Kuki Shinobu: The Arataki Gang’s Capable Deputy
Play Genshin Impact‘s hangout events to get to know your characters better. They work like a choose-your-own-adventure book with multiple endings. To unlock Kuki Shinobu’s hangout event, you must first complete the archon quest interlude “Perilous Trail”, Itto’s story quest, and reach adventure rank 40. For this guide, important route-locking choices are marked in orange.
Kuki Shinobu is a 4-star Electro character from Inazuma who wields a sword in battle. Shinobu is a very competent person with certifications in many different fields; among other things, she’s studied law in Liyue under Yanfei. Instead of focusing on one repetitive job, she prefers the flexibility and freedom of doing odd jobs as a member of the Arataki Gang, even if this means her business card is overflowing with tons of titles, and even if this means she always has to drag Itto and crew out of trouble. The gang may be idiots, but they’re her idiots. They welcomed her with open arms and irreplaceable sincerity, and Shinobu would never turn her back on that… right? Let’s see what happens in Kuki Shinobu’s hangout event!
“Whether you are in the Arataki Gang or not, I’ll never treat you as an outsider. Just go ahead and leave the logistics and planning to me. Trust me, I’m an expert. I can handle anything, no matter how complicated it might seem. Huh? You’re concerned about my safety? Hehe, don’t worry, all these years of experience aren’t just for show.”
-Shinobu
