Kokomi is arguably the most dependable healing character in Genshin Impact. Her Elemental Skill allows her to summon the Bake-Kurage to deal off-field Hydro damage and heal nearby enemies. This is quite useful for triggering reactions and ensuring the team’s survival.
As for Kokomi’s Elemental Burst, it is quite powerful. Not only does it buff the damage of her Normal Attacks and Elemental Skill, but it also refreshes the Bake-Kurage duration. Moreover, it also allows her to restore HP after using Normal and Charged Attacks. This provides a huge boost to her damage and healing potential at once.
How to Play Kokomi
Here’s how to play Kokomi within your rotations:
- Upon taking the field, use Elemental Skill to summon Bake-Kurage to the field.
- Then switch to another character and continue with your rotations.
- When needed, switch to Kokomi and cast Elemental Burst. This will refresh the duration of Bake-Kurage and give you a few seconds of extra damage.
Should you pull Kokomi?
Yes, Kokomi is definitely worth pulling if you are in need of a dependable healer. Not only does she provide immense healing that is more than enough to ensure your characters don’t get knocked out, but she can deal decent damage herself under the influence of her Elemental Burst.
Best Weapons for Kokomi Build in Genshin Impact
As you would expect, the best weapon for a Kokomi build will be her signature 5-star Catalyst, Everlasting Moonglow. It is tailor-made for her and provides her with significant HP. If you do not have it, here are some other weapons worth considering:
| Weapon | Rarity and How to Get | Advantages |
|---|---|---|
 Everlasting Moonglow | 5-star; Gacha | • Provides HP. • Offers Healing Bonus and Normal Attack DMG Bonus. • Restores Energy. |

Best Artifacts for Kokomi Build in Genshin Impact
We suggest you opt for the Ocean-Hued Clam for your Kokomi build. It will provide you with some Healing Bonus and let you deal some additional damage. Other than that, the Tenacity of the Millelith can be a good choice to get extra HP.
| Artifact Set | How to Get | Effect |
|---|---|---|
 Ocean-Hued Clam | Slumbering Court Domain, Inazuma | Inazuma • 2-Piece: Healing Bonus +15%. • 4-Piece: When the character equipping this artifact set heals a character in the party, a Sea-Dyed Foam will appear for 3 seconds, accumulating the amount of HP recovered from healing (including overflow healing). At the end of the duration, the Sea-Dyed Foam will explode, dealing DMG to nearby opponents based on 90% of the accumulated healing. (This DMG is calculated similarly to Reactions such as Electro-Charged and Superconduct, but is not affected by Elemental Mastery, Character Levels, or Reaction DMG Bonuses). Only one Sea-Dyed Foam can be produced every 3.5 seconds. Each Sea-Dyed Foam can accumulate up to 30,000 HP (including overflow healing). There can be no more than one Sea-Dyed Foam active at any given time. This effect can still be triggered even when the character who is using this artifact set is not on the field. |
 Tenacity of the Millelith | Ridge Watch Domain, Liyue | • 2-Piece: HP +20%. • 4-Piece: When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, the ATK of all nearby party members is increased by 20% and their Shield Strength is increased by 30% for 3s. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s. This effect can still be triggered even when the character who is using this artifact set is not on the field. |
Main Stats Priority
- Sands: HP
- Goblet: HP
- Circlet: HP / Healing Bonus
Sub-Stats Priority

- EM
Considering all of Kokomi’s healing scales off her HP, it is important to provide her with a lot of this stat. Other than that, aim to build around 180% to 200% Energy Recharge so you can use her Elemental Burst often.
