    Who is Gorou?

    “Kindness and loyalty are the representation of virtue. Without a doubt, my friend Gorou is a virtuous general.”

     —Kazuha’s voice line about Gorou

    Gorou is a general of the Watatsumi Army serving under Sangonomiya Kokomi. He is a 4-star Geo bow user with a strong sense of compassion and is well-liked by the soldiers under his command.

    Born with a fighting intuition, Gorou is said to have found a way to victory even in the most difficult battles.

    Read this guide to help understand his skills and make the best use of his kit.

    How To Get Gorou in Genshin Impact

    Gorou is a 4-star rarity character in Genshin Impact, so he isn’t limited to an event-specific banner. He can be obtained by wishing on all banners. There are a bunch of methods you can use to get Gorou:

    Wishing on Standard Banner

    By wishing on the Standard Banner Wanderlust Invocation, players have a chance to get Gorou out of a pool of multiple 4-stars.

    Gorou was added to Genshin’s 4-star pool in the second phase of the v2.3 update.

    Purchasing From Star Glitter Exchange

    You can occasionally get Gorou from Paimon’s store by spending Masterless Starglitter.

    Wishing on Rate-up Banners

    Gorou Genshin Impact

    He is often featured as a 4-star character in limited-time banners, and the chance to obtain him is boosted.

    Gorou Main Abilities

    Gorou Main Abilities

    Ripping Fang Fletching

    Gorou’s Normal attacks have him perform 4 consecutive shots with his bow. He can perform a charged attack and deliver a precise Aimed Shot dealing Geo DMG.

    He can also perform a plunging aerial attack firing a shower of arrows and dealing AoE damage on impact.

    Inuzuka All-Round Defense

    Using Gorou’s Elemental Skill sets up a General’s War Banner and deals AoE Geo DMG. The banner provides buffs based on the number of Geo characters in the party. By holding the Elemental Skill, you can adjust the location of the banner in the field.

    Standing Firm: Having 1 Geo character in the party adds DEF Bonus.

    Impregnable: Having 2 Geo characters in the party increases resistance to interruption.

    Crunch: Having 3 Geo characters in the party adds Geo DMG Bonus.

    Juuga: Forward Unto Victory

    Using his Elemental Burst, Gorou deals Geo DMG and creates a field known as General’s Glory, which provides buffs based on the number of active Geo characters in the party.

    In the Elemental Burst field, General’s Glory generates a Crystal Collapse within the skill’s AoE that deals AoE Geo DMG to an opponent every 1.5s.

    Increases the Elemental Burst level by 3 and can be maxed up to level 15.

    Valiant Hound: Mountainous Fealty

    Where to get Spectral Nucleus?

    Gorou Genshin Impact: Best Weapons

    Elegy for the End

    Gorou Genshin Impact Weapons

    Elegy for the End is so far the only 5-star bow in the game that adds Energy Recharge as its sub-stat. When Gorou is wielding the bow, it increases his Elemental Mastery by 60.

    Additionally, when Gorou uses his Elemental Burst or Skill, he gains Sigils. When 4 Sigils are collected, they will be consumed, increasing Elemental Mastery by 100 and ATK by 20% for 12s.

    Favonius Warbow

    Favonious Warbow is one of the 4-star bows with Energy Recharge as a bonus stat. When equipped, every 12s, Gorou’s CRIT Hits have a 60% chance to generate Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for whichever character catches the particles.

    Sacrificial Bow

    Sacrificial Bow is a good alternative 4-star bow for Gorou with an increase in Energy Recharge. Gorou has a 40% chance to end his own Elemental Skill’s Cooldown after using the skill once every 30s.

    Gorou Genshin Impact Best Artifacts

    Husk of Opulent Dreams

    This is considered Gorou’s best Artifact set as it increases his DEF%, which is what Gorou scales off.

    • 2-Piece Set: Increases DEF by 30%.
    • 4-Piece Set: Obtain the Curiosity effect. After hitting an opponent with a Geo attack, gain 1 stack every 0.3s. When off-field, gain 1 stack every 3s. Curiosity can provide 6% DEF and a 6% Geo DMG Bonus stacking up to 4 times. For every 6s the effect is not stacked 1 stack is lost. 

    As Gorou mainly deals with Geo DMG building him on DEF will boost his performance. 

    Archaic Petra

    • 2-Piece Set: Increases Geo DMG Bonus by 15%.
    • 4-Piece Set: On getting a Crystallize Elemental Shard, for 10s all team members gain a 35% Elemental DMG Bonus.

    Noblesse Oblige

    • 2-Piece Set: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 20%.
    • 4-Piece Set: For 12s, using an Elemental Burst increases all team members’ ATK by 20%.

    Gorou Best Teams

    There are several teams that Gorou can contribute to in a Support role. Some of these teams are: 

    Support Team

    • Arataki Itto – Albedo – Gorou – Zhongli

    In this party, Itto is the main DPS who can spam his Charge Attack while Albedo is the sub-DPS with his Elemental Burst. When Gorou is acting as Support, Albedo’s Elemental Burst and Itto’s Charged Attack gain increased Geo DMG and DEF Bonus. Zhongli will provide a shield in this team.

    • Itto – Albedo – Ningguang – Gorou

    In this all-Geo team, Gorou will increase Itto’s DEF, Albedo’s Elemental Skill, and Ningguang’s interruption resistance. 

    Additionally, he will improve all party members’ Geo DMG.

    Gorou Best Builds

    Gorou’s best builds help him play the role of a Geo Support. Here is how you can build him to be a compatible Geo Support.

    Support Gorou Build

    The best weapon for Gorou Support build is the Favonius Warbow, with Sacrificial Bow as a good alternative. 

    The best artifact set for this build is the Husk of Opulent Dreams.

    Gorou, as Support, relies on DEF% and Energy Recharge as his main stats. This way, he can recharge his Elemental Burst quickly and boost other Geo characters in the party. The Favonious Warbow will be able to boost his CRIT Rate.

    • Sands: DEF% or Energy Recharge
    • Goblet:  DEF%
    • Circlet: DEF%

    Priority Sub-Stats

    • DEF%

    How old is Gorou?

    Gorou is 16 years old. 

    How Tall is Gorou in Genshin Impact?
