Ability Tips

Kokomi’s Elemental Burst dynamically alters her skill’s damage, which means you cannot use her Burst to snapshot the buff onto the Skill and then swap out.

Gameplay Tips

Support Kokomi focuses on using her Elemental Burst before her Elemental Skill’s duration ends to refresh the skill duration. This ensures 100% uptime on Hydro application from her Elemental Skill, ideal for Freeze and Electro-charge teams.

When it comes to weapon choices:

• Hakushin Ring: This weapon provides Elemental DMG% for Electro-charged teams and prioritizes damage over healing.
• Sacrificial Fragments: Useful for smoother rotations as Kokomi won’t need to use her Elemental Burst to reset her skill duration. This prevents missing out on the reset for the Elemental Skill.

Regarding artifact sets:

• Tenacity of the Millelith (4): With proper extension of Kokomi’s Elemental Skill, she can maintain near 100% uptime on this artifact set’s 4-piece effect.
• Ocean-Hued Clam (4): This set assumes Kokomi is being used solely for her Elemental Skill. If she is being used to attack on-field during the Elemental Burst, this set may outperform Tenacity of the Millelith (4).

For main stats and substats:

• Energy Recharge: Prioritize Energy Recharge to ensure you can always use Elemental Burst before the Elemental Skill expires and maintain Hydro application. Without Prototype Amber, Kokomi will need around 200-220%+ Energy Recharge.

Ability Tips

Due to Kokomi’s high stamina cost on her Charged Attacks, her best attack strings are:

• At [C0]: N2D
• At [C1]: N3D
  N3D might result in a loss of Beidou Stormbreaker hits (DPS loss) and is only recommended in a Vaporize comp where the added Hydro application is favored.
  *NA = Normal Attack, D = Dash

Gameplay Tips

DPS Kokomi aims to maximize her on-field damage during her Elemental Burst’s duration. Outside of her Elemental Burst, her damage is lackluster and not worth building for.

When it comes to weapon choices:

• Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers: Although this weapon doesn’t provide as much personal damage for Kokomi, the 48% ATK buff is usually more valuable in most cases. It can be her best weapon for overall team DPS if you don’t already have another TTDS user in your team.
• Hakushin Ring: This weapon provides Elemental DMG% for Electro-charged teams and is usually the best choice in those situations.

Regarding artifact sets:

• Tenacity of the Millelith (4): Although this set offers the lowest personal damage for Kokomi, the 20% ATK team buff can sometimes be better for overall team DPS.

Conclusion

With the right build and gameplay strategies, Sangonomiya Kokomi can become a formidable force in Genshin Impact. Whether you prefer a support role or want to unleash her as a powerful DPS character, these builds will help you unleash her true potential.
