Best Noelle Artifacts in Genshin Impact

If you’re looking to build Noelle as a Geo Main DPS, we recommend using the Husk of Opulent Dreams set. This will increase her defense and grant her a Geo DMG Bonus. However, if you want to use Noelle as a shield and healing support, you’ll want to have the Ocean-Hued Clam artifact set.

Best Noelle weapon in Genshin Impact

The best weapon to put on Noelle is Redthorn Stonethresher. This will increase Noelle’s DEF by 28% and also improve her Normal and Charged Attack DMG based on 40% of her DEF. The Redthorn Stonethresher is Arataki Itto’s signature Claymore, so it may be difficult to obtain due to it being event-exclusive.

If you’re looking for 4-star alternatives or have placed the Redthorn Stonethresher on someone else, we recommend using either the Serpent Spine or Whiteblind.

We recommend using Noelle alongside Furina due to their excellent synergization in battle. You have multiple options to pick for the remaining two slots, but some of the best options include Gorou, Yun Jin, Albedo, and Yelan.

If you choose Gorou, you’ll be able to provide buffs from him and Furina for Noelle to dish out damage and heal her teammates.

Another team comp possibility could be Noelle, Albedo, Gorou, and Fischl. Albedo and Fischl would regenerate Noelle’s energy with Gorou providing DEF buffs to increase Noelle’s damage output.

That’s everything you need to know about how to effectively build Noelle. In the meantime, check out our other Genshin Impact build guides below:

Artifact	Set Bonuses
Husk of Opulent Dreams	2-piece set bonus: DEF +30%. 4-piece set bonus: A character equipped with this Artifact set will obtain the Curiosity effect in the following conditions: When on the field, the character gains 1 stack after hitting an opponent with a Geo attack, triggering a maximum of once every 0.3s. When off the field, the character gains 1 stack every 3s. Curiosity can stack up to 4 times, each providing 6% DEF and a 6% Geo DMG Bonus. When 6 seconds pass without gaining a Curiosity stack, 1 stack is lost.
Ocean-Hued Clam	2-piece set bonus: Healing Bonus +15% 4-piece set bonus: When the character equipping this artifact set heals a character in the party, a Sea-Dyed Foam will appear for 3 seconds, accumulating the amount of HP recovered from healing (including overflow healing). At the end of the duration, the Sea-Dyed Foam will explode, dealing DMG to nearby opponents based on 90% of the accumulated healing. (This DMG is calculated similarly to Reactions such as Electro-Charged, and Superconduct, but is not affected by Elemental Mastery, Character Levels, or Reaction DMG Bonuses). Only one Sea-Dyed Foam can be produced every 3.5 seconds. Each Sea-Dyed Foam can accumulate up to 30,000 HP (including overflow healing). There can be no more than one Sea-Dyed Foam active at any given time. This effect can still be triggered even when the character who is using this artifact set is not on the field.
