Genshin Impact Gorou build guide in Version 2.7: Weapons, artifacts, and Talent priorities

sportskeeda.com:

Players interested in a Gorou build guide likely already have Itto or another Geo juggernaut in Genshin Impact 2.7. After all, he's the best Geo support option in the game so far.

If that is the case, it should go without saying that Gorou's build will primarily be support-oriented with some focus on his DEF due to his skillset.

Gorou is a one-note character as far as builds go in Genshin Impact, but that doesn't mean he's bad. Rather, he's just a simple support unit who makes Geo teams shine. This should be obvious, considering his Elemental Skill possesses a buff related to having three Geo units on the team.

Here is a short summary of a Gorou build:

Weapons and artifacts will get more in-depth sections below. This section will briefly cover Gorou's ideal Talent Priority.

For starters, a good build will likely result in him barely doing any damage relative to the rest of the team. Hence, Normal Attacks are, by far, his lowest priority.

Both Gorou's Elemental Skill and Burst are good, but his Elemental Skill is a little bit more useful for his support capabilities (the DEF bonus becomes noticeable at higher levels).

The main artifacts to consider for Gorou are:

Husk of Opulent Dreams has obvious synergy with Gorou in Genshin Impact due to the fact that it boosts his DEF by 30%. Its 4-piece effect also boosts his DEF (and Geo DMG, but he won't do much damage either way).

Emblem of Severed Fate has a practical 2-piece effect (Energy Recharge +20%), but its 4-piece effect is useless on Gorou. For those who don't know, its 4-piece effect boosts the user's Elemental Burst DMG, and this character isn't built for damage.

Noblesse Oblige's 2-piece effect is similarly insignificant
