Cat Upon the Eaves

The best Kirara build in Genshin Impact (Version 7.0) is Key of Khaj-Nisut with Deepwood Memories, HP% sands, HP% goblet, HP% circlet. Updated August 22, 2026

How this build was derivedKirara’s kit multiplies HP, read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst rather than from the ability prose. Weapons and artifact sets below are ranked on whether their stat and their passive text act on that stat. This is a reading of the game’s own numbers, not a community tier consensus — a set that wins a niche team composition will not show up here.

Kirara build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

Key of Khaj-Nisut is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Kirara's kit multiplies HP, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Primordial Jade Cutter, Finale of the Deep and Splendor of Tranquil Waters come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Kirara, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Deepwood Memories on Kirara, with Vourukasha's Glow and Tenacity of the Millelith behind it. Main stats are HP% sands, HP% goblet, HP% circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > HP% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.

Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

Kirara Meow-teor Kick — elemental skill icon | Genshin Impact
Skill

Meow-teor Kick

Press Leaps into the air with all the agility of a cat passing through the bushes, and thwacks her foes with a flying kick that deals AoE Dendro DMG while creating a Shield of Safe Transport. This will also briefly apply Dendro to Kirara. The shield will absorb Dendro DMG with 250% effectiveness. The shield's DMG absorption will be based on Kirara's Max HP and will not exceed a certain percentage of that Max HP. The remaining DMG absorption on a Shield of Safe Transport will stack on a new one when it is created, and its duration will reset.

Hold Out of her desire to "deliver within half a day," Kirara deploys a Shield of Safe Transport identical to the one that can be created by pressing the skill. She will also curl up into a special express delivery box, entering the Urgent Neko Parcel state in order to move and fight more swiftly.

Urgent Neko Parcel · Deals Dendro DMG to opponents she crashes into. This effect can be triggered once on each opponent every 0.5s. · When in this state, Kirara's movement speed, climbing speed, and jumping power are all increased, and her Stamina Consumption from climbing is increased. · When the duration ends or the skill is used again, a Flipclaw Strike more powerful than the attack in the Press Mode will be unleashed, dealing AoE Dendro DMG. · The Urgent Neko Parcel state lasts a maximum of 10s. When the state ends, the skill will enter CD. The longer Kirara spends in this state, the longer the CD will be. · Sprinting or actively canceling climbing will end this state early.

"So you wanna know the secret to speedy deliveries? Well, it's all in the legs!"

Kirara FAQ

What element is Kirara?
Kirara is a 4-star Dendro character from Inazuma who uses a sword, released in version 3.7.

What is the best weapon for Kirara?
Key of Khaj-Nisut is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star sword with HP as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on HP. Finale of the Deep is the best 4-star alternative.
Which artifact set should Kirara use?
Deepwood Memories. Its 2-piece bonus is: Dendro DMG Bonus +15%. Its 4-piece bonus is: After Elemental Skills or Bursts hit opponents, the targets' Dendro RES will be decreased by 30% for 8s. This effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is not on the field.

Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Transience among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
