Gorou

Gorou is a 4-star Geo bow support. His Skill and Burst grant defense and Geo damage buffs that scale with the number of Geo characters in the party, making him the dedicated support for mono-Geo comps.

How to Play

Pair him with Geo carries like Arataki Itto in a mono-Geo team. See his placement on the Genshin tier list.

Best Build

Top Weapons: Favonius Warbow (energy), Elegy for the End (EM/buff), or The Stringless. Sacrificial Bow also fine. Artifact Set: 4pc The Exile or 2pc ER sets for energy; 4pc Noblesse Oblige if he is the burst holder. DEF-scaling so prioritize DEF. Main Stats: Sands ER or DEF%, Goblet DEF%, Circlet DEF% or HP for survival. Substats: Energy Recharge > DEF% > HP.

Best Teams

Mono Geo / Geo DPS support for Itto with Albedo and a flex (Zhongli or Gorou C6 enabler). Gorou buffs DEF and Geo DMG for the whole team.

Kit Overview

• Skill: Drops a banner granting a DEF buff to nearby allies based on Geo party members.
• Burst: Creates a crystal field that pulls Geo shards and grants Geo DMG bonus, moving with the active character.
• Core loop: Set up buffs, then let your Geo DPS (Itto) carry; he is the premier mono-Geo support.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Best-in-slot Geo DPS enabler, DEF and Geo DMG buffs, energy help. Cons: Niche outside Geo teams, wants C6 for full payoff.
