Explore this guide to learn about Cookie's skills, pick up weapons, artifacts, their recommended stats, and build a powerful squad.

Shinobu's Cookie Genshin impact – 4⭐ Electro swordswoman who turned the Arataki gang upside down. She expanded the scope of services provided, giving the guys the opportunity to earn good money. Helps out of troubles and even pulled them out of prison more than once. It seems that Itto himself is afraid of her. It's not hard to imagine how bad things would be in the gang without a reliable and capable girl who is wary of the Narukami Great Shrine.

How to get Cookie Shinobu

Deputy Gang Leader Arataki has been officially announced and is waiting for her banner in the second half of patch 2.7.

As soon as the character is released or there are more current builds, the guide will be updated.

Strengths and Weaknesses of Kuki Shinobu

Consider benefits, thanks to which it is worth taking Kuki Shinobu to the squad:

• High base HP, which increases when pumping;
• Budget assembly and ease of use;
• The ability to constantly maintain a heal from E-shki;
• Relatively inexpensive ult at 60 units;
• There is no decisive constellation without which Cookie would not be able to realize herself;

К disadvantages refers to:

• For greater efficiency, you need to keep HP below 50%;
• No powerful reactions with Electro;
• Low base attack.

Kuki Shinobu's abilities and talents

During normal attack quickly strikes with a sword up to 4 times.

Charged attack makes a double cleave with the sword, dealing increased damage and spending a small amount of stamina.

Attack in the fall flies down rapidly. On impact with the ground, inflicts P. area damage.

When applied elemental skill creates an Electro ring that spins around the character. At the same time, the current amount of HP is reduced by 30%. This consumption cannot reduce health below 20% of the total.

A ring created by E-shka deals Electro damage to nearby enemies every 1.5 seconds and heals nearby allies. The amount of HP restored is based on Cookie's maximum health, and the damage is based on attack power. E-shka does not disappear when switching characters.

Explosion of the elements creates a field in front of him in which lightning continuously strikes enemies from the ground with an Electro element. Impact force is calculated from max. HP. If Cookie's health is below 50% when activated, the duration of the ult is extended by 1.5 seconds (duration when HP is above 50% - 2 seconds).

Passive Talents:

Constellations Kuki Shinobu and which one is worth knocking out

How to play as Kuki Shinobu

The game for Kuki is simple and convenient. It is enough for her to enter the battlefield for a couple of seconds, apply her skills and go into her pocket to reload. If she plays the role of a healer, you need to collect as much HP as possible and use the elemental cooldown skill. With the presence of a second constellation that increases the duration of the ring, the healing can be maintained permanently.

In addition, Cookie can be put in the role of sup-dd if there are no more suitable characters for this role. She has an inexpensive ult with good damage. Best of all, he shows himself as a support for physical players (Eola, Razor, Keia). Invokes the Superconductor reaction and pours energy.

Is it worth it to knock out Kouki Shinobu

Kuki Shinobu is a versatile support hero who can perform several roles in a squad at once. And although at the moment there are no powerful reactions with the Electro element, the plums about Sumeru with the Dendro element promise to correct the situation.

Arataki's helper Itto is the first Electro healer to both buff and contribute to overall damage. Before knocking out, beginners should consider that most of the materials are in Inazuma. Therefore, if the Electro region is not yet open, you will have to wait with pumping.
