Dashes nimbly forward with silken steps. Once this dash ends, Chiori will summon the automaton doll "Tamoto" beside her and sweep her blade upward, dealing AoE Geo DMG to nearby opponents based on her ATK and DEF.
Holding the Skill will cause it to behave differently.

Hold
Enter Aiming Mode to adjust the dash direction.

Tamoto
· Will slash at nearby opponents at intervals, dealing AoE Geo DMG based on Chiori's ATK and DEF.
· While active, if there are nearby Geo Construct(s) or Geo Construct(s) are created nearby, an additional Tamoto will be summoned next to your active character. Only 1 additional Tamoto can be summoned in this manner, and its duration is independently counted.

"Sakura red dyes the brocade, the fragrance suffuses the sleeves, the orioles intoxicated."

Character DetailsYou push open the doors to the boutique. Situated on one of Fontaine's busiest thoroughfares, it is named for its designer.
The crisp ringing of a bell chimes from above as if wishing luck to all customers who step through the door. If the rumors swirling about have even a grain of truth to them, then perhaps such blessings will come in handy.
"Welcome to the Chioriya Boutique, how may I help you?" The greeting that reaches your ears, while perhaps lacking somewhat in enthusiasm, is filled with assurance.
The owner of the voice shoots you a glance from behind the counter. A striking foreigner with captivating eyes — just like they said.
"A personalized, custom job? Or something off the shelf?" Her second question. The tone fills you with a certain feeling — as though the second someone steps through the door, even the highest-ranking aristocrat becomes merely a guest in her kingdom, while she sits high upon her throne, allowing supplicants to choose from among the blessings she offers.
"I'd like tailor-made formal attire." You say. Her expression softens a little. It appears that in this kingdom, customizing the cut of the cloth to the customer and designing a personalized outfit in the Kingdom's name is something worth a smile.
Perhaps this is the best possible outcome, you muse to yourself. After all, those who recommended the shop to you not only all praised the exquisite handiwork of this designer, but some nearly couldn't stop themselves from opening wide their wardrobes to show off the dazzling contents within, as though they wished nothing more than to shove you inside to bask in the clothes' glory for a day. They even say that the owner of the shop is rarely found within, and if she is on the premises, that means she is in a good mood.
But you quietly swallow all the same, for you know when fortune does not hold you in her fickle favor, then all manner of unimaginable and outrageous things may occur when the owner is in, such as...
Before you can even get a handle on your thoughts and feelings, the bell above the door screams a metallic protest. The boutique's door has been kicked wide open by a man swaying and rocking, foul breath reeking of alcohol and language yet more foul spilling out of his mouth.
"I—I won! I won the bet, the Boss is in toda—" Though you could not clearly see just what happened, before he even finished speaking, he suddenly flew out the window, drawing an elegant arc through the air.
Chiori brushes her hands and closes the window, before saying to you, as if nothing had happened, "Apologies, the weather has been somewhat inclement of late. All kinds of trash have come blowing into my shop. It's been taken care of, so pay it no heed."
It appears this kingdom does not welcome all unconditionally.
Character Story 1"Ms. Chiori, what past experiences did you have that forged the success you now enjoy?" — A reporter once asked her this question.
Chiori had hesitated as she searched for an appropriate response in her memories, but simply could not find a good answer. After all, in her own estimation, there was nothing special at all about her past.
Chiori was born into a family of merchants. Though not well-off by any means, she had lacked for nothing in her childhood. Busy with their business, her parents had not been overly strict with her. This, her parents joked, is what had created her carefree and unbridled nature.
At the age when many young girls began to study the art of tea or of flowers, Chiori was climbing trees and catching fish with other children... It wasn't that her parents never tried to get her to learn. But making Chiori sit quietly in front of a tea table for an entire day? Why, that would be the death of her (and of her teacher).
—Alright, then let's just have her study the art of the sword, said her father.
Before long, Chiori was carrying two swords with her to class. "Two is obviously better," she declared, boldly and confidently, dual blades in hand.
Her teacher had never seen a student with — his words to her father were tactfully chosen — such personality. And thus a seething Chiori was sent back home.
Similar scenes played out many times, yet Chiori's parents were never too harsh with her, only believing "That's just how she is."
Until one day, Chiori's mother came home to discover her sitting quietly before the table, staring entranced at a bolt of high-quality fabric. The Chiori that was normally bouncing off the walls was nowhere to be found.
"Do you like it?" Asked her mother. "It feels so smooth," came little Chiori's blunt answer, "And it's so pretty, how was it made?"
And thus, in the days that followed, Chiori sent tailoring teacher after teacher storming off in frustration, just as before. But at the same time, she also learned many tailoring techniques.
Also, in all fairness, it should be mentioned that Chiori was already far more well-behaved with the tailors than she had been with all those other teachers.

Character Story 2When the news of Inazuma's Sakoku policy reached Fontaine, the topics of tea-table discussions centered around the "Raiden Shogun" over there, that "Vision Hunt Decree," and those ceaseless thunderstorms on the islands, as though discussing some sort of fantastical anecdotes.
After all, even the loudest thunderclap cannot be heard across the vastness of the sea to the dome of the sky above their heads.
But the people of Fontaine could never have imagined that a storm that would imminently engulf Fontaine had at that time already left the shores of Inazuma, and was quietly heading for them. And the name of that storm was "Chiori."
The storm took shape on the journey out of Inazuma. From the very beginning, it had decided to let loose its thunder upon the streets of Fontaine — the capital of fashion and the City of the Arts.
At first, it was only a few rumblings from the diverse firmament of the fashion world that nobody paid much heed to.
"It's just a fad, that's all," "It'll be forgotten in a few days"... That's what they all said at first, as though they were discussing nothing more than a cat of unusual coloration that had appeared on the streets.
Yet after this storm named "Chiori" struck that year's Fontaine Fashion Week, nearly all could hear the echoes of its thunderous fury reverberating throughout Fontaine.
In a flash, the headlines of Fontaine's papers were completely occupied with a foreign name.
Some critics have opined that quality clothes are not just for looking at, but can also be "heard." In this aspect, Chiori had succeeded. Every stitch and thread of her clothes told a story: the echoes of waves, the breathing of a forest, a sweet spring gushing forth in the desert...
Naturally, the "old guard" of the fashion world could not tolerate this foreign interloper encroaching upon their territory, and thus raised their banners and declared war upon this "invader," using various methods.
Yet everyone can see how it ended. Not only did they taste the bitterness of defeat, but some of them — for the first time in their lives — tasted the feeling of falling butt-first into the gutter.

Character Story 3It is unclear when the Chioriya Boutique gained the nickname of "intelligence boutique." Even Chiori herself is at a bit of a loss as to how this occurred. It's almost as if all she needs to do is share some of the information she has overheard in her shop with her friends, and it will have a tremendous impact on certain matters.
Later, she came to understand that rather than the Chioriya Boutique being the source of reams of intelligence, it was better to say that rivers of intelligence flowed of their own accord through her doors.
Those impeccably dressed merchants and government dignitaries were a kaleidoscopic flock of butterflies, each scattering the pollen known as "intelligence" from their fluttering wings onto that gorgeous flower called the Chioriya Boutique. Their actual intention was not to pollinate this flower, but rather to flaunt just how much pollen they had to the other butterflies. They consider the amount of information one had on them to be far more worthy of taking pride in than the quantity of gems sewn into one's garments.
—Have you heard? So-and-so has yet another new flame!
—Oh, and that one, they seem to have sealed a huge deal with the one from the Maison Gardiennage!
—You mean the one in charge of transportation? Now I've heard that what he's really transporting is...
—Shh! You can't say that out loud!
...
If she really had to choose, Chiori would rather not listen to all this. She feels allergic to this sort of pollen, with the primary symptom being difficulty in quietly and wholeheartedly focusing on clothing. Thus, when designing new styles and products, she generally does not show up in her shop.
But after realizing the value of such intelligence, she began to take a certain amount of notice on behalf of others. Should the interests of friends or the safety of Fontaine be involved, she would kindly send a letter to give a friendly reminder, or do so to their face. For her, this is no different from tailoring clothes — sewing each element into its proper place.
In accordance with a businessperson's principles, Chiori naturally collects some small tokens of "repayment." After all, as she is wont to say: It's only business if there's an exchange.

Character Story 4If you truly wish to understand Chiori's designs, then you must witness Chiori fashioning clothes with your own eyes.
The first time people see said designs, it's as if they cannot comprehend what is before them. Does this designer not know what "rules" are? How can women's clothes be tailored like men's? How can men's formalwear use women's fabrics?
Yet there is some quality within that attracts them, and halts them in their tracks. It's as if all of this rejection and resistance to the "rules" is so eminently reasonable that it is plainly saying: You are the ones who are wrong.
It is the same for Chiori as she tailors the clothes. From the way she treats the fabric, it is as if she has never seen the material before. Her cuts come from unexpected angles, ignoring the direction of the thread, and sometimes suddenly seizing upon adding a completely new structure halfway through, before upending her own work once again...
Sometimes, she will even draw her sword and swiftly cut the first-rate fabric before her with a clean slash, as though she were not making clothes, but rather dueling — as though she were fighting with the fabric in her hands, vying for authority, with her emerging as the ultimate victor.
No one makes clothes as she does, much less converses so with the fabric. Her workstation becomes an operating table, and she knows just what the perfect form of the fabric is, with each stroke of her blade excising lesions and sores from her patient...
An employee once complained to Chiori that it was too difficult to cut the style she requested.
—"Why? Are your scissors not sharp enough?"
—"No, that's not it... It's just..."
—"Then you can cut it."
She will make you feel that if you cannot cut and trim clothes exactly as you please, then that is because you're simply too foolish to do so. Yet when you see the clothes she tailors, you will feel that if you cannot live exactly as you please, then that is yet more foolish still.
"Ms. Chiori, I would like to ask, just how do you design your clothes?" —Came the reporter's question.
—"However I want."

Character Story 5Dreams. Such an ephemeral word, far flimsier than even the thinnest silks Chiori has laid hands on. Yet when worn, they can be heavier and more suffocating than the thickest fabric.
She chased her dream all the way to Fontaine, and yet when she finally managed to catch up to it, she discovered that it had once more run even farther away of its own accord.
So, what next? Take up the burden of her dream and forge ahead, or just be content with what she had?
—No. Chiori firmly told herself. I choose neither.
She enjoyed the sweet aftertaste dreams left, the satisfaction that filled her. Yet she hated using dreams of the future to urge herself onward. That was itself a kind of shackle.
She chooses to live in the present.
She will work tirelessly day and night on a piece of clothing, just so that it might grace the stage of Fashion Week. She will also disappear for weeks on a whim, enjoying every sight along the way, the starry sky overhead every night, until finally setting off on the road back home once tired. It all depends on her mood.
None can dictate any aspect of her life to her, no one can tell her what she "should" do; not even her own dreams. It is almost as if she would toss life itself out the window without a moment's hesitation, should it prove an obstacle to her.
"Never give up" is Chiori's true brand. She has said so herself.
Strangely, it's as though it is in fact her "dream" that has begun actively trying to draw close to her out of fright. As opposed to her chasing it, her dream is attempting to curry favor with her, like a once-wild tamed beast attempting to cozy up to its new master's side.
—Ms. Chiori, you've said that you want your brand to become fashionable across Teyvat. May I ask when you expect to achieve this goal?
—Hard to say. Perhaps when I feel like it.

Chiori's DraftsWhen a Snow-Winged Goose chasing the reflection of the moon leapt into the lake, Chiori awoke. She blinked and yawned, gazing at the black evening dress glittering like the star-studded heavens. The shadows of her dream were melting in her mind, leaving inky traces of sadness.
"Scissors, please." She pushed herself into a sitting position as her loyal assistant appeared by her side, handing Chiori the tool in her hand.
"And a pencil." She added, and "Tamoto" pulled out a pencil that seemed to have seen quite some use from who knows where.
When seeking inspiration, Chiori prefers solitude to company, and often sets off on her own with little more than the clothes on her back, disliking burdening herself with this and that.
A notebook is something that nags at her, as though begging her to write something down. A map is too confining, as though seeking to draw lines and boundaries through her empire of fashion without her say-so.
Her drafts are harder to understand than those of any other designer in the business, for they are often drawn on menus, leaves, or even her own clothing...
Yet her finished products are also more breathtaking than those of any other designer, as they are the distillation of the scenery she has seen, the characters she has met, and even those melted remnants of dreams...
"Done." She looked at the newspaper before her — or more precisely, the tattered remnants thereof — and nodded in satisfaction. She didn't even remember how she had picked it up today, but that was irrelevant.
Her drafts are born with such spontaneity, and completed with the same free and easy spirit: They are brought back to the Chioriya Boutique, copied out onto the toile, and then turned into tea-stained taiyaki wrapping paper before finally being laid to rest in the garbage.
And as for the essence of the drafts... They are for customers to admire and acclaim, and for being enshrined on the front page of fashion magazines.

VisionNo way forward. Nothing left to do.
Chiori lay prone before the table, eyebrows knitting at her first work. "Tamoto" said nothing, as though sleeping — or perhaps it was that she had simply never awoken. Chiori's habit was to use a small amount of cloth to try out her designs on Tamoto before making an outfit. Should the result prove satisfactory, she would then copy the design onto a full-size model. Yet none of her designs had been able to gain the approval of her teacher.
Not long before, yet another teacher had expelled her. She had gradually come to understand that sometimes, it wasn't that her teachers disliked her designs, but that they simply didn't dare to be the first to adopt such designs. The judgmental gaze of others were threads far harder to snip than the stitches of any clothes.
"And what do you think?" She asked the puppet in front of her. "Tamoto" had never complained about her designs, and would happily try on any clothes without protest. But if she could open her mouth, would she say those three words, "I like it"?
Not long before, Ogura Textiles & Kimonos had extended an invitation to Chiori, asking her to work in the shop. Chiori appreciated Ogura Mio's intentions, for among the children studying tailoring, she was one who seemed to admire Chiori's designs.
But no. Chiori shook her head, rejecting the idea.
When all was said and done, that was someone's else shop, someone else's name. She didn't like the feeling of dwelling within the home of another.
"Fontaine..." She whispered softly. The word had been bubbling to the surface of her mind of late, as a hummed tune overheard may linger forever in the ear, unforgettable.
The books said that was the capital of fashion, a city of the arts. The merchants said it was a place that revered entertainment, and that anything interesting would be liked by everyone there.
Then, Chiori had thought it too far away. It would take months of travel just to get there. Now, she felt that Inazuma was too far away. Her designs would reach few here.
"Fontaine... Fontaine..." She murmured the name several more times, as though doing so could pull that faraway country closer to her.
As she thought of "Ogura Textiles & Kimonos," she found herself speaking another name — "Chioriya Boutique."
—It was as though her heartstrings had suddenly been plucked and were now humming. The sounds of "Fontaine" and "Chioriya Boutique" were two notes that seemed to form a perfect harmonious chord.
"Fontaine's 'Chioriya Boutique'..." She closed her eyes and imagined a sign emblazoned with her name appearing on Fontaine's vibrant avenues, and how the people there would sound speaking the strange name. It suddenly all seemed so real to her, as though, at that moment, the real her was already in Fontaine, and the "her" left here was merely a shadow she had carelessly left behind in Inazuma.
She swiftly sat up and left the house without so much as a word to her parents. They were shocked, and looked at each other in dismay, guessing that perhaps she was going out for a walk to unwind. Yet when she next returned, she had already said her goodbyes to some, and left a few others with no doubt as to what she really thought of them. Either way, the name "Chiori" would certainly return to Inazuma's shores long before she did. That was the oath she swore.
"I'm leaving tomorrow," She said to her parents. That melody humming internally was urging her forward, and she had to go chase the her that was in Fontaine.
Her mother looked at her father reproachfully, as if to say "Of all the traits she inherited, it had to have been your personality."
Naturally, her parents didn't try to stop her, as they knew very well that once this child said something, it was already set in stone.
As Chiori returned to her room to pack her things, the items on her table suddenly shifted, startling her.
"Tamoto" slowly turned in circles, as though showing off the clothes Chiori had made for her, before happily floating over to Chiori— and in the puppet's outstretched hands was a brilliant Vision.

    • She basically does more dmg at 2 dolls. She does more dmg at 1 doll too vs most of the bosses & 12th floor mobs compared to albedo. Her dolls don’t die, they have better range and multi-target for 2 dolls. But yea thats it, doesn’t offer much besides insane dmg really

  2. They talked about her snapshotting with albedo, hence def, but what about atk? if in team with benney?
    i0m using genshin aspirine, and her+ben+furina seems crrazy good (+ one geo). And furthermore, with my build echoing set is even sliglthy better than husk and golden troupe

    • the thing is that Chiori needs geo construction to utilize her kit fully, and Navia needs 2 non geo-anemo-dendro characters to get full value out of her passive. Other than that I would say that they’re ok.

        • She definitely is. Albedo is practically useless in most of the abyss nowadays. He definitely suks at current boss abyss & the mob abyss with those cranes on drugs & the eremite floor. Reason being that his flower dies very easily. Chiori’s summon stay for 100% uptime, she doesn’t require field time every 8 seconds.

          • Albedo flower doesn’t die on mob rooms lol, only on boss rooms if you’re bad at placing it + he has more range, bigger aoe, longer uptime and lower cd (which unlike you imply Navia actually appreciates thanks to her being able to quickswap)
            And, if any, the damage increase from Chiori, without C1, is just not sufficient enough for her to just simply be better no questions asked.

      • >Best crystallize generator for navia

          • Navia is so strong that you can practically abandon geo resonance and you would still be able to achieve peak damage. Navia, Bennet, Furina, others. Heck I even see some people paired her with Xianyun and they still wrecked abyss floor 12. Navia is really flexible and I really love her for that.

        • Only if Navia has enough energy to burst every chamber every rotation. Her crystallization relies on her burst. And additionally, Chiori isn’t even that good of a geo battery. Geo Traveler is better simply due to frontloading it rather than a DoT skill and Albedo’s skill is also better since it doesn’t have that energy gen cooldown Chiori has that becomes prevalent with 2 Tamotos.

        • Chiori may look underwhelming right now, but I just see it as a Nilou moment. She scales with future geo characters, especially those with geo constructs. People request a geo healer, but what I think we need is a geo character capable of fitting any geo team, either with crystallize, either with microwave through geo construct resonance, or either with mono geo with def scaling, that’s what would put geo on solid grounds [double pun intended].

          Instead, Chiori is that x.5 character that gains more utility and usage through the following region as well as being the foreshadowing of the next region’s meta playstyle. Eula being a 1.5 character foreshadowed energy and burst dependency. Yae Miko foreshadowed the EM meta and by element alone, foreshadowed electro’s key to success. Dehya foreshadowed the HP changing meta where Dehya alone has Hp decreases and Hp increases via healing, basically showing the sustain-theme that Fontaine is going for.

          So what do we see in Chiori? Do you assume it’s geo constructs? I think not, but something rather more generally appliable which is the forced quickswap. I believe this mechanic also introduces ZZZ’s jump-in skills and shares the combat mehcanics that is called intro/outro skills in wuthering waves. We could see a whole meta on seamless and repetitive quickswapping. It would just be a full rotation of Parting shot > u-turn > baton pass > volt switch > repeat. Chiori would stop being boring with a second to fourth force-swap character. Chiori is the first of many force-swappers I believe just like how Dehya was the first of many self-sustainers/Hp drainers that Fontaine has. A force-swap Itto could go a long way since it would imply that their elemental burst/skill state can be freely swapped off without losing the state. I wish we had more characters like Noelle and Diluc with that ability. Cyno can have buffs refreshed without losing the infusion state directly, and Yoimiya could have a shield or buff re-applied mid-duration. Even same can be said for Itto.

          Chiori may just be that warm-up character for the following region’s theme of force-swap as my estimate.

    • As far as zhongli is concerned, she is better in a range of 4k or 5k DPS but the value of the shield is incalculable, in my opinion she is not worth it if you have zhongli it is better to wait for another DPS sub more compatible with navia or at least with a stronger MV because otherwise within a couple of patches you could be replacing Chiori with the pyro archon or any other high-value support.

    • She is good with Navia but not that much of an improvement over Navia. Chiori will do more damage but also generate less shards for Navia to colelct and may also generate less geo energy than Albedo. Chiori is solely a dps increase if that is what you are looking for.

      If you’re looking for a good teammate for Navia, well Xianyun actually fulfilled that role. Plunge Navia is legit and actually pretty effective, providing AoE to what is linear ST dps while providing enough healing for Furina.

      So overall, Chiori is good with navia, but is it worth for only a straight team damage increase? I think to be worth my primos over Albedo whom I got in 1.2, Chiori would have to provide more than just damage such as energy, crystallization efficiency, or healing to sync with Furina.

      Still, she is good with Navia even if not as good as with a geo construct character. Man, if only Navia’s cannons in her burst animation was a geo construct, except actually durable.

    • I’ve assumed that it’s a single buff, but there is nothing about it in kit (other than C2 suggesting it only triggers once when skill is used). If it stacks, I would love to see that 172% geo buff in action (5 from traveler, 2 from Zhongli C2 and 1 + 12% bonus from Ningguang).

  5. Dont care if she is worse or better than albedo.
    Appearance, VA and those thigh highs are the main reason i’m getting her.
    I dont care that she is mid, she is coming home.
    It does not matter how slow or fast she can clear content.
    I got Neuvillette, Ahaitham, Nahida and all the other broken characters.
    I’m fine with pulling on whatever character i like.
