It's basically very consistent Diona-level healing + ToTM at the cost of stagger resistance due to no shield, poor energy efficiency as you can't funnel it, no EM buff, no multihits for easy fav procs (except for burst, but should not be using it in the first place) and no other utility of any kind.
For Kuki healer build should I use HP circlet or Healing circlet?
also her E gives you zero flexibility in terms of uptime because it lasts exactly as long as the cooldown
So she wants a refined sac for flexibility, but that's pretty contested weapon
healing circlet
There's a pinned sheet with numbers if you want more details
Ah just saw it, thanks!
if someone hasnt coined it already im calling the sucrose driver with kuki instead of fischl Sukukimon
why would u want refined sac? 3s of downtime doesnt seem like a big enough deal to where youd want to recast it with sac lol
so you can renew it early mid-rotation i assume
or not bother and just not have it 100% uptime 
it also matters less if you play quickswap teams like tazer and can just refresh the e whenever you want
So does Clam or Totm better on her?
ToTM by far but Clam will yield higher personal damage ig
You can check it by yourself on pinned sheet depends on what you need
From calc's I just did with her at super high-end healer build with L13 talents she wont be able to hit clam cap
so clam isnt worth imo
I did. I didn't understand + I'm on mobile so I want a more direct answer
Ok
I think she'll be a really good fischl replacement with healing + ToTM replacement + fav user in sucrose driver kind of like how Kokomi subs XQ which is actually really nice since Yelan makes it so u can have an xq on both teams
her healing is also really good for off-field. Her ratios are about = to Barb & Koko E's but ticks twice as fast as Koko's
her ult seems kinda pointless outside of being a really good fav proc
but tbh she seems actually really balanced imo. will prob be undervalued on launch like Koko but she opens up a lot of consolidation utility
first person i've seen in here that is actually positive about kuki 
a rarity for me too im typically a hateskipper but shes a 4* and also pretty unique as the first electro healer + cool ass animations + ratio
i do hope her cons get buffed but thats abt my only complaint
since all of them besides c2/c3 seem completely pointless
Artifact stats?
Crit/HP/HP with Fav lol
without fav just Healing/HP/HP or triple HP
her damage scaling seems way too abysmal to be worth investing
even with crazy investment her personal dps is inconsequential to a team so just building healer is better
i think having crit on subs would be better than main stat crit
imo no idrk why sac is even a consideration
since you are just aiming for crits anyway
ideally if u have more investment i can agree somewhat
Ok
but i dont think high investment is too much of a value leap of her to be worth it
also crit subs + crit mainstat still seems valuable until u reach 100 crit or enough ER to get her burst on rotation ig
why 100% crit?
if her burst comes every rotation then its fine as a fav proc even with low crit
i think 50% is fine
well im not saying aim for 100
im just saying crit doesnt fall off until 100
cuz it just increases fav value the more u have
50 should already be enough to proc it reliably so would rather have other stats
but its easier to focus on all hp or hp/hp/hb on her main stats and get cr on subs cause fav already gives 60 ER on secondary stat
Welp I have no other ER sword so....
crit is only 1/4 of the subs so u can have other
& its easier to shoot for a crit mainstat then cracked crit subs imo
Does an EM sword work in case I don't have Fav
up to u tho her arti stats really arent a big deal imo
but you dont need cracked crit subs
em doesnt scale that well but its fine if u only plan to have her at 60+
its around similar value to her hp investment at 60+
will skyrider sword be good if you don't have fav
but falls off the more u get above 60
2-3 rolls to crit is already enough to proc fav with Q
if going by all artifacts has 2-3 crit rolls, min or max rolls
you dont always want to be proc'ing with q imo tho
its enough to proc fav as her Q has 7 hits >50% and 12 hits on <50%
if possible id want to proc with initial E cast and switch out
Q just seems like a guarantee failsafe imo
at least how i plan to use it
thats fair
you could always try and add a AA on before E, falls to the frames possibly
true
i agree u dont need more than 50 crit but i just dont think its a bad thing is all
all u gain from another mainstat is more healing through hbonus or hp
so its up to what u value more
its not really, its just undervaluing the subs for it if going just for a pure healer build
r5 fav can just go from 35-40% cr since its 100%
im still suprised people still dont have fav
when some of the good banners have it
well weapons are rng
i have r9 fav sword and r1 fav lance
ive only pulled a lot on 1 weapon banner and that was kagura & i think most other peoples weaps are from event banners
is there actually any value to a not pure healer build tho?
i found one and that is in the form of mono electro
replacing sara jean with kuki kazuha
superconduct eula was a disaster to sheet
i havent touched overload yet
from brief calc's ive done it seems like her C4 proc can spike @ like 10k per 5s and maybe hit like 100k off her ult every 15s with crit variance and assuming the enemy takes every hit
ig i havent really looked into the EM damage scaling though
c4 is probably her stop cons since it adds dmg to her kit via her hp
i havent calced c4 to be in some sheets
id say c3 is her stop
since of course she is a new character and people would just go c0
it seems like such an insignificant amount of dmg every 5s
like the 10k calc I have is from a crit at l90 i did + rounded up
with 40k hp
its more reasonable that her c4 would hit 3-6k every 5s
which is like 1 rainsword from low investment xq lol
i think its more like fischl a4 but has a longer cd
- the way to proc it seems sus
probably eula can use it
ye i think it gives value if it has a different icd ig
her c6 and a4 needs a rework
but even there an extra reaction every 5s seems inconsequential
i just dont see the value in c4 as it is rn
if it was buffed to like 2-3s maybe
or the hp scaling of it ig
still wondering if raiden can proc it
like if it was 20% hp it would actually make her a decent subdps at high investment with c4
20%hp would be like half of an albedo E lol
but still usable at least
they need to up it more
definitely
i think her c0 is actually a fairly balanced unit
but her cons all seem eh besides c2
c2 is p big for the 100% uptime
her c0 is okay, as a healer of course
well i said it earlier but i think shell just be a comfort replacement to fischl in sucrose driver like how koko is a comfort replacement to xq in sucrose driver
her being electro + an amazing fav proc'er does give her more value as a battery to beidou or maybe even an XL in a suc comp too (compared to Koko's nonexistent battery value, ofc youre losing ttds buff value)
outside of suc driver shell just be another option for SC healer or EC healer ig and halfdecent battery with fav
wait, what's the icd of her ult?
just standard afaik
maybe the value of her c6 is supposed to come from a guaranteed like 4-5 reactions during her ult period if you have enough app of another element?
thats going to be hard if the icd is standard
still seems scuffed & not very good since it applies so much in conjunction with her E that it will prob just overtake
but i mean its something ig
yeah but her E and C4
should also proc 1 each
i think they should just change her c6 to an electro infusion
i dont really think it would be that good
but it would be hella fun lol
a shred would be cool just anything support related would be nice
c6 for a shred is balanced imo
wdym her c6 gives her like 120 extra hp healed thats support related
like if she triggers reaction, the two elements that caused the reaction will be shred for like idk 20% or something
that would be nice
honestly her current cons ideas overall arent that bad
if the scaling wasnt so nonexistent
c4/c6*
c4 is good procing c6 is impossible and even if you get it off the cooldown is so long
monday is coming, i am hoping a actual buff
more text changes 
c4 just has absolutely no meaningful impact in dmg because of how low it is + the timer on it and c6 doesnt matter because her EM scaling is too low to get value out of it
ig her c4 can have some niche value in certain teams tho ye
the base damage is low but extra electro application is good
eh its one extra proc every 5s and in sucrose driver that adds nothing because sucrose only needs one app of electro to start applying it herself
ye it's low but it's better than nothing 
although actually
her c4 does seem to have value if u run her xq/kuki/xl/suc driver specifically
since xl will cleanse the electro more frequently ?
or could potentially at least
it helps to stop that from happening
thats prob the team im gonna run her on since she can fav funnel xl + sucrose can comfortably run ttds and snapshot it onto xl
I'm curious about Kuki, does she work with Eula comps (Eula-fischl-rosaria-kuki)? If not what comps does she seem to work with?
she works, i say decent, on eula team
well there is no real reason why she won't work in a Eula team
in a eula team you mainly are doing superconduct reaction so kuki skill proc wont mess anything up less you have other elements on the field when it procs
So how’s Kuki looking for a flex in an Itto comp?
it won't be that much of a flex I'll tell u that

how dare you allude to the bad combination of arataki itto gang members?
bro shogin it'll be pretty much of a flex, believe me!!!!!!! arataki itto gang yooo!!!!
Okay so clearly the way to play kuki is this
Sayu - Kuki - Xinyan - Sucrose
or maybe sayu - kuki - xinyan - barbara
Kuki + Xinyan for orbital overloads while rolling around, sucrose for EM buff and VV so you can run 4p clam on sayu
if not running sucrose, you can maybe sometimes vapeload/overvape/EC+pyrowhatever with barbs
with barbs you obvs wanna roll with hydro infused (if that is even manageable cuz of the pyro aura from xinyan), and I guess you mostly get vapes instead of EC+vape, but yea testing required
sayu-kuki-xinyan-xl probably also works if u run fav on sayu
was thinking about shinobu's energy generation and then had a flash of intelligence
shinobu is meant to be up close and personal like eula
so if you're
playing her like a sane person would
you're surrounded by enemies, each with a 45% chance to proc a particle
you have a lesser chance of not generating a particle than generating a particle
me when i learn how the game works
Has anyone tested whether or not haran or mistsplitter is better on Kuki?
I’d wanna know if the crit damage for mist splitter is more ideal than haran’s passive for a physical kuki
In no circumstance at all is it good to build for Kuki's damage unless you really want to go for phys
And if you want to go for phys, I guess you go aquila regardless
I really wanna build her for physical lol
I know she’s supposed to be bad, but I just wanna make her work
I'm not sure why you'd go haran or mistsplitter because those give elemental dmg%
As a crit statstick, sure.. But if you're comparing 5*s wouldnt the aquila simply win
I’m asking because I’m just wondering whether or not to pull on haran or mistsplitter
Only really pull on mistsplitter if you got enough to go for 3x pity
because unforged is garbo
I want mistsplitter but seeing as the next weapon banner is less ideal for me if I lose, then you know
pulling haran is dece because elegy is quite good also
Ye, that’s what I’m thinking
I was thinking about using whatever weapon I pull for ayaka and kuki
Sure mistsplitter is good but also the unforged is entirely useless
I saw some damage showcases with ayaka and haran and they weren’t bad, so I was thinking eh, why not
So only really consider it if you got 33k primos/genesis
i am doubting myself now so can anyone confirm or deny it
How’s kuki ?
Really kind of bad. She really only provides heals
As full EM atleast she heals AND can do some reaction damage, but otherwise she's shit
Her dmg is super low so it's not worth going like hp/elec/crit or whatever
I don’t think it works like that, as far as I’m aware, every skill use can only proc one particle gen per tick. For example, if you hit multiple enemies wit Xingqui’s E, it’ll generate the same amount as if you hit only one enemy 
isnt she good in dugtrio for heal+crystallize+TOM
fucks dugtrio
:/
No I mean wtf is dugtrio
About as useful as barbara kekw
i feel like there's a difference there considering xingqiu has a 100% chance to generate particles, compared to shinobu who only has a chance to generate a particle
if not worse
Triple geo core of Itto albedo Gorou
shield strength and basically a permanent noblesse buff
A dugtrio is a 3 headed ground type Pokémon
I think it’s the same principle, I’d have to check later myself though
I really don't see why though. You'll still need someone to actually build EM cuz they are the ones proccing crystallize.. Sure you get heals and have permanent ToM
but also gorou + zhongli is enough heal and shield
You shouldn’t really need EM
Itto runs a lot of defense which makes shields tankier
well for me i dont even have zhongli so
If you want crystallize to actually work..
On top of geo resonance and ToTM making shields tankier
And if you want to make them even stronger albedo buffs EM by 125 himself already
ur running geo resonance, permanant crystallize gen, shield strength, and full def team
^^^
alongside albedos em buff
And you have an abundance of the shields
even if the shields are mediocre you have amazing uptime anyways
You will be replacing them with new ones constantly
ig you get a new shield every time kuki's icd refreshes yea
kuki isnt exactly super versatile but she fits her niche well
Sure ig she's not bad if you dont have zl
she also benefits gorou
the only nice I see for her is another orbital for sayu
Even faster than that cuz geo doesn’t remove entire electro aura so you’re gonna get multiple crystals per electro applicaton
sayu - kuki - xinyan orbital overload dream team
because he needs crystallize procs for his uptime to be present for ittos burst duration
does xinyans shield deal pyro from offield?
Yea
i forgot what exactly it was
huh
for some reason i thought it was just a def shield
it's an orbital fire dmg proccing shield
Yes
Every 2 seconds
No icd
So not like thoma's, thoma is conic not orbital
o
Xinyan shield also uses defense so Gorou makes it stronger
ic
An overload team of Sayu Xinyan Kuki does sound cool
If only Kuki applied electro faster
4th slot allows for super spicy picks
either sucrose, so sayu can run clam.. Xiangling if you run fav on sayu.. Barbara for maybe getting EC+Pyro reactions
Barbara applies electro like once every 5 seconds tho
You roll infuse hydro
I mean hydro
It doesn’t prioritize pyro?
is sayus healing good enough for that
alrighty
Sayu has the biggest heals of all supports
So if kokomi can do it, sayu does it even better
rlly?
Oh
Sayu - kuki - xinyan
We tryna make something with Sayu Kuki Xinyan work
orbital stonkage
Yes actually. It's not hard to get 6k heals per Q proc
My concern with this idea is kukis abysmal electro application
well if its aoe sayu can potentially keep electro up through swirls
but she'll absorb pyro with her skill
if she's rolling
with xinyan shield
and that will overload and kill the electro
Yeah won’t the roll absorb pyro from Xinyan
It will, but swirl might keep electro cycling around
could you be running raiden so u have a better hope of getting electros off 
I don’t think that’s possible
Xinyan is already applying pyro every 2 seconds
well it's possible but it's not something I'd like to calc
On top of sayu rolling
sayu is every 1.5s if she hits every roll
Yeah I don’t think it’s possible for electro aura to survive that
With Kuki being every 3 seconds…
They really need to remove Kukis icd
fr
together no ICD kuki and fischl
would probably be OK
maybe
or lisa
in aoe with c4
I was thinking lisa as well yeah
Don’t we need things that move with Sayu tho
Lisa's Q is huge enough
circle impact: rolling edition

it's overload though so anything smaller than a ruin guard
However overload be overload
is flying to kingdom come
What would be nice is if Kuki at least applied self electro
So she could guarantee Kazuha and Sayu electro infusion
Yeah you could get some sunfire-but-its-electro TC

Why does Raiden have ToM in this sheet ? Wouldn't it be better on Kuki ? And put EoSF on the mighty Shogun ?

I'm more curious how they got kuki in zakharov's ER calculator
@small turtle Doesn't this rotation only work once because you're not running sac on kuki? Since you're assuming the rotation time is 26 and not 30
is this real or did you get scarlet rot from the blade of miquella
It must've been the dragonrot because sekiro>elden ring
Sucrose is not enough of a grouper for overload. Her pulls are very light. Kazuha with sac sword and/or C1 is the best.
And problem with Xinyan is the shield is very weak, even if build her defense. She needs tons of ER as well and does no dmg. Xiangling is better.
for off-field OL maybe but sucrose is fine as an OL grouper if she's on-field driving
Then you haven't seen a kazuha in overload team. No one can escape
Sucrose can't pull the mobs as tight as him. Versus the vishap she might even push them away instead of grouping.
https://youtu.be/UKNgsyYe6ss . Level 0 artifacts so mobs won't die too fast.
Taken from my level 0 artifact attempts.
I have no problem with smaller mobs even if I play Lisa as overloader. Sometimes they still fly out of Lisa's ult but small mobs are weak so they often die before they had a chance to escape. I have high hope for Kuki since the E is not fixed in one place like Lisa and doesn't require energy. But the ICD on her is bad. The C4 might save her though, if it can add 3 more overloads per rotation.
Oh wait rots not update currently

I edited it
Raiden takes 10 seconds on field, same goes for eula
reason being is that totm provides team that can assist both eula and raiden
Do beta testers get to send feedback to mhy
because we need the power to buff kuki

just buff her cons :>
quick maffs but Kuki should actually add more consistent damage to Sucrose Ketchum w/ Xiang outside of 1 rotation even factoring in TTDS because of ult uptimes. XQ (SS)+Kuki (FAV)+Xiangling+Sucrose needs significantly less ER on Xiangling than Fischl+Koko+Xiangling+Sucrose because XQ can funnel his 2nd E into another unit and still not have ER problems because of how much u get from off-field same element energy. Assuming 180% ER on Xiangling, it lowers her burst cost by 20energy if you funnel fav and sac into xiang. She should gen around 25ish energy for herself & depending on fav refine you can get around 20extra energy per rotation onto xiangling so you can run a relatively low ER Xiang in SuKukimon versus SuKokomon which requires fav users that dont proc it as well as Kuki and also want to run other weapons
also Sucrose can still run TTDS so you still get the TTDS buff
but idk if it's worth the EM loss from sac frags since Sucrose reactions are a good chunk of Sucrose Ketchum damage
with R5 fav Kuki can also funnel multiple units in this team since u can start rot with Kuki E into XQ QE2>Xiang QE>Sucrose>Kuki Q>Xiang>Sucrose
so shes funnelling xq and Xiang at the same time with no downsides
Has anyone with beta tested Kuki + Sucrose ult infusion? I know Sucrose ult infuses kinda weird but I feel like Kuki Q might make infusion easier for reactions
granted Electro isnt really the ideal infusion but if its more consistent with kuki thats still a positive
well actually i think it would be ideal in SuKukimon so if its consistent its huge
since electro is the only one that guarantees only transfo reactions from suc
since u dont want to accidentally be triggering vapes or smthn off of suc & an electro ult on sucrose should actually add a decent amt of dps if shes the one triggering the rxn
I'm so sorry but this is so many words
I bolded the only thing i care if people see for u
if u have the answer thats huge
Because from my understanding, attacks on the butterfly from suc ult itself will infuse it right?
if you kuki Q into Sucrose Q
it should guarantee an electro sucrose ult
ill test it in a bit with amber ult since its similar
it did not work
so rip that
but from testing i did vs enemies amber ult > sucrose ult always gave me pyro infused ult
but thats just cuz they have pyro on them
Aside from well aimed pyro, electro, and hydro charged arrows, you can't absorb attacks. It must be from an aura on an enemy, character, or object
Typical absorption priority is pyro > hydro > electro > cryo
If either pyro or hydro exist in sucrose's range while attempting to absorb electro, the pyro (highest priority) or hydro aura will always be absorbed over electro.. so Kuki won't really make things easier than Fischl in that regard
well maybe with c1 if you let it hit for a bit ?
since its aoe is larger
it should increase the odds at least a bit over fischl
If Kuki's burst manages to cleanse the number soup and keep a window of electro open just long enough for sucrose to throw her baby hypostasis at, maaaaybe
But there has to be no pyro or hydro at all within range of sucrose's burst
tbf i dont think what sucrose ult infuses with is that big of a deal
Xinyan's self pyro comes and goes.. so if Sayu doesnt immediately switch and roll, she can miss the first Pyro aura. The only problem is if you have lv 3 shield and you get pyro off whatever enemies the shield hits
besides pyro ig but thats easy to avoid with xiang
since u make sure u sucrose ult before or after xiang rot
will sucrose still prio hydro if they have EC on them?
If you had use this team for overload then last slot has to be lisa
Yeah hydro will get priority between the two auras
but circle impact 
just go full em guys, stop the copium 
i feel like EM kuki isnt really even that worth tho
Last slot xiangling and let kuki be the one to trigger.
And switch xinyan for bennett.. but ig we're trying to make xinyan work?
you want pyro aura in an overload team. For VV to shred pyro
no i think the meme is using all "circle" chars idk
why need bennett? Still function well without bennett. A bit lower dmg though
Just to battery xiangling
xinyan might want a sac greatsword
like kuki circle, xinyan shield, sayu roll
i dont think op was serious with that team lol
at least i hope not
The Benny buff is nice on Sayu and Xiangling too
yeahh, but without benny it's ok too. That's why I hope MHY release another pyro sub dps soon
yoimiya ult 
Are there any other pyro characters that can be a good battery?
Xinyan is 2nd after benny
If they make a sac spear then thoma could
Oh...
Thoma is nice
Too bad Thoma doesn't work at all with sayu
Can't even absorb his Pyro aura :‹
If Xinyan is 2nd best and you can already use her for pyro absorption and shield.. can't think of a reason not to use her if not benny
Thoma shield is pretty thicc with high invest
it's = to pre 1.3 buffs ZL if you normal at least twice with Thoma ult
actually xinyan don't need that much shield hmm. Already have 2 healers there
and xiangling take care of the pyro aura
Would really just be for battery.. feels kinda bad
you can build her phys and spin a bit.
I feel like for Sayu roll you could run Fav Kuki to help battery Xiang, Sayu, Xiang, Thoma OR you could go for double geo Gorou + Albedo with Sara
since Gorou ult should be hitting shit while you roll
and albedo should proc off it too + give u shields
this is quite nice idea
granted it wouldnt be reaction dmg and youd have to build cv raw roll dmg lol
The problem with a double geo sayu team is that there isn't a whole lot of damage to buff esp if your fourth slot is kuki
Yeah just give everyone fav and send it lol
if you have c4 fei she could work too
basically whatever shielder u have built with fav + XL + albedo + sayu could actually be good
sayu xiangling flex flex is a legitimate sayu strategy
What is kuki best build
Tenacity of the Millileth and Fav Sword
with kuki for flex?
we rolling they be flying
if totm but for em becomes thing I could see Suc Kuki Fischl XQ being a very decent comp. instructors doesnt count
Beidou steals like half of the electrocharge procs
*Instead of either Sucrose or Kuki. But if a character has to compensate for anything then that's a sign of anti synergy
Terrapin found that if your Beidou wasn't very invested, bringing her to taser could actually lose you damage
And you gonna need to invest even harder if Fischl isn't there to battery her
Kuki with fav isnt that far behind fischl for beidou battery tho
Solves nothing regarding the stolen procs tanking sucrose damage
yeah but kuki isnt that far behind in terms of batterying beidou is all
Don't get me wrong, it will work
I just think it's a very inefficient use of Beidou
EC trigger is determine by the last aura applied before the EC timer ticks
So what normally happens without Beidou is that Sucrose spreads both the electro and the hydro aura with swirl
(in AoE)
So she procs mosts of the EC herself, and with VV and her all EM is a bunch of damage
But Beidou burst applies a ton of electro in AoE because it deals so many hits
So she can apply electro last and steal the proc from Sucrose
I tried 2 different taser teams, Xingqiu Fischl Sucrose Beidou and Xingqiu Fischl Sucrose Sayu. The sayu variant is much more comfortable to run and only slightly lower in dmg.
Another problem with Beidou is that if I swap around a lot, I won't be attacking much to proc the lightnings. Average just 8 times per rotation.
Regarding Beidou comps, maybe in biased because my Beidou is mega stacked, but I usually play her with Bennett for 20k+ bounces.
yeah she needs to be able to compensate for the weaker EC tick with self damage
I also play her in Taser because my Sucrose has 4* artifacts and I refuse to farm VV, so losing EC isn't that much of a deal for me personally
hence hyperinvest
beidou's damage is kinda overrated in most cases though since she requires a pretty specific scenario to get the sheet damage most people have her at
Childe comps will work, Kokomi too. None of those build EM so who triggers EC in those comps doesnt matter.
To use beidou to the fullest would require a benny
Yeah but when the sheet impact hits just right... omg
it feels so good
She has my best emblem artifacts, 6 months of farming and I regret nothing
kuki can probably handle tenacity but fischl doesnt hurt to take it either
since its a pain to constantly swap
does alley flash work off field?
I'm 99.9% sure if the buff is up when they swap off idk if itll activate the buff live while theyre off though
does it increase your char's stats in char screen if you have it equipped on sub
having more dmg on fischl is better unless you are running a hypercarry like Eula
Kuki on the other doesn't have much dmg herself plus the 20% hp is good for her kit so ToM is more suited for her
Is her bis pjc or freedomsworn
Kuki cutter
👀
Fischl only likes ToTM cuz theres no good set for her atm cuz gambler is 4*
As soon as a set comes out that is good on Fischl, ToTM wont be as worth on her but TotM will always be good on Kuki cuz its built into her kit to work for her lol
Shes designed to be a ToTM buffer while Fischl is just one by virtue of no arti set really benefitting her damage enough for anything else to be worth
One r5 cutter for Kuki and another one for Qiqi.
dunno why you'd want jade cutter on an EMspammer
other than to flex your bux
too many jade cutters etc
I dont feel like shes designed to be a ToM buffer
I just think that is the only thing she has going for her because she’s dysfunctional AF
a warm body to hold ToM isnt a good slot justification Imo
dendro reactions will buff kuki + yae 
Then make an insane one 
They just need to give her res shred or something to that nature
Some utility besides healing
Because spamming em lame 
man, Kuki is really sad 
yep
Why is she sad? Did Itto go to jail again?
she feels like another "Kokomi" issue .. her ES is ok enuf to enable ToTM + healing + electro applying (i guess) while her Q not really adding much to her
if only that Q was doing something extra
other then dmg

it IS doing something extra: ||wasting time||

she wouldnt be sad by that
just disappointed
I feel like she could be saved by a sword that is basically ToM with a max HP substat
Imagine if 4* got signature weapons
Nah, not enough uptime

The inazuma craftable catalyst exists, so maybe it's not impossible
well pog it all .. mihoyo simply hates Inazuma's 4* 
Gorou is only usefull one nd thats just for 2-3 charas nd hell they all want to be in the same team anyways so he is still gated to 1 team 
I don't think Gorou is only useful 4* from Inazuma... Sara and Sayu are good also
I think Thoma and Kuki are weaker only
Thoma basically belongs in a different game imho
Shield is very solid, but there's no content for it
"I need a fire shield" said no one ever in this game
shielding itself just isnt enough utility and thats all he does
his shield is literally almost exactly the same strength with similar investment to ZL pre 1.3 buff
i.e. same reason ZL wasn't good before his buffs lol
also ZL's shield now being 1.5x stronger than what it was pre buff just makes it indestructible
it's weird that they chose to make thoma give like 0 utility and also make his shield just strong enough like old ZL was and not unbreakable especially with its ER req
when/if sac spear drops hell be able to battery and not need any extra er investment tho which will be nice QoL to him
Yeah, because she's in Honkai too iirc
also dspine spear might technically be considered a sig weap of rosaria ?
even tho its worse than crescent pike lol
she was released alongside it and all her pv's and stuff she was shown with it
That doesn't seem right, it should be around the same strength as current shieldbot Zhongli with 9-10 stacks
Zhong li (pre 1.3): 40,000 hp he will (T10) shield between 11928 and 14910 depending on his ascension proc (40,000(.2304)+2712)(1.25) Thoma: 35,000 hp will (T10) shield between 6061 and 20626 35,000(.1296)+1525= ; (35,000(.3528)+4153)(1.25) Thoma seems to have more variability, so a fair, realistic estimate of his shielding at T10 C0 with 35k hp is: ((35,000(.1296)+1525) + (35,000(.0206)+242)(3))1.15= 10,292 --calculation based on you using your auto attack only 3x during his ult if you use NA 5x then it's 13,595 SO, 40kHP Zhong li's range is 11928 - 14910 T10, C0 (pre 1.3 buffs) 35kHP Thoma's realistic range is 10,292 - 13,595 T10, C0 They're EXTREMELY comparable and Thoma's upper range is much more easily achievable than old ZL's PLUS ZL had no interruption resistance casting your shield so it was much less consistent to get off than thoma. (C3+ also edges in Thoma's favor more, but I didn't want to calc C0 AND C3 lol) Was ZL Overbuffed? Yes. Does that mean he was good pre-buff? No.
not by any means saying thoma is good but I also dont think pre buff ZL was good
just that thoma's shield is similar mathematical value
it can be higher tho just by a realistic estimate imo
im not sure where the kuki shinobu hate is coming from tbh
other than hurr electro
she has a pretty good kit apart from not having a partywide heal
no energy gate so dont need to build ER
scales off EM so can get heals while also enabling electro reactions
good uptime and range on her electro app unlike barbara/qiqi
like obv if you dont need an electro then she's not that useful but thats a comps issue and not the character
if she had the exact same kit but was anemo or hydro you'd never heard the end of how op she was
Pretty good kit??? Her burst is a waste of time since it doesn't do anything other than really bad DPS, her E's particle generation is the second worst of all electros (only better than Lisa)..
Really all she does is heal and that's it. She's basically an electro barbara but without TTDS
That doesn't excuse that it's a bad burst
If she was anemo she'd have VV, if she'd be hydro she'd still be p bad because of the low element application bc ICD
tankfei >>>> thoma
her burst is a guaranteed fav proc
I don't think 60 cost burst with low particles just for favonius proc and small damage can be thought of as good

i dont think her burst is that good
but its not useless
also if your running fav then the burst cost doesnt rly matter
I think it is considered DPS loss similar to Zhongli and Albedo sometimes ?
It is hard to find use for her after doing tc
Zhongli is less DPS loss bc zhongli adds defense stripping
replacement to fischl in sucrose driver like how koko replaces xq
dps loss but you gain healing and ToTM buffing + fav
SuKukimon
arguably better than SuKokomon for its original comp that uses xiangling and not beidou
since she can battery xiang with fav better than koko can
Yes it is comfort taser option but I think we found she is worse option comparing to other comfort taser like Kokomi and Qiqi already
Team you say for Sukokomon with Kuki is Sucrose Fischl Kuki Xiangling ?
It will not be able to have overvape reaction
I can't see anyone except raiden replacing fischl in EC teams
Her a4 is too valuable
The core of ec isn't electro anemo hydro
Its fischl anemo hydro
well its like how no one took sayu seriously as a meta character until we realized ayato comps needed a VV healer
Sayus floor is higher off the rip because of vv utility
I dont really here much about sayu other than if u have jean u dont really need her
Which is understandable
Sayus kit at full cons isnt really dysfunctional because EM and attack covers her whole kit
I think the main thing people are upset about isnt even the split scaling as much as having a damage only burst that doesnt do damage. Her utility isnt really niche so much as it kinda doesnt really exist in her kit at all
Fav weapons and milleleth are things thats are independent of a characters kit
She'll be super useful when we get that one Dendro character that needs an electro healer for busted electro/dendro reaction 
I cant speak for everyone, but i dont hate kuki at all. I really want to like her, which is why i keep checking back on this thread to see if somebody sees something i havent that isnt purely cope
I like her too. I just hate her split scaling on E and would like that and everything em related changed 
They legit put some utility on her burst and she’s instantly much more interesting
But seriously please add em scaling on burst too or give more em on c6
So far the thing that makes the most sense to me is Eula team as a healer/SC bot
There was the Yae/Raiden/Kuki/Kazuha team
But like, why wouldn't you sub kokomi instead of kuki
I like Shinobu too and that's exactly why I want her to be a great character, her current state is causing everyone who likes her to be on copium hoping mihoyo will buff her
I still think there might be spot on kazuha + double hydro + kuki
You replace fischl with kuki not xq lol
So its kuki xq sucrose xiangling
Oh it seems like an okay team then. It seem like it is not so necessary , only switch Kuki with Bennett to have stronger national team already. Unless it needs Bennett on other team I don't know why to use it
I disgree with swapping fischl being okay, Fischl is core to pretty much all Electro based reaction teams because A4 and kuki can't match it removelte close.
XQ can be replaced, his primary job is to apply hydro which kokomi can fill to a lesser extend, sucrose can be replaced, primary job is to swirl which othercharcters can do. But fischl's electro application is unrivaled
the only thing kuki does right is enabling mono electro
well yeah
in conclusion kuki is useless

....RIGHT?
c
buffs tomorrow and she will be top meta
The Tsaritsa would totally love it if we were in the fatui with how delusional we're being
Let's just pray she gets more hits on burst or something 
im trying ayato taser with solo non-c6 fischl and im not getting enough electro app
would need kuki for it probs
with c6 its probably a different story but who has c6 lol
other than whales
when was the last time fish was even rate up
her holy mother is proud of u comrade .. keep up the hard work 
yae

LMAO 
What if they extend kuki burst duration but keep the dmg the same?
Actually nah, dmg buff is more needed 😔 just make it a nuke
what if there is incoming character that can turn healing into damage when on-field and kuki is cracked dedicated support and we just dont know it yet


Kuki Kokomi and Barb meta? 
Kuki's off-field healing is too shit for that
implying her onfield healing is any better
Not at all, both are by definition equally shit
normalize building kuki as a electro support instead of healer

that's still shit
They won't give her shred cause she was designed to be in Itto teams 
Shred def? Nah itto stronk so no need

Dawei will drink to that
Just give her a constellation that shreds the def of opponents hit by her burst 
Burst aoe should increase in the same cons 😔
looking back on my wishes of "I just need an electro healer",
I regret not saying "I just need an electro battery healer"
Wassup kuki kopers. I'm from the future and they changed her elemental skill scaling from atk to hp. POG!

Give me your delusion 
its not national though its sucrose driver
soon :
"they nerfed Kuki .. decided that she was way too strong to be released to game nd they couldnt have it .. so now her Q scales from healing bonus nd her EM passive changed into flat dmg bonus scaled from Def "

that would help the Cinnabar Spindle build 
a char that scaled off hp AND DEF would actually be based tho
i say this a lot but mhy really needs to make it so all chars just deal their element's damage with their NA by default
would make a lot more chars viable for memebuilds
they just need to make a chongyun for every element
imagine 4tf electrozuha
imagine a dendro chongyun 
Nah, Chongyun just should have been anemo and provide infusion of a swirled element
don't u think that's asking for a lot
Why though? Imo it wouldn't make him super imbalanced.
-
Chongyun doesn't have powerful support options in his kit so you'd still pick someone more valuable like Sara/Kazuha/Bennett etc.
-
I cannot imagine how most carries can benefit from Chongyun therefore he won't ruin the balance. Hu Tao, Diluc, Keqing, Ayaka and Ayato have self-infusion and you still need downtime to rotate through supports. There is no sense in making a permanent dps window for them.
On the other hand, he would open up mdps playstyle for some burst supports like Xingqiu or Kuki
Opinions on Kuki?
Good in SuKukimon, bad cons, overall mediocre healing unit
+low budget & low floor
+decent healer and electro applicator
-cons do absolutely nothing
-she does 0damage
-her burst only has purpose if you need a guarantee fav proc
Seems kinda….

Inazuma 4 stars remains too situational

possibly yeah
seems highly inefficient because of less electro application and needing to be in range
but it's my feelscrafting
It seems a little cope tbh-
Cause Fischl a4 helps with dmg too
And kuki’s heal goes unappreciated bc kokomi is healing so much anyway
That really says something about Shinobu’s healing huh? 
Using her for electro app sounds very cope when she applied electro once every 3 seconds

Not all of them :›
if they buff kuki tag me
As long as you kneecap kuki's HP and keep her health above 50% yeah.. otherwise Kuki's healing is just about average
expect 0 pings until 2.7 😔
honestly im surprised genshin servers are even still up
electro app for EC doesnt need a lot especially in Sucrose teams
because it has a cd on how often u can trigger EC anyways
and sucrose can reapply the electro herself through swirl if theres more than 2 enemies
Shinobu hasn’t gotten an update yet because they’re reworking so much of her kit trust 
stop it you gonna hurt yourself
Do you perhaps have a good sucrose team with cookie in mind? 
5 hours till buffs
4 hours until barely noticeable splash art changes 
4 hours until burst tooltip gets a buff to show 13 hits instead of 12
4 hours for sfx update
4 hours untill ubatcha posts "beta has ended nd any chages if there are any will be in preload"

Nd when preload comes uba agen:
"No changes over kuki nd yelan"


Nothing happened kekw

Next change... Kuki got deleted from the game
latur
man, the way they made a big deal about her being feared by Itto and respected by Sara, smh
feels like they just don't care what 4*s(and Itto) say
lore has not much to do with in game power
i mean klee is okay
but lorewise she blew the mountains and changed the landscapes
how much time left for the update
Cookie buff in an hour 
be ready chat for a sfx update

chat ping me for buffs
yelan got hers
can't wait for another yelan buff 😭
where kuki changes 
in 10 minute probably
at the end it will come to this


come on folks ... we all knew if a chara doesnt recieve any love in first 1-2 week it wont recieve anything afterwards as well
ohh sorry .. wording changes still happens right

nd all the damn thing happened for Kuki was all wording changes anyways

but look at it in the bright side
no changes means .. Kuki is broken .. neither testers nor mihoyo found any issue with her kit that need to be buffed changed at all .. so she defo be meta .. trust

nah because they'll buff yelan again
on god
they will buff her again
no it means hyv doesn't care
wdym .. all they did for Yelan was buffing her cons nd nerfing her base 
qiqi rejected Raiden's vision so it got passed to Kuki
1.5u turned to 1u .. c6 become stronger .. c3 became Q upgrade instead of E upgrade ..
ohh wait they buffed her particle generation to 4 particles allway

c2 got buffed too
total dmg wise it appearently was nerfed but only for hydro application it was a buff for her 

again for constelations

they really wanna sell her cons man

This is so fucking sad
i am crying
Not even fatui are this evil
this is diabolical

they really want the jack of all trades but she's gonna be the mid of all trades 😭
i'm in tears.
well tho honestly .. withou great buffs they cant really fix Kuki nd hell who would bother with changing a 4* s kit that much .. 4* units always tend to stay as they are
they dont really recieve much love 
but whelp .. i would be happy enuf if they increased her ES AoE a bit 
so nothing again


tbf, mihoyo probably is strictly monitoring their facilities
her Q worthless anyways .. ohh wait ..her ES electro application is once every 3 sec right?
great another down factor that i totally forgot 
1.5 sec isn't it
HAHAHHA... nope
looks like she wont be moving at all and yelan is getting little changes
sobbing
crying
screaming
nothing again
like they would .. told you sighh .. they just hate inazuu 4* units 
Kuki:mmmmmmm, hello hoyoverse? At least let me powercreep kokomi for god sake
They hate all inazuman characters
At this point her EM passive should become something phenomenal in future updates
Because of history perhaps?
Smell biased bs
this!!!!!
obviously not we have ayaka, ayato, kazuha, baal, yoimiya

yoimiya is in that list.
i'm sure he's talking about the 4stars
bro everything can slide but why in the fckin world u giving her standart icd .. at least make her ES apply electro every ticc .. frigin lunatics 
oh then yes
well yoimiya is ok ig
it HURTS
could've let her normals scale higher considering her single target damage
true
do mihoyo look at kuki and honestly think "Perfect, she's exactly where we want her"? An entire beta with barely any changes to kuki
Dendro 
its, honestly baffling
Well, kuki is just 4 stars
Still tho
i think more then anything i would want a "resistance to interruption" especially for Yoimiya .. that would open space for more flexible team comps .. cuz with her situation u are litterally forced into Zhongli-Yoimiya pair 
You can easily get c6 her
It's not surprising if you think of her a solely a banner filler character.
She could've been better
that's too much cope, be careful
@hushed meadow beta looking dry with little changes?
idk how they did 😭 they could've run calcs of their own to at least make her some kind of efficient
Probably?
You never know what Mihoyo consider working as intented
zhongli provides her with quite a lot though
GI Front posted c6 Kuki screenshot but when I checked it's the same as previous beta 
Filler character. Working as intended. I guess
they didn't have to cut me off
something something something nothing
and i don't even need your love somebody that i uses to knoe
nobody knows.
U mean what makes her bad or why did they decide to do her dirty?
Takes a spot in a banner while providing near zero value, pretty much meant to lower the value of your pulls. I'm half serious with this
Honestly ,kuki is bad in the first place coz she electro.............
both
Hoyoverse must hate electro
omfg shut up lmao
raiden and beidou exist
did you stop playing the game in like 1.5?
You shut up!
💀
Replying because everybody doing it
I believe Raiden and Beidou are good not because of their element but because their kit is just that good
i can only pull her because i love her instead of her actual value
Electro bad. Raiden, beidou, fischl, Sara, Yae are just exceptions obviously
it still pushes the point across i think
dude said kuki was bad because she was electro, i was stating electro chars that are good
yae isnt 🙂
yae is mid but i love her anyway

fr same
y'all gotta be joking
raiden and beidou exist😭

yae simp smh
yea but sara > fischl for me🤭
yae is like
I def was. Electro bad is such a bad take lol. Yae bad is also a bad take
Raiden coz she archon
Beidou coz she from liyue
😭
bottom 4 5 star
my c0 yae is doing 250k ults but cry about it 
no.?..?????
their kits are just good so😭
you understood that?
and it's never gonna stop 
fischl good battery
sara good buffer
this
fish battery is questionable
yeah venti is broken 

she just has good dmg
Electro bad 
yae's mid because of her passives
they don't match her
replenishing charges does nothing if there's no advantage to how they're placed, and no one actually builds em for yae's second passive

dude from 1.5
he probably says bennett is bad too
or she
Mid by definition isnt bad. Its just mid
fair
Where's noir when you need him
bennett is the second worst pyro
man, I just give up at this point 
diluc is best dps
Theres no point
i'm sorry i can't take you seriously anymore after unironically posting this
Should we call mods here
electro reactions effects are the bad ones honestly .. all are lacking so much cuz they are all situational
EC = only stuns smol units nd hell it doesnt really effect them much unlike it effecst us
but it allows 2 element to stay on a mob which makes it real good regardless .. still its effect is poopy .. i would take "higher dmg" over that useless stun .. it only really stun u instead of mobs man 
Overload = i despise everything about it
Superconduct = prolly the best reaction among electro reactions .. if only it wasnt meant for only 1 chara in the game nd had electro nd cryo res shred as well 
i hardly doubt dendro will be any diffirent nd will just be another situational / limited usage reaction like others 

let's not troll here, thank you
I just want noir, von or ell here to laugh at this 
Lol why did u pick me to reply too. I didnt start this and my sarcasm was quite obvious
who runs em electro lmao
can do that in #・tc-lounge or #・copium
plus ec is actually good
it's thread wide, sorry if that's not clear.
supposedly Yae nd Kuki 
So what do you all think of the Kuki buffs? I think all 0 of them are good
thats why yae is bad 🙂
satire ofc
Copy. Its off topic anyway and stupid topic to debate anyway, so thats fine
overload is good if you can reach the staggered enemies, yanfei and yoimiya don't really have this issue
but then again i'm a yanfei main so #bias
superconduct is good but its market is so thin
razor, eula, maybe rosaria, and xinyan
but then again xinyan herself suffers from not being electro or cryo
Didn't I just say to stop trolling?
If Kuki's icd was real good you could potentially make a good ol overload team that gives good healing and damage thanks to that disgusting passive

i mean
Doesn't matter much in EC but Ol is the main focus in my example so I ignore it

So how good is kuki
21k not considering crit
Well its a shame about kuki. But for my own peace of mind im just gonna pretend she doesnt exist and move on to the next leaks
Cant win em all
Funny how sheets assumed the Q was 14 hits and people were malding because it was so shit. And the only change Kuki got is the total damage showing it was only 12 hits all along
she can do like
70k if her build is near perfect
with set bonus she might do like
84 k
what artifact and set tho?
70k? Did you forget to calculate enemy defense?
thats if you manage to get her to 30 k
no, since thats a variable
it depends on the enemy
so i dont bother


eosf
with a 30% multiplier
wtf is happening there
Honestly Bennett sucks cuz he can't shield tbh
💀
Just use jade cutter
this is so sad
omg jade sheilding confirmed :0

Exactly 
anyways
But who needs shields when you can heal tank. 
Another week of no kuki changes, I've officially given up hoping on kuki
i love women
same
i love the kitty
what
is that really all in the beta?
you should
her 1.6 k healing is op
As someone who doesn't care about at all about Yelan, 2.7 is gonna be painful
I hope 2.8 is poggers, because holy shit it's so dry
maybe they will fix kuki later since 2.7 is delayed a bit 
appearently 2.8 is just Heizou nd full rerun patch 
it does nearly the same amount
bc she's 4 star mhy does not care
and it doesnt eat 30% of your health
If he's 4. Star it's time for me to make my horrifyingly accurate prediction
she's from Liyue
Liyue nuff said
thats the thing 
notice how every imazuman 4 star was bad
i hope kazuha is 2.7 🙏 or someone good
itto maybe
Gorou is op tho
