Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
There are many great 4-star characters inGenshin Impact. Unfortunately, many of their best kits are hidden behind their Constellations. For example,Bennett is completely usableat C0, but he needs his first Constellation to be able to function properly.
Luckily,Kuki Shinobudoesn’t really suffer from this problem. Of course, some of her Constellations can help her become a better support, but players can happily use her even at zero Constellation.

Are Kuki Shinobu’s Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?
For Kuki Shinobu to perform her best, players should aim for at least her secondGenshin ImpactConstellation. Her C4 is also decent if she’s included in a reaction team.
C1 - To Cloister Compassion
C1 Kuki Shinobu’s passive grants her a bigger AoE on her Elemental Burst. Considering that she operates as a healer and needs Elemental Mastery and Healing Bonus instead of Critical and Electro DMG, her first Constellation doesn’t really add anything to her kit.
Of course, likeanyGenshin Impactcharacter, players can build her as a DPS. However, since many other units can outperform her, it is best to keep her as a healer.
C2 - To Forsake Fortune
Kuki Shinobu’s secondConstellation inGenshin Impactallows her Elemental Skill to maintain 100% uptime. With it, Shinobu can endlessly heal and apply Electro off-field, making her a great healer and enabler.
C4 - To Sever Sealing
The damage bonus from this Constellation is rather negligible, but what makes it good is the fact thatthis effect has a separate Internal Cooldown for Elemental Reactions. So if players are building Kuki Shinobu on Elemental Mastery, they can trigger more Reactions, thus increasing her overall damage.
C6 - To Ward Weakness
The first part of Kuki Shinobu’s sixth Constellation is completely negligible. Shinobu won’t take any field time from her teammates, especially after unlocking her C2 passive, so having protection against lethal DMG is not really needed. Furthermore, she gets no invincible period from this Constellation. So if the enemy is attacking with a multi-hit attack, then Kuki will die immediately after this effect is triggered.
On the other hand, she gets 150 Elemental Mastery from the second part of her C6 effect. While to a certain pointElemental Mastery statshelp Kuki, it’s still not worth being the last Constellation she unlocks.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
