Kokomi had a rough debut in Genshin Impact as she was overshadowed by the Electro Archon. Nevertheless, she manages to slip her way into the meta with her many qualities that allow her to shine in many teams.

Kokomi can work as a main DPS, enabler, full-time healer, or even a buffer (with specific builds). For players who are wondering how they should build the Watatsumi Priestess, here's a guide on Kokomi build in Genshin Impact.

Here's a Genshin Impact tier list to help players see who's in the meta and who isn't.

Updated May 29, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah: Kokomi has gone a long way since her release. With the Dendro reactions release and many years' worth of new content, Kokomi still has excellent healing alongside a respectable DMG output. She can still handle both the role of a healer and a DPS at the same time, and that's what players should target when building her.

Kokomi Best Artifact In Genshin Impact

Building Kokomi’s artifact sets in Genshin Impact heavily relies on her role. The best artifacts for Kokomi are Ocean-Hued Clam, as the set allows her to deal large Hydro and Physical DMG while healing at the same time. Players can go for Heart of Depth, which only enhances Kokomi’s Hydro DMG, but is still acceptable if players don’t have an Ocean-Hued Clam set. Although the Ocean-Hued Clam set will not directly enhance Kokomi’s DMG, like Heart of Depths, it will accumulate Kokomi's healing over three seconds and deal great Physical DMG afterward. Every time the set deals DMG, players can expect more than 25k DMG in a small AoE. But note that the AoE of this equipment is quite small, so Kokomi should be positioned accordingly.

For other options, the Tenacity of the Millelith set is a good source of DMG buff, especially if players can continuously refresh Kokomi’s Elemental Skill. Hitting a target with an Elemental Skill will increase the ATK of nearby party members by 20% for three seconds. The extra max HP will make Kokomi's Elemental Skill and Burst more powerful, while the ATK buff will increase the effectiveness of the entire party.

Ineffa provides damage bonuses for Lunar-Charged reaction in Genshin Impact, so including Hydro characters in Ineffa team comps is highly recommended.

When playing in a Bloom team in Genshin Impact, players can build Kokomi with the Flower of Paradise Lost set. It’s specifically made for Dendro Core reactions and would greatly enhance them when Kokomi triggers them.

Finally, as a last resort, players can build Kokomi as a dedicated healer with the Maiden Beloved set, but it’s not recommended, as Kokomi can do much more than just healing.

Kokomi Best Weapon In Genshin Impact

kokomi best weapon in genshin impact

The best weapon for Kokomi in Genshin Impact is Everlasting Moonglow. The weapon grants HP sub-stats, which greatly benefit Kokomi, as her DMG scales with HP. Meanwhile, the passive effect increases Kokomi’s Healing Bonus while increasing her Normal DMG and restoring Energy when she hits a target. This allows the Priestess to have her Elemental Burst constantly, so she can dominate the field with her presence.

Considering that some players may not get Everlasting Moonglow for Kokomi, they can opt for Prototype Amber as a F2P alternative. This 4-star F2P Catalyst provides everything Kokomi needs, including HP, minor Healing, and Energy restoration. Ring of Yaxche is also one of the best Catalysts for Kokomi in Genshin Impact, as it buffs her Normal attack DMG directly by scaling it with her Max HP. A more straight-to-the-point weapon that helps her shine as a DPS.

Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is a 3-Star option for Kokomi. It can be acquired very easily and also grants HP as its second stat. The weapon’s passive grants characters switching in a big ATK% buff. This is useful for Kokomi to operate as a buffer when she’s using the Tenacity of the Millelith set.

Ineffa needs to have offensive stats like ATK and Crit from her weapons in Genshin Impact.

Alternatively, if players want a more team-wide buffing Catalyst for Kokomi, then go for Hakushin Ring. As long as Kokomi triggers electro-charged, she will constantly grant Electro and Hydro DMG buffs to the whole party.

Kokomi Talent Priority In Genshin Impact

Kokomi’s talent priority in Genshin Impact would be Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. However, if Kokomi is only a healer support, then Burst and Normal Attack can be ignored.

Kokomi Talent Level Recommendation:

  • Normal Attack: 10
  • Elemental Skill: 10
  • Elemental Burst: 10
