Short-Range Rapid Interdiction FireShort-Range Rapid Interdiction Fire
Chevreuse quickly shoulders her musket and fires at her opponent(s), dealing AoE Pyro DMG.
For a short duration after Chevreuse fires a shot, she will continuously restore HP to your active character on the field. The amount healed is based on her Max HP.
Hold to fire in a different fashion.

Hold
Enter Aiming Mode, locking a target in her sights to fire a precise interdiction shot. If Chevreuse has an Overcharged Ball, then she will fire the Overcharged Ball instead, dealing greater Pyro DMG in a larger area.
Chevreuse gains 1 Overcharged Ball every time a nearby character in the party triggers an Overloaded reaction, and can have up to 1 Overcharged Ball at a time.

Arkhe: Ousia
Periodically, after Chevreuse's Short-Range Rapid Interdiction Fire hits, a Surging Blade will be called forth that deals Ousia-aligned Pyro DMG.

"Actually, training regulations only had the phrase "interdiction fire," but the protagonist of this novel believes that even how stylish your terminology is can affect how motivated your troops are, which can put your opponents on the back foot right from the get-go... I think that's a good point, so I changed the regulations!"

Ring of Bursting GrenadesRing of Bursting Grenades
Chevreuse fires an explosive grenade at opponents with her musket, dealing AoE Pyro DMG. After the projectile hits, it will split into many secondary explosive shells.
The secondary explosive shells will burst after a short interval, dealing Pyro DMG to nearby opponents.

"Theoretically, a rectangular blast would be most efficient at destroying enemy formations. Unfortunately, the cross-section of an explosive shock wave is round, like most cakes. So, the secondary explosive shells can only be arranged like the fruit on a cake, forming a ring around the edge."

TitleText
Character DetailsIn the Court of Fontaine, where the corpus juris is exceedingly well-developed — some might even say convoluted — there are many odd ordinances that can confound and confuse foreign tourists.
For example, fruit tarts may not be placed directly on unheated platters, unfinished Fonta may not be intentionally placed in the middle of roads, and one must not forget to trim the claws of pet felines...
Violations are thus difficult to avoid. But Fontainians are quite familiar with such matters, quickly ascertaining the gravity of an offense and deciding on a course of action based on the identity of the one sent to deal with the matter.
If it is only a member of the establishment's staff, then perhaps a simple debate will be sufficient to resolve the issue; who doesn't enjoy a lively atmosphere? If it is a uniformed Gestionnaire, then all onlookers will have to suffer through an insufferably long-winded admonishment, and it's best to vacate the premises. If it is an officer of the Maison Gardiennage, then the parties involved won't get off scot-free, and may even have to pay fines. In this case, it's best to immediately clarify that you are an innocent bystander, and are in no way involved with the case.
However, if the one to come calling is the Captain of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol with her tall cap and musket slung across her back, along with a squad of Special Patrol officers...
Well, that means a particularly vicious case is unfolding, or perhaps a hoodlum is to be violently apprehended, or some fiendish felon has kidnapped a hostage... In any case, the only thing to do in such a situation is to quickly evacuate in accordance with the instructions given by the Special Patrol and give these "Felon Management Specialists" room to work their magic. At the same time, keep a tight leash on your curiosity and do not attempt to conceal yourself in a nearby hidey-hole. seeking to observe their law-enforcement activities from a close distance. Even if you wish to interview them, then wait until their work is done.
Most importantly, there's no need to feel unsafe, and even less cause for fear.
For as all Fontainians know, any hope criminals have to escape the long arm of the law flees whenever Captain Chevreuse is on the scene.
Character Story 1"If you don't behave, the Special Patrol's going to take you away!"
Such is the start of many a scolding given by Fontainian parents to a troublemaking child.
Children who have grown up with such threats from their parents, understand very clearly that the Special Patrol will never take action because a child didn't brush their teeth, slept in, broke a window, or swiped a slice of cake. Still, though they have long since matured into adults, they cannot help but stand up a bit straighter when they see Captain Chevreuse, averting their gaze and instinctually wringing their hands, mortally afraid that they might have committed some offense worthy of arrest without having even been aware of the nature of their crime. Yet despite being crystal clear that these fine officers are fighting crime, and regardless of their reverence for such upstanding upholders of the law, it is truly difficult to suppress the urge to tense up...
As for this "fearsome, infamous reputation," the Special Patrol themselves are quite exasperated. A member once suggested to Chevreuse that allowing such an "infamous reputation" to circulate is damaging to the Special Patrol's image: "The Special Patrol is an official law enforcement office under the Maison Gardiennage, after all, and if our methods of enforcing the law are more forceful, and the process thereof more intense, it's only because the criminals we deal with are the most vile and violent of them all. So to use the Special Patrol's good name to frighten children really is a bit..."
"Why not let Chevreuse give The Steambird an interview? Let our Captain stress that the Special Patrol is a law enforcement organization only focused on dealing with the worst offenders, and everything it does is to safeguard Fontaine's safety and stability, in pursuit of which it would never accost citizens without good cause..."
Yet Chevreuse vetoed this suggestion.
"If such a reputation has really become so deeply embedded in the minds of the people, and it sticks with them for a lifetime, then there's a chance that when someone considers taking things a step too far, fear inspired by our 'infamous reputation' may pull them back from the edge."
"...If so, then there'll be no need for us to actually take them away someday."
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2
Character Story 2As one of the departments central to upholding the binding nature of Fontaine's laws and decrees, the "Court of Fontaine Grand Maison Gardiennage" is a solemn and dignified institution, and all law enforcement personnel must undergo rigorous examinations and instruction. Their every word and action reflects on the Maison Gardiennage, and represents the laws of the Court of Fontaine, so there is zero room for errors or negligence.
However, the way the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol of the Court of Fontaine does things is markedly different from other law enforcement agencies. Members are not required to use standardized weapons, nor must they wear uniforms outside of formal occasions... Additionally, after Chevreuse took command of the Special Patrol, many of its members began using muskets as part of their law enforcement arsenals, and some even began to refuse to go on missions with Gardemeks on the basis that not only can an immobile meka block their line of fire, but there's a distinct danger of criminals taking control of said meka and turning them against the squad. Furthermore, when selecting recruits, the Special Patrol will even accept the descendants of criminals whose households had been stripped of all honor...
For the sake of quickly solving the most heinous of cases, the Maison Gardiennage is willing to overlook all those issues, displaying great forbearance towards Chevreuse and the Special Patrol. But what they simply cannot abide is how Chevreuse is willing to invite serious felons to participate in cases she is handling as "special consultants."
Though Chevreuse stridently maintains that this is purely to catch vicious criminals as soon as possible, many colleagues still believe that relying on lawbreakers to help arrest lawbreakers is an insult to both the laws of Fontaine and those who enforce them. Should such humiliations continue, what dignity would remain for the Maison Gardiennage and the law itself?
Faced with such pointed questions, Chevreuse always gives the same simple response:
"The greatest insult to the law is a criminal roaming free and unpunished."
"And as for the 'dignity' of the Maison Gardiennage, it isn't even worthy of comparison with the safety of the Court of Fontaine."
This, too, is one of her father's teachings.
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3
Character Story 3"Monsieur Donatello is an upstanding officer of the law."
When Chevreuse discusses her father with others, she always offers this simple, curt evaluation. This is also one of the only two impressions she has of her father from her childhood.
Donatello was always busy, leaving hurriedly in the mornings and returning exhausted at night before giving Chevreuse and her mother a hug, gently apologizing for making them wait so long. Sometimes he would return exceptionally late, bringing his daughter sweet treats. Alas, having long since already brushed her teeth, it was also too late for her to have any more sugar.
Such gifts were a rare treat, and yet their luster would fade by morning, and so Chevreuse's mother would allow little Chevreuse to lick a bit of cream off before sending said dessert to her father's bedroom along with a cup of coffee.
At this time, her father would always be facing a wall covered in pictures and thumbtacks, at times staring blankly at it, at others pacing in circles, smoking, tousling his hair, and sometimes raising his fists in sudden triumph, before slowly lowering them and helplessly pounding the table— Chevreuse bore silent witness to all this, peeping in from behind the door.
Sometimes, when she ran into her father on the street, she would excitedly wave, but at most he would return a slight smile before throwing himself back into his myriad tasks.
"He's an upright, good man."
Her mother, neighbors, his colleagues, and even the kids next door all praised her father thusly.
But one day, those colleagues who were always praising her father as an upstanding man suddenly came knocking at her door.
Her mother was at a complete loss as she watched them come and go from her home. Though Chevreuse stayed in her room, from the commotion outside her door, she had already vaguely guessed that her father had become a "sinner" like those he had once pursued, and was at that moment awaiting sentencing, and might even be banished to the Fortress of Meropide.
"Did Papa... do something wrong?"
This was the question she asked the strange adults beside her. After much choking back of tears, the reply finally came:
"...Nonetheless, he is an upstanding officer of the law."
An upstanding sinner.
This became Chevreuse's second impression of her father from her childhood.
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4
Character Story 4Even the most acclaimed authors of Fontaine would struggle to explain to a child why a suspect to whom all the evidence clearly pointed could not be convicted. Why everyone maintained their silence as an innocent officer of the law was falsely accused. Why many who witnessed the crime refused to speak the truth. And why the victim of the miscarriage of justice must pay with their own reputation and future for justice to finally make an appearance.
Even harder to explain is why the path to justice must be paved with crime.
But for Chevreuse, what was most concrete were the changes in her life wrought by her entire family moving to the Fleuve Cendre.
A narrow room, the food less tasty, friends who now never contacted her, and a mother growing more fatigued by the day... Her father's colleagues often came by in plainclothes, bringing all kinds of gifts with them. In addition to their presents, they brought news as well. They told her mother of the appeal they were all working so hard on — not just the Gardes and the members of the Special Patrol, but even several Gestionnaires who oft worked with them — and how despite the fact Donatello had broken the law was indisputable and established fact, and legally speaking his sentence could not be commuted or shortened, they at least could ensure he didn't need to endure further castigation. It was all of scant comfort to her mother, whose worries did not subside.
To take care of her mother, Chevreuse didn't hesitate to take up burdens that one as young as she should never have had to shoulder, stepping into the dark currents that swirled through the Fleuve Cendre.
Perhaps it was because the residents of the Fleuve Cendre had heard tell of or been on the receiving end of her upright father's care that so many helping hands were extended to her. A well-meaning shop owner gave her a job, and the couple next door often took care of her infirm mother.
And when the children of the Fleuve Cendre heard that the child of a Garde had come to live among them, they flocked to her like plaintiffs and defendants, seeking her arbitration on all manner of quarrels and disputes.
"Chevreuse! You gotta uphold justice, y'know!"
So cried the children with one voice, before laughing as one. They did not truly intend to allow Chevreuse to determine who was at fault, but rather saw it all as merely another game.
Yet the next day, Chevreuse brought a thick stack of legal materials when she went to see them, along with a notebook newly opened to the first page, and began speaking to the chortling children in a tone most serious.
"Very well. Let both sides present their evidence."
And from that day forward, the Fleuve Cendre had one more enforcer of the law — the littlest one around. But unlike the law enforcement officers aboveground, all judgments rendered by Chevreuse were executed under her personal supervision.
There in the sewers, she learned many ways to ensure that "justice" would be upheld.

Character Story 5"...Then, Ms. Chevreuse, in accordance with the findings of this court, your father did indeed violate the regulations of the Gardes, leaking secret intelligence regarding a serious case, and for this reason, he was exiled to the Fortress of Meropide."
"From that moment onward, you followed your mother and moved to the Fleuve Cendre... As for your father's charges, and your experiences while living in the Fleuve Cendre, please provide a supplementary statement for this court."
"Regarding my experiences living in the Fleuve Cendre, my statement is as follows..."
Her father, Donatello, exiled for violating the law. Her poverty-stricken family forced to move to the Fleuve Cendre. A child of a sinner, unable to work for the Maison Gardiennage, and thus seeking to fight crime as a member of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol...
As the Captain of the Special Patrol was hearing her case, Chevreuse found herself explaining herself and reading her statement over and over. Having finished serving his sentence, her father Donatello was now serving in the Special Patrol. He had pored over her statement, and it had nary a single mistake or blemish.
Though it had been a long time since he was ousted from his former post, Donatello still understood the Maison Gardiennage's thinking. If Chevreuse was to take up the post of Captain of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol without issue, she would need to provide the good folks at the Maison Gardiennage with a sufficiently "decent" statement, such that they might clearly and firmly — yet with a bit of wiggle room — announce her appointment.
Chevreuse was no longer a child. She knew full well that her father had leaked classified intelligence regarding a major case to utilize the resulting interest from the press to assist in investigating that criminal. After her family moved to the Fleuve Cendre, the Gardes who visited — ranking officers among them — had surreptitiously provided aid, so their situation could not be considered too dire. Furthermore, the officers and members of the Special Patrol had made preparations ahead of time for Chevreuse to learn from them in the field, learning all about the relevant work in advance...
But saying all of that would be of no help to Chevreuse in taking over as Captain.
Though Donatello was still uneasy about his daughter following in his footsteps, she had completed all the training he had prepared for her. Chevreuse had given it her all, passing even those trials designed expressly to frustrate and vex her.
As Chevreuse plunged forward in the bone-chillingly freezing winter seas, it seemed to take every last ounce of Donatello's willpower to stand still and watch instead of running forth to cradle her in his embrace. As Chevreuse swam back to his side, trembling and shivering, Donatello knew that his daughter was stronger than he was, and even more suited to uphold "justice."
But today, let all of that be washed away into eternal silence amid the waters of the Fleuve Cendre.
For this father and daughter who long ago had swum together in the icy winter seas, it was now time to take a step forward.
"...My father violated Gardes regulations. The evidence of his guilt is conclusive, and the results of the hearing were correct."
With her final assertion of the facts of the case, Chevreuse folded up the draft of her speech.
Hereafter, justice would make its appearance, all in good time.

The Special Security and Surveillance Patrol Type-II Standard MusketCompared to the initial configuration, the improved version of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol's standard musket features a modified butt stock that better fits human shoulders, as well as a longer barrel. Some specialized Type-II muskets feature all-purpose rails attached below the barrel and to the stock. Scopes, grenade launchers, smokescreen launchers, sonic boom launchers, and all kinds of melee weapons are among the various accessories that can be attached to the mounts, allowing them to be adapted for virtually any kind of combat mission.
However, while she was modifying muskets to improve the team's combat capabilities, Chevreuse also raised the evaluation standards for firearms proficiency, adding several requirements not related to firearms themselves, such as unarmed combat.
"The raison d'etre for the Special Patrol is capturing criminals, not strutting around showing off your gun!"
"What are you gonna do, refuse a mission if you can't bring your musket?"
And thus, thanks to the Type-II Standard Musket, the amount of training required vastly increased once more.
Naturally, Chevreuse herself completed 100% of every single training program.
Seeing their captain standing strong like an ironwoman in the middle of the practice field, the members of the patrol spoke out spontaneously, yet with one heart and one voice:
"Captain, please have mercy on us...!"

VisionThe Captain of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol, Chevreuse, rarely discusses how she obtained her Vision of her own accord. To others, she says the reason is because the authority and prestige of the Special Patrol comes from the law and justice. By focusing too much on "Visions," it would only create misunderstandings. To preserve the law's standing, it is better not to discuss such things.
But those close to Chevreuse know that this Vision is much more akin to a heavy burden for her.
After Chevreuse joined the Special Patrol, she used her extraordinary talent and perseverance to complete all kinds of internal training programs, memorizing every rule, regulation, and standard for Special Patrol operations along with the related statutes. Without question, she was first in her class, and her pursuit of "justice" was widely admired by other members.
But the officer in charge of them, Vice Captain Grizzetti, disagreed, and he never selected Chevreuse for field missions. Other members could only guess why: Perhaps it was to protect her? After all, he was once close with her father Donatello, and had taken care of her. They were so close that Chevreuse was said to call him "Uncle Grizzetti." Or maybe he was planning to groom her to take on some particularly important job?
Chevreuse didn't think about such complicated matters. After the sixth time she was excluded from a mission, she could bear it no longer and finally asked the usually amiable Uncle Grizzetti why he never chose her for fieldwork.
"You're not ready."
Came the reply.
"Fix your conception of justice first, Chevreuse. If your understanding of it is limited to an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, then it would be best for you to leave this place. This is not some lynching site. This is where the voice of justice must ring true."
At the time, Chevreuse had not yet grasped this, nor did she even know just when she would be ready. Perhaps she would spend her entire life trying to understand. Or perhaps she would have to be ready the very next second.
Soon, Grizzetti found himself shorthanded during an urgent mission hunting down a gang of notorious criminals. With no choice but to call on Chevreuse, he repeatedly warned her to stay close, follow orders, and not act without permission. And then it was time to move out, and the various members filed out into the howling tempest to close off every possible route the gang of criminals could take.
Chevreuse and Grizzetti concealed themselves behind some shrubbery, but the criminals did not appear. Just as the two of them began to think their intelligence was mistaken and were preparing to withdraw quietly, a shot rang out from a hidden position, and Grizzetti was struck. Chevreuse counterattacked nearly instantly, using the muzzle flash in the darkness to sight the criminal's position before hitting them with a single precise bullet. But Uncle Grizzetti had already sunk into eternal silence.
Now, only Chevreuse and the killer remained. The howling wind and torrential downpour would conceal the sound of another gunshot, and the Special Patrol... They might not inquire too closely in the case of how this fiend who had murdered one of their colleagues had been shot dead.
But more importantly, the killer was right in front of her. If she wished to carry out justice, now was the time. She lifted her musket, aimed right between his eyes... and then lowered the gun.
The Special Security and Surveillance Patrol speaks only in the name of justice, and true "justice" can only be decided by the courts. Perhaps this was what it meant to be "ready" to become a member of the Special Patrol.
"This is the Court of Fontaine Special Security and Surveillance Patrol. You are under arrest."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the killer began to hobble away, seeking to flee without the slightest hesitation. With the crack of a musket, the man was struck squarely in his right leg. He cried out in agony, cursing as he rolled on the ground, finally coming to a stop before the feet of the other Patrol members who had rushed over.
The "justice" of the law is meted out by the courts, but as for Chevreuse's own personal justice, that is carried out by her alone.
As Chevreuse finally completely lowered her musket, she had yet to notice a Vision was now hanging from the stock.
In the lashing wind and rain, its glow was not readily apparent, much like justice yet to be revealed — pale and dark.

  1. I just realized a use for my cope Dehya. Slotting her with Dehya and Raiden will allow some nice Pyro shred, whilst also somewhat fixing Dehyas absolutely atrocious energy economy thanks to Raidens burst. Chasing everything is going to be annoying, but eh. Maybe they’ll give us a good crowd controller that isn’t an Anemo (Cope). Shame she can’t be used with Furina, that would have made her so much better, but alas. Now I’m just waiting for a dedicated Pyro buffer that will absolutely never materialize.

  3. Chevy might be the first mid and/or failed character release in fontaine. same old split scaling nonsense. specific overload buff with next to no pyro application kit to reliably trigger said buff. definitely not worth it to build an entire overload team over vape/melt or even dendro reactions. Mhy try to hyping up overload to save Dehya, but I dont think it will work unless overload dmg scaling can compete with vape/melt or at least close to that, and without dying or be blown away while executing overload

    • You can completely ignore the split-scaling, build her as a dps with full ATK/Pyro DMG/Crit, and still give a minimum of +19% ATK (no HP substat rolls, no HP weapons) to party members from her A4.

    • Well ofc characters who already have reaction teams won’t benefit from her
      But now consider characters who don’t have amazing access to reactions (Dehya. Raiden, Lyney) for those characters she condenses roles and frees up Kazuha and Bennett for another team
      She isn’t better than Kaz and Bennett obviously but she’s a very competent replacement and removes the need for circle impact

      • The big problem is most people will look at her and immediately see she’s worse than Bennett/Kazuha and forget about her. There is no point releasing niche units if they aren’t head an shoulders better than universal equivalents in their specific niche, which she obviously isn’t. Bennett and Kazuha are a problem that have plagued this game for a long time and the fact they’ve tried everything but nerfs to shut them down is all the proof you need that the devs are aware of it.

        • I actually like Kazuha he’s fun to play, but Bennett is literally just super op with 0 effort, he gets burst back up on CD every time and gives 1000 atk to any unit
          So if I can replace Bennett in at least some of my teams (And I’ve done basic calcs for several characters like Yae and Fischl, they have very strong potential) I’ll be happy

          • It’s the same with Kazuha imo, just put in and brainlessly swirl for 70% dmg buff to the points it made all other Anemo units redundant until Furina, but that’s fair. As long as you enjoy playing him, that’s all that matters in the end.
            Chevreuse is never going to replace Bennett though, he’ll be right there with her as the go to buffer in these niche comps their trying to create. We’ll never get an actual pyro support to replace him, because they know full well it’s not possible without heavy nerfs to Bennett or outright breaking Hu Tao. He’s an utter plague to potential future Pyro units, just like Mirage in Warframe was to new weapons. Same applies to Xiangling and off field Pyro.

    • I agree, her pyro application is underwhelming and even xinyan can periodically apply pyro with her lvl 3 shield skill. Kinda wish they made her bombs stay for a little longer like klee’s mines/aloy’s freeze bombs/yayoyao’s jade radish/kirara’s cardamoms, i mean you get the idea. Or perhaps make her have a passive that can infuse her weapon with pyro like diluc’s burst (bc the rifle overheats) so that at least she can still apply pyro with normal atk.

    • she’s pretty good though. she buffs atk if everyone on team unlike Bennett, heals without a circle, res shreds just through the reaction means she has less Supreme than Kazuha, and our second pyro battery, especially more at C1.

      Kazuha is just not warranted enough for overload when many otherwise fight for him and is much better use for him when he struggles to double swirl electro and pyro plus VV is an on field thing. honestly, you would only need to whip out Chevreuse when you need to heal or to refresh her atk buff, assuming C0. at c1+, you spam Overcharged Shot as soon as you can since it gives energy and applying more pyro.

      chevreuse is not really split scaling. overload for Chevreuse is like what Shatter is to Freminet. Freminet doesn’t enhance shatter damage- he just uses it to amplify his damage. likewise, Chevreuse uses the reaction to enhance the team through buffs and debuffs. it’s basically an enabling reaction.

      and there are several characters that may like overloaded more than vape since they are more competent for overloaded than their competition in vape. take Yanfei and Yoimiya for example. yanfei has hardly any drop off in projectile firing and she is a good juggler with a substantial charged attack range. yoimiya can also juggle enemies and would pick off enemies with high susceptibility to knockback with ease. and due to ST nature, she is likely to pair off against a few large enemies than groups of enemies, henc3 where overload is a better choice, especially since it may mean the enemies are bigger targets. Another example is Dehya, who can overload from off field and has the larger of circle impacts of characters. she also lunges forward against enemies during burst just as Raiden does, plus there are more off field electro characters that work with Dehya than say hydro for vape . you can even do an afk overloaded team.

      I think Chevreuse is a large step forward in a right direction. hoyo stopped ignoring these neglected reactions, and using them in some way. they may not be used like Nilou, but actually as a criterion for a quantity of buffs and debuffs.

      just imagine the potential that superconductors can have- hopefully a counter to shields. I’m still awaiting a shield-piercing mechanic just so physical has one less hurdle to jump over to be viable.

    • She ain’t mid though. She is a better overloaded buffer than having to use Bennett with Kazuha which already takes up two spots. Chevreuse may not buff an insane amount of atk but she will res shred pyro and electro way easier than kazuha. She also offers opportunity to chase enemies and is way easier to use against bosses that move around than conforming to circle impact with Bennett + Kazuha together. Imagine trying to use Raiden overloaded against Wenut or Ruin Serpent. You’d be getting Bennett’s atk buff as much as Wenut stays above ground, which is hardly anything.

      Chevreuse also buffs the team so it’s not like Bennett can continually giving atk to a Fischl or Yae Miko. And this worries me about any future off-field pyro dps. If they don’t snapshot, they work less with Bennett than Xiangling which means even harder to buff such a character. That topic aside, Chevreuse gives less atk than Bennett but gives the atk to the team and without any circular restraints. She res shreds electro and pyro without Kazuha needing Bennett like kazuha does, and she does so off-field, so she is even better for enemies with innate auras such as pyro innate elements.

      And Chevreuse herself counters overload knockback. Her burst pushes enemies towards her via explosion as does her C2 consecutive explosion. Chevreuse won’t solve any knockback done by others but makes chasing them less awful than with Bennett where, oops, you run out of the buffing circle which means less atk and less healing She’d definitely be a better choice than Bennett in the 4.3 abyss thanks to top half making Tulpa do double damage while within Bennett circle and the bottom half having enemies spawn opposite sides.

  5. I think an old fashioned overload setup should be viable [Regular Build Pyro DPS + Chevy + EM Electro + Anemo]. Her Team Restricted RES Shred is replaced by the Anemo unit, the lack of easy double swirl isn’t as bad since the Electro is mainly just dealing Overload [Pyro] damage, and the there’s CC so you dont have as much issues with knockback.

    Overburn should work similarly, just replacing the Pyro DPS with a Dendro unit. Chevy tosses a Skill/Burst to apply Pyro, while the Dendro/Anemo spread Burning around. These two teams are more of an AOE archetype, but that goes without saying.

    I just worry about her current position in the beta. She seems reasonably strong in her niche (for a 4*), and has decent use outside of it just based off of her role alone (First Pyro Healer that isn’t Bennett). I can see some pretty hefty nerfs coming her way if she isn’t careful. I pray she can dodge them, for the sake of my sanity. If she’s gotta take a hit, at least don’t weaken her Utility/Support at C0. I can take a dip in personal damage if that’s what it takes to keep her intact.

    On the side of optimism, if she manages to make it out unscathed im looking at Rightful Reward R5. Energy Refund, HP%, and high base ATK for some potentially OK SubDPS (Homegirl is getting that Triple Crown just for being a Pyro Healer, as I promised months ago). Sounds nice for hybrid builds.

    • That would be true if Chevy released with Clorinde, and Chevy was actually an overload support
      Chevy is a normal DPS support that just uses overload, which means Clorinde is more likely to be a raw electro dps over an overload dps
      As for Clorinde losing hp, that’s not guaranteed nor would it be a drawback, if Clorinde loses hp she could use hunter set and Chevy would heal her constantly
      Clorinde may also use the 3.6 artifacts, her and Arlecchino are the most likely users of those sets

    • Call me crazy but…

      Sword Mode Clorinde uses Electro Charged related bonuses. Rapid Multihit attacks since consistent reaction ownership is too tough in Taser anyways. Probably some generic
      DPS boost when hitting an EC’d enemy to encourage the reaction. Spamming Thunder Strikes FTW.

      Gun Mode Clorinde uses Overload related playstyle and bonuses. Slower Homing AOE attacks for consistent reaction triggering. Likely another reaction related passive to encourage the Overload-fest. Big Boom, nuff said.

      As for the HP loss thing… Freminet, Freminet, Chevy, and Charlotte called. HP Manipulation is a common trend in Fontaine, but not a hard rule. Granted, you *could* say Charlotte and Chevy manipulate HP through healing, but you get what I mean.

      • Only self healing should be considered HP manipulation, the 2 there are just normal healers
        If Clorinde is to use overload I could see it being a similar gimmick to Chevy’s overcharged ball mechanic, a single pistol shot that gets a massive multiplier after overload has been triggered
        As a duelist I’d prefer Clorinde to have longer reaching thrusting NAs personally
        Navia’s kit is pretty much how I first imagined Clorinde

      • my theory is that Clorinde would be an on-field Beidou, basically meaning that electro charged let’s Clorinde do chain damage, basically an AoE type of a different measurement.

        my theory is that Clorinde has a skill that fires and marks enemies. when Navia has a shotgun and Chevreuse having an overcharged ball with explosions is an RPG, Clorinde would have a sniper rifle. Chevreuse would shoot a bullet that marks an enemy which tethers the mark onto other enemies.

        then Clorinde would have a passive talent where triggering electro charged on a marked enemy would cause Clorinde’s next attacks to deal chained damage, which damages other enemies tethered to that enemy.

        or when Clorinde is off field, electro charged on an enemy with another character would cause the damage upon that enemy to be shared with enemies tethered to them.

        basically, Clorinde would be like a different kind of Nahida where you don’t need to remark enemies since a marked enemy would naturally mark other enemies, and this can be done without holding the skill to mark everyone around you.
