Cover-Credits:
When Kuki Shinobu was first released in Genshin Impact, players were not too pleased with her kit but things changed after the release of Dendro. She is strong in Dendro teams and can serve you well with a full Elemental Mastery build. She works fairly well in Eula and Taser teams as well. Here is a rundown of all of Kuki Shinobu’s Talents, Constellations and Passives in Genshin Impact 3.6.
Genshin Impact 3.6 Kuki Shinobu: Should you pull?
Kuki Shinobu is worth having on your account if you want to play Aggravate and Hyperbloom teams. While Kuki might not be the best option available when it comes to building an Aggravate team, she is a go-to unit if you want access to healing. She dishes out a decent amount of damage and has almost full uptime on her skills. She also fits Eula teams quite well and can serve as a Superconduct enabler while also healing Eula as she focuses on dealing damage.
Unlike 5 stars, there is no guarantee that you will be able to snag a 4-star of your choice. There are instances of people spending over a hundred wishes and not getting the 4-star that they need so you should never pull for a low rarity unit unless you are okay with getting the featured 5-star or using up your pity.
Genshin Impact 3.6 Kuki Shinobu: Talents
Elemental Skill - Sanctifying Ring: Creates a Grass Ring of Sanctification at the cost of part of her HP, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents.
Grass Ring of Sanctification
Follows your current active character around. Deals Electro DMG to nearby opponents every 1.5s and restores HP for active character(s) within the ring's AoE based on Kuki Shinobu's Max HP. The HP consumption from using this skill can only bring her to 20% HP.
Elemental Burst - Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite: Stabs an evil-excoriating blade into the ground, creating a field that cleanses the area of all that is foul, dealing continuous Electro DMG to opponents within its AoE based on Shinobu's Max HP. If Shinobu's HP is less than or equal to 50% when this skill is used, the field will last longer.
