Geo Claymore Tier A DPS
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Noelle worth building?

Noelle is a gift for beginners: pulled from the standard banner, yet she shields, heals, and carries damage all by herself. She shines most at C6, but even below that she's great for farming and clearing normal content. The key stat is DEF — farm the Husk of Opulent Dreams set and DEF-scaling weapons like the craftable Whiteblind. Don't force her as a main DPS in the hardest endgame, but for everyday play she's absolutely worth raising.

Noelle's talents

Favonius Bladework - Maid
Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.

Charged Attack
Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous spinning attacks against all nearby opponents.
At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Breastplate
Summons protective stone armor, dealing Geo DMG to surrounding opponents and creating a shield. The shield's DMG Absorption scales based on Noelle's DEF.
The shield has the following properties:
·When Noelle's Normal and Charged Attacks hit a target, they have a certain chance to regenerate HP for all characters.
·Possesses 150% DMG Absorption efficiency against all Elemental and Physical DMG.

The amount of HP healed when regeneration is triggered scales based on Noelle's DEF.

Noelle is both a dutiful maid and a valiant knight.
Sweeping Time
Gathering the strength of stone around her weapon, Noelle strikes the opponents surrounding her within a large AoE, dealing Geo DMG.
Afterwards, Noelle gains the following effects:
·Larger attack AoE.
·Converts attack DMG to Geo DMG that cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion.
·Increased ATK that scales based on her DEF.

Sometimes, it's not just dust that needs sweeping...
Devotion
When Noelle is in the party but not on the field, this ability triggers automatically when your active character's HP falls below 30%:
Creates a shield for your active character that lasts for 20s and absorbs DMG equal to 400% of Noelle's DEF.
The shield has a 150% DMG Absorption effectiveness against all Elemental and Physical DMG.
This effect can only occur once every 60s.
Nice and Clean
Noelle will decrease the CD of Breastplate by 1s for every 4 Normal or Charged Attack hits she scores on opponents.
One hit may be counted every 0.1s.
Maid's Knighthood
When a Perfect Cooking is achieved on a DEF-boosting dish, Noelle has a 12% chance to obtain double the product.

Combat Rotation

  1. Cast Elemental Skill E "Breastplate" before engaging to create a DEF-scaling shield and deal AoE Geo DMG.
  2. Use Normal/Charged Attacks to build up energy until you reach the 60 needed for the Elemental Burst.
  3. Unleash Elemental Burst Q "Sweeping Time" (costs 60 energy) to convert Normal Attack DMG into unshiftable Geo DMG and boost ATK based on DEF.
  4. While Q is active, chain Normal/Charged Attacks continuously to maximize the converted Geo damage window.
  5. Recast E as soon as it's off cooldown (24s CD, no energy cost) to keep the shield up and trigger its healing chance on hit.
  6. If running Noelle as support/sub-DPS: just cast E for the shield + heal, then swap to your main DPS.
  7. If running Noelle as a solo-carry with DEF gear: loop E → build energy → Q → Normal Attacks throughout the fight.
  8. Track Q's cooldown to time the next cast precisely and maximize Geo-conversion uptime.

Voice Lines & Comments

Official HoYoverse Fetter voice-lines — the character introducing themselves, commenting on allies, sharing likes and their birthday.

Birthday

Since you're always so busy adventuring, there must be so many little things you never get round to, surely? Well, you need not worry about them adding up, because today, I am all yours — your exclusive maid for the entire day! Just leave it all to me! ...Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy birthday!

Self-Introduction

Hello

My name is Noelle, maid of the Knights of Favonius, and it's my pleasure to be joining you on your adventure today. Should you encounter any problems at all at any point throughout your journey, please do not hesitate to call me and I will be delighted to provide you with my full assistance. Yes, starting right now — what do you need?

About Noelle: Discipline

In my job, I do the exact same things every day — a far cry from being a true knight, that's for sure. But ultimately, this is all part of my training, and when it comes to training, actions speak louder than words.

About Noelle: Disagreement

I'm a bit useless in an argument because I can't really explain my reasoning clearly. People find that hard to understand, so instead, I try to just get on with my work in my own way. But then they call me stubborn. All I try to do is convince people with results instead of trying to talk them round... Is that really stubborn of me?

More About Noelle: I

How may I be of assistance? ...Oh, you just want to chat? Okay then! Well, if that's how I can help, then please feel free to chat as long as you'd like.

More About Noelle: II

Not a problem, I'm here to serve in whatever capacity you require. You needn't be concerned about the way I feel. ...Huh? More tool than maid? I disagree! A tool might help you to complete a million tasks to a satisfactory standard, but it feels nothing. I, on the other hand, feel a strong sense of achievement every time I do something for you.

More About Noelle: III

Th—These treats are for me? Oh no, I couldn't, really. Well... Then I'll make some for you too! I'll go right now, right this instant! Half an hour... Ah, okay, maybe an hour, tops. You can busy yourself with other things first, and I'll be sure to deliver them right to you, hot and fresh out of the oven!

More About Noelle: IV

I spend all my days handling the most trivial of matters, but so long as it helps you in your adventure, or makes your life easier in some small way, I couldn't be happier. That's because each time I get a thank-you, it makes me feel like my work at least has some meaning, no matter how insignificant it seems.

More About Noelle: V

Even though I mostly work for the Knights of Favonius, I'm always looking out for ways I can help more people. These days, though, I seem to be spending more and more of my time with you... It might be a bit selfish of me... What do you think?

About Us: Identities

I am devoted to what I do, but make no mistake — I devote myself freely. A maid, to me, is the most liberating job there is. I'm a chef, a gardener, a warrior, a guide... I can be anything you need me to be!

About Us: Reminders

Even when you're too busy to eat three square meals, never eat something if you don't know where it came from, and always maintain a balance between meat and vegetables. Oh, and no swimming right after a meal. Haha, I do hope you're not thinking, "that's too much trouble, I'll just leave it to Noelle," are you? ... Oh... but of course, if you are... Well then, just leave it to me.

About Us: Welcome Party

So I hear you're an Honorary Knight of Favonius? I envy you! I suppose that makes you my senior... Anyway, it's about time someone threw you a welcome party, surely? Leave it to me!

Thoughts About Other Characters

Amber

I really look up to Amber. Not only is she an accomplished knight, but she's a kind person too. She taught me how to make a Baron Bunny. I keep it on my person for luck, and it looks quite alright I think. Oh no, please do not be alarmed. There's no risk of explosion whatsoever.

Klee

I've always been curious as to how she managed to become a fully-fledged knight at such a young age. I actually went to ask her for tips once, but I'd barely started talking to her when she grabbed me by the hand and took me outside the Knights headquarters to play with bombs. I thought it was some kind of training exercise at first, but Jean found us, and we both ended up in solitary confinement...

Jean

Master Jean has always been my role model, both in terms of ability and dedication. She holds herself and others to the same high standards, so if there ever comes a day when I meet with her approval, it will be the ultimate acknowledgment of all my efforts so far. Until then, there's no room for complacency!

Varka

At first I wanted to join his expedition party and do my part as a maid. But the Grand Master said no — it would give him more peace of mind if I stayed behind to take care of things in Mondstadt. It made me so happy to hear how much he values me! ...Okay, so apparently he said the same thing to a lot of people. But that doesn't change the fact he prizes me too!

Kaeya

He's a mysterious character! He comes and goes like the wind, and is always occupied with important business. I like the fact that he delegates some of the smaller jobs to me sometimes, it's nice to feel like part of the team, you know... What do you mean, "errand runner"? I don't see it like that at all! Okay, well yes, technically I run errands for him. But still, I really appreciate it!

Bennett

He's asked me to join the Adventurers' Guild more than a few times, saying that life there would suit me better than with the Knights of Favonius. While I could help him take care of his "dads" like the other adventurers... the Knights hold a special meaning for me, and I'm not ready to give up on becoming one yet. No, I simply cannot accept his offer.

Fischl

I think she's from another world, but I don't know the details. One thing I do know, however, is that she loves the Knights of Favonius' library. She can always be found there with her nose in a book. I bring her some refreshments whenever I go in there to clean, and she always thanks me profusely. When I say profusely... I mean she goes a bit over the top, to be honest, and... I actually don't understand half of what she's saying.

Fischl

So once when I was cleaning the library, I noticed a book on the shelf called Flowers for Princess Fischl. At the time I assumed it was just a fantasy novel... I was so surprised to find out the main character is a real person. I could hardly believe it! She must be someone incredible to have a whole book dedicated to her.

Barbara

We take tea breaks together sometimes. Often she'll start humming a tune, saying inspiration has come to her. I'm not the right person to give useful feedback on anything musical... But I still love spending time with Barbara.

Hobbies & Personality

Noelle's Hobbies

My hobby? I really like washing all sorts of things... clothes, floorboards, windows, you name it! Whenever I see something dirty, I just want to give it a good old clean! It gives me such a sense of achievement! ...Oh, you mean the things I do in my free time? Hmm... Same answer!

Noelle's Troubles

How to get more for your Mora? Last time I went all the way to Liyue, I visited every single shop to compare prices, and then carried everything back myself... I won't be doing that again though. I was on the road for so long that Jean was convinced I'd been gobbled up by Stormterror along the way!

Favorite Food

My favorite is easily a Satisfying Salad. The best of Mondstadt's natural produce on one plate — highly nutritious, and a low calorie count. No, I never get sick of eating it — it's delicious! I've been eating it for ten years now.

Least Favorite Food

I'm not a fussy eater, but I really don't like banquets... The reason being, as the maid, I'm expected to sample every single dish on the table to ensure its quality. Just one bite of each, of course, but it all adds up... Oh, the guilt...

Feelings About Ascension

Feelings About Ascension: Intro

What is this... new power!? Thank you! Now I can be of assistance to even more people.

Feelings About Ascension: Building Up

I cannot rest on my laurels. After all, I'm not even formally a knight yet. Until that day, I must work even harder.

Feelings About Ascension: Climax

Thank you for the opportunity to accompany you on your adventures, it's taught me a lot and I believe I have improved a lot. As a maid, I should be the one serving you, but it seems you have done more for me than I could ever imagine...

Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion

Everyone in Mondstadt is saying that I'm much more reliable now. Some even say that I'm to be made a true knight soon, but I don't think— What? You think so too? Awwww... Thank you! Coming from you, that is the best compliment I could ever hope for!

Receiving a Gift

Receiving a Gift: I

How can you make such a simple dish taste so good? My admiration towards you just keeps growing!

Receiving a Gift: II

This tastes wonderful! Uh, would you mind teaching me how to make this? After all, it is my duty as a maid...

Receiving a Gift: III

Hmm... This is more than I normally eat in a whole day...

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths
  • Can restore HP for the team via I Got Your Back.
  • Can shield the team via Breastplate.
  • The core mechanic (via Breastplate) scales with DEF — DEF% is a rarely-contested artifact substat, usually easy to roll extra of.
  • 4★ (Claymore) — obtainable via the standard wish/banner, no need to pull on a limited banner.
Weaknesses
  • Since it scales with DEF (via Breastplate), most teammates' ATK%/EM buffs are nearly useless on it — needs its own dedicated DEF gear/weapon.
  • The ascension stat is just plain DEF% — no built-in CRIT/EM/DMG Bonus advantage like many other characters, everything has to be rolled from scratch on artifacts.
  • The Devotion mechanic only triggers once the character's own HP drops below a certain threshold — you must risk low HP to get the effect.
