At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Rosaria
- Ravaging Confession swiftly shifts her position to appear behind her opponent, then stabs and slashes them with her.
- Rites of Termination summons an Ice Lance that strikes the ground in front of her, both dealing Cryo DMG.
- Natural fit for Cryo Sub-DPS slots without forcing a weird team shape.
- Needs honest Energy Recharge or a battery friend before the kit feels smooth.
- Constellation breakpoints matter more than the C0 kit advertises.
Ganyu
- Trail of the Qilin deals AoE Cryo DMG that leaves behind an Ice Lotus.
- Celestial Shower summons a Sacred Cryo Pearl that rains down shards of ice, striking opponents for high amounts of.
- Does the Main DPS job with clear Cryo identity rather than vague flex value.
- Energy planning matters — skimping on ER makes Ganyu's Burst feel inconsistent.
- Signature weapon and premium supports still move the needle more than most 4★ kits.
Shared Team Members
With Rosaria
Kokomi provides the consistent Hydro application necessary to maintain Freeze via Rosaria's Rites of Termination. Her Kurage's Oath jellyfish also provides the sustain needed for Rosaria to stay on-field and utilize her CRIT Rate sharing passive effectively.
With Ganyu
Kokomi is a cornerstone of Ganyu's 'Morgana' variations, providing reliable off-field Hydro to keep enemies Frozen during Ganyu's charged shot windows. The healing from her Skill ensures Ganyu isn't interrupted by chip damage while aiming.
