Kokomi’s career in Genshin Impact was definitely an interesting one. On release, she was considered an abject failure of a five star, with many writing her off as a Barbara who cost money. Over the next year and change as players began to explore more combinations of characters and teams, Kokomi’s value shot up tremendously, to the point where she’s now one of the most powerful five stars in the game. Today we’re gonna discuss what happened to Kokomi, and how she went from one of the worst five stars in the game to one of the BEST.

Tbh, what i've liked about Kokomi is how constant she is, how I can slap her onto taser, then my ganyu freeze team, then her being a pretty good hydro for Nilou's bloom. Really the only team she sucks in is any vape.
I am fairly new to the game but can't all of these videos be summed up as 'Cos Dendro was released' lol? Same w/ Kuki.
i love kokomi. she is so awesome to me, she is in every team where i need hydro and healer. When i first saw her i was like "she is like… mona but healer" and i knew who i wanna win and i did <3 ofc she is lil hard to build because crit rate and dmg.
Personally, there is one thing that ruins her kit for me, the summon. Its stationary with a meh aoe, but is most of her value, but instead of her burst giving another cast it just extends the duration so you can't reposition it often.
Im glad she showed up to me with my Poverty pulls on her 1st banner! (20 pulls)
Now i even like her more
I got Kokomi by pure chance on her second banner (did 1 ten pull after I got Raiden and there she was) and well, now I'm a Kokomi main
It's cool that other people see more use for her, but I thought the reason for ppl bashing kokomi is because she doesn't provide any buff instead of the minus crit
the most misunderstood character in my opinion is Child, but one reason for this is he came so early into the game an nobody at that point knew how elemtel reaction worked…….so they gave him a bad reputation and after 1 month ppl started to reconsider there decision
Sort of random question: can some characters just not pass floor 12 of abyss? My razor has a 78 102 crit rate and damage ratio, and I’ve built characters like zhongli and yun Jin, but I can’t beat the first chamber of floor 12 (I have a ganyu too but for some reason razors dps is higher last time o checked)
Interesting enough,
The genshin updates changed how i use and play Kokomi in the same ways
She went from being my healer at the start of my game, to one of my main dpss with the advent of Clam to being the enabler of my strongest team to date, Kokoburgeon
I guess the same can be said for Thoma
He gradually grew as a subdps/shielder for both Chongyi and Koko but now, his new build (guilded 4pc) makes his role in Kokoburgeon incredibly strong, like 23k strong, AND, I'm running him with ER sands, Crit Rate circlet and Fav Spear
CAN YOU IMAGINE EM ON every piece?
Well I can, sounds like horrible burst uptime for both Koko and Thoma
Don't worry they the Youtube Meta is gonna trash on every Great Character on release. Dehya is probably next.
I believed in my favourite fish from the very beginning. The Internet jumps to conclusions way to soon without thinking about it. Just repeat and believe what a stranger said is way easier.
See the recent Bayonetta controversy.
As a koko i am so happy that she got what ahe deserved but i am kinda sad because my koko does more dmg than my shogun
I pull when others didnt, and was my second character i triple crowned after hu tao. I just see a cute girl and i pulled, same for Nilou.
The worst part about Kokomi is that there aren't two of her for Spiral Abyss. I got her on her first banner and have had her in all my best teams since then.
I agree. People thought Clam set made Kokomi somewhat relevant, but tbh Kokomi never needed a dedicated artifact. Like you said, Tenacity exists. Sure, it helped give attention to Kokomi but Koko's relevance isnt tied with the clam set.
U forgot to mention her having the best hydro AOE
I couldn't get her the first time she was released and people said she's bad but I'm happy I finally managed to get her
I could not justify Kokomi on her first run, and with time passing I can even less now, hell I dont even use healers and shielders anymore on abyss, and the few times I meet rifthounds there are far from enough reason, so, yeah Kokomi is not as bad as I though at first but that is far from enough
well I think her boom in popularity was triggered by corrosion with the introduction of Rifthounds, inb people could just facetank anything without worrying about taking damage thanks to Zhongli. It's just another way to powercreep a healer, she/healers became a second thought to a necessity nowadays.
"one of the best characters on genshin" is pushing it , people associate being usable as being meta these days , koko does have some usable cases now but she doesn't out perform any other hydro unit in the game. She's worse than Childe , xing , yelan and ayato in terms of dmg , she doesn't have any built in dmg buffs like yelan , doesn't have as much aoe application as Childe and doesnt have a team where she out performs any of the above hydro units.
She's a comfort unit like zhong , easy to use , easy to build and keeps you from dying , notice how zhong has a high use rate but you barely see him used in most teams and when ytubers talk about him they start to say how he's fallen off or isn't as meta and that's the same with koko , she's not breaking records in clear times compares to the rest. I think even vars himself mentioned long ago that a unit who's kit is only based on applying an element and nothing else will get power crept instantly when someone even slighly better arrives and well look at yelan , she broke into the 4th highest selling banner and became as used as Xingqiu because she brought more than just application.
she was never useless.
Main reason I didn't pull for kokomi initially was due to having gone hard to get shogun for a burst team
I pulled Kokomi when I played my f2p account after I abandoned it. she carried my team and made GI content so easy
Nope, still not convinced
what is it with sayin zhongli offers nothing besides tanking
of course he'll never be the best offensive option but his shield does offer interruption resistance, which can be extremely valuable sometimes, as well as universal resistance shred, in fact he is currently one of the only 2 ways to reduce enemy dendro resistance
She's the ONLY character I havent switched out of my team ever since I got her a year ago (i shed blood, sweat and a LOT of tears during her first banner cause she just REFUSED to come home. she eventually did and it was the happiest day of my week). heck i've even replaced ayaka from my team to become more versatile (but also because my ayaka is too overpowered. she kills enemies too fast jfehgjks).
all in all, she's the single most versatile character i've ever used and no matter what new character I get she manages to synergize with them very efficiently
