Kokomi’s Talents
The Shape of Water
The Shape of Water is Kokomi’s normal, charged, and plunging attack. She can perform up to three normal attacks that apply the Hydro element to the enemies. Her charged attack uses Stamina and deals AoE Hydro damage to enemies.
Kurage’s Oath
Kurage’s Oath is Kokomi’s elemental skill. Activating this elemental skill will allow her to summon the Bake-Kurage. The Bake-Kurage will deal Hydro damage to enemies at intervals. It will also heal nearby party members based on Kokomi’s maximum HP. The skill will apply the Hydro element to Kokomi as well, so be sure to avoid any Cryo element to prevent getting frozen.
Nereid’s Ascension
Nereid’s Ascension is Kokomi’s elemental burst. Using this skill will deal Hydro damage to surrounding enemies and grant Kokomi a Ceremonial Garment. The Ceremonial Garment will increase the damage of Kokomi’s attacks based on her maximum health. Whenever her attacks hit enemies, she will heal her party members. She also gains increased resistance to interruption and it allows her to walk through any water surface. Her ceremonial garment will disappear once she leaves the field.

This passive is unlocked at Ascension Phase 1. Whenever Sangonomiya Kokomi has her Bake-Kurage on the field activated and uses her elemental burst, the duration of the Bake-Kurage is refreshed with no cost.
Song of Pearls
You can unlock this passive on Ascension Phase 4. Whenever Kokomi has a Ceremonial Garment, her attacks will get bonus damage based on 15% of her healing stat.
Princess of Watatsumi
The Princess of Watatsumi is Sangonomiya Kokomi’s utility passive. Whenever your party members swim, they get a 20% decrease in stamina consumption. However, you cannot stack this effect with similar passives.

Team Compositions
Cryo Team
One of the best team compositions for Kokomi is the Cryo Team. Adding Ayaka to your team will allow you to permanently freeze enemies because Kokomi does not have to be on the field to constantly apply Hydro to enemies. You can also add Diona to the team to increase your CRIT chance and an Anemo character like Venti or Kazuha can pull in enemies while Ayaka acts as your main DPS. Kokomi will be both your Sub-DPS and healer, alongside Diona.
Free to Play
If you have unlocked the Inazuma region and have the Electro Traveler, you can use Kaeya and Lisa alongside Kokomi to create a Superconduct team. Kaeya can free enemies while Lisa and the Electro traveler will be your main DPS. Kaeya is also a great battery for the team. Kokomi will act as your healer and Hydro applicator to enemies, allowing for an Electro-charged elemental reaction.
Electro Charged Team
This Electro-Charged Team is great for defeating multiple enemies at once. Your main DPS in this team will be Beidou. Fischl will act as your battery and Kazuha can pull in enemies using his skills. Both Kokomi and Fischl do not have to be on the field to apply the Hydro and Electro elements on enemies. Kokomi can also constantly heal Beidou without being on the field.
Summary
Kokomi is a Hydro character that is great as a healer and support. She has a unique passive that increases her healing capabilities but decreases her CRIT rate by 100%. Because of this, you should prioritize other stats when building Kokomi. She scales well if you focus on increasing her maximum HP and healing bonus. Kokomi does not have to be on the field to apply the Hydro element on enemies as well.
