Sangonomiya Kokomi in Genshin Impact: Best Weapon and Artifact Builds, Skills, Leveling and Ascension

Kokomi is a new playable character in Genshin Impact, set to be added to the game alongside the 2.1 update. She is a five-star Hydro mage, but her main advantage is the ability to heal allies during battle. In this guide, we've gathered everything you need to know about this heroine.

Kokomi will be available on September 22, 2021, with the release of the second banner of the 2.1 update. You can obtain her through wishes.

To activate a constellation, you will need a Stella Fortuna for the specific character. You will obtain it if you get Kokomi again during wishes.

When Kokomi reaches level 20, her leveling is paused. To continue the development of the heroine, an ascension process is required. For this, certain resources are needed.

Spectral Husks, Spectral Hearts, and Spectral Nuclei can be obtained from Specters. You can also craft a Spectral Heart from 3 Husks, and a Spectral Nucleus from 3 Hearts. Varunada Lazurite Slivers, Fragments, Chunks, and Gemstones drop from Oceanids, are obtained in the Stormterror's Lair and the Golden House. Varunada Lazurite Fragments can be crafted from three Slivers, Chunks from three Fragments, and Gemstones from three Chunks. Varunada Lazurite Slivers can be purchased in souvenir shops. We've indicated their exact location on the map.

Cleansing Hearts are dropped by Hydro Hypostases of level 30 and above. Sango Pearls can be found in the open world of the game, on the shores of the Inazuma archipelago islands.

The Prototype Amber catalyst is recommended as a weapon. It allows your Elemental Burst to regenerate 4-6 energy and heal 4-6% of health for all party members every 2 seconds for 6 seconds. You can get the recipe for this catalyst as a reward for defeating bosses like Stormterror, Azhdaha, Childe, and the Wolf of the North.

Another weapon option for Kokomi is the Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers. With it, every successful hit with an Elemental Skill gives a 40-80% chance to reduce its cooldown. This ability will be effective for healing team members. You can obtain this catalyst through the Wishes in the Epitome Invocation and the Intertwined Fate.

For artifacts, consider the Maiden Beloved set. 2 pieces from this set increase healing effectiveness by 15%. 4 pieces from this set increase healing received by 20% for 10 seconds after using an Elemental Skill or Burst. You can obtain artifacts from this set by completing the Valley of Remembrance domain. We've marked its location on the map.

An alternative option is the Adventurer set. 2 pieces from this set increase HP by 1000 units and, as a result, increase Kokomi's healing effectiveness. If you activate 4 artifacts from this set, opening any chest will restore 30% of health over 5 seconds. Artifacts from this set can be found in the Domain of Guyun, as well as dropped by bosses like the Pyro Hypostasis, Pyro Regisvine, and the Oceanid.

Pros:

Cons:

Kokomi is a born healer. Your main task while playing her is to restore the health of your allies. Use her Elemental Skill as often as possible to summon Bake-Kurage. During the cooldown of this ability, use her Elemental Burst and attack enemies while the health of other team members is being restored. Then you can switch to the main attacking character.

As a healer, Kokomi fits well into any team. However, if you want to make the most of her Hydro magic, it's a good idea to include Electro and Cryo characters in your team. With them, you can freeze opponents and deal consistent Electro damage. And don't forget about Geo spells, which allow you to create Elemental shields.
