I'm gonna take this vid down due to lots of leaks at some point. Maybe a week but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
idk how did you test her but shinobu e can keeps aura 100% uptime during its duration 🤦
Oh cool, another Qiqi but 4*
Dude character hasn't released!! Are u beta tester?? Don't make false claim about character!! Put ur opinion to yourself…..Every character has his short comming…I mean…One character doesn't carry whole game….That's why role is assign…What if she heal!! she good we can run full electro team!! You should include… "Take this thing grain of slat"
Clickin some bait
I was looking at her kit and felt the same- like what is this supposed to do?
dang
Seems fine to me…
i don't really care about most of her stuffs im only interrested in her elemental ability healing and electro aplication
Let's be honest here, even if the character is terrible. We as players will still pull them. This is a gacha game so essentially a character collector. These games have thousands of characters not all are viable for high tier gaming content.
Just for you guys
“Kuki Shinobu will be one of the worst units ever released”
Says every Genshin fan/ content creator before a character is released and realize they are wrong.
For me, she's the best character ever. She's already my new main dps.
I wonder how well this video will age the closer we get Shinobu’s release. I just doubt Hoyoverse would make the first electro healer be this underwhelming.
I respect everyone's opinion. Play who you want…
Her appearance is the sole reason why I'll be pulling for her, thats all
Quality of Inazuma characters has always been hit or miss. Ayaka, Kazuha, Sara and Ei are great and top tier (even how niche Sara is she fulfills that niche really well at C6 which js great for a 4star). Ayato and Kokomi are solid to really good. And then the rest kinda suck. Especially Yae and Thoma. People think Yae is good because her damage isn’t bad but a C0 Yae is worse than -C6 Fischl or Beidou mostly because Yae only out damages them by a small margin yet has one function, also her synergy is clunkier than C0 Sara. Then there is Thoma who is just well ya. Then Sayu is exclusively great for traversal and although she isn’t terrible she is when compared to all other anemo characters. If Kuki ends up being a good battery she COULD have a place in mono electro but she’s gonna need some better numbers and maybe change her C6 so it applies to her teammates who have the ring on.
i just want her because she's cute, beatiful and maybe have the good history.
Nice click bait. But i will never watch ur video anymore after this
Haha electro whip go brrrrrrrrr
Everyone who thinks healers are the worst characters are just weird.
This is my first to experience a healer will reduce her /his own HP before using healing Skill. I already reject this character it's seem big trap.
My another heal much better than Kuki. Despite I hate the concept of Reduced HP.
not too bad tbf. I wouldn't feel uncomfortable on floor 12 with 3,7k hp per tick on E with a 3sec cooldown with build in here at all, so it's more like former zhongli mains will have to use their last remaining braincells to actually press some buttons if they don't want to skip. she's pretty versatile if you know how to build her, compared to other healers that are not bennet her ticks on E look solid, it only has 3 second cooldown with no downtime at all at C2, can apply electro to multiple enemies rapidly at the same time and doesnt need huge powerspike that could be at c6 to be strong which is what happens to fischl. Give her full millelith and you will have almost full uptime on 4pc aside from one more buff to hp. Give her Jade Cutter on a support build and you will buff her healing even more (4,5k per tick ig?) and give enough ATK to make up the lack of it. I don't consider a good idea to have EM on main stats at all unless you only have iron sting because of how little it gives, and while freedom sworn is nice Kuki's own healing and damage gets nerfed hard compared to Jade Cutter so I would honestly slot kazuha and give it to him if you want its benefits unless youre a whale and dont give a shit. Meanwhile, although my point is not that kuki needs jade cutter to be viable, Kuki seems to be one of the very few to be able to use all the potential of it and fully benefit from it. With how much it gives you are free to focus on crit dmg / EM on substats to buff both her damage and healing even more and increase her power on reactions teams. A well invested Kuki would easily allow for a flex spot in Eula-Kuki-Rosaria comp and is a good option for mono-electro team. I also see her as a good support choice for Itto team on whose banner she's most likely going to be, due to her constant electro application on E she can crystallize a lot so you can benefit from geo resonance without having to slot shielder/healer or playing Noelle.
It surely isn't OP but not OP doesnt equal useless. She seems to have the simillar purpose like kokomi and, now that i ran into this vid, just like her Kuki will get hated on release and will keep considered bad untill zy0x releases full guide on her, after which all the meta slaves will feel their pants smelling and OG havers will laugh at them from above XD
she's just a tenacity launcher lol
I think dendro will make a lot of changes to her
Wow… All I needed to do was watch the first 21 seconds of the video to realize this video will not be good. Down Sides??? what?!? Her being an Electro Healer is LITERALLY THE MAIN THING that 99% of players are wanting her for. That makes Electro and Healer on the UP side (not the down side).
EM scaling is great for her. It increases her healing and Burst damage…. PLUS will add a lot more damage to overloaded. So again, EM scaling on the UP side.
"4*, must be weaker". Bennett, Xingqiu, Xiangling, Diona, Ningguang, Sucrose, Yenfei.
I'm guessing you're one of those silly players that only focus on Meta DPS. If a character doesn't do massive damage, then they are "terrible" and "bad" (I'm quoting YOUR words btw).
I think what you get confused about…. is that there is a DIFFERENCE between "bad" and "niche". I would bet that you think Yun Jin is a bad character….. when really, she's amazing…. she just has more restrictions on which parties she's can be viable for… then say, Bennett, for example.
ALSO…. having an Electro healer will open up a lot more team comps. She doesn't just add herself to the party… she opens the party up more. She allows players to keep the electro applier in the party without having to sacrifice one of their characters for a healer… since Kuki will apply electro AND heal. I have two teams I run right now (overloaded with Yoimiya, and Electro-Charged with Ayato) that Kuki would fit perfectly in.
Even if you're someone who find her kit underwhelming, and she just doesn't fit your style, and you think she's bad……. she opens up so many new opportunities for team comps…which in itself, makes her amazing.
I think she’s just supposed to be used for reactions.
Mihoyo really half assed these inazuma characters If sumeru characters are better kit wise, then I would believe they just hate Inazuma(Japan)
Another 4 star that would be benched
i hope hoyoverse gives use 1600 primos
for kuki being weakest character
I understand but she can be very fun in coop.
What a clown 🤡
Maybe. But There is an unknown variable coming very soon: Dendro.
Talking about a character that didn't come out is extremely stupid and stupid.
So is it best to replace Kokomi with her in my team? Or is Kuki gonna be that weak in everything?
My team: Raiden Shogun/Yae Miko/Kokomi/Zhongli and when I need a buff I use Sara replacing Kokomi or Zhongli.
Not as good as I was hoping, but there's more factors to think about. The ICD sucks, but that actually puts her ironically the same rate as Yae or Beidou (unless the electro attack bounces back to the original target). Also, electrocharge will proc twice per application (over 2 seconds), so it's not truly as terrible as it sounds (but faster is always better). Being an electro AOE applier and healer would open up electrocharge teams in a better way than Kokomi. Kokomi is a DPS loss compared to some other electro teams (Child and Ayato) in exchange for survivability. If the electro slot is able to have the same role consolidation, then this will ascend Child, Ayato, and Yelan in electrocharged teams (also, Sucrose, as staple will be easy EM for Shinobu).
I think the big difference between her being great or simply ok is going to be her particle generation. If it's decent, she can be paired with Beidou as the electro appliers, if not, it'll be difficult to pair them together.
She's gonna be a great but niche unit purely because she's electro and a healer. Healers are more important than ever nowadays and she can open up some team comps. Just by virtue of her E having such a high uptime and at c2, a 100% uptime means tenacity will be perfect for her. EM is also moderately nice for her since it boosts her healing. I don't care if she does next to no damage, I want her for healing and tenacity for any team comp I'd put her in. And building EM on her for taser would actually dish out some decent damage. I'm excited to use her with my Childe.
lol
I just want a healer that heals with a SKILL, and is not Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, (cause my current team has them) And is similar height to medium females, (my entire team is medium females and idk why I prefer my team having the same exact height)
Hey its like when kokomi was terrible all over again, only she was great 😀
I don't care about her being bad, I just know that she'll be a character I'm going to pull for and play. Same with Yelan
