What is the best Genshin Impact Kokomi build?

Genshin Impact’s Kokomi is a unique character, in that she is an all-rounder who can fill all three of the base rolls effectively. Her burst damage makes her a great DPS, her consistent hydro application is great for support, and she has strong heals that can sustain her whole team.

Though her negative crit rate, caused by her passive, does reduce her raw damage capacity, it makes her easier to build as you don’t need to balance her two crit statuses and other damage skills, as you would with other characters.

Genshin Impact Kokomi best weapon

There are different weapon recommendations depending on which role you want your Kokomi to play in battle, but in general Everlasting Moonglow is one of the top picks. For each role below, we’ve listed the top weapon first, followed by some suitable alternates.

Main Burst DPS

Weapon Description How to obtain
Everlasting Moonglow Your healing bonus increased by 10% and normal attack damage is increased by 1% of Kokomi’s max HP. For 12 seconds after using an elemental burst, normal attacks that hit opponents will restore 0.6 energy (energy can be restored this way once every 0.1 seconds) Gacha
Prototype Amber Using an elemental burst regenerates four energy every two seconds for six seconds. All party members will regenerate 4% HP every two seconds for this duration Forge via blacksmith
Wine and Song Hitting an opponent with a normal attack decreases the stamina consumption of sprint or alternate sprint by 14% for five seconds. Additionally, using a sprint or alternate sprint ability increases attack by 20% for five seconds Gacha

Hydro hybrid support

Weapon Description How to obtain
Everlasting Moonglow Your healing bonus increased by 10% and normal attack damage is increased by 1% of Kokomi’s max HP. For 12 seconds after using an elemental burst, normal attacks that hit opponents will restore 0.6 energy (energy can be restored this way once every 0.1 seconds) Gacha
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers When you switch characters, the new character taking the field has their attack increased by 24% for ten seconds. This effect only occurs every 20 seconds Gacha
Prototype Amber Using an elemental burst regenerates four energy every two seconds for six seconds. All party members will regenerate 4% HP every two seconds for this duration Forge via blacksmith

Genshin Impact Kokomi artifacts

Ocean-Hued Clam is a brilliant option for both healing and DPS, as the foam that accumulates healed HP deals some nasty damage when it explodes, and with Kokomi’s persistent heal application, is active around pretty much constantly.

On the other hand, Heart of Depth is a great artifact set for Kokomi, as it boosts your all important hydro damage at two pieces, and your normal and charged attack damage after using an elemental skill at four pieces, which will help both your DPS and your healing thanks to Kokomi’s passives.

Artifact Description Where to get
Ocean-Hued Clam Two pieces: Healing bonus +15%
Four pieces: upon healing a party member, a foam appears, accumulating healed HP for three seconds. The foam then explodes and deals 90% of the HP healed as damage to nearby enemies. Max accumulated healing is 30,000 HP, including over-heal. There can only be one foam active, but it remains even if the character leaves the field. Foam cooldown is 3.5 seconds		 Slumbering Court domain in Fort Hiraumi, on Seirai Island
Heart of Depth Two pieces: Hydro damage bonus +15%
Four pieces: After using an elemental skill, your normal attack and charged attack damage is increased by 30% for 15 seconds		 Peak of Vindagnyr domain on Dragonspine, in Mondstadt
Tenacity of Milelith Two pieces: HP is increased by 20%
Four pieces: When an elemental skill hits an opponent, the attack of all nearby party members in increased by 20% and their shield strength is increased by 30% for three seconds. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5 seconds. This effect can still be triggered even when the character who is using the artifact is not on the field		 Ridge Watch domain on Bishui Plain, Liyue
