  • i was so upset when shinobu first came out and ppl said she was bad. im glad shes getting love she deserves
  • @n7grey
    Glad to see Kuki gain popularity in the meta
  • @AzureDrag0n1
    Hyperbloom reaction has no ICD on her ring. Since each bloom is its own entity. This substantially allows her to do way more reaction damage. Now she periodically does 60k damage or more since those hyperblooms can target multiple people it will sometimes do 120k damage but 60k is generally the limit against single target. I use her regularly in overworld as she is very comfy and is also not bad in Spiral Abyss.

    idk bout meta and stuff but i paired her with xiao ever since she came out and 1) she provides constant healing which works well to counter xiao's recklessness 2) she provides a good amount of energy. not a lot, but good enough i love her and I'm glad she's being recognized now <3
  • @basedSHARK
    I'm glad Kuki is on the banner with Candace, I was really wanting to pull for Candace before and I really like Kuki's design too.
  • Yeah, Kuki and Yae Miko feel like two units, that were designed with mechanics in mind that we now got with the Sumeru update. So we probably should keep that in mind when looking at new units and their oddities in their kits (here random EM scaling, that needed Dendro to make sense).
  • I'm excited for the "Veggie" comp when Nahida comes out. Kuki=Eggplant Nahida=Radish
  • @jptq39721
    Another great video! I think it was important to point out that Kuki wasn't that great before Dendro. Not that she was terrible, but doing so downplays just how good she is now that Dendro is released. She had quite the glow up in 3.0.
  • Dark Iron Sword on Kuki! Not that much numbers but the drip wins, and she can use it fully!
  • @KenKen-bq1vm
    No one's ever mentioning this but she's pretty good with superconduct teams too. I've been using her for that ever since her release
  • @betitngoan
    her kit makes so much sense with the denro hyberbloom react and she's the goat now!! the best hyberbloom character of the whole game
  • @MaxllmuS
    Kuki has one big advantage over lots of other healers, its her tight black shorts )
  • @derago-dev
    The moment i saw her scaling with EM, i knew exactly what to do... DPS Ayato with Collei to sprout the seeds, and Kuki to activate all of them at once for damage while still giving a decent heal, it's just so beautiful to watch
  • i pulled on kuki her first banner and i have used her in every single abyss ever since, shes an irreplacably good character for my teams. I currently use a Tighnari/Candace/Kuki/Collei Quickswap Hyperbloom team and its incredibly good
  • @godlotus8329
    shinobu went from F tier to low A tier thats a quite jump
  • @Shony338
    I love Shinobu getting notice, I've been running her with Hyperbloom for a while now I love that team Collei C3 as dendro Yelan Kuki Heizou being driver while also lowering hydro res
  • Im planning to run Candace as the Hydro applier and as a on field DPS on a Kuki hyperbloom. Hope it works....i really love Candace's design.
  • @snapedu9166
    I think kuki is an amazing chercter to be added because her niche of being an electro healer needed to be filled so I believe she will see more love from now on cus of her role 💜💜
