Kuki Shinobu's Elemental Skill 'Sanctifying Ring' in Genshin Impact creates a Grass Ring of Sanctification at the cost of a small amount of her health, dealing Electro damage to nearby opponents.

The ring will stay on the field following the current active character, even if Shinobu is switched out. It will deal Electro damage to nearby opponents every 1.5 seconds and restores HP for the active character based on Shinobu's Max HP. The HP consumption from using the Elemental Skill will only bring her health to 20%.

Her Elemental Burst, 'Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite,' stabs her sword into the ground, creating an AoE field that deals continuous Electro damage to opponents based on Shinobu's Max HP. If her health is less than or equal to 50% when using this skill, the field will last longer.

  1. Teachings / Guide / Philosophies of Elegance
