Genshin Impact’s Kuki Shinobu can perform as a Healer and Electro enabler. However, she can also be built to deal damage by stacking Elemental Mastery. Because she is good at applying Electro off-field, maximizing her Elemental reaction damage is the best way for Kuki Shinobu to perform as a Sub-DPS.

Therefore, since Kuki Shinobu’s role in the game is divided based on how players wish to use her, the following article will split Kuki Shinobu’s best weapons inGenshin Impactfor Healer and Sub-DPS roles.
Best Weapon For Support Kuki Shinobu In Genshin Impact
For support Kuki Shinobu, players have to focus on HP and Elemental Mastery. Becausethere is currently no sword inGenshin Impactthat has an HP sub-stat, the only way to gain HP is by usingPrimordial Jade Cutter. This weapon is also great for the Arataki Gang Deputy as she will get a lot of attacks while players are stacking HP stats.
Meanwhile, Freedom-Sworn and Iron Sting are great for their Elemental Mastery sub-stat. This is because Elemental Mastery also increases Kuki Shinobu’s healing. Additionally,Freedom-Sworncan provide a team-wide buff when Kuki Shinobu triggers an Elemental reaction.
Unlike Freedom-Sworn that’s a 5-star weapon,Iron Stingis a 4-star weapon that can be obtained by forging. To get one, players have to own one Sword Billet, 50 Crystal Chunks, and 50 White Iron Chunks. Travelers don’t have to worry about refining the sword asKuki Shinobu will not be benefiting from the weapon’s passive inGenshin Impact.
Best Weapon For Sub-DPS Kuki Shinobu In Genshin Impact
Meanwhile, for Kuki Shinobu to deal damage, there are more weapons players can choose from. The best way to utilize the Ex-Shrine Maiden as a Sub-DPS is by maximizing her Elemental reaction damage.
For both damage dealing and support Kuki Shinobu, Freedom-Sworn, Primordial Jade Cutter, and Iron Sting are all great weapons. This makesIron Sting the best F2P weapon for Kuki Shinobu inGenshinImpact.
As for the rest of the weapons:Haran Geppaku FutsuandMistsplitter Reforgedare mainly here as a stat-stick that can provide a lot of Critical stat. Kuki Shinobu will not be using most of the passive except for the Elemental damage bonus it provides.
The Alley Flash,Lion’s Roar, andThe Black Swordare all 4-star weapons. The Alley Flash buffs the Ex-Shrine Maiden in damage as long as she stays off-field, Lion’s Roar will continuously buff Kuki Shinobu’s damage as long as the enemies are affected by Pyro or Electro, and lastly, The Black Sword is a battle-pass-exclusive weapon that can provide a decent amount of Critical Rate from its sub-stat.
TheseGenshin Impactweaponswon’t do much to Kuki Shinobu’s supportive ability, but they are among the best options players can use for her to deal the most damage.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
