Kokomi had a rough debut inGenshin Impactas 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 onKokomi build inGenshin Impact.
Updated July 08, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:Kokomi has gone a long way since her release. With theDendro reactions releaseand 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 inGenshin Impactheavily relies on her role. The best artifacts for Kokomi areOcean-Hued Clam, as the set allows her to deallarge Hydro and Physical DMGwhile healing at the same time. Players can go forHeart 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, theTenacity of the Millelithset is agood 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.
When playing in a Bloom team inGenshin Impact, players can build Kokomi with theFlower of Paradise Lostset. It’s specifically made for Dendro Core reactions and would greatly enhance them when Kokomi triggers them.
Finally, as a last resort, players canbuild Kokomi as a dedicated healerwith theMaiden Belovedset, but it’s not recommended, as Kokomi can do much more than just healing.
Kokomi Best Weapon In Genshin Impact
The best weapon for Kokomi inGenshin ImpactisEverlasting Moonglow. The weapon grants HP sub-stats, which greatly benefit Kokomi, asher 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 forPrototype Amberas a F2P alternative. This 4-star F2P Catalyst provides everything Kokomi needs, including HP, minor Healing, and Energy restoration.Ring of Yaxcheis also one of thebest Catalysts for Kokomi inGenshin 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 Slayersis 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.
Alternatively, if players want a more team-wide buffing Catalyst for Kokomi, then go forHakushin Ring. As long asKokomi triggers electro-charged, she will constantly grant Electro and Hydro DMG buffs to the whole party.
