When she first appeared in June of this year many dubbed her as a ‘skippable’ character, but now she’s back with a vengeance inGenshin Impact 2.3, and players have seen what she can really do. Eula is undoubtedly one of thebest Genshin Impact characters, an S-tier damage-dealer who caters to that classicDilucplaystyle.

So if you prefer swinging around a claymore more than messing with bows and catalysts, the Spindrift Knight might fit perfectly in your party. This Genshin Impact Eula build guide has the perfect setup to help you make the most of her physical damage potential.

Builds

The best Genshin Impact Eula build

Eula is a DPS fighter whose greatest strength is her powerful burst and physical damage potential. This build should help you make the most of both:

Physical DPS

Eula’s five-star claymore is returning in the first Epitome Invocation banner of version 2.3, and it remains one of the best weapons for her. Firstly, Song of Broken Pines is one of the few claymores that offers a physical damage bonus, as well as boosting attack by 16%.When you whack an opponent with a normal or charged attack, you gain a Sigil of Whispers. You can stack up to four of these, and when you gain the fourth, you’ll get an attack speed boost of 12% and an attack increase of 20% for 12 seconds. If you don’t have any suitable four or five-star weapons, the Skyrider Greatsword is a great three-star option, as it also offers a Physical damage bonus.

This artifact setup is pretty straight forward as both of these grant the same effect. Unlike most of the artifact sets that boost elemental damage, there are actually two different sets that boost physical output. Two-pieces of Pale Flame and two-pieces of Bloodstained Chivalry combined will increase Eula’s physical damage by a whopping 50%, allowing her to really do some numbers.

How to get Eula in Genshin Impact

Eula is returning in Genshin Impact 2.3 onNovember 24as part of the new five-star rerun banner. She’ll be featured alongside alchemist,Albedo, and if leaks are to be believed, both of these banners will share the same three four-star characters:Noelle,Bennett, andRosaria. Considering the new Shadows Amidst Snowstorms event involves a variety of Mondstadt characters, it’s likely this will prove true.

Character

Eula uses a mixture of character Ascension materials. As with most Cryo users, she’ll need Shivada Jade from Cryo Regisvine. However, Eula also requires Crystalline Bloom, so you’re better off fighting the Cryo Hypostasis in Dragonspine. There are two other world materials you’ll also need to ascend her:

You can obtain Dandelion Seeds by using Anemo on dandelions around Mondstadt’s city limits. Theofficial miHoYo interactive mapcan show you where they are exactly. and Mask-series items are dropped by regular Hilichurl enemies.

Talent

To level Eula’s talents, you’re going to need four specific ascension materials:

The Teachings of Resistance-series items are obtained in the Forsaken Rift Domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. You’ll need more Mask items too, which can be gathered from basic Hilichurls.

You also need the Dragon Lord’s Crown, which is a reward for the level 70+ Azhdaha challenge in the trounce domain, or can be crafted with a Bloodjade Branch and Dream Solvent. The Crown of Insight, as ever, comes from seasonal events and leveling the Frostbearing Tree in Dragonspine, or the Sacred Sakura in Inazuma.
