Genshin Impact Ascension Materials, Elemental Skill, and Burst of Kuki Shinobu explained
As the first Electro Healer character to be added to the game, Kuki Shinbou has a unique Elemental Skill and Burst set. Leaked gameplay footage has been embedded above for players to have a look at all her attack animations. The leaked footage also includes her adorable idle animations as well.
Her Elemental Skill appears to be the main focus of her kit. When Kuki Shinobu casts her Elemental Skill, she will sacrifice a portion of her health to summon a ring that will heal on-field characters and deal Electro DMG to nearby enemies simultaneously. The amount of healing she can provide is based on her HP as well Elemental Mastery.
Kuki's Elemental Burst damage is also based on her maximum health. When she casts her Elemental Burst, Kuki will stab the ground to deal Electro damage to enemies caught in the AoE. Players can watch the video above to see how her Elemental Burst works.
All the materials required for the ascension of Kuki Shinobu are available in the current version of the game. Fans who want to summon Kuki Shinobu should start farming all her ascension and talent level-up materials.
