Mihoyo shared some important pieces of information about Sangonomiya Kokomi, the Divine Priestess of Watatsumi Island. Players were more than hyped for this character due to her excellent aesthetics and animations – but now most of the fans plan to skip Kokomi’s Banner.

Kokomi is a boosted Barbara?

Kokomi will be a hydro visioned catalyst healer, and her skills are fairly similar to Barbara’s abilities – who is also a hydro visioned, catalyst user healer. Both characters use hydro attacks, which are healing party members at the same time. Both of their Elemental Skill is a heal (for Kokomi it does some AoE hydro damage as well), which apply wet status on the character, and both of their Elemental Burst is a huge  heal (for Kokomi it’s also a self-buff to deal more damage, and attacks produce strong heals). So similar abilities, but at first sight Kokomi seems like a strong sub-DPS with amazing heals, why would anyone use any other healer/support characters, like Qiqi, Diona, Jean, or Barbara?
