1st | Elemental Skill |

Shinobu's Elemental Skill brings together off-field DMG and healing into one talent. It's arguably her key defining trait and should be leveled up first. Next would be her Elemental Burst while her Normal Attacks can be left alone.

This Shinobu team comp brings together the leader and deputy officer of the Arataki gang! Without a C4 Gorou, the usual problem of an Itto-Gorou team is a lack of healing. Shinobu in the party fixes that issue by providing healing and triggering a Crystalize reaction for shields!

Shinobu in Superconduct teams is a perfect role for her as an off-field Electro support character. By swapping Diona for Shinobu, you can add more Cryo DPS and buffs for Eula's damage.

Shinobu is an excellent choice as the 2nd electro unit for any Electro-Charged team comp. Having Shinobu constantly deal Electro DMG while off-field ensures there isn't any gap in between applying Hydro and Electro!

To Cloister Compassion Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite's AoE is increased by 50%. |

To Sequester Sorrow Increases the Level of Sanctifying Ring by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C4 |

This effect can occur once every 5s. |
C5 |
To Cease Courtesies Increases the Level of Gyoei Narukami Kariyama Rite by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C6 |
To Ward Weakness When Kuki Shinobu takes lethal DMG, this instance of DMG will not take her down. This effect will automatically trigger when her HP reaches 1 and will trigger once every 60s. When shinobu's HP drops below 25%, she will gain 150 Elemental Mastery for 15s. This effect will trigger once every 60s. |
Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |
---|---|---|
C2 | ★★☆ |
• Increases the duration of her Elemental Skill. • Adds 2 extra ticks of healing and Aoe Damage. |
C4 | ★★★ |
• Increases Shinobus off-field DPS capability. • Perfect for Auto Attack based characters. |
Shinobu as a support character is perfectly fine at C0. However, players who want to turn up her DMG as an off-field character should consider unlocking her 4th Constellation. What makes it so good is that you won't need to swap out HP as her Mainstat to deal extra DMG.

Stabs an evil-excoriating blade into the ground, creating a field that cleanses the area of all that is foul, dealing continuous Electro DMG to opponents within its AoE based on Shinobu's Max HP. If Shinobu's HP is less than or equal to 50% when this skill is used, the field will last longer. |

If Kuki Shinobu's current health is less than 50%, the duration is extended. Try to safely keep Kuki Shinobu's health within this range to reap the benefits!
Shinobu will need to use her Elemental Burst first and then Skill to ensure the Favonius Sword's weapon passive triggers consistently. Her Elemental Burst deals multiple instances of damage, so it's better than just waiting for her Elemental Skill to trigger it.

The Arataki Gang is a free and diverse organization that accepts anyone, regardless of their background. Pretty amazing if you ask me. They're lucky to have Shinobu to help keep them all in line. Hmm? How do I know all this? Haha, I mean... as deductions go, this one was pretty elementary. |
![]() |
Nobody questions my leadership in the gang, what I say goes — except when it comes to Shinobu. She's always challenging everything I say. And not only that — all the hard-earned loot I bring back and share with everyone? She goes and returns it! But also, she gets me out of every mess we get ourselves into, so I'll let it slide. Besides, I don't wanna get on her bad side... An angry Shinobu would make my life a nightmare. |
![]() |
With her talent and qualifications, it's a shame she decided to join the Arataki gang. I must concede, however, that at the very lease, her presence has effectively prevented idlers from stirring up trouble and disturbing the public, reducing the burden on the Tenryou Commission. |
![]() |
Doesn't ring a bell, umm... What? Arataki Itto's little sidekick? Ugh, well she's definitely gotta be a sleep disturbance then. Birds of a feather flock together... |
![]() |
I've heard a lot about Miyuki's little sister. Quite the character, I'm told. Although she comes from a family of shrine maidens, she's gone her own way in life - tried her hand at many different trades, studied abroad in Liyue, even ended up joining the Arataki Gang... Fascinating girl. Maybe I should have Miyuki introduce me. Yes, that'll work — Miyuki wouldn't dream of refusing my request. |
![]() |
Shinobu? I remember her, she's the Inazuman girl that came to Liyue as an exchange student to specialize in law. When she was doing her coursework, she used to meet with me to discuss some cases, and after we're done, she'd always bow and thank me, which would make a little embarassed. I always felt like she was going to make an excellent lawyer in the future. Thinking about it, Inazuma went into lockdown right about the time she would have graduated. I wonder how she's been doing since she went back... |

About Heizou He's different from the other Doushin of the Tenryou Commission. I have yet to see him on patrol or apprehend anyone, and he occasionally comes to me to buy intelligence. In exchange, I asked him to put in a good word for me whenever I'm bailing people out of the Police Station. He gladly agreed. I'd say that's a pretty good deal... After all, getting the boys to keep their eyes and ears open on the streets is easy enough. |
![]() |
About Itto The boss has a lot of unpleasant memories from his past, but he still manages to stay positive. I'd say that kind of resilience is pretty rare. He treats us well and his character has a good effect on everyone in the gang. Of course, it's never an excuse for him to run amok with no consideration for others. Just let me know if he ever causes you any trouble and I'll be sure to make him regret ever being rude to you. |
![]() |
About Raiden After the Sakoku Decree was lifted, the Raiden Shogun issued many decrees aimed at supporting the development of various industries. All those certificates I received during the Sakoku Decree are coming in real handy now, and the gang is finally out of the red... Fate really does have its ways. Who would've thought after all that, I'd still have her to thank? |
![]() |
About Sara Madam Kujou? Yes, she's a friend of mine. Hmm? You're surprised that I know her? Oh, you must've misunderstood, I knew her from before I joined the Arataki Gang. Heh, in fact, it's hard to tell who's the winner whenever we spar. |
![]() |
About Yae Miko You can't imagine how boring it is to be a shrine maiden. Even Lady Guuji from the Grand Narukami Shrine has her publishing gig to break up the monotony. I will never go back to being a shrine maiden. Never. |
![]() |
About Yanfei Back then I had an argument with my family and I only wanted to run away as far as I could. So, I went to study law in Liyue, but thanks to this experience, I got to meet Yanfei. She's like a walking law encyclopedia. Huh? Me? I have a certificate but there are a lot of restrictions for practicing law... It's not really the right field for me. |

You kinda gave the answer. She is S because in aggravate teams she does pretty decent off field dmg while being a healer, and in hyperbloom teams she is one of the few electro sub dps able to consistently hit many dendro cores with her E.
