How to play Gorou

With Gorou, do not seek to have a DPS, whether in primary or secondary. We will be clear right away, Gorou is above all a support, and that's all. He will come to bring bonuses, as well as a contribution in particles. It will boost your other characters, such as Albedo or Itto. So just try to play the rotation with him: put down his banner, and use his ultimate when it's useful. It's not really relevant to use his attack.

With whom to play Gorou?

Gorou mostly performs with a Geo team. Proof of this is with its banner since it has additional effects depending on the number of Geo characters in your team. He is a perfect complement to Itto but can also be played with the rest of the characters in this element.

• Arataki Itto
• Zhongli
• albedo
• Noelle
• ningguang
