Kuki (Reaction support) | Build

Character Guide • Build: Kuki Shinobu | Update Date: 01/22/2023 | Editor: Sew#2409

• Best Weapon(s):

Xiphos' MoonlightFreedom-Sworn
Freedom Sworn The EM substat provides extra damage for her reactions. The passive helps boost her teams total damage.

Key of Khaj-Nsut HP% Passive increases Kuki's healing. 3 stacks are easily obtained at C4 due to it granting her an extra Skill proc. It is not recommended to prolong rotations to gain extra stacks at lower Constellations.

Xiphos' Moonlight EM substat which strengthens her Hyperbloom damage along with ER share to the whole team.

• Replacement Weapon(s):

Dark Iron SwordIron StingToukabou Shigure
Iron sting Easily obtained craftable weposn with EM substat but relatively useless passive. Refinements are not recommended due to the reason stated above.

Toukabou Shigure Works fundamentally the same as Iron Sting because they both have the same EM substat.

Dark Iron Sword Should only be use if the other options are not available. Gives lower EM than other weapons.

• Notes:

Despite the majority of Kuki's Electro application coming from her Skill it is still important to cast her Burst on cooldown to have more Electro application and extend rotations when necessary.

Kuki (Healer) | Build

Character Guide • Build: Kuki Shinobu | Update Date: 09/26/2022 | Editor: Sew#2409

• Best Weapon(s):

Key of Khaj-Nisut
Key of Khaj-Nisut The HP% substat and passive in addition to the Elemental Mastery scaling nature of the weapon make it the best weapon for a healer Kuki.

• Notes:

Kuki's Burst is not a priority for a healing build as it does not provide any utility unless she has a 4 piece Noblesse Oblige.

Kuki (Aggravate support) | Build

Character Guide • Build: Kuki Shinobu | Update Date: 02/28/2023 | Editor: Sew#2409

• Best Weapon(s):

Favonius SwordPrimordial Jade CutterKey of Khaj-Nisut
Primordial Jade Cutter The high Crit Rate substat and HP% passive makes it the best choice for Kuki's personal damage.

Favonius Sword Favonius' high ER negates the need to build any ER on Kuki and allows her to focus on more offensive stats while also helping the rest of the team with its clear particles.

Key of Khaj-Nisut HP% substat boosts Kuki's healing. The passive can not be activated on the first rotation but it's long duration means it can be procced in subsequent ones which would boost the teams EM greatly. Much more reliable with C4

• Replacement Weapon(s):

Dark Iron SwordLion's RoarIron StingFestering DesireToukabou ShigureFreedom-SwornMistsplitter ReforgedHaran Geppaku FutsuLight of Foliar Incision
Lion's Roar The ATK% isn't very useful for Kuki. However, the DMG% bonus is very valuable in teams that can have high uptime on it. The passive is not reliable with teams that have Nahida in them because of her high Dendro Application.

Festering Desire ER substat helps alleviate ER reqs and also boosts Skill DMG% with its passive.

Iron Sting Craftable sword with EM substat and DMG% passive make it a good option for Kuki.

Namecard style. "You know those Naku Weed rings they have in Inazuma? You know, the kind that can drive out evil? Shinobu got the idea that since wicked things won't cross their boundaries willingly, we could make them into items that could be actively used. Ah, her talent for being a shrine maiden truly is frightening..."

Arataki's Demonic Deputy

Stories

In the Arataki Gang, where swaggering commotion is something of an aesthetic, the ever-masked and low-key Kuki Shinobu, the gang's second-in-command, stands out all the more against the backdrop of the other, more clamorous members. No matter what sort of mess the others have gotten themselves into, this deputy is often able to solve their problems in a manner that is both professional and highly efficient. Making some snacks for children who had theirs snatched away, giving scratched lacquerware a new coat of paint, and serving as an advocate for detained comrades... Such are her skills that onlookers often wonder if there is anything that she cannot do. "I wouldn't say that I'm certified for everything. There are some industries that just don't have standardized assessments, so there's no way to sit for any such tests." Her displeasure finds eloquent expression even behind her mask. "Also, how can there be lines of work where you can find employment without the right qualifications? It boggles the mind." Equally mind-boggling, perhaps, is the fact that her deep puzzlement is just as contagious.
