When Kuki Shinobu was released in late Version 2, her underwhelming numbers and ostensible lack of any "meta" usability rendered her another 4 star character that players discarded as weak. Come Version 3.0 and the addition of Dendro and its reactions and Shinobu's playstyle was suspiciously convenient for achieving either Quicken or Hyperbloom. Today we're gonna discuss what happened to Kuki Shinobu in recent months!

@@imminentfailure7484 boosted her quite a lot. I'm kinda surprised her team can actually whittle down the hp of maguu kenki to zero in just 60 seconds. My usual record was 1.5 minutes and that is using my mono geo and my Eula physical team in spiral abyss. She is the cheapest and fastest to build by far compared to all the dps characters I built. Raiden and Xiangling together took 2 patches for me to complete their build. Eula took me 3 to 4 months. My longest to record was Diluc which took a year because crimson domain was hard as f$!k to farm. Kuki only took me 2 days to ascend her to 90 and a week to fully finish her artifacts.

@@Fabio-ql5yf compared on getting triple EM on Viridescent, it is relatively fast. I played since 1.0 and so far I only have 2 EM pieces (goblet and sands) on VV set till now (and it is shared by Jean, Venti Sucrose). While sumeru was released just months ago and I already have 6 EM main stats on gilded set (2 each piece) and 3 EM main stat on deepwood for Nahida (I already have 2 triple EM build for Thoma and Kuki). I don't know why but I feel like the RNG on each set is kinda different. I literally have multiple anemo dmg bonus with double crit and circlet to boot on VV that are really suited for Xiao but no EM main stat. In comparison, EM main stat is raining on my dendro pieces while crit sub stats are none existent. So now my Tighnari is still rocking a 4pc wanderer's bcuz every sub stat on my gilded or dream wood are shit.

@joengi Год назад

One main difference between zhongli and kokomi initially is the interruption mechanic. Shielding will generally be superior to healing as your character will not be affecting by flinching or other forms of interruption(bar freezing). Additionally zhongli's shield follows the player and does not restrict you to playing in one spot, making the overall player experience a lot more comfortable.

@frequent_blue2071 Год назад

kokomis aoe off field hydro application and access to ttds is another main difference.

When she first released in 2.7 I was happy because she was a great Tenacity user and filled a role (electro healer) that no one had. Despite being apparent that her EM scaling was made with dendro in mind, everyone called me copium. I want to see their faces now

@Riyozsu Год назад

It's a 4 star. It's only matter if couple of versions when Mihoyo releases a 5 star that's clearly superior to kuki. Like a electro kazuha for dendro boost. And believe they will do anything to make dendro good because of its current weak state. Kuki will just become what has happened to sucrose now. Either way most of the community should have Raiden Shogun after her 2 most sold banners. Who in their right mind would choose kuki over Raiden in any case. Kuki is just a gorou for dendro. You really aren't getting any advantage leveling kuki.

@@Riyozsu dendro isn't in a weak state no matter how you look at it, Tighnari is god tier quick swap DPS if you have a good set, DMC is like the best version of the Traveler we ever got, plus you clearly have a misconception about the Kazuha vs Sucrose situation, Kazuha is not a direct upgrade of Sucrose in fact she is actually better in some situations, she gives EM, she enables a lot of comps and she is a catalyst, so her support is actually quite varied, getting more Dendro chars will only make it more OP than it is now

@dearikj90 Год назад

It's more than clear that Shinobu was purpose-made for Hyperbloom and simply released prior to the Dendro element. Hoyoverse continues to do this with characters like Childe and Kokomi before their dedicated artifact sets were added. Similarly, Thoma seems clearly made for Burgeon and for pairing with his boss Ayato. They release characters in advance of equipment or mechanics that will complete their niche. I'm expecting new artifacts to drop in the next update or two as well.

@KingJH0510 Год назад

thoma was a pure coincidence unlike shinobu, whose kit incentivises em builds, thomas does not thoma was very clearly made to be a hutao/yoimiya support, with them having pyro synergy, and thomas shields refreshing on normal attacks they could have had some idea of what they wanted to do with him and burgeon down the line but it clearly was not finalised yet, given dendro was still 10ish months away at the time

@dearikj90 Год назад

@@KingJH0510 I have to disagree. A lot of these characters are built over a very long time. It's even clear that Lisa was built at the start of the game with some idea of how they wanted Electro to work in the future given that she has EM as an ascension stat. Obviously Dendro wasn't complete all the way back then but it was being worked on. Even Ayaka was in a playable state as far back as the game's beta a year prior to her release. I'm betting Thoma was built around supporting Ayato given how both their kits work. He is clearly built solely for reactions and support despite his HP scaling, however. That's the usual justification for having such low base multipliers as seen with Shinobu.

@KingJH0510 Год назад

@@dearikj90 no matter how you slice it, whether its pyro applicant for ayato or burgeon, there is no world where its logical for them to give thoma atk as his his ascension stat and hp scaling for his shields its really as if they went back to the 1.0 days when every character had to deal damage

@dearikj90 Год назад

@@KingJH0510 I can't argue with his ascension stat being attack. That makes no sense whatsoever with his multipliers. That's just lazy 1.0 design when every 4 star was given attack ascension stats. 5 stars are the only ones with Crit stats.

Soup: Oz is the chicken, hydro is the broth, pyro the heat to cook it, and anemo is the stirring.

@darkadan1 Год назад

@@DRKLRD-kv4cm basically, depending from your em and level, it increases the base damage of your attack, then that is affected from bonus damage and crit, if the original attack can crit since you can agravate swirl As an example, imagine if you do 2 hits, one does the reaction and the other not, and imagine if you do like 100 damage, then the formula goes for the non reaction one like: 100 * (1 + bonus damage, 100% for example) = 200 * (crit, 200% for example) = 400 of damage Now for the agravate one: (100 + agravate added damage, 100 for example) * (1 + 100%) = 400 * 200% = 800 damage from agravate I'm not very good explaining things, so i hope you understand it.

@@Riyozsu Kuki is always going to have a spot as one of the best consistent Electro applicators in the game while healing too. She's solely held back by the fact that Electro is an element dominated by high damaging characters, leaving its reactions under-utilized.

I’ve been waiting for this kind of video. I’ve gone from being real iffy on her usability, getting ready to throw her at the bottom of my use stats w/ Thoma and Xinyan, to thinking she may be one of the best 4 stars to pop up since the original 1.0 4 stars appeared. Currently testing her w/ an EM build in a team with Albedo, Xinqiu and Collei/Dendro Traveler. And it’s fun as hell. Like w/ Kokomi, as the game builds up, it builds itself around her and makes her more diverse and usable w/ each patch. While Melt and Vape reactions are still king. Dendro reactions have made the game more diverse and fun. I only wish this had done the same to Yae Miko who is still OK, but not as good as C6 Fischl. And I thought Dendro would somehow really help Yae.

This didn't even mention Key of Khaj Nisut, it's a 5 star weapon and naturally a bit pricy as a result, but it blends perfectly with her kit and makes her even stronger, raising both her healing and DPS potential, between the dendro reactions and the introduction of this weapon, they're really bringing her into a spot where she comfortably sits I'd say around the same spot as Fischl, and that's no small feat.

@mapel6867 Год назад

@@frequent_blue2071 probably why it wasn't included, yeah. Figured it was worth mentioning, as it makes her significantly more effective than otherwise with dendro reactions.

fi you need 5* weapon and ungodly amount of resource to make Kuki as good as mid build Fischl, them Kuki is just crap

@frequent_blue2071 Год назад

@@masajus1 i mean if its the same as a mid build fischl and can heal, i think theres value in that. also means u can use fischl in other team.

@mapel6867 Год назад

@@masajus1 I definitely see where you're coming from there, Kuki definitely requires much more investment to be viable. But, a Kuki with a good build is likely on the same level as a good build on Fischl, less damage, but it's balanced out with Kuki's great utility. Fischl's definitely the better unit, her lows are higher than Kuki's, but their highs are about the same.

@Bat0541 Год назад

Honestly I sorta wish Barbara's skill functioned like Kuki's with the pulsating effect, would really make her far more useful then she is nowadays.

Shinobu (C4) is on my main team comp with C1 Raiden, C2 Kazuha and C5 Dendro MC. She is on a two piece Wanderers and Gilded Dreams elemental mastery set.

@oceanwolf4912 Год назад

I love using kuki as a personal healer for my cyno. I had survivability issues with my team of cyno, layla, dendro traveler and fischl as laylas shield duration does not match cynos burst duration. Shinobu basically replaced layla and fishl in my team and allowed me to put in yelan fo hydro application.

@mrkisukes Год назад

Something I've been doing is trying out team comps with off-meta characters like Lisa, who now does rather well when paired with dendro Traveler.

@jonomate Год назад

I saw the value of Kuki way early on. A healer whose healing follows you is already pretty dang good. That and for her to do a large aoe of electro application and she has EM passive further stacks to the electro reaction build. Hyperblom plays right into it beautifully.

@MeladiFae Год назад

I'm kinda curious what happened to Yae? I remember she also had an EM scaling somewhere but I don't have her and I never see her so idk

@chenchen6150 Год назад

Before dendro introduction she was more into demerit healer and electro aplication for other dps unit that is okayish since there is better electro support for the usual element reaction. Since dendro appear she pretty much usable for hypebloom team and a little taser depend on how consisten hydro application is and her EM scaling for healing is pretty much fit in with Dendro + she is not as rare and very expensive compared to Yae Miko that also have scaling with em for more burst dmg.

@Shft-T4b Год назад

My Kuki stacked with EM carried my f2p team from ~AR35 to AR 50 thanks to hyperbloom (combining her ring with dendro traveller and xingqui's respective bursts produces nutty results) and she was underleveled the whole time until I finally got to Inazuma around AR45 and could finally farm her ascension materials.

@PhoenixBlazer39 Год назад

I pulled Shinobu as one of my first characters when I started Genshin about two months back (tail end of Ganyu banner). Her healing alone was indispensable, being far quicker than Barbara's and having constant enough uptime to let me power through my exploration of Dragonspine without needing to care about the Sheer Cold, meaning I could just Skyrim up the sides. And now, having pulled Childe, she's a cornerstone of my Hyperbloom team (with Nahida and Yae). Only problem is that since I just finished the Liyue Archon Mission, all but Childe are stuck at level 40 for the time being.

@theianeia Год назад

I don't really pay attention to Shinobu at first but the release of dendro made me build her cause I thought at the time that hyperbloom looks pretty fun. Now she's one of my most used character in abyss. Safe to say that I have no regrets.

@TheGoob65 Год назад

I will say, one huge buff to Kokomi was the addition of Ocean-Hued Clam, which came after her release. It gave her a higher damage output via 4pc and also added to her healing bonus for scaling.

@wexx13216 Год назад

I'm very surprised to know that vars also play blue archive I agree with you that genshin needs to have different forms of challenge instead of just dps checks. Blue Archive has this upcoming gamemode "Joint exercise" where your characters only deal 1 damage. I find that kinda cool cause you have an incentive to use your unbuilt characters if they have multi-hits. I hope they make those kinds of creative gamemode and make them permanent(Cause Blue Archive will do it).

@zeroedits7582 Год назад

Her kit split scaled between hp and em then Dendroculus reactions scaling heavily of em , then she applies electro and doesn’t loose noticeable healing with em rather than hp

@ursmarrings27 Год назад

I'm surprised something like elemental "advantage" or something akin to Fire Emblem's Triangle system hasn't been implemented yet. Even if could come at odds at the free form style of elemental reactions, I'm sure miHoyoverse could take it as the next step after finishing Dendro.

Rock paper scissor type elemental systems are kind of boring. Though it does sort of exist in Genshin already. Some elements are better at shredding shields than others. Abyss mage Pyro shields are weakest to Hydro, Hydro shields are weakest to Dendro etc

@KingJH0510 Год назад

thoma came way before dendro was even conceptualised so he got the short end of the stick and had atk for his ascension stat for some whatever reason shinobu at least has hp which helps her healing and ult dmg, and has the a4 passive which incentivises em builds so right now thoma is very similar to diona, they have their niches and can do a decent job at it but were clearly not designed with it fully in mind (dionas ascension stat being cryo dmg and her c4 being useless)

@Friendfox Год назад

it's also worth noting that the way kuki applies electro is important - her ring is pure AoE - beidou's chain lightning specifically hits enemies not seeds, fischl's oz and yae miko's turrets prioritize enemies but can hit seeds, leaving only raiden with a true AoE attack - and her kit doesn't value EM builds - kuki being a dedicated trigger with role consolidation (healing) is her big value - in the right team, ONLY kuki hits the seeds
