Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu Best Build - Weapons, Artifacts, Team Composition

Kuki Shinobu is one of the Sub-DPS Support units in Genshin Impact that got introduced to the game with the version 2.7 update second half. You can obtain her by performing wishes on the current Oni's Royale banner or the permanent Wanderlust Invocation banner after version 2.7. 

Shinobu is a great Support unit as her kit allows her to heal characters or deal Elemental DMG even when she is not on-field. You can use her abilities in coordination with other characters' abilities to benefit from the Elemental Reactions game mechanic. 

In our Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu build guide, we do a breakdown of Kuki Shinobu's abilities and Constellations while sharing the best weapons and artifacts you need to attain different builds with her. We also share the best team composition for her. So, without any further ado, let us check out the best build for Kuki Shinobu in Genshin Impact. 

Genshin Impact Kuki Shinobu Ratings and Abilities 

Kuki Shinobu is a four-star Electro element user and a Sword wielder, best suited for the Electro Support role. While her abilities kit makes her a Healer Support—on-field, she doesn't provide party-wide healing, making her an okay-ish Healer. 

Kuki Shinobu's Elemental Skill, Sanctifying Ring, creates a Grass Ring of Sanctification at the cost of part of her HP, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents. 

Meanwhile, the Grass Ring of Sanctification follows your currently active character around, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents every 1.5s while restoring HP for the active party member(s) within the ring's AoE based on Kuki Shinobu's Max HP.

The Grass Ring of Sanctification effect does bring down Kuki Shinobu's HP by 20%. But, the individual character healing done by the ability is much higher, considering Shinobu only losses 20% of her HP. 

Talking about Kuki Shinobu's Elemental Burst, Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite. When players use this ability, Shinobu stabs an evil-excoriating blade into the ground, creating a field that cleanses the area of all that is foul, dealing continuous Electro DMG to opponents within its AoE based on her Max HP.

Moreover, if Shinobu's HP is less than or equal to 50% when players use her Elemental Burst, the said field will last longer.

Kuki Shinobu Constellations 

Here are all six Constellations for Kuki Shinobu that you can unlock using her Stella Fortuna. On the same note, you can get her Stella Fortuna by getting a copy of Kuki Shinobu by performing wishes on the Oni's Royale banner. Or the Wanderlust Invocation permanent banner, once Genshin Impact 2.7 update ends. 

• C1: To Cloister Compassion - Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite's AoE is increased by 50%.
• C2: To Forsake Fortune - Grass Ring of Sanctification's duration is increased by 3s.
• C3: To Sequester Sorrow - Increases the Level of Sanctifying Ring by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15.
• C4: To Sever Sealing - When the Normal, Charged or Plunging Attacks of the character affected by Shinobu's Grass Ring of Sanctification hit opponents, a Thundergrass Mark will land on the opponent's position and deal AoE Electro DMG based on 9.7% of Shinobu's Max HP. This effect can occur once every 5s.
• C5: To Cease Courtesies - Increase the Level of Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15.
• C6: To Ward Weakness - When Kuki Shinobu takes lethal DMG, this instance of DMG will not take her down. This effect will automatically trigger when her HP reaches 1 and will trigger once every 60s.
