As a flexible Hydro support character in Genshin Impact, Kokomi has several viable builds. She is mainly a Healer and her healing scales off of her max HP. Therefore, players will want to focus on HP% for the substats while building her.

Despite Kokomi being unable to Crit, her Hydro element gives her access to all the meta elemental reactions such as Vaporize, Frozen, Bloom, and Hyperbloom. These reactions and her role in players' teams will strongly influence her artifacts and builds choices in Genshin Impact.


1) 4-piece Ocean Hued Clam
