This page is part of IGN's Genshin Impact Wiki guide and details everything you need to know aboutNoelle, which includes a full character overview, how to obtain Noelle, combat details, talents, and skill upgrade priorities, a recommended character build, and much more.
Noelle's ambitions extend beyond being a mere maid for the Knights of Favonius. The citizens of Mondstadt all dream of one day helping the cause, and she's no different. Her skills can't quite see her through the trials needed to don the armor of a Knight, but she's happy to observe, learn, and help anyone out along the way.

Noelle comes practically free through the discounted Beginner's Wish banner and can hold her own in battle without much effort. Her command over Geo can create damage-mitigating shields and imbue her weapon with extra shield-crushing power. She's a common sight on F2P teams, but one that often gets sidelined with a few good pulls.
Noelle is an almost free character available on the Beginner's Wish banner. Aside from that, she usually gets a lot of rate-ups so it wouldn't be hard to get her constellations.
Combat Details

For the most part, Noelle focuses more on defensive support than full-on damage. Like Beidou and Razor, her claymore is a little bit too slow to deal any serious damage on its, instead being used to break down shields both physical and elemental.
Though a little lackluster on its own, the crushing power of her weapon can be bolstered with her Elemental Burst ability, imbuing each strike with increased range and rock-solid Geo power. She's trained to sweep, after all. With her Elemental Skill in effect, Noelle gains a shield and begins healing the team with each strike of her weapon. Both boost scale from her DEF stat, making her a premier tank to swap in when the rest of the team needs patching up.
Noelle's Talents and Skill Priorities
Noelle's supportive capabilities come from her elemental skill so the skill priority for her should be
- Elemental Skill
- Elemental Burst
- Normal Attack
| Type | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | Favonius Bladework - Maid | Normal Attack Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes. Charged Attack Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous swirling attacks against all nearby enemies. Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging enemies along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. |
| Elemental Skill | Breastplate | Summons a protective stone armor, dealingGeoDMG to surrounding enemies and creating a shield. The shield's DMG Absorption scales based on Noelle's DEF. The shield has the following properties:
The amount of HP healed when regeneration is triggered scales based on Noelle's DEF. |
| Elemental Burst | Sweeping Time | Gathering the strength of stone around her weapon, Noelle strikes the enemies surrounding her within a large AoE, dealingGeoDMG. Afterwards, Noelle gains the following effects:
|
| First Ascension Passive | Devotion | When Noelle is in the party but not on the field, this ability triggers automatically when the active character's HP falls below 30%: Creates a shield that lasts for 20s and absorbs DMG equal to 400% of Noelle's DEF. This effect can only occur once every 60s. |
| Fourth Ascension Passive | Nice and Clean | Every 4 Normal or Charged Attack hits will decrease the CD ofBreastplateby 1s. Hitting multiple enemies with a single attack is only counted as 1 hit. |
| Passive Talent | Maid's Knighthood | When a Perfect Cooking is achieved on a DEF-boosting dish, Noelle has a 12% chance to obtain double the product. |
Noelle's Constellations

Noelle's Constellations further bolster her position in the support department with C1 being one of the most important constellations for her. The others to look out for are C2, C4, and C6.
| Constellation Name | In-Game Description |
|---|---|
| I Got Your Back (C1) | WhileSweeping TimeandBreastplateare both in effect, the chance ofBreastplate's healing effects activating is increased to 100%. |
| Combat Maid (C2) | Decreases the Stamina Consumption of Noelle's Charged Attacks by 20% and increases her Charged Attack DMG by 15%. |
| Invulnerable Maid (C3) | Increases the Level ofBreastplateby 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| To Be Cleaned (C4) | WhenBreastplate's duration expires or it is destroyed by DMG, it will deal 400% ATK ofGeoDMG to surrounding enemies. |
| Favonius Sweeper Master (C5) | Increase the Level ofSweeping Timeby 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| Must Be Spotless (C6) | Sweeping Timeincreases Noelle's ATK by an additional 50% of her DEF. Additionally, every enemy defeated during the skill's duration adds 1s to the duration, up to 10s. |
Noelle doesn't rank that high in our Tier List, but this doesn't mean that she's a character you can gloss over. If you're in need of shielding, which not a lot of characters can do, she can fill that role until you get a much better support character.
Best Weapons for Noelle
However, in the deep caves of Genshin Impact Theorycrafters, there exists a build that instead focuses on her ability to deal massive damage with her Elemental Burst. The caveat to that would be the requirement of C6, but with how frequent she gets her rate-ups, it's definitely achievable.
The Main DPS Noelle would wear any of these weapons. For a more supportive role, go with Whiteblind.
| Weapon Name | In-Game Description |
|---|---|
| Whiteblind | On hit, Normal or Charged Attacks increase ATK and DEF by6% for 6s. Max 4 stacks (24% total). Can only occur once every 0.5s. |
| The Unforged | Increases Shield Strength by20%. Scoring hits on opponents increases ATK by4% for 8s. Max 5 stacks. Can only occur once every 0.3s. While protected by a shield, this ATK increase effect is increased by 100%. |
| Skyward Pride | Increases all DMG by8%. After using an Elemental Burst, Normal or Charged Attack, on hit, creates a vacuum blade that does80% of ATK as DMG to opponents along its path. Lasts for 20s or 8 vacuum blades. |

Best Artifacts for Noelle
Artifacts for Noelle differ from the role she fulfills. As you can see, she has quite a bit of option. Going for a 4 piece Retracing Bolide is very worth it if you have The Unforged. Otherwise, you can go for a 4 piece Gladiator's Finale.
If your Noelle is more on the supportive side, you can go with either 2 piece Retracing Bolide and 2 piece Maiden Beloved or a full set of Maiden Beloved.
For main stats, look out for DEF Sands, DEF Goblet, and DEF Circlet. You can switch out the circlet to a Healing% if you want more healing.
| Artifact Name | In-Game Description |
|---|---|
| Retracing Bolide |
|
| Maiden Beloved |
|
| Gladiator's Finale |
