19:25 I also noticed that in around v1.5. MHY really seems to discriminates against Inazuma characters while biases for liyue characters. Of course Inazuma & Monstadt characters are not bad at all, BUT overall they are kind of somewhat SLIGHTLY behind liyue characters.
The way MHY does that really makes me a liyue-character hater. I now hate all liyue characters even those god-tier such as zhongli. I've already stopped pulling for liyue characters since hutao banner in v1.3 when I started to have the feeling that MHY biases for liyue characters and discriminate against the others. All of my liyue characters are now naked with 1-star weapons, too bad I can't unequip the weapons.
You can call me idiot that limit myself from strong characters, I don't care.
what would be cool is if her burst was a team heal based on how much dmg it dealt, would be balanced and wouldn't be broken
just like with Yelan, i wish she was a cryo character. imagine the melt comps
Let’s just hope they change some shit before they release her cuz if they don’t, she’s about to be one of the worst characters even tho she looks nice asl
Praying you get to 20K subscribers fam
Hey, Smackdaddy, what if you use 2pc ToM 2pc Clam/Maiden on her HP% HP% Healing Bonus or 3x HP% dedicated healer with some passive damage on the side how does that work on her?
Or 2pc ToM + 2pc Noblesse?
I like that she has high up time on Tenacity of the Millelith. I think I'll just build her HP for healing/burst damage and use her in a taser comp with Childe and Beidou.
Sucks that she doesn't do anything but ToM, heal, and electro application though.
My dude. I took 1 glance at her talent multipliers and I already knew there was no point in even attempting to build her the way you described. I appreciate all your work in these videos all the same bro but I think it would have been more helpful to show the numbers for an EM build. (maybe in a new video? 😉)
The only viable build I can see working on her is Full EM circlet, cup, sands and weapon. You can get to 900+ EM (unbuffed). If you add Kazuha c2, Elegy, Sucrose, Instructor buffs you can get even more! As some of the other commenters have explained, she looks like she is meant to be in an electro-charged or a overload team comp, PERIOD.
I'm not saying she is going to be good still (I'll wait until release and test her myself) but I'm actually MUCH more interested in what she will look like as a taser or overload EM based comp!
Bruh I know it's a pve game and all, but the devs make me mald sometimes ngl. It's not easy getting primos for just 1 single multi, yet they keep giving us such some characters with below mid kits. This anti-powercreep shitshow is getting real annoying
I can also see dendro being a heavy healing element due to association of plants = healing just like how water is associated with healing as well.
Man you are 🔥
Love you homie
You guide & thought on characters are 💪
Another thing to note what makes characters like Bennett, Xingqui, Sucrose top tier is the fact that they generate a lot of orbs with their e skill reliability.
Kuki seems like she might have poor energy generation, which will be another huge downside to the character.
how did i guess it was beidou lmaoo
I don't understand, why Mihoyo doesn't just make her healing scales with EM???
Finalllyyyy
If you think emblem or tenacity is the best build for her, then its most likely not true. She is an electro character, that can do superconduct. 4 piece clam is definitely her highest dps option, and just like the case with Kokomi, usually clam gives more dps than tenacity, unless your main dps are ultra highly invested. Usually you don't need Aoe electro application in an EC comp, but it can be useful in a superconduct comp. Her best comp is definitely in Itto comp though, in short most people who actually use her are Itto mains. Other than that its either Superconduct or taser. But there is definitely another new comp she opens up, mono electro + kazuha teams that actually have a healer.
Im building her pure healing as her kit tells me she works best in a super conduct team with applying electro stats. Eula, Kuki, Lisa for def down on her passive & Roseria C6 for decrease phys resistance.
Eula on pale flame
Lisa on emblem with Thrilling Tales book
Kuki on Tenacity – Weapon EM sword/favonius sword
Roseria on nobless/emblem. death match
Bro thanks for this… I can safely skip 😂. I honestly wanted an electro healer but this doesn't make the cut. You made a great point of their possibly being more use of her kit in the future so I'll wait and see. Hopefully they drop an event ftp EM weapon soon
When i see split scaling stats, my interest plummets. Any characters with this stupidity are inherently bad.
What a shame, I wish she had some weird synergies with Itto
Her kit could do so much with just a tad bit more finesse.
Like make that EM gain for her healing and damage be percentage based instead of just a flat increase.
Have her Burst refund a portion of Energy back to the team based off of her current HP%. Like above 50% = 10 energy, below 50% = 15, and below 25% = 20. That would make managing her health WAY more fun and give a meaning to her risk-reward nature. Even a team cleanse would be helpful with how her burst description is worded.
At the very least, though her healing is extremely linear only applying to the active party member, she will always have heals up at the comfort of just using an Elemental Skill similar to Kokomi.
making kuki so frecking bad, is yet an other needless nerf to ayato. can we please get an op support just for ayato, painful to see her c4, it should have been like fischl c6, imagin fischl c6+ 0.1 cd kuki c4 + ayato, that shit would have made ayato meta, just imagine that
Personally I will make this build, assuming she's not have icd on her E:
– 4 pieces millelith (+20% attack to the team including shinobu + 20% hp)
– Kazuha's EM weapon (+20% atk + 16% dmg normal attack, charged, plunge) / or Mondstatd's craftable EM weapon
– FULL EM with substats hp/er (maybe Crit if you have god tier artifact).
She will do more damage per SECOND playing full reaction with her E than with a classic Tc/dc stuff and we won't have to worry about her ER. In addition, her ult is like Amber's, so there's a good chance of having very few ticks that hit the enemies, especially if they are very mobile. It's good only to break Shields
We make the EM passive of shinobu profitable, especially to heal but also in damage (with reactions) knowing that the hp is not too much of a worry: without the substats, with the millelith and her elevation, she has a basic hp hourglass.
So, with her lvl 10 ability, per tick she heals 2395 WHITHOUT SUBSTATS with the iron sting and her first elevation passive. (2754 with the passive). We have some margin to increase the healing
I think her best teams will be Ayato/Tarta/Mona taser or overvape. She could even replace beidou in full EM build (electrocution at 8k-10k x 2, overload at 15k/17k, without reduction shred) knowing that beidou needs boost for damage while shinobu does damage with reactions and boost/heal her allies.
I would play her in a team Ayato, Yelan, Kazuha/sucrose, Kuki (Reso hydro go brrr lol) or Ayato sucrose kuki albedo (full aoe em squad, can be really interesting in dps+crownd control)
I really think she's future proof, but now, overall, Hoyoverse produces characters you should hard invest on
(Thanks for reading and sorry for the mistakes, I'm not English speaking)
Ahhhh man was waiting for this vid as i was only looking forward to koki…seriously disappointed.
I feel like theyre trying to push shinobu with the coolness factor of her animations and appearance rather than usefulness
We missed you… but i understand the feeling…. HOW CAN WE SURVIVE WITHOUT COFFEE?!??!?!?!!
Shinobu
– 4 piece millelith +20% atk
– Freedom sworn
R1 normal,charge, plunge +16% and 20% atk
R5 32% and 40% atk
Need a limited 5 star weapon to buff the team what other healers can do without a buff weapon
Meme Lisa
– 4 noblesse +20% atk
4 emblem + nothing
– prototyp amber
(know she can heal too XD)
– Q = 15% def shred
A character everyone have, most player never craft any catalyst or already have prototyp amber so it is possible to get the weapon to R5, if you buy every lisa from the shop and never pull her she would be C3
Have a E that is like shinobu's Q it only does dmg BUT her E can hit luck a truck
I thins they didn't learn the lesson from qiqi. If you make a healer only heal, people are not going to use them. Diona gives shields, nerfs enemy Atk inside her burst and at higher constellations buffs EM. Kokomi is one of the best freeze enablers and has a dps window. Jean can dish out nice dmg, vv shred and also enables some fun unique mechanics like fall damage and sunfire. Bennet is Bennet.
Kuki's value, so far, it's just her being an electro healer. That's it. The moment they release a second electro healer, she will be forgotten. Good luck doing the same thing with Bennet/diona/kokomi/jean. Also, I think it's time for a geo healer that doesn't require field time.
Dang, it looks like Hoyoverse is making either extremely niche or downright sucky 4 stars. Why don't they just make her focus on support since she clearly sucks at damage.
yeah so dissapointing.
She’s straight-up powercreep to Qiqi in phys superconduct teams. Even if Kuki heals lower, her healing has a much higher uptime than Qiqi
SmackDaddyKing: Whoever drops in Sumeru gives EM…
Sucrose giving 200+ EM: Am I a joke to you?
