Goro - a new four-star Geo character who wields a bow and has a narrow focus in Genshin Impact.

In this guide, we will talk about the artifacts and weapons that are suitable for Goro, as well as how to play him and which team to use. Let's go!

Goro Build

Goro's Role in the Team

Goro serves as a Geo support in a team where there is at least one character of the same element. All of Goro's abilities and his strongest passives suggest that he was initially designed to be part of a full Geo team of 4 characters.

Goro's Elemental Skill provides buffs to the team that depend on the number of Geo characters in your party:

• 1 Geo - increases the defense of all party members (which is ideal for Itto);
• 2 Geo - increases interruption resistance;
• 3 Geo - grants a bonus to Geo damage.

Goro's Elemental Burst does the same, but it has a larger AoE and additional bonuses. Goro's second and third talents also depend on the number of Geo characters and provide %defense, which again suits Itto or Noelle perfectly. You can build this character as a DPS according to your desire, but it won't deal significant damage. In this build, we will consider Goro as a good support for a team with two or more Geo characters.

Best Weapons for Goro: Which Sword to Use

The choice of weapon for Goro depends directly on your build and his role in the team. As a support character, Goro needs a sufficient amount of energy recharge, so we recommend paying attention to weapons with this stat:

• Favonius Bow;

  

• The Stringless/Rust Bow.

  

Best Artifacts for Goro: Which Sets to Use

Goro pairs well with the new set "Pale Flame." 2 pieces provide a good defense boost for Itto, which is crucial, and 4 pieces grant a Geo damage bonus if you want to focus on damage.

The most reliable set for support Goro is as follows:

• 2 pieces of "Pale Flame" + 2 pieces of Emblem of Severed Fate for %energy recharge.

  

What Goblet, Circlet, and Timepiece to Use for Goro?

Use a Goblet for defense or Geo damage bonus, a Circlet for crit rate/crit damage/defense, and a Timepiece for %defense/%energy recharge.

Additional artifact stats for Itto:

1. Defense;
2. Energy recharge;
3. Crit rate/crit damage.

Talent Priority for Goro

If you want to make Goro a full-fledged support, prioritize leveling up his Elemental Skill and Burst evenly.

Where to Place Goro in the Team?

As mentioned above, Goro should be placed in a Geo team to maximize his potential. Goro works well where there is at least 1 additional Geo character in the team.

Currently, he is considered the best support for Itto/Noelle. Additionally, you can pair him with any other Geo damage dealer, and the more Geo characters in the team, the more Goro's main potential will be unlocked.
