Among the many characters inGenshin Impact, Kuki Shinobu stands out as a flexible and unique Electro support unit. While she’s not usually the first character that comes to mind for high-damage teams, she plays a valuable role in reaction-focused compositions and survivability. One topic often asked by players is whether Kuki Shinobu has a specific Trounce Domain or is featured in any weekly boss fight rewards. Understanding her relationship with Trounce Domains can help players optimize their Resin usage, farming routes, and team synergy as they build her up for endgame content.
Does Kuki Shinobu Have a Specific Trounce Domain?
Kuki Shinobu does not have a personal Trounce Domain or a unique weekly boss associated with her. However, like many other characters in the game, her talent level-up materials and ascension items come from certain Trounce Domains that players need to target when building her. It’s essential to know which domains drop the materials she requires to ensure you’re not wasting valuable resources and time farming the wrong bosses.
Relevant Trounce Domains for Kuki Shinobu
While Kuki Shinobu doesn’t have a boss fight connected to her in the storyline like Raiden Shogun or Childe, she still needs materials from weekly bosses. Her talent level-up materials are obtained from specific Trounce Domains located in Inazuma. The required domain is tied to the game’s Electro Archon storyline.
- Boss: Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto (Raiden Shogun Boss)
- Trounce Domain: End of the Oneiric Euthymia (Inazuma)
This domain becomes available after completing the ‘Imperatrix Umbrosa Chapter: Act II Transient Dreams’ Archon Quest. You must complete this story segment to unlock access to the Raiden Shogun weekly boss fight. After unlocking it, players can challenge her once per week and collect the required talent materials for Kuki Shinobu, assuming RNG is favorable.
Kuki Shinobu Talent Materials
To fully level up Kuki Shinobu’s talents, you’ll need to farm several specific materials from Trounce Domains and other content. Let’s take a closer look at what you’ll need, especially from the weekly boss.
Talent Level-Up Materials
- Teachings of Elegance(Monday/Thursday/Sunday domain in Inazuma)
- Gilded Scale(Drop from Raiden Shogun’s Trounce Domain)
- Specter drops(Spectral Husk, Heart, and Nucleus from common enemies)
- Crown of Insight(for level 10 talents, from events or the Frostbearing Tree)
The key material here from the Trounce Domain is the Gilded Scale, which has a chance to drop when defeating the weekly boss. Using Dream Solvent, players can also convert other Raiden Shogun boss materials (Mudra of the Malefic General or Tears of the Calamitous God) into the Gilded Scale if needed.
How to Unlock the Trounce Domain for Kuki Shinobu
If you haven’t yet unlocked the boss fight for the materials Kuki needs, follow these steps:
Unlock Requirements
- Reach Adventure Rank 35 or higher.
- Complete ‘Chapter II: Act III Omnipresence Over Mortals’ (Inazuma Archon Quest).
- Complete ‘Imperatrix Umbrosa Chapter: Act II Transient Dreams.’
Once the story is completed, the End of the Oneiric Euthymia Trounce Domain will appear at the Grand Narukami Shrine area on Narukami Island. From there, you can challenge Raiden Shogun weekly using 30 Resin for the first three weekly bosses and 60 Resin after that.
Best Practices When Farming for Kuki Shinobu
Since Kuki’s materials are spread across both weekly bosses and talent domains, players should plan their Resin usage efficiently throughout the week. Here are a few tips to maximize your efforts:
Weekly Resin Management
- Prioritize the Raiden Shogun Trounce Domain early in the week to avoid Resin overflow.
- Use Dream Solvent wisely to convert boss materials if the drop you need isn’t obtained.
- Stockpile Specter drops from the overworld, as these can be grind-intensive.
- Check your inventory for available Elegance books and plan domain farming days accordingly.
Because Elegance books are available only on certain days, it’s a good idea to farm them on Monday or Thursday to avoid rushing on Sunday, when all books are available but competition for Resin is high due to multiple character builds.
Using Kuki Shinobu in Trounce Domains
Kuki Shinobu is often used as a healer or support character in reaction teams, especially those centered on Hyperbloom, Aggravate, or Overload. While she may not be the strongest DPS unit, she provides valuable healing and Electro application, especially in tough content like weekly bosses.
Recommended Team Compositions
- Hyperbloom Team: Kuki (Electro), Nahida (Dendro), Xingqiu (Hydro), Flex (Anemo or Shield)
- Aggravate Team: Kuki, Fischl, Collei, Sucrose
- Overload Team: Kuki, Xiangling, Bennett, Anemo Support
In Trounce Domains such as Raiden Shogun’s, where there are mechanics that affect party survivability and energy, Kuki’s off-field healing can be a strong asset. Her Elemental Skill scales with HP and can consistently restore health while allowing her to trigger elemental reactions passively.
Tips for Beating Raiden Shogun’s Domain
The End of the Oneiric Euthymia boss fight is one of the more complex weekly bosses due to its multi-phase battle and strong AoE attacks. If you’re farming this domain for Kuki Shinobu’s materials, preparation is essential.
Boss Mechanics Overview
- Raiden Shogun has multiple phases, including a state where she resists all elemental damage briefly.
- She periodically unleashes wide-range Electro slashes that can one-shot under-prepared characters.
- Players must survive her Baleful Omen and Elemental Burst lockdown mechanics.
Combat Strategy
- Bring a strong healer or shield character (e.g., Kuki, Zhongli, or Kokomi).
- Use characters with high mobility to dodge AoE attacks.
- Time your bursts carefully to avoid getting locked out during the boss’s energy suppression phase.
- Electro-resistant enemies make Pyro or Cryo DPS units more effective here.
If Kuki is part of your team for this boss, make sure she has high HP to maximize her healing efficiency and bring an Elemental Mastery build if you’re running Hyperbloom reactions.
While Kuki Shinobu doesn’t have her own unique Trounce Domain, she still relies on materials from one of Genshin Impact’s more challenging weekly bosses. Understanding her connection to the End of the Oneiric Euthymia domain and farming it efficiently is essential for leveling her talents. Whether you’re building her for support, healing, or reaction-based damage, knowing where to get her resources will help you develop her potential faster. With proper planning and a good team composition, farming Kuki Shinobu’s materials can be both manageable and rewarding, helping you make the most out of this versatile Electro character.
