With the beta test of 2.7 update underway, several leaks revolving around Kuki Shinobu in Genshin Impact have been flooding the Reddit as well as the Twitter community. One latest rumor about the upcoming character also revealed her combat role.

Genshin Impact still holds a list of characters that are yet to become playable. While some of the characters have been teased by the developers themselves, the rest of them have been popping out through leaks. This article covers details on the recently introduced character, Kuki Shinobu in Genshin Impact.

Kuki Shinobu in Genshin Impact: Combat role explained

Hours after releasing the character teaser for our new 5-star Hydro character Ayato, Genshin Impact also teased two new characters which had been anticipated by the fans for quite a while. One is the Hydro-bow character, Yelan who as per the leaks is a 5-star character and another is Kuki Shinobu who is said to be a 4-star character.

While Yelan’s model was leaked few days ago, the revelation of Kuki Shinobu whose design remained a mystery for quite a few updates took the fans by surprise. Her game description designates her as the Deputy of the Arataki Gang which makes her closely related to Arataki Itto, a playable Geo character that was released in 2.3 update.

Since she was acquainted with Itto, many players considered her to be a Geo support character but the 2.7 update leaks as well as the character art confirm Kuki Shinobu in Genshin Impact as an Electro sword character similar to Keqing. As per UBatcha, she is going to play the combat role of a healer but this information is subjected to change.

If Kuki Shinobu in Genshin Impact indeed becomes an Electro healer, she will be a first of its kind character as the game currently does not have any Electro healer. As the 4-star character’s kit is yet to be leaked, players should take this information with a bit of skepticism.

Several leaks have confirmed Kuki Shinobu in Genshin Impact to release in the second phase of the 2.7 update with an unknown character rerun banner, most probably it could be Arataki Itto but no accurate information is available yet. If the 21 day banner cycle of the game is to be considered, the character could release around June 7.
