Since arriving in September, Genshin's 2.1 update "Floating World Under the Moonlight" has brought tons of new features to the game with the addition of Watatsumi and Seirai islands, as well as a fishing system, powerful bosses , and finally, four other characters.
Now, with Phase II about to begin, the Raiden Shogun and his loyal servant Kujou Sara will both say goodbye to Limited Banners, making way for the beginnings of a new adventurer.
Originally from Watatsumi Island, she is known for her delicate and graceful way of being, but inside she hides a very tactical and skillful person, as she is the leader of a resistance that fights against the goals of the shogunate. Introducing the “Pearl of Wisdom” Sangonomiya Kokomi.
Sangonomiya Kokomi – History and Origins
To talk about the origins of Sangonomiya Kokomi, we must go back to the time when the inhabitants of Watatsumi Island lived in an underwater civilization, known as Enkanomiya. The legend says that "only by the grace of the god Orobaxi who brought them to the surface, the people of this place exist today".
Most people in Watatsumi can see this every day, as Orobaxi's skeleton gave birth to the Tatarigami region, after being killed by the Electro Archon during the Archon War. Since that day, the Sangonomiya clan has dedicated themselves across generations to protect the island, no matter the cost.
As the current heiress of this lineage, Sangonomiya Kokomi inherits the will of a god in the body of a mortal, thus her role as Divine Priestess. Still, even though her appearance makes her look like a peaceful person instead of a war commander, don't let that fool you.
A crucial element in the total protection of Watatsumi Island, the "Pearl of Wisdom" has shown all its talents as a born leader, developing the region as a whole through its directives, taking into account all possible scenarios. supported by her. extensive knowledge of military strategies and the art of war.

With her elemental skill, Kurage's Oath, Kokomi will summon a "Bake-Kurage" created from water that inflicts Hydro DMG on surrounding opponents, but also heals nearby characters based on her max HP at intervals fixed. Doing this skill will also apply a Wet status to it.
With her Elemental Burst, Nereid's Ascension, Kokomi will summon the power of Watatsumi, inflicting Hydro DMG on all nearby enemies before dressing her in Sangonomiya's Flowing Water Ceremonial Vestment.

eternal moonlight
Starting with the best 5-star weapon, a new catalyst will be available to coincide with its debut known as Everlasting Moonglow. This weapon is part of the Inazuma series, shining with pure moon-like radiance, and ever so distant, being the signature option of the Divine Priestess.
It comes with a special passive called Byakuya Kougetsu, which increases healing by 10/12,5/15/17,5/20% and normal attack DMG by 1/1,5/2/2,5/ 3% based on character's max HP.
