Chiori is a rumored 5-star Geo character from Inazuma who is expected to make her debut in Genshin Impact Version 4.5. In this article, we will take a closer look at Chiori, including her element, release date, and what players can expect from her abilities.
Genshin Impact Chiori Leaks: Release Date
While official confirmation remains elusive, whispers from the community point to Chiori gracing Teyvat alongside Version 4.5, tentatively scheduled for mid-March 2024. However, just like a shimmering Geo construct, release dates can shift, so keeping an ear to the ground for miHoYo’s official announcement is crucial.
Story & Teaser
Chiori’s journey began in Inazuma, but her ambitions led her to Fontaine, the land of justice and the glamorous Court of Fontaine. There, she established herself as a renowned fashion designer, navigating the cutthroat industry with her signature swordsmanship and unwavering personality. Travelers might recall her captivating presence during the Fontinalia Film Festival in Version 4.3.
Chiori’s recently revealed trailer sheds light on her unwavering sense of justice. Unlike her Inazuma days, where she faced criticism for prioritizing clients, her boutique, “Chioriya Boutique,” operates on a strict “first come, first served” basis. This reflects a different facet of Fontaine’s society, where justice takes center stage.
Weapon
Chiori’s signature weapon, Yuraku Odenkiri, is as visually striking as its owner. Mirroring her aesthetic with its shared color palette and design elements, it boasts a Base Attack of 542 and a Crit Damage of a whopping 88.2%. The community has already dubbed it the “Geo version of Mistsplitter,” and with good reason!
Elemental Affiliation
One of the most intriguing aspects of Chiori is her elemental affiliation. According to recent leaks shared on platforms like Reddit, Chiori is expected to be a 5-star Geo character. If this information holds true, she would be only the second character with a Geo vision introduced in Fontaine, the first being Navia.
Abilities
Normal Attack: Weaving Blade
- Normal Attack: Performs up to 4 rapid strikes.
- Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
- Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Fluttering Hasode
Dashes nimbly forward with silken steps. Once this dash ends, Chiori will summon the automaton doll “Sode” 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.
- Sode
- 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 Sode will be summoned next to your active character. Only 1 additional Sode can be summoned in this manner, and its duration is independently counted.
Hiyoku: Twin Blades
Twin blades leave their sheaths as Chiori slices with the clean cuts of a master tailor, dealing AoE Geo DMG based on her ATK and DEF.
Passive Skills
Brocaded Collar’s Beauteous Silhouette
When any party member is wearing an outfit apart from their default outfit, or is wearing a wind glider other than the Wings of First Flight, your party members will obtain the Swift Stride effect: Movement SPD is increased by 10%. This effect does not take effect in Domains, Trounce Domains, and the Spiral Abyss. Swift Stride does not stack.
Tailor-Made
Gain different effects depending on the next action you take within a short duration after using Fluttering Hasode’s upward sweep. If you Press the Elemental Skill, you will trigger the Tapestry effect. If you Press your Normal Attack, the Tailoring effect will be triggered instead.
- Tapestry
- Switches to the next character in your roster.
- Grants all your party members “Seize the Moment”: When your active party member’s Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks hit an opponent, “Sode” will execute a coordinated attack, dealing 100% of Fluttering Hasode’s upward sweep DMG as AoE Geo DMG at the opponent’s location. DMG dealt this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
- “Seize the Moment” lasts 8s, and 1 of “Sode”‘s coordinated attack can be unleashed every 2s. 2 such coordinated attacks can occur per “Seize the Moment” effect duration.
- Tailoring
- Chiori gains Geo infusion for 5s.
When on the field, if Chiori does not either Press her Elemental Skill or use a Normal Attack within a short time after using Fluttering Hasode’s upward sweep, the Tailoring effect will be triggered by default.
The Finishing Touch
When a nearby party member creates a Geo Construct, Chiori will gain 20% Geo DMG Bonus for 20s.
Constellations
Six Paths of Sage Silkcraft
The AoE of the automaton doll “Sode” summoned by Fluttering Hasode is increased by 50%. Additionally, if there is a Geo party member other than Chiori, Fluttering Hasode will trigger the following after the dash is completed:
- Summon an additional Sode. Only one additional Sode can exist at the same time, whether summoned by Chiori this way or through the presence of a Geo Construct.
- Triggers the Passive Talent “The Finishing Touch.” This effect requires you to first unlock the Passive Talent “The Finishing Touch.”
In Five Colors Dyed
For 10s after using Hiyoku: Twin Blades, a simplified automaton doll, “Kinu,” will be summoned next to your active character every 3s. Kinu will attack nearby opponents, dealing AoE Geo DMG equivalent to 170% of Sode’s DMG. DMG dealt this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
Kinu will leave the field after 1 attack or after lasting 3s.
Four Brocade Embellishments Four Brocade Embellishments

A Tailor’s Three Courtesies A Tailor’s Three Courtesies
For 8s after triggering either follow-up effect of the Passive Talent “Tailor-Made,” when your current active character’s Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks hit a nearby opponent, a simplified automaton doll, “Kinu,” will be summoned near this opponent. You can summon 1 Kinu every 1s in this way, and up to 3 Kinu may be summoned this way during each instance of “Tailor-Made”‘s Seize the Moment or Tailoring effect. The above effect can be triggered up to once every 15s.
Must unlock the Passive Talent “Tailor-Made” first.
Two Silken Plumules Two Silken Plumules

Sole Principle Pursuit Sole Principle Pursuit
After triggering a follow-up effect of the Passive Talent “Tailor-Made,” Chiori’s own Fluttering Hasode’s CD is decreased by 12s. Must unlock the Passive “Tailor-Made” first. In addition, the DMG dealt by Chiori’s own Normal Attacks is increased by an amount equal to 235% of her own DEF.
Splash Art
Although we have yet to see Chiori’s in-game appearance officially unveiled, concept art leaks have provided a tantalizing glimpse into what she might look like.
Chiori’s splash art is a captivating dance between traditional Japanese charm and modern sensibilities. Her kimono-inspired frock adorned with delicate floral patterns blends seamlessly with lace-top socks, reminiscent of a Western ballerina. The intricate poppy-esque ornament on her back adds a touch of whimsical grandeur, completing her unique aesthetic.
What’s truly exciting is how HoYoverse is subtly differentiating Chiori’s pose in this splash art from her previous drip marketing. This is a refreshing departure from the usual one-to-one copy, suggesting a newfound dedication to showcasing diverse facets of their characters.
Story
Chiori is a character whose existence was first hinted at in Kirara’s voice lines in Genshin Impact Version 3.7. Originating from Inazuma, Chiori is currently known to run a clothing shop named “Chioriya Boutique” in Fontaine. Despite the community’s curiosity about her, little is known about Chiori’s background or her personal story, as concrete details remain scarce at this time.
