Which Kuki Shinobu build is the best?


Best weapon	Xiphos Moonlight
Weapon substitutes	Toukabou Shigure, The Dockhand’s Assistant
Best artifact set	Flower of Paradise Lost
Main stats	Sands – HP/Elemental mastery Goblet – HP/Elemental mastery Circlet – Healing bonus
Sub stats	HP, elemental mastery, attack

Since her passive healing ability is dependent on elemental mastery, the optimal Kuki build must have a high maximum HP stat since her Sanctifying Ring elemental skill scales off of this. Kuki Shinobu is an excellent support character that can swiftly heal your characters and provide lots of electricity to ignite elemental reactions.

She is greatly improved by any elemental mastery sword, but the Toukabou Shigure is particularly effective. Regarding artifacts, you want one that grants elemental mastery and two that provide HP bonuses. Given that she must prioritize two attributes, Kuki is really rather simple to create since there are a lot of possibilities available.

How can I use Kuki Shinobu from Genshin Impact?

The inclusion of the dendro aspect has really helped Kuki come into her own; she performs very well in a hyperbloom squad, contributing healing and responses left, right, and center.

If she is on your team, , all you have to do is use her elemental talent, and it will take care of the rest. Her talent is the key, although her burst may provide a powerful burst of reaction-based damage when needed. Because she can use her Sanctifying Ring to cure everyone in her immediate vicinity, she excels in cooperative realms as well.

Which Kuki Shinobu weapons are the best?

Kuki has several excellent weapon choices thanks to Sumeru: the four-star Moonlight of Xhiphos and the five-star Key of Khaj-Nisut both enhance elemental mastery, with the Key providing a significant HP boost.

Given that her healing scales with her elemental mastery and that her skill continues to grow even while she isn't on the field, Freedom-sworn is another excellent option. Likewise, Iron Sting functions as a stick for elemental mastery stats, even though she probably won't use the talent much.

However, Kuki can use her burst more often because to Sacrificial Sword's energy recharge, and the skill reset is always useful since it allows her to employ Sacrificial Sword's passive even when she isn't on the field because her skill field causes damage.

This effect can trigger every 15 seconds, even when Kuki is not on field.	Weapon banner

Which are the finest artifacts by Kuki Shinobu?

Kuki may now be a great healer and/or a facilitator of hyperbloom, which are her two primary functions. Increase her HP if you want the former, and focus on elemental mastery numbers if you want the latter. Of course, she can be both. She can quickly heal allies if she has enough HP (around 30k).

To really maximize her kit, her best chance is to grab two pieces: one that boosts her elemental mastery and another that gives her a bonus of either HP or healing.

Artifact set	Effect	How to obtain
Flower of Paradise Lost	Two equipped: Increases elemental mastery Four equipped: Kuki’s hyperbloom reaction damage is increased by 40%, and when the effect is triggered, another 25% bonus damage will be applied. Effects trigger even when Kuki is off-field.	City of Gold Domain
Gilded Dreams	Two equipped: Increases elemental mastery Four equipped: Within eight seconds of an elemental reaction being triggered, Kuki obtains buffs based on elements of other party members. Attack increases by 14% for other electro characters, and elemental mastery increases by 50 for each other element. Effects trigger even off-field.	Spire of Solitary Enlightenment Domain
Tenacity of the Millelith	Two equipped: Increases HP Four equipped: When Kuki’s elemental skill hits an opponent, increases the attack of all nearby party members by 20%, and increases their shield strength by 30% for 30 seconds.

What skills does Kuki Shinobu possess?

In addition to healing herself and her allies, Kuki has the ability to provide some excellent DPS and electrical application. Her ability requires her to give up some of her health, and if her HP drops below 50%, her burst lasts longer. Consequently, similar to Genshin Impact's Hu TaoShe gains from not being restored to full HP in .

If you get her skill level up, some reasonable HP, and elemental mastery on her artifacts, she should be able to live with only a few ticks of her own healing, so don't be alarmed if her HP bar goes to red.

Skills in action:

Skill	Effect
Normal attack: Shinobu’s Shadowsword	Normal: Perform up to four rapid strikes. Charged: Consume stamina to unleash two rapid sword strikes. Plunging: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Elemental skill: Sanctifying Ring	Kuki sacrifices a portion of her HP to create a Grass Ring of Sanctification, dealing electro damage to all nearby opponents. The Grass Ring of Sanctification follows your active character, dealing electro damage to nearby opponents every 1.5 seconds, and restoring HP for active characters within the ring’s AoE based on Kuki’s max HP. The HP consumption from this skill can bring her HP no lower than 20%.
Elemental burst: Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite	Kuki stabs an evil-excoriating blade into the ground, creating a field that cleanses the area of all that is foul, dealing continuous electro damage to opponents within its AoE based on Kuki’s max HP. If her HP is less than or equal to 50% when she uses this skill, the field lasts longer.

Skills in passivity:

Skill	Effect
Inazuma Expedition (unlocked at ascension one)	Gain more rewards when dispatched on an Inazuma Expedition for 20 hours.
Heart’s Repose (unlocked at ascension four)	The healing and damage from Kuki’s elemental skill increase with the level of her elemental mastery.
Break Free (unlocked automatically)	Kuki’s healing bonus increases when her HP is low.
