Noelle is one of the easiest 4 stars to earn in the game. New players can grab her for free through the Beginner's Wish banner, as it only takes 16 Acquaint Fate / 2560 total to cover the twenty sweaters, which new players will easily win at the start of Genshin Impact. She's also available in the Standard Banner, but will get a boost rate in the Ganyu Banner (which is live as of publication). Noelle is a solid character with no constellations, but if you bring her to C6, her elemental glow becomes a whirlwind of utter destruction.
Genshin Impact Noelle character and build breakdown
Below is the full list of Noelle's attacks and abilities, her passive talents, constellations, and lastly all of her ascension and talent requirements. Building recommendations, to include both suggested weapons and artifact sets, are the focus of this guide following Noelle's constellations.

Noelle building suggestions
As you can see in Noelle's constellations above, she can be played as a tanky support or a powerful damage dealer in Genshin Impact. You'll need to unlock her Sixth Constellation to take full advantage of the latter role, but Battle Maid Favonius can beat you if you manage to shoot her that many times (as always, I encourage you to spend responsibly).
Since Noelle can be used in different ways, how you build her will depend on A.) which constellations you unlocked and B.) your personal preferences. Each suggested weapon and artifact set will serve one of these roles, so play around with Noelle a bit to see how she fits best into your Genshin Impact team. If you don't want to shoot for her constellations, Noelle is a great defensive healer.
Whether you plan on using Noelle as a support character (healer / tank) or as a damage dealer, the best 4 star weapon for her is. This strengthens both his attack and his defense, and all you have to do is hit the enemies. , a 5-star claymore, is perfect for him if you plan to use him as one of your main damage dealers in Genshin Impact, but I don't recommend prioritizing draws over character banners. That's good, but Whiteblind is easier to earn (it can be crafted at the Blacksmith) and he excels regardless of Noelle's role in your party.
- On hit, normal or charged attacks increase attack and defense by 6% for 6s. Max 4 batteries (24% in total). Can only occur once every 0,5 s. Secondary: Defense
- Additional defense, which Noelle's abilities increase, and damage to compensate for her relatively lower DPS. At C6, this bonus attack damage becomes more beneficial than dressing, and the blade's secondary defense stat improves its skills even further.
- Increases shield strength by 20%, hits on opponents increase attack by 4% for 8s. Max 5 batteries. Can only occur once every 0,3 s. When protected by a shield, this attack boost effect is increased by 100%. Secondary: Attack
- This blade makes a C6 Noelle even deadlier, but its 5 star status means you have to shoot for it. Don't prioritize unless you have the Primogems to burn and you're happy with your roster.
Artifact sets for Noelle are determined by the role you want her to fulfill. If you want her to act as a full support, you'll want to grab hold of the Maiden Beloved Artifact Set, as it increases the effectiveness of healing. Noelle's damage-focused cleanup workshop when equipped with the Retracing Bolide set, but if you want to use Noelle as a hybrid / DPS support in Genshin Impact, mixing the two sets will prove to be the best.
