Who Is Dori in Genshin Impact?

Dori (full name Dori Sangemah Bay) is a 4-star Electro character in Genshin Impact. She wields a Claymore and hails from Sumeru, where she is the owner of The Palace of Alcazarzaray and one of the most notorious traveling merchants in all of Teyvat. Known by the title Lord Sangemah Bay, she is famous for being able to procure anything a customer needs — at jaw-dropping prices.

In combat, Dori fills the role of off-field healer and Energy battery. Her Elemental Burst summons a Jinni spirit that attaches to a nearby ally and continuously restores both their HP (scaling off Dori’s Max HP) and their Elemental Energy throughout its duration. This makes her one of the few characters in the game who can provide simultaneous healing and Energy Recharge passively while off the field. She is a flexible support who fits into a wide range of teams, from Hyperbloom to Electro-Charged to mono Electro compositions.

Dori’s Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

Unique dual-utility Burst — One of the only characters in the game who provides both off-field healing and off-field Energy Recharge to an ally simultaneously. This combination is rare and highly practical in Energy-hungry teams.
Healing scales with HP — Because her heals come from her Max HP, building her for support is very straightforward. Her healing output can be impressive with the right artifacts.
Off-field Electro application — Her Burst connects to an active character and applies Electro to them, which can then interact with incoming Dendro, Hydro, or Cryo for automatic reaction triggering without Dori needing to be on the field.
Elemental Skill self-energises — Her A1 passive restores Energy to Dori based on her Energy Recharge whenever her Skill hits an enemy, helping her maintain Burst uptime without relying entirely on teammates for particles.
Low opportunity cost — As a Standard Banner 4-star, Dori is accessible to most players and her build does not compete heavily with limited 5-star characters for the same resources.
Good in Hyperbloom — In Hyperbloom teams, Dori can be built with Elemental Mastery to trigger Hyperbloom reactions while simultaneously healing and providing Energy to teammates.

Weaknesses

Very high Energy Recharge requirement — Dori needs at least 200% Energy Recharge to maintain reliable Burst uptime, which requires significant substat investment or specific weapons.
Burst only heals and energises one character — The Jinni from her Burst connects to only one nearby ally at a time. Characters not connected to the Jinni do not directly benefit from the healing and Energy tether.
Limited off-field Electro without C6 — Her Electro application is decent but not the strongest until C6, which infuses her Normal Attacks with Electro and enables her to be an active reaction driver on the field.
Low personal damage — Dori does not deal significant damage. Her value is almost entirely in her support tools.

Dori’s Abilities and Talents

Normal Attack – Marvelous Sword-Dance (Modified)

Dori performs up to three consecutive Claymore strikes. Her Charged Attack drains Stamina to perform a continuous spinning attack, finishing with a strong final slash. Her Plunging Attack deals AoE damage on landing. Dori’s Normal Attacks are not a primary damage source in her support role and are generally not prioritised unless she is at C6, where they become infused with Electro for reaction driving.

Elemental Skill – Spirit-Warding Lamp: Troubleshooter Cannon

Dori directs her Spirit-Warding Lamp to fire a Troubleshooter Shot at an enemy, dealing Electro damage. The Troubleshooter Shot then creates two homing After-Sales Service Rounds that automatically track nearby enemies and deal additional Electro damage. This Skill is an important part of her rotation because it generates Electro Elemental Particles for Energy, and her A1 passive triggers off it to restore Dori’s own Energy based on her Energy Recharge stat. Use this on cooldown in every rotation to maintain particle generation and energy self-sustain.

Elemental Burst – Alcazarzaray’s Exactitude

Dori summons the Jinni within her lamp to aid a nearby character. The Jinni connects to one nearby ally and provides the following effects for its duration.

Continuously restores HP based on Dori’s Max HP.
Continuously regenerates Elemental Energy for the connected character.
Applies Electro to the connected character, which can interact with other elements on enemies to trigger reactions.

This Burst is the heart of Dori’s support identity. Energy cost is 80, and the cooldown is 20 seconds. Because nearly all of her value lives here, maintaining 200%+ Energy Recharge to use it every rotation is the single most important stat target for building her.

Passive Talents

An Eye for Gold (A1) — When Troubleshooter Shots from Spirit-Warding Lamp: Troubleshooter Cannon hit opponents, Dori restores 5 Elemental Energy for every 100% Energy Recharge she has. A maximum of 15 Energy can be restored per Skill use. This passive is the main reason Dori can maintain Burst uptime despite not using a low-cost Burst — it means the more ER she stacks, the more Energy she restores to herself per Skill activation. Note: This passive was also updated to include Lunar-Charged interactions.
Compound Interest (A4) — When the Jinni heals the connected character, it fires a Jinni Toop from that character’s position dealing 50% of Troubleshooter Shot’s damage. This adds a small source of extra Electro damage while Dori is off-field, contributing to reaction triggering.
Unexpected Order (Utility) — When Dori crafts Weapon Ascension Materials, she has a 10% chance to produce double the output. Helpful for weapon levelling during crafting sessions.

Best Weapons for Dori

Dori’s weapon priority is simple: Energy Recharge first, everything else second. She does not need ATK or CRIT stats from her weapon because she does not deal significant damage in her support role. Any weapon that helps her reach the 200%+ ER threshold is the correct choice.

Best Weapons

Favonius Greatsword (Best Overall) — This is Dori’s single best weapon for virtually every team. It has Energy Recharge as its substat and a passive that generates additional Elemental Particles on CRIT hits, providing Energy to all party members. It solves Dori’s massive ER needs while also helping energy-hungry teammates. The main requirement is a modest CRIT Rate on her artifacts to trigger the passive reliably. Widely considered her go-to pick regardless of build.
Sacrificial Greatsword — A strong alternative with Energy Recharge as its substat and a passive that resets the Elemental Skill cooldown on hit. This allows Dori to cast her Skill twice per rotation without swapping to her a second time, which massively increases her particle generation and self-Energy restoration through her A1 passive. In Hyperbloom teams where every second of field time matters, Sacrificial Greatsword can outperform Favonius in some rotations.
Katsuragikiri Nagamasa (Craftable) — A craftable Claymore from Inazuma with Energy Recharge as a substat and a passive that restores Energy after using the Elemental Skill. A solid F2P option if you lack either of the top two weapons.
Forest Regalia (Craftable) — Another craftable option with Energy Recharge and a passive that creates Leaf of Consciousness tokens granting Elemental Mastery. Useful in Dendro reaction teams like Hyperbloom where Elemental Mastery is valued.
Skyward Pride — A high base ATK 5-star Claymore with Energy Recharge as its substat. Works fine if you have it and lack better options, but Energy Recharge swords are more efficient for her kit.

Best Artifacts for Dori

Dori’s artifact choice depends heavily on her team role. She has two distinct builds: the pure healer/battery support build and the Hyperbloom reaction build.

Gilded Dreams (4-Piece) – Best for Hyperbloom and Reaction Teams

In Hyperbloom and Aggravate teams, Elemental Mastery is Dori’s most important damage stat because it directly amplifies the damage of Hyperbloom Seeds she triggers with her Electro application. The 4-piece Gilded Dreams set grants EM from the 2-piece bonus and additional ATK% or EM from the 4-piece bonus based on party composition. In a Dendro-Hydro team, Dori will typically receive significant Elemental Mastery, making this her best choice for reaction-heavy comps.

Ocean-Hued Clam (4-Piece) – Best for Pure Healer Build

In teams where Dori purely functions as a healer and Energy battery (with no need for reaction damage), Ocean-Hued Clam is an excellent choice. The 4-piece bonus converts excess healing into bubble damage that bursts on enemies, giving Dori a source of passive damage contribution that scales entirely from her healing output. This works particularly well when her HP is high and her Burst is frequently healing.

Mixed HP% Sets

A combination of 2-piece Tenacity of the Millelith (+20% HP) and 2-piece Maiden Beloved (+15% Healing Bonus) is a straightforward healer build that maximises her HP and healing output without requiring perfect 4-piece set bonus conditions. Good for players who want a reliable all-purpose build without specific domain farming.

Noblesse Oblige (4-Piece) – Team Buffer Alternative

If no other teammate is running Noblesse Oblige, equipping Dori with this set allows her Burst to grant all party members a 20% ATK boost. This trades some of her healing focus for a team-wide ATK buff, which can be valuable in teams with strong ATK-scaling DPS characters.

Recommended Artifact Main Stats

Sands: Energy Recharge (until 200%+ is reached) or HP%
Goblet: HP% (for healer build) or Elemental Mastery (for Hyperbloom)
Circlet: Healing Bonus (for healer build) or Elemental Mastery (for Hyperbloom)

Recommended Substats

Energy Recharge is the absolute top priority — get her to 200% or above before worrying about anything else. After that, stack HP% for stronger healing in support builds, or Elemental Mastery for reaction builds. CRIT Rate in modest amounts helps with Favonius Greatsword passive triggers but is not a primary stat target.

Dori Constellations Guide

Dori is available on the Standard Banner and has appeared as a featured 4-star on multiple Event Wish banners, making her constellations relatively accessible over time. She functions well at C0, but her constellations do improve her meaningfully, especially C4 and C6.

C1 – Additional Investment: The number of After-Sales Service Rounds created by Troubleshooter Shots is increased by 1 (from 2 to 3). More homing Electro projectiles means more hits, more Electro application, and more triggers of her A1 passive for additional self-Energy restoration. A solid quality-of-life upgrade.
C2 – Special Franchise: Party members who receive healing from the Jinni will deal 50% of Dori’s ATK as additional DMG to nearby enemies. This adds a minor team-wide damage component triggered by the healing. Not a large damage source but a free bonus.
C3 – Wonders Never Cease: Increases the level of Alcazarzaray’s Exactitude (Burst) by 3, up to a maximum of level 15. Directly increases the healing output from her Burst, which scales with Burst talent level.
C4 – Discretionary Supplement (Best Support Constellation): The character connected to the Jinni gains additional buffs based on their current HP and Energy status. If their HP is below 50%, they gain 50% Incoming Healing Bonus. If their Energy is below 50%, they gain 30% Energy Recharge. These conditional buffs trigger precisely when teammates need them most, making this constellation highly impactful for supporting characters who have just used their Burst and are low on both HP and Energy simultaneously.
C5 – Value for Mora: Increases the level of Spirit-Warding Lamp: Troubleshooter Cannon (Elemental Skill) by 3, up to a maximum of level 15. Boosts Skill damage and the damage of After-Sales Service Rounds.
C6 – Sprinkling Weight (Biggest Upgrade): Dori gains Electro Infusion on her Normal Attacks and heals all nearby party members equal to 4% of her Max HP on every Normal Attack hit for 3 seconds after using her Elemental Skill. This constellation transforms Dori’s on-field gameplay entirely. She can now actively drive Electro reactions on the field while healing the entire team simultaneously with Normal Attacks. This makes her genuinely viable as an on-field Hyperbloom or Aggravate driver, significantly raising her value in Dendro reaction teams.

Dori’s Best Team Compositions

Dori’s primary strength is her ability to sustain teammates with healing and Energy simultaneously. Her best teams leverage this dual utility while also making use of her off-field Electro application.

Hyperbloom Dori Team

This is one of Dori’s strongest team setups. Hyperbloom requires Electro, Dendro, and Hydro to be present on enemies simultaneously. Dori’s Burst applies Electro to the active character, who can then react with Dendro seeds created by Bloom (Hydro + Dendro) to trigger Hyperbloom. For this role, build Dori with high Elemental Mastery to maximise the Hyperbloom reaction damage she triggers.

Dori + Nahida + Kokomi + flex — Nahida provides Dendro application and buffs EM for the team. Kokomi applies Hydro and heals. Dori’s Burst connects to the active character and keeps triggering Hyperbloom via Electro. The flex slot can be another Dendro character, an Anemo for grouping, or a second Hydro unit.
Dori + Dendro Traveler + Xingqiu + Collei — An accessible F2P Hyperbloom setup. Dori heals and batteries Xingqiu while Dendro Traveler and Collei apply Dendro to create seeds for Bloom and Hyperbloom.

Mono Electro / Electro Team

In Electro-heavy teams, Dori’s Energy battery function is especially valuable. Energy-hungry characters like Yae Miko and Raiden Shogun benefit greatly from the constant Energy feed from her Burst’s Jinni tether.

Dori + Raiden Shogun + Yae Miko + Kujou Sara — All four are Electro. Dori sustains the team with healing and helps Yae Miko maintain her 90-cost Burst uptime. Raiden batteries the whole team and is a strong on-field DPS. Sara buffs Electro damage. This team has strong Electro resonance and consistent damage output.
Dori + Fischl + Keqing + Kazuha — Dori keeps Keqing healthy and energised. Fischl adds consistent off-field Electro. Kazuha groups enemies and buffs Electro damage through Viridescent Venerer.

Electro-Charged Team

Dori pairs naturally with Hydro carries who trigger Electro-Charged reactions. Her off-field Electro application from the Burst Jinni tether feeds the reaction loop while she heals from off the field.

Dori + Kamisato Ayato + Fischl + Kazuha — Ayato drives Hydro damage on-field. Dori’s Jinni applies Electro to Ayato, triggering Electro-Charged on enemies hit by his Hydro attacks. Fischl adds off-field Electro damage. Kazuha groups and buffs.
Dori + Tartaglia + Fischl + Sucrose — Tartaglia drives Hydro, Dori provides healing and Electro through the Jinni, and Sucrose holds Viridescent Venerer for RES shred. A functional and accessible team for players without premium supports.

General Support Role

In any team with a high-cost Elemental Burst DPS, Dori can serve as a dedicated off-field healer and Energy support. Her Jinni tether is particularly useful for characters who use large amounts of Energy frequently and cannot afford to run a dedicated battery alongside them.

Dori + Cyno + Nahida + flex — Cyno has a very high Burst cost and needs consistent Energy. Dori keeps him alive and restores his Energy through the Jinni, letting him stay in his Burst state longer and deal more total Electro damage. Nahida applies Dendro for Aggravate reactions.

Dori Talent Priority

Recommended talent upgrade order: Burst > Skill > Normal Attack.

Her Burst is the core of everything she does. Upgrading it increases both the healing and Energy regeneration provided by the Jinni, which directly improves her support output. Level this first and prioritise crowning it for maximum healing investment. Her Elemental Skill is second because its damage and particle generation scale with talent level. Normal Attack is the lowest priority in her support and battery roles, though it becomes more relevant at C6 if she is acting as an on-field Electro driver.

Dori Lore and Character Background

Dori’s full name is Dori Sangemah Bay, and she is the owner of The Palace of Alcazarzaray — a traveling merchant enterprise operating across Sumeru. She goes by the title Lord Sangemah Bay and has built a reputation as the most resourceful merchant in the region. Her supply chain is mysterious and wide-reaching, reportedly including even Alice from Mondstadt among her network. If you need something rare, unusual, or outright impossible to find through normal channels, Dori can get it — provided you have enough Mora to pay her price.

Dori’s obsession with Mora is not simply greed for its own sake. Her character story reveals a deeply personal reason behind it: her older sister once suffered from a serious illness, and the family could not afford the treatment she needed. That experience left a permanent mark on Dori. She decided then and there that she would never again be in a position where Mora stood between her and protecting the people she cared about. Her drive to accumulate wealth is rooted in a fear of powerlessness — not simple avarice.

Despite her reputation for eye-watering prices and a willingness to dabble in the black market (which has drawn the attention of the Matras), Dori has a genuine, if eccentric, charm. She uses her appearance, energy, and persuasive flair to sell her goods, and her enthusiasm is undeniably infectious. She made her first story appearance in the Sumeru Archon Quest, where the Traveler first encounters her as an important transaction partner at the beginning of their journey through Sumeru.

Dori Playstyle Tips and Rotation Advice

Stack Energy Recharge aggressively — 200% is the minimum target. Without consistent Burst uptime, Dori provides almost no support. Her entire kit revolves around the Jinni from her Burst being active as often as possible.
Use Skill before swapping out — Cast her Elemental Skill every rotation to generate Electro particles and trigger her A1 passive for self-Energy restoration. The more ER she has, the more Energy she gets back per Skill use (up to 15 Energy maximum).
Position the Jinni carefully — The Jinni from her Burst connects to a nearby ally. Make sure you swap to the character you want to heal and energise before the Jinni attaches. The connection can change when you switch characters, so be intentional about who gets the tether.
Standard rotation — Use her Skill, swap to your main DPS, use your Burst supports, then swap back to Dori briefly to use her Burst before returning to the DPS. The Jinni will then keep healing and energising the active character while Dori sits off the field.
C6 on-field rotation — At C6, use her Skill to trigger Electro infusion on Normal Attacks and heal the whole team on hit. This adds a strong active option where Dori becomes both a healer and a reaction driver simultaneously.
Favonius CRIT Rate threshold — If using Favonius Greatsword, aim for at least 40–50% CRIT Rate on Dori to ensure its particle-generation passive triggers reliably. Use CRIT Rate substats or a CRIT Rate Circlet to reach this threshold.
