Sangonomiya Kokomi is one of the best healers in Genshin Impact, but what are the best Artifacts, weapons, and team comps you should be using? 

As the leader of Genshin Impact’s Sangonomiya Resistance, Kokomi is well-versed in the art of war. In fact, the 5-star Hydro Catalyst is highly revered for her ability to keep her allies safe from harm’s way, providing them with game-changing heals that can turn the tide of even the fiercest of fights.

The Divine Priestess of Watatsumi Island is no stranger to conflict, and she will stop at nothing to oppose Baal’s Vision Hunt Decree.

Whether you’re running Kokomi as your main DPS or high-damage support, you’ll want to kit her out with the game’s best Artifacts and weapons.

Kokomi abilities in Genshin Impact

Kokomi Genshin ImpactHoYoverse
Kokomi may be a healer, but she still does great damage.

Normal Attack: The Shape of Water

  • Normal Attack: Kokomi performs three consecutive ranged attacks that take on the form of fish, dealing Hydro DMG to any foes that get caught. 
  • Charged Attack: Kokomi consumes some of her stamina and unleashes an AoE blast of hydro directly in front of her. 
  • Plunging Attack: While airborne Kokomi plunges towards the ground, dealing AoE Hyrdro damage to all nearby enemies upon impact. 

Kokomi Elemental Skill: Kurage’s Oath

Kokomi summons Bake-Kurage, which heals all her allies and deals Hydro damage to all enemies within range.

The damage dealt is based around Kokomi’s max health, meaning you’ll want to increase this five-star support’s HP if you wish to deal huge amounts of burst. 

Kokomi Elemental Burst: Nereids Ascension

Kokomi Summons the mighty Watatsumi, dealing huge amounts of Hydro damage to all surrounding enemies. Kokomi’s Normal, Charged, and Elemental Skill deals more damage based on her maximum HP.

If that wasn’t enough, the five-star Catalyst user can also heal nearby allies when any Normal or Charged attacks hit enemies. 

Kokomi Constellations

Lucky enough to get multiple copies of Kokomi? Then you have some great constellation buffs to look forward to.

  • Level 1 — At Water’s Edge: While donning the Ceremonial Garment created by Nereid’s Ascension, Kokomi’s last Normal Attack will unleash a swimming fish that deals 30% of her Max HP as Hydro DMG.
  • Level 2 — The Clouds Like Waves Rippling: Sangonomiya Kokomi gains Healing Bonuses when allied characters have 50% or less HP.
  • Level 3 — The Moon, A Ship O’er the Seas: Increases the Level of Nereid’s Ascension by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
  • Level 4 — The Moon Overlooks the Waters: While donning the Ceremonial Garment created by Nereid’s Ascension, Kokomi’s Normal Attack SPD 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.
  • Level 5 — All Streams Flow to the Sea: Increases the Level of Kurage’s Oath by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
  • Level 6 — Sango Isshin: While donning the Ceremonial Garment created by Nereid’s Ascension, Kokomi gains a 40% Hydro DMG Bonus for 4s after her Normal and Charged Attacks heal a character with 80% or more HP.

Best Kokomi Artifacts in Genshin Impact

Kokomi Gorou Genshin ImpactHoYoverse
Kokomi is the leader of Inazuma’s Resistance against the Raiden Shogun’s Vision Hunt Decree.

The best Kokomi builds are those that utilize Artifacts that increase her Hydro damage, HP, and healing potential. Therefore, we recommend using the 4-piece Ocean-Hued Clam set to increase her healing effectiveness by 15%, in addition to dealing 90% of HP as DMG after restoring the health of a party member.

You could also run the 4-piece Tenacity of the Millelith set to transform Kokomi into a Hydro Support. However, you will have to focus on boosting her Energy Recharge to allow her to use her Elemental Burst more often.

Lastly, you could run the 4-piece Heart of Depth to increase her Hydro DMG, but we recommend the other options over using this Artifact set.

Artifact Set Bonuses
Heart of Depth Genshin ImpactHeart of Depth 2-Piece: Hydro DMG Bonus +15%.
4-Piece: After using an Elemental Skill, increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 30% for 15s.
Ocean-Hued Clam Genshin ImpactOcean-Hued Clam 2-Piece: Healing Bonus +15%
4-Piece: When the character with this artifact set heals a party member, 1 Foam will appear. It accumulates healed HP for 3 seconds, then explodes and deals 90% of the HP healed as DMG to nearby enemies. Max accumulated healing is 30,000 HP, including over-heal. There can only be 1 Foam active, but it stays even if you swap out. Foam CD is 3.5s.
Tenacity of the MillelithTenacity of the Millelith 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.

Best Kokomi weapon in Genshin Impact

Kokomi specializes as a Catalyst character, which enables her to bombard her enemies with some incredibly devastating ranged Hydro attacks. The best weapon for Kokomi is the 5-star Catalyst Everlasting Moonglow to improve her Healing Bonus, Normal Attack DMG, and Energy Regeneration.

Another option is running the 4-star weapon Prototype Amber to allow her Elemental Burst to regenerate energy and HP. Lastly, the 3-star Catalyst Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is actually a great choice if you want Kokomi to increase a character’s ATK.

Weapon Details
Everlasting_MoonglowEverlasting Moonglow Healing Bonus increased by 10%, Normal Attack DMG is increased by 1% of the Max HP of the character equipping this weapon. For 12s after using an Elemental Burst, Normal Attacks that hit opponents will restore 0.6 Energy. Energy can be restored this way once every 0.1s.
Prototype_AmberPrototype Amber Using an Elemental Burst regenerates 4 Energy every 2s for 6s. All party members will regenerate 4% HP every 2s for this duration.
Thrilling_Tales_of_Dragon_SlayersThrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers When switching characters, the new character taking the field has their ATK increased by 24% for 10s. This effect can only occur once every 20s.

Kokomi Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials

While weapons and artifacts will help increase Kokomi’s damage and healing, you’ll need to level up her talents and ascend her if you wish to truly maximize the Divine Priestess’s potential.

Kokomi’s materials are located around Inazuma, which means you’ll likely have the majority of these items if you’ve been playing through all the new content.  You need to fight lots of Specters to farm Spectral Husks, while the Hellfire Butterfly drop comes from the Lv. 70+ Narukami Island: Tenshukaku.

As Kokomi excels at healing her allies, you’ll want to max out her Kurage’s Oath Talent first. Once you’ve maxed her Elemental Skill, we then recommend leveling up her Elemental Burst and Normal Attack. Of course, you can switch this if you wish to make her your main/sub-DPS.

Best Kokomi team comp

Ayaka Genshin ImpactHoYoverse
Ayaka has great synergies with Kokomi.

If you want to run Kokomi as a  support, then you want to focus on creating a Freeze team with Cryo reactions. We recommend using either Ayaka or Ganyu paired alongside Shenhe to take advantage of Kokomi’s Hydro application.

The added Cryo Resonance bonus also raises the CRIT Rate against foes that are Frozen or affected by Cryo by 15%. This will enable you to quickly chew through all your foes in the blink of an eye.

Having an Anemo character like Kazuha or Venti is a great way to sweep enemies off their feet, enabling you to freeze all clustered enemies.

Alternatively, you could run Kokomi on a Bloom team with Nilou, Collei, and Nahida. You could have a couple of replacements for this team, such as Yelan for Nilou and Raiden Shogun for Collei.
