[C2] extends Gorou's Elemental Burst duration from 9 seconds to 12 seconds if the required Crystallize shields are obtained. This prolongs the 3 Geo 15% Geo DMG bonus for his teammates, making it ideal to use Burst as the last ability before swapping to the DPS character.
Talents Priority
SUPPORT Gorou is a Support character that can provide increasing buffs to your party members from his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst based on the number of Geo characters in your team (capped at 3). Casting his Elemental Skill sets up a banner that gives flat DEF (1 Geo), Interruption Resistance (2 Geo), and Geo DMG% Bonus (3 Geo) for your active character standing inside the banner radius. Casting his Elemental Burst creates a field following the active character that deals periodic damage and offers the same bonuses given by the Skill, destroying any placed banners in the process. It also pulls in nearby Elemental Shards created by Crystallize reactions. Due to his kit focusing on buffing DEF and Geo DMG, he's a specialized support geared towards Geo DPS that scales with DEF, such as Noelle or Itto. He can see niche use at [C6] with other Geo characters as well. Regarding Weapon Choices: Elegy for the End offers a helpful ER substat alongside an EM and ATK% buff for your teammates. While not directly useful in teams centered around Noelle or Itto, this could possibly be a good choice for future Geo DPS characters or in a team that utilizes Geo Resonance. Regarding Artifact Sets: The Exile (4) is a viable option, as casting Elemental Burst regenerates a total of 6 Energy for each of your party members. This set reduces your Energy Requirements by a bit for all of your party members, which can be quite beneficial. However, note that this is a 4-star set, so you're potentially missing out on 5-star stat scaling. Noblesse Oblige (4) can be considered if you've already met the ER requirement for Gorou. At that point, you'd no longer need to run the recommended ER% sets, which means you can opt for this instead. Regarding Artifact Mainstats and Substats Priority: At [C4], DEF% mainstats and substats (and potentially a Healing Bonus mainstat on Circlet) can be considered due to being able to heal the active character based on their DEF during burst. This is useful if you plan to use him as a solo healer. Crit Rate circlet and substats can be considered when Gorou is using Favonius Warbow to trigger the passive comfortably. ER% substats are usually more important than getting the right mainstat, as Gorou's damage contribution to a team is negligible, while being able to get Energy for his Burst is a lot more important.
