He has a few viable alternatives, but they’re often just worse.

This means that, if you use any of the units mentioned, he is definitely worth building. Otherwise, he is useless in most teams.

Gorou is a powerful mage who can use his magic to turn people into animals. He is also very dangerous, and should not be used lightly.

Pros & Cons

Gorou Strengths

Gorou’s kit provides buffs to teammates’ DEF, resistance to interruption, and Geo damage bonus.

This makes him a great support for Geo characters, especially those with a DEF of at least 20. With C4, he gains the additional utility of healing.

This makes him essentially irreplaceable in teams with DEF-scaling Geo DPS units like Itto, Albedo, and Noelle.

Gorou’s playstyle is very straightforward. He focuses on farming and minion control, using his minions to push the enemy back and protect his own base. ..

Just cast his skill and burst then switch out – that’s his entire gameplay. Simply make sure to cast his skill/burst before the abilities of the characters he’s buffing.

He doesn’t have any specific attacks that can be used to damage or stun enemies, so it’s basically impossible to play him ‘wrong’.

Gorou’s buffing abilities in his kit rely entirely on his talent levels.

Gorou has a lot of freedom when it comes to his weapon and artifact options. This allows him to optimize his stats without sacrificing his buffing abilities. ..

Exile – a 4-star artifact set. His best-in-slot artifact set is made up of four pieces: Exile, a 4-star artifact; Daring, a 3-star artifact; Inevitable, a 2-star artifact; and Unforgiving, a 1-star artifact.

Gorou’s 4-star artifacts have notably lower scalings, so they’re generally not recommended for most units in late-game. However, this isn’t a problem for Gorou.

Energy Recharge is a valuable passive ability that can be helpful for players who want to support their allies. Gorou can easily take full advantage of the passive to help his team.

The lower stat scalings won’t have a negative effect on his buffing abilities at all. ..

Gorou Weaknesses

Gorou is a great player in his niche teams, but he’s not as good at other things.

DEF-scaling DPS units are not relevant to any account that does not use them.

Gorou only generates two Geo particles per skill cast, and he mostly stays on-field.

This means that he needs to catch very few energy particles every rotation in order to recharge his Energy Recharge (ER) requirements.

His energy requirements greatly depend on multiple factors (like his teammates and opponents), but it can easily reach around 200% ER.

ER weapons, sands, and artifacts with ER substats can solve the problem.

DEF-buffing ability is only affected by talent levels, so you can easily dedicate his artifact stats to building ER. And more Energy Recharge is always recommended.

Are Gorou’s Constellations Good?

Gorou has a great constellation system – all of which are very useful.

If you use him, it’s highly recommended to pull for his constellations. But if you don’t, then it’s never recommended. No constellation changes his main role and playstyle as a support. ..

In short, his constellations provide him with buffs that make him a better healer and allow him to work as a quality-of-life buff. C6 is his best constellation by far. ..

The ability to boost units’ DPS by 50% makes C6 the most powerful unit in the game. Additionally, it retroactively makes his C1-C5 better because they bring you closer to his C6.

Gorou, the God of the Sky, is said to have created over 100 constellations. Some of these are well-known and popular, such as Orion and the Big Dipper, while others are less well-known but just as beautiful. Here’s a closer look at all of Gorou’s constellations. ..

C1: Rushing Hound: Swift as the Wind

When characters within the AOE of Gorou’s skill or bust deal Geo damage, his skill cooldown decreases by 2s. This can occur once every 10s.

Gorou is always slotted into Geo teams, so this effect is basically guaranteed.

At C0, Gorou already has 100% uptime in his skill thanks to its 10s duration and cooldown. So C1 is just a way of repositioning Gorou’s skill – which is a nice option to have.

C2: Sitting Hound: Steady as a Clock

Gorou’s burst can extend its duration by 1s when a nearby active character obtains an elemental shard from a crystallize reaction. This can occur once every 0.1s and can extend its duration for up to 3s.

This is a good constellation for finding objects.

The three main characters of the story are Albedo, Itto, and Noelle. Albedo is the protagonist, Noelle is the sidekick, and Itto is the support character. All three of them have different buffs that they use to help their allies. The main buff that Albedo and Noelle use is called “DEF buffs.” These buffs give their allies a buff for a set amount of time, usually 10 seconds. However, C2 (the second buff) gives their allies an extended buff that lasts for 30 seconds. This makes it more useful for them to have because they don’t need to wait for the extended buff to expire before using it.

C3: Mauling Hound: Fierce as Fire

Increases his elemental skill talent level by 3.

This constellation increases the buffing multipliers for Gorou’s teammates. It is a good choice.

C4: Lapping Hound: Warm as Water

Gorou, the Dragon of the East, has a unique ability that can heal allies in its area of effect. This healing occurs every 1.5 seconds and restores 50% of the character’s defense as HP. ..

C4 is a constellation that can remove the need for a healer on your team. This is due to the fact that it has two stars in it, which are capable of healing other players.

The Geo team’s shielder is generally enough for them.

C5: Striking Hound: Thunderous Force

The elemental burst talent level of the player increases by three. ..

Gorou’s buff to his burst damage multipliers is insignificant. He is not meant to deal damage, so this buff is not significant. ..

C6: Valiant Hound: Mountainous Fealty

Gorou increases the CRIT damage of all nearby teammates’ Geo damage for 12 seconds. The buff increases with more Geo units in the team. ..

1 Geo unit: 10% CRIT damage 2 Geo units: 20% CRIT damage 3 Geo units: 40% CRIT damage

This is Gorou’s best constellation – and it’s very straightforward. It has a few simple buffs that are effective on every Geo unit in Gorou’s team.
