WHY COLLEI IS SO GOOD | Genshin Impact Version 4.6

In this episode, we talk about one of the newest standard free Dendro starting character Collei in Genshin Impact! We get her for free by completing Floor 4, Chamber 3 of Spiral Abyss once, as of patch 3.1.
We discuss her kit, her playstyle, her artifact sets, her weapon options, her team synergies, and what makes her an amazing character overall for Dendro team comps which we also showcase my personal Top 3 Dendro Team Comps as a Burst DPS and Support DPS Collei!

Finally someone who appreciates Collei, I like that you used 4 stars a lot so people wont shift their focus on the 5 stars

[@captainmilkfish]

Thank you for noticing :) I intentionally did that to make sure Collei gets all the love we can give hehehehe

[@sonofdeleniel007]

Three words: Frontloaded. Dendro. Application. This is Collei's biggest strength by a landslide. Her ability to apply Dendro so fast in such a short amount of time allows her to trigger a ton of Spreads and supply a ton of Dendro for Hydro Blooms within a VERY short amount of time. Give her Sac Bow for best results. It's this exact reason why she can - arguably - be *as good as NAHIDA* in Nilou Bloom.

[@captainmilkfish]

Exactly! Huhe potential for a free 4-star

[@zoror1394]

I believe Collei is one of the most underrated 4*s and even characters in the game. She’s part of Nilou Bloom’s best team, and her frontloaded Dendro application is so strong in aura management to make sure more Blooms are being produced off Hydro. Because she applies so much Dendro at once, it deletes all Hydro, and makes it really easy to pivot. I’ve been using her since she was released and she’s easily one of my favorite characters to play in Nilou Bloom!

[@captainmilkfish]

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰 these are kind words especially for a 4-star that's not getting noticed enough

[@nohackershere6592]

I love Collei. One of my favorite characters in the game, I've just never had a good team to use her on. I've got her c6 at lvl 80 and she is the next character on my list to finish building. She has a long ways to go though in the way of artifacts...

[@captainmilkfish]

I hope I've helped you get started in your Collei-building journey :)))

[@kamicokrolock]

I use her all the time as I don't have Nahida (her kit just doesn't work for me on a controller) and sometimes traveler isn't an option if pyro is in the mix. For those wondering, If you have c6 and Elegy for the End you don't need Emblem to burst every rotation. I run her as a solo dendro on a Kokomi hyper bloom team for floor 12 all the time.

[@oneoneeightoneone]

Very helpful as a new player glad I was on the right track with Keqing, Collei, D-Traveller, Xianling

[@soliasanala3332]

I have Collei on Lost Paradisde (the set from City of Gold), she has a support dps on a team with Nahida, Kuko, and Xingqiu. Her highest dmg with her boomerang is 88k. I love Collei but after getting Furina, I decided to bench her and use Yaoyao.

[@captainmilkfish]

Looks great! Yaoyao and Furina makes a great combo, I agree. But don't forget to try Yaoyao-Collei just like in my Burgeon showcase hehehehe

[@gastritis6036]

great guide and high quality video honestly, looking forward to seeing you grow man 🙏🙏

[@captainmilkfish]

Thank you, I will try my best! I appreciate it, man. It means a lot!

[@fredym.5650]

The 4pc emblem is new for me. I think it's perfect for general use collei if you treat her as a sub dps instead of buffer which punish her damage. I must try this

[@captainmilkfish]

Absolutely, happy to be an inspiration!

[@ButtonsTaru]

Such a well made video, good job!

[@captainmilkfish]

Thank you, this warms my heart 🥰

[@crisx3358]

Collei is such a great character. Glad to see her getting some love. Personal play her in a sort of hypid between quick swap support and burst dps. Essentially have her built to utilize burst as much as possible, but still use skill in quick swap fashion for easy dendro reactions. A team I find entertaining to play is Anemo Traveler, Collei, Keaya, and Barbara. Its a bloom and freeze, fridge I guess, team with dps Barbara as the driver.

[@holycrystal9477]

Is no one gonna talk about the BINI Collei team comp name😭 that's clever dude

[@captainmilkfish]

It's a nod to our fave PPOP, of course I put that in! 🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for noticing hehehehe

So good! Thoma next please!

[@captainmilkfish]

Thank you! Don't worry, I gotchu! 🫸😝🫷

[@mhbarney8499]

Honestly tough. For what she is... she is actually really decent. 100 % better than people give her credit for. Also Collei has to have one of the best tought through personalitys in genshin. I agree this is not to hard to achieve since most units are as typical anime bland as they come...but still. Collei is just really cool. I have her triple crowned for a reason. Nice little guide. 🎉

[@becmayo]

Nice content! Finally someone appreciate her kit. Also the BINI Collei 😂 Are you Bloom 🌸 and Filipino?

[@captainmilkfish]

You know it! Hahahahahahaha thanks for noticing! It's a nod to our favorite PPOP group!!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@becmayo]

@@captainmilkfish autosub for being Bloom, fellow Filipino Genshin player, and for your content! 🌸👍🏼

[@brandonexilus2212]

Built her after this video level 80 talents 1 8 9 !

[@roadorollerdaa4286]

considering i don't have a nahida, what nilou team, including collei of course, would you be willing to recommend?

[@captainmilkfish]

Always go for double Dendro - doubke Hydro Traveler's burst is amazing for Bloom / Hyperbloom (except Burgeon) plus Collei 🥰🥰🥰

[@captainmilkfish]

If you have Baizhu, he's also a choice, but I lean over 4-star/Traveler options

[@kevinirmiter3669]

Nilou's team does a lot of self-damage, though, so Yao Yao might be better than dendro traveler if you want to stick with 4 stars. Kirara can also also protect you very well from those big dendro core explosions. Or Baizhu will work, obviously.

[@RalLane]

fineeeee ill level her up

[@captainmilkfish]

That's the spirit 💪

[@merloquiambao4601]

Hello, still waiting for thoma guide :(

[@nobody-xh6ii]

I've been wanting to use her but i havent decided on what team to use. Shes c6 with sac bow. I've been thinking my c6 collei [but i have a c5 kaveh w/ r5 mailed] c3r1 Nahida, C1 Kokomi [if i use kaveh i switch to c0r1 Furina because kaveh can't die], c0r1 Nilou. But then theres dps, collei, c3r1 yae, c2r1 Baizhu. Or Yae [dps], Collei, Xingqiu/yelan, Baizhu. Or c0r1 Ayato, Collei, Lynette w/ freedom sworn, Thoma. Or Clorinde, Collei, Yae, Furina

[@captainmilkfish]

I'm happy thay you try to incorporate Collei inyo your team comps. It's very important to give sense into 4-stars with this much potential such as Collei. Thanks for sharing your teams!

[@SyraFunniz]

i mostly use her in nilou team with nahida and kokomi she can apply dendro fast enough so that kokomi can drive onfield without needing to switch out. also yes it is better than baizhu kokomi team. if you use yaoyao or baizhu just go for xingqiu or yelan for hydro not kokomi.

[@captainmilkfish]

I'm also interested in Baizhu-Collei as Baizhu buffs so much Dendro reactions. Also, not only she can apply fast enough Dendro, but also long periods allowing you to have quick-swap rotations Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@SyraFunniz]

@@captainmilkfish tbh I have baizhu but I rarely use him especially I don't have someone alhaitham I guess. But also yes coolie work well in nilou team cus of shorter rotation than other teams you can do ur rotation around every 10sec so it work well with collie. Tbh I would love to see ur take on baizhu maybe cus I barely has any use for him expect for like burgeon team but still sometime yaoyao can be easier to play since her application is much easier than baizhu

[@daniilmakhinov5247]

💙💙💙

[@olgabutorina4156]

why don't you collect namecards from characters? 😭

[@captainmilkfish]

Omg you noticed! Thank you! Hahahahahaha They're my reminders that I'm done with the characters, I sit through them, worked through them, and tried them out. I don't want to forget, so they're just there as a quiet reminder :)

[@ffoster4360]

huh..i don't even know collei is dps

[@captainmilkfish]

She is! I hope Collei gets noticed more!

[@randomlyKami]

She is more so a sub-dps. I mean you can of course play her as a main dps (as you can with any character in the game) but she's more suited for her sub-dps role.

[@elinamanansi5508]

She's not dendro amber! ❤

[@captainmilkfish]

Of course she's not! However, even if she is, it's nice to have variety with some sense of familiarity :) Collei is amazing, super easy to build, and Amber is, too! 🥰🥰

[@Usernameunknown23]

Not so sure abt that title…

[@captainmilkfish]

I'm sure about it, don't worry 🥰
