Want to know all about Collei in Genshin Impact? Collei is set to be one of the first Sumeru-based characters released alongside Genshin Impact Version 3.0 when it launches on August 24th, 2022. She also has the distinction of being Genshin’s first ever 4-star Dendro character, which means she’s bound to be a desirable gacha pull for players eager to test out the game’s new playable element without dropping lots of currency (be it real or in-game).
Not much has been confirmed about Collei’s final kit just yet, but thanks to a combination of closed beta gameplay, credible leaks, and informed speculation, we do actually know a fair bit about her. Just be aware that basically everything on this page is subject to change, correction, or clarification between now and the new version’s launch. And with that, please read on below for everything we know about Collei ahead of her Genshin Impact debut.
Collei will be a Bow wielder, as was strongly hinted at in her character art and appearances in Genshin Impact’s tie-in manga, and confirmed during the Version 3.0 closed beta. With up to three new Bows reportedly releasing in the new version, it’s very likely that Collei’s best weapon will be one that we haven’t seen in the game yet, but we’ll be sure to give you a full run-down of her top options once we know more.
During the Version 3.0 beta, Collei’s talents were as follows:
Collei will be suitable for either a main DPS or a sub DPS role, depending on the composition of the rest of her party. Given that she’s releasing alongside Dendro 5-star Tighnari, it seems like her ideal position would be has sub DPS to his main DPS, although of course there will be many other useful ways to deploy her alongside Genshin’s 50-odd other playable characters.
In terms of tier, don’t let the fact that Collei is very much “the Dendro Amber” put you off her too quickly! Despite her in-lore relationship to Amber and the fact that her kit is consciously designed to mirror that of the oft-derided last Outrider (frequently called “the worst character in the game”, although lately Amber’s reputation has been re-evaluated a bit more kindly), early reports suggest that Collei will fare considerably better on tier lists than her mentor. Like most new additions to the game, expect Collei to attain A-Tier or S-Tier status without too much trouble.
Early leaks have suggested that the following ascension materials will need to be used in order to level up Collei:
Ascension Level | Materials |
---|---|
1 | 1 Nagadus Emerald Sliver, 3 Rukkhashava Mushrooms, 3 Firm Arrowheads, and 20,000 Mora |
2 | 3 Nagadus Emerald Fragments, 10 Rukkhashava Mushrooms, 15 Firm Arrowheads, 2 Majestic Hooked Beaks, and 40,000 Mora |
3 | 6 Nagadus Emerald Fragments, 20 Rukkhashava Mushrooms, 12 Sharp Arrowheads, 4 Majestic Hooked Beaks, and 60,000 Mora |
4 | 3 Nagadus Emerald Chunks, 30 Rukkhashava Mushrooms, 18 Sharp Arrowheads, 8 Majestic Hooked Beaks, and 80,000 Mora |
5 | 6 Nagadus Emerald Chunks, 45 Rukkhashava Mushrooms, 12 Weathered Arrowheads, 12 Majestic Hooked Beaks, and 100,000 Mora |
6 | 6 Nagadus Emerald Gemstones, 60 Rukkhashava Mushrooms, 24 Weathered Arrowheads, 20 Majestic Hooked Beaks, and 120,000 Mora |
Total | 1 Nagadus Emerald Sliver, 9 Nagadus Emerald Fragments, 9 Nagadus Emerald Chunks, 6 Nagadus Emerald Gemstones, 168 Rukkashava Mushrooms, 18 Firm Arrowheads, 30 Sharp Arrowheads, 36 Weathered Arrowheads, 46 Majestic Hooked Beaks, and 420,000 Mora |
During the Version 3.0 beta, Collei’s constellations were as follows:
Collei is widely accepted to be a 4-star character, meaning that following her debut in Version 3.0, she’ll be added to the standard wish pool from Version 3.1 onwards. This means that between August 24th and mid-September, you’ll need to wish on Tighnari’s or Zhongli’s character event wish banners in order to obtain her, but from early October she’ll be a potential pull on all banners in the gacha.
There have also been some unsubstantiated rumours that a free copy of Collei will be obtainable during Version 3.0, either as a new-version welcome gift or as an event reward. Genshin Impact does have form when it comes to giving away 4-star characters to players who take part in time-limited events, so this seems credible, but by no means confirmed.
That’s all we know about Collei for the time being, and I’d like to remind you one last time that the information on this page is subject to change or correction when the character releases!
