Kuki Shinobu is a part of the Arataki gang. She is extremely flexible and can be put on any team to apply Electro, but she particularly shines in Hyperbloom and Aggravate team comps. While Kuki Shinobu can fit into several different types of teams, her best team compositions in Genshin Impact are mentioned ahead.


1) Kuki Shinobu + Cyno + Xingqiu + Nahida

This is a Hyperbloom team featuring Cyno, who is currently featured on the limited-time character banners of version 4.2, as the main DPS. Cyno and Kuki Shinobu apply Electro upon the Dendro cores created by their teammates in order to trigger Hyperbloom.

Xingqiu and Nahida are preferred here to apply Hydro and Dendro, respectively, off-field to create Dendro cores. The former also provides damage reduction and resistance to interruption to Cyno.


2) Kuki Shinobu + Alhaitham + Xingqiu + Nahida

A similar team composition as the previous one, this variant switches Cyno with Alhaitham as the main DPS. The latter is considered one of the strongest DPS units in the game and can deal high amounts of Dendro damage.

The other three units, including Kuki Shinobu, can apply their respective elements off-field in order to facilitate Hyperbloom.


3) Kuki Shinobu +Yelan + Xingqiu + Nahida

This Hyperbloom variant replaces the main DPS with another capable sub-DPS Hydro unit called Yelan. Her Elemental Burst is extremely similar to Xingqiu's with higher multipliers. As such, both of them, alongside Nahida, can produce a lot of Dendro cores for Kuki Shinobu to explode via her Elecro application.


4) Kuki Shinobu + Alhaitham + Yae Miko + Nahida

Alhaitham pairs extremely well with Kuki Shinobu in Genshin Impact. Both of them can trigger the Aggravate elemental reaction continuously to dish out high damage. The team also includes Yae Miko and Nahida to apply Electro and Dendro off-field, furthering the Aggravate damage.


5) Kuki Shinobu + Alhaitham + Zhongli + Nahida

This team comp is a variation of the previous one, where Zhongli replaces Yae Miko. The former offers players an unbreakable shield and resistance to interruption, allowing for easier gameplay. Zhongli can also reduce the Electro and Dendro RES of enemies for increased damage.
