Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
The release of Dendro inGenshin Impactis likely one of the best moments for the game so far. After almost two years of waiting, people can finally enjoy several Dendro characters, including the Dendro Traveler.

Other than the obvious Dendro MC, the release of Dendro in version 3.0 also brings Collei and Tighnari. Tighnari is an offensive unit, while Collei is more supportive. Although the Forest Ranger Trainee is rather straightforward to use, there are still some thingsGenshin Impactplayers may get wrong, here are some examples.
6Not Knowing Her Differences With Dendro Traveler
Both Collei and Dendro Traveler are great at being an off-fieldsupport inGenshin Impact. They have a great Dendro application and are a decent sub-DPS. However, despite sharing the same role, the two characters have significant differences too. Here’s a brief summary of Collei VS Dendro Traveler:
5Not Using Supportive Artifact Sets
Using 4-Gilded Dreams on Collei can indeed make her a better damage dealer, assuming someone else on the team uses 4-Deepwood Memories. Otherwise, 4-Deepwood is a far better option, not only for Collei but also for the whole team. Other than Deepwood Memories, players who wish to get the most out of Collei’ssupportive value can also use different artifact setslike 4-Noblesse Oblige or 4-Instructor.

Noblesse Oblige grants the team +20% ATK after Collei uses her Burst, meanwhile, Instructor increases the whole team’s Elemental Mastery (EM) by 120 after she triggers an Elemental Reaction. 120 Elemental Mastery isn’t impressive for transformative reactions like Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon, but it’s great for Spread and Aggravate.
4Overestimating Her At Triggering Spread
With two hits on her Elemental Skill, two on her Sprout hits (four at C2), and around 15 hits on her Elemental Burst, Collei theoretically should be a great contender at triggering theSpread Elemental Reaction inGenshin Impact. Unfortunately, her ability at triggering Spread isn’t as good as it is on paper.
Collei will trigger one Spread when she throws her Elemental Skill, one Spread on her Sprout (two at C2), and if she’s the only Dendro character in the team, around three Spread on her ultimate. Elemental Mastery is still an excellent stat forCollei inGenshin Impact, but because of her limitations at triggering Spread, ATK is as competitive as EM.
3Building Collei Purely To Deal Off-Field Damage
Considering the number of supportive potential Collei holds, building her purely to deal damage is a rather poor choice. Other than using artifact sets that boost the team, the Forest Ranger Trainee can also be equipped with weapons that hold supportive instead of offensive values. Additionally, players can focus on stats that enhance her viability as a Dendro enabler, like Energy Recharge instead of ATK and Elemental Mastery.

Until a better Dendro enabler comes along, Collei is an excellent option for the role. If players are in doubt about raising her, then DendroTraveler is a great alternative inGenshin Impact.
2Focuses Too Much On Collei’s Constellations
Unlike the typical4-star units inGenshin Impact, Collei is highly functional even at zero Constellation. Her C1 is a simple Energy restoration buff, her C2 is a little extra Dendro application, while her C6 is a little extra damage. Other than her fourth Constellation which enhances the entire team’s Elemental Mastery, the rest of Collei’s Constellations are quite negligible.
Because of this, players shouldn’t worry too much about getting copies of Collei. But if Travelers wish to push for her Constellations, then C4 is definitely the go-to.
1Using The Wrong Weapons
ForCollei’s best weapons inGenshin Impact, players can either focus on damage or support. For damage dealing, Bows like Aqua Simulacra, Polar Star, Skyward Harp, Thundering Pulse, The Stringless, Alley Hunter, and Fading Twilight are all great options.
Meanwhile, if players wish to maximize Collei’s potential, then Venti’s signature weapon, Elegy for the End, is currently her best option. Other than that, Travelers can opt for Favonius Warbow to enhance the team’s Energy restoration, or Sacrificial Bow to ensure more Dendro application. However, note that low-refinement Sacrificial Bow is not very effective on Collei as the passive has a long cooldown.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
