Collei is one of the new Genshin Impact characters to be revealed in advance of version 3.0 and the introduction of the Sumeru region.  She's one of two characters, alongside Tighnari, who use the new Dendro element which will be added with the tropical, jungle-strewn region. Dendro is a plant element, after all, letting players manipulate life to create all sorts of new reactions.

Collei is a ranger-in-training in the Avidya Forest; one of the new locations we can expect to visit in Sumeru. Like Tighnari, the head ranger, she is also a Dendro bow-user, though she's a four-star character. Collei actually features quite heavily in the Genshin Impact prequel manga, due to her grudge against the Fatui, and she's even acquainted with fellow Mondstadt ranger, Amber. Chances are her story will play a reasonably big part in Sumeru's questline.

In this Genshin Impact Collei guide, I'll talk through her possible release date, as well as her newly released abilities so you can find out what she's capable of.

Release date

When is the Collei release date? 

Collei is arriving at the start of version 3.0 on August 24. She will be available as part of both Tighnari and Zhongli's banners during the first phase of the update. It's also worth noting that you'll get Collei for free just by completing the tutorial quest for the Graven Innocence event.

Well... it's been so long, I wonder if her hair has grown out and if she's taller?" — Amber◆ Collei◆ Sprout of Rebirth◆ Avidya Forest Ranger Trainee◆ Dendro◆ Leptailurus Cervarius#GenshinImpact #Sumeru pic.twitter.com/sYz8bk8o57July 11, 2022

Abilities

Collei's abilities

We already know Collei's abilities, constellations, and passives (Thanks Honey Hunter), though since these are pre-beta, chances are they could change before version 3.0 comes out:

Normal attack: Supplicant's Bowmanship

Normal	Perform up to four shots with a bow.
Charged	Perform a precise shot with increased damage. Fully charged shots deal Dendro damage.
Plunging	Fire off a shower of arrows before plunging to the ground dealing AoE damage.

Elemental skill

Floral Brush

Throw a Floral Ring that deals Anemo damage to opponents along its path. The ring returns after a short time dealing another instance of Dendro damage.

Elemental burst

Trump-Card Kitty

Throws the doll, Cuilein-Anbar, causing an AoE Dendro explosion and creating a Cuilein-Anbar zone that deals AoE Dendro damage.

Passives

Gliding Champion of Sumeru	Reduces gliding stamina consumption for your party by 20 percent.
Floral Sidewinder	If a party member triggers Burning, Quicken, Bloom, Aggravate, Spread, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon reactions before the Floral Ring returns, the character is granted the Sprout effect. This deals Dendro damage equivalent to 40 percent of Collei's attack to nearby opponents for three seconds.
The Languid Wood	When a character within the Culein-Anbar zone triggers Burning, Quicken, Bloom, Aggravate, Spread, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon, the zone's duration is increased by one second.

Constellations

Deepwood Patrol	When in the party and not on the field, Collei's energy recharge is buffed by 20 percent.
Through Hill and Copse	Allows you to increase the duration of Sprout from Floral Sidewinder by three seconds when you trigger Burning, Quicken, Bloom, Aggravate, Spread, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon reactions.
Scent of Summer	Increases level of Floral Brush by three. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Gift of the Woods	Using Trump-Card Kitty will increase all characters' elemental mastery by 60 for 12 seconds, excluding Collei.
All Embers	Increases the level of Trump-Card Kitty by three. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Forest of Falling Arrows	When the Floral Ring hits opponents it will create a Cullein-Anbar that deals 200 percent of Collei's attack as Dendro damage. Each Floral Brush can only create one.
