Sangonomiya Kokomi has gone a long way since her release in Genshin Impact. Initially deemed as underwhelming, Kokomi quickly climbed her way to the meta. The Watatsumi Priestess is an amazing healer with great DPS potential. Players can use Kokomi as a healer, enabler, buffer, Sub-DPS, or Main-DPS.

Now that Kokomi is a more popular Genshin Impact character, those who miss out on her should consider getting Sangonomiya Kokomi on her next rerun. As for people who already have the Priestess at C0, then they should learn what Kokomi's Constellations do in Genshin Impact.

Are Kokomi’s Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?

Sangonomiya Kokomi can work perfectly even at C0. Her Constellations increase her damage-dealing abilities, but they're not really necessary. Kokomi's best Constellation lies in her C4 and C6. If players don't have enough Primogems to reach that far, then it's best not to pull for Kokomi's Genshin Impact Constellations.

C1 - At Water's Edge

C1 Kokomi from Genshin Impact
  • Effect: During Kokomi’s Burst duration, the final Normal attack in Sangonomiya Kokomi's combo will unleash a swimming fish to deal 30% of her Max HP as Hydro Dmg. This Dmg is not considered a Normal Attack Dmg.
  • Importance: Medium

While this effect looks good on paper, players should remember that Kokomi isn’t meant to Crit. So the additional damage from this Constellation is like one additional Normal Attack hit.

C2 - The Clouds Like Waves Rippling

C2 Kokomi from Genshin Impact
  • Effect: Characters with 50% or less HP gain healing bonuses from Sangonomiya Kokomi's Elemental Skill and Burst. Her Skill provides an extra 4.5% healing of her max HP. While during the duration of Kokomi’s Burst, her Normal and Charged attacks will heal an extra 0.6% of her max HP.
  • Importance: Low

The extra healing is an amazing effect in bad situations, but most of the time, Genshin Impact players will find their character in full HP, limiting this effect’s usefulness.

C4 - The Moon Overlooks the Waters

C4 Kokomi from Genshin Impact
  • Effect: During Kokomi’s Elemental Burst duration, her Normal attacks speed is increased by 10%, and Normal attacks that hit opponents will restore 0.8 Energy for her. This effect can occur once every 0.2s.
  • Importance: Priority

Kokomi’s damage dealing relies highly on her Elemental Burst, so this effect is a priority. Combining this Constellation with her best-in-slot Genshin Impact Catalyst, Everlasting Moonglow, allows Kokomi to continuously regain her Energy without needing a Battery in the team.

C6 - Sango Isshin

C6 Kokomi from Genshin Impact
  • Effect: During Kokomi’s Elemental Burst duration, She gains a 40% Hydro Dmg Bonus for 4s when her Normal and Charged Attacks heal or would heal any party member with 80% or more HP.
  • Importance: High

As Kokomi and her teammates can easily reach 80% once the Priestess starts healing, players are pretty much guaranteed to always get the 40% Hydro Dmg Bonus from this Genshin Impact Constellation. The only downside is that it can be hard to get this far, as players will have to gain six copies of Sangonomiya Kokomi.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
