Special Dish
Omurice Waltz: Kuki Shinobu’s specialty. The soft egg skin almost seems to dance upon a stage made from the sauce, with fluffy rice wrapped under its swaying skirt. This would even be a match for the work of Uyuu Restaurant’s head chef. Truly, Shinobu’s chef license was not earned in vain.
Sets to farm for the Kuki Shinobu in Genshin Impact
- 4 pc Tenacity of the Millelith: As a pure Support where the role of Kuki Shinobu is healing the 4 pc Tenacity set provides insane value as not only does it increase her healing capability but also increases the ATK stat of other characters in the party.
- 2 pc Tenacity of the Millelith and 2 pc Thundering Fury: Geared for the support build this is the second-best option if players find it hard to farm four good pieces of Tenacity.
- 2 pc Emblem of Severed Fate and 2 pc Thundering Fury
- 4 pc Emblem of Severed Fate: Another set that is geared for the Sub DPS role since it increases her energy recharge and boosts her burst damage.
- 2 pc Tenacity of the Millelith and 2 pc Noblesse Oblige: For the Sub DPS build 2 pc Tenacity and Noblesse give her balance between healing and bonus damage from her elemental burst and buffing party’s attack stat.
