I'd rather not talk about him, if that's okay? Oh, no — the General Mahamatra isn't a bad guy or anything. Matter of fact, I have him to thank for bringing me back from Mondstadt to Sumeru and finding me a safe place to stay. It's just that... whenever I'm reminded of the sealing process just before leaving Mondstadt... ooh... the back of my neck starts hurting again...
Kaveh
The General Mahamatra once brought him to our place for a meal. From the moment the fruit arrived on the table, he ranted non-stop about his difficult and stubborn roommate for the entire meal. We didn't get a single word in the whole time. We just nodded along and tried to stifle our laughter. It took a lot of effort.
Nilou
She seems a little absent-minded. If she ever comes to perform around Gandharva Ville, I'm worried she'll end up wandering off into the forest and getting lost... So I'll have to watch out for her, as a responsible trainee forest ranger should.
Amber
Amber is amazing. She's friendly and has tons of enthusiasm, plus she's really brave and always does the right thing... She's the person I admire most of all! She's like a cozy fire that makes everyone around her feel warm. There's no way I'd be where I am today without her... So much time has gone by — I bet she's even more cool and confident than ever these days! Who knows if I'll ever be able to match her.
Kaeya
How's everyone in Mondstadt, are they good? I caused so much trouble back then, I sometimes wonder if I should make some time to go back there and apologize... Hmm, but what if I ran into the Cavalry Captain, and he started teasing me? ...Yeah, there's no rush, maybe I'll leave it a while longer.
Lisa
After all this time, Lisa still calls me "Little Collei" when she writes to me. I feel like by now she... hmm? She calls you "cutie"? Hahaha... Sorry, I don't mean to laugh, um... but I must say, that makes me feel a lot better.
Fischl
..."Prinzessin der Verurteilung"? ...Mmm, nope, sorry. I wasn't in Mondstadt for very long, so I didn't hear of her. That name, though... *grimace*... Ahem, nothing.
Faruzan
Um... To be honest, I don't really know how to handle people like Madam Faruzan... She's always saying that I'm a hardworking student and eager to learn, but that's because I have to be! I'm a slow learner, so I have to put in the extra effort. Oh, there was a time when I accidentally saw her research journal — only for a second, though. It was all written in old script, and I couldn't even make out half of it... Definitely the scariest book in Teyvat!
Hobbies & Personality
Collei's Hobbies
My hobbies? ...Sewing, practicing gliding, and helping people! Hmm? Sounds familiar? Well, that's because... I want to be someone that gives people that warm feeling, too.
Collei's Troubles
"In response to the homo— homogenization of crop species... taken import measures... avoid long-term consumption of fungal foods..." What is the point of all this... They're literally saying, "I don't wanna eat mushrooms," but because they're from the Akademiya, they have to make it sound all complicated!
Favorite Food
Pita pockets are travel-friendly and filling, so they're probably the food I eat the most. But if we're talking about more than just "filling," my favorite food would be... mmm, Fried Radish Balls, I think.
Least Favorite Food
During my wandering days, there were times when I had to crack open Wolfhooks and force them down if I didn't want to go hungry, so there aren't really any foods that I especially hate. If I had to pick one thing that I won't touch, it would be mushrooms of any kind. Nothing to do with the flavor — I just don't want to ever be the one on the receiving end of one of Master's stern lectures...
Feelings About Ascension
Feelings About Ascension: Intro
Does this mean I'm making progress?
Feelings About Ascension: Building Up
I'm starting to feel like... I'm finally a better person than I used to be.
Feelings About Ascension: Climax
Even if it's a life-or-death situation, I'll never need to rely on their power again.
Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion
It probably wouldn't even matter if I unsealed that power now — I've come so far, I think I'd be able to control it, don't you? Well — only one way to find out! Hu-uh! ...Just kidding. My real superpower is all about the adventure experience I've had with you.
Receiving a Gift
Receiving a Gift: I
Mmm... It's delicious! Could you teach me?
Receiving a Gift: II
With skills like this, I bet you never go hungry when you're out in the wilderness, huh?
Receiving a Gift: III
Sorry, Master says I'm not supposed to eat anything that looks suspicious.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- 4★ (Bow) — obtainable via the standard wish/banner, no need to pull on a limited banner.
- The Normal Attack (via Supplicant's Bowmanship) already deals innate Dendro DMG from the start — no need to wait on the Elemental Skill to apply the element.
- The ascension stat is just plain ATK% — no built-in CRIT/EM/DMG Bonus advantage like many other characters, everything has to be rolled from scratch on artifacts.
Role Rankings
Machine-classified by scanning mechanic keywords in the OFFICIAL skill text (not another site's opinion ranking). Characters whose weapon type is inherently elemental (e.g. catalysts, bows) may not show "Does this well" for On-Field even if they can still be played on-field — this is a limit of text-based detection.
