Hoyoverse has finally revealed Genshin Impact<\/a>\u2019s Kuki Shinobu. This four-star electro character has ties to the one and oni Genshin Impact\u2019s Itto<\/a> \u2013 for better or worse. She\u2019s best used in a support role and can perform some handy heals to keep your team alive. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve heard bits and pieces about the new Arataki gang member, Genshin Impact\u2019s Kuki Shinobu<\/strong>, and we\u2019re pretty smitten already. This kind, hardworking girl has a strong sense of responsibility and duty when it comes to the troublesome oni, and we can\u2019t wait to see what hijinks they get up to when she becomes a playable character. But when is Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu\u2019s release date<\/strong>? And who exactly is she? <\/p>\n

If you want more info on potential upcoming characters, check out our Genshin Impact leaks<\/a>, and Genshin Impact Scaramouche<\/a> and Genshin Impact Heizou<\/a> guides.

Genshin Impact\u2019s Kuki Shinobu<\/h2>\n

WHAT IS GENSHIN IMPACT KUKI SHINOBU\u2019S banner?<\/h2>\n

You can pick Kuki Shinobu up during phase two of update 2.7, alongside Itto in the Oni\u2019s Royale Genshin Impact banner<\/a>. The Oni\u2019s Royale banner starts on July 21, 2022, and also features Genshin Impact\u2019s Gorou<\/a> and Genshin Impact\u2019s Chongyun<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Who is Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu?<\/h2>\n

Kuki Shinobu is the deputy of the Arataki gang, and it\u2019s her job to keep Itto in line, covering for his antics and compensating for any damages he causes, as well as collecting him from jail whenever he gets in trouble. She studied law in Liyue shortly before Inazuma went into lockdown, though her parents wanted her to be a Shrine Maiden like her older sister Miyuki. <\/p>\n

What is Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu\u2019s weapon and best build?<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re still awaiting Kuki Shinobu\u2019s release date, so we\u2019ve not had the chance to test out her builds yet, but we do know that she\u2019s a four-star electro sword wielder, and her skills suggest that she excels in a sub-DPS\/healer hybrid role. <\/p>\n

What is the best Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu weapon?<\/h2>\n

As stated above, we\u2019ve not had the chance to test different weapons on Kuki Shinobu yet. However, when looking at her skills, we believe the following will be the best options. <\/p>\n

Freedom-sworn takes the top spot due to her healing scaling with her elemental mastery, and its skill still procking when she\u2019s not on field. Similarly, Iron Sting essentially works as an elemental mastery stat stick, though the skill likely won\u2019t be very valuable to her. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, Sacrificial Sword\u2019s energy recharge means Kuki will be able to use her burst more frequently, and the skill reset is always handy, especially as her skill field deals damage and therefore should be able to reset her skill even if she\u2019s not on the field. <\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Weapon<\/td>\nEffect (level one)<\/td>\nHow to get<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Freedom-Sworn<\/td>\nBonus stat: <\/strong>increases elemental mastery by 43
Skill: <\/strong>increases damage by 10%. When Kuki triggers elemental reactions, she gains a Sigil of Rebellion (once every 0.5 seconds). This triggers even if she isn\u2019t on the field. When she reaches two sigils, she consumes both to grant all nearby party members +20% attack and +16% normal, charged, and plunging attack damage for 12 seconds. Once triggered, she gains no sigils for 20 seconds. Buff of the same type don\u2019t stack<\/td>\n		Gacha<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Sacrificial Sword<\/td>\nBonus stat: <\/strong>increases energy recharge by 13.3%
Skill: <\/strong>after Kuki damages an opponent with her elemental skill, the skill has a 40% chance to end its own CD. This can occur once every 30 seconds<\/td>\n		Gacha<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Iron Sting<\/td>\nBonus stat: <\/strong>increases elemental mastery by 36
Skill: <\/strong>dealing elemental damage increases all of Kuki\u2019s damage by 6% for six seconds. This can occur once every second<\/td>\n		Forge via Blacksmith<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What are Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu\u2019s best aritfacts?<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re unsure which artifacts are best suited to Kuki Shinobu at the moment, but we we believe that Tenacity of the Millelith will work well with her kit as the heals from her skill will proc the buff, even when she\u2019s off-field. <\/p>\n

Alternatively, if you don\u2019t have another character on the team equipped with Noblesse Oblige we recommend giving that to Kuki, as its team-wide buff is invaluable but doesn\u2019t stack. <\/p>\n

When it comes to stats and sub-stats, we suggest aiming to increase her HP and elemental mastery. We\u2019ll be sure to update this section when we know more. <\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
Artifact set<\/td>\nEffect<\/td>\nHow to obtain<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Tenacity of the Millelith<\/td>\nTwo equipped: <\/strong>increases HP by 20%
Four equipped: <\/strong>when Kuki\u2019s 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. This effect can trigger once every 0.5 seconds, even when Kuki isn\u2019t on the field<\/td>\n		Ridge Watch Domain in Bishui Plain, Liyue<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Noblesse Oblige<\/td>\nTwo equipped: <\/strong>increases elemental burst damage by 20%
Four equipped: <\/strong>when Kuki uses her elemental burst, it increases all party members\u2019 attack by 20% for 12 seconds. This effect cannot stack<\/td>\n		From the Clear Pool and Mountain Cavern domain in Minlin, Liyue, or from the Noblesse Oblige artifact strongbox<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What are Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu\u2019s abilities?<\/h2>\n

From what we\u2019ve seen of Kuki\u2019s abilities, she appears to have the potential to offer some great DPS and electro application, while also healing herself and her teammates. Her skill relies on her sacrificing a portion of her health, and the duration of her burst extends if her HP is below 50%. Therefore, like Genshin Impact\u2019s Hu Tao, she benefits from not being healed to full HP. <\/p>\n

Active skills: <\/strong> <\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Skill<\/td>\nEffect<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Shinobu\u2019s Shadowsword (normal attack)<\/td>\nPerform up to four rapid strikes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Shinobu\u2019s Shadowsword (charged)<\/td>\nConsume stamina to unleash two rapid sword strikes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Sanctifying Ring (elemental skill)<\/td>\nKuki 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\u2019s AoE based on Kuki\u2019s max HP. The HP consumption from this skill can bring her HP no lower than 20%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite<\/td>\nKuki 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\u2019s max HP. If her HP is less than or equal to 50% when she uses this skill, the field lasts longer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Passive skills: <\/strong> <\/p>\n

What are Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu\u2019s constellations?<\/h2>\n

The following information is sourced from Honey Impact<\/a>. Hoyoverse hasn\u2019t officially released Kuki\u2019s constellations yet, and they are subject to change. <\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Constellation<\/td>\nEffect<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
To Cloister Compassion<\/td>\nIncreases Kariyama Rite\u2019s AoE by 50%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
To Forsake Fortune<\/td>\nIncreases Grass Ring of Sanctification\u2019s duration by three seconds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
To Sequester Sorrow<\/td>\nIncreases Sanctifying Ring\u2019s level by three<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
To Sever Sealing<\/td>\nIf the character with Kuki\u2019s Grass Ring active hits an enemy with a normal, plunging, or charged attack, they apply a Thundergrass Mark to said enemy. This deals electro AoE damage equal to 9.&% of Kuki\u2019s max HP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
To Cease Courtesies<\/td>\nIncreases Kariyama Rite\u2019s level by three<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
To Ward Weakness<\/td>\nWhen Kuki takes damage that would reduce her HP to 0, she won\u2019t be knocked out. This effect triggers when her HP reaches one and can only occur once every 60 seconds. When Kuki\u2019s HP drops below 25%, her elemental mastery increases by 150 for 15 seconds. This can also only occur once every 60 seconds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What are Kuki Shinobu\u2019s ascension materials?<\/h2>\n

In order to ascend Kuki, you need plenty of Spectral Husks from spectres, and Runic Fangs from the boss in the Genshin Impact Chasm<\/a>. <\/p>\n
