The unkillable strategist vs. the undisputed king of Hydro sub-DPS
Pick Kokomi if…
Pick Xingqiu if…
Kokomi excels in AoE comfort and dedicated healing roles. Xingqiu remains a more versatile and powerful offensive unit for the majority of the game's high-damage compositions.
Kokomi
Xingqiu
With Kokomi
Nahida is a powerful partner for Kokomi, providing consistent off-field Dendro application that enables safe and effective Bloom or Hyperbloom reactions. Kokomi's healing is vital for counteracting the self-damage from Bloom cores, while Nahida's EM sharing boosts the damage of the reactions they trigger. Together, they form a stable and reliable foundation for any Dendro-centric team.
With Xingqiu
Nahida provides Xingqiu's teams with the high-frequency Dendro application required for rapid Hyperbloom or Burgeon reactions. Her Tri-Karma Purification triggers every time Xingqiu's Raincutter swords hit an enemy, ensuring a constant supply of Dendro cores. This synergy is central to some of the most powerful and popular reaction-based compositions in the game.
With Kokomi
Sucrose acts as a powerful driver and buffer for Kokomi, using her Elemental Mastery sharing to increase the damage of Kokomi's Electro-Charged or Bloom reactions. Her grouping and Viridescent Venerer shred significantly boost the team's overall DPS, while Kokomi provides the necessary healing and Hydro application. This duo is a staple for comfortable and high-damage Taser teams.
With Xingqiu
Sucrose is a core component of Xingqiu's Taser teams, where she uses her infused normal attacks and skills to trigger constant Electro-Charged reactions with Xingqiu's Hydro. She provides essential grouping and resistance shred, while her EM sharing increases the damage of all elemental reactions triggered by the team. This synergy results in high sustained AoE damage and crowd control.
