Genshin Impact 4★ Electro Sword Healer
Key of Khaj-Nisut is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Kuki Shinobu's kit multiplies HP, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Primordial Jade Cutter, Serenity's Call and Splendor of Tranquil Waters come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Kuki Shinobu, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Thundering Fury on Kuki Shinobu, with Vourukasha's Glow and Song of Days Past behind it. Main stats are HP% sands, HP% goblet, Healing Bonus circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > HP% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.
Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
Kuki Shinobu plays Support in the Lauma team, alongside Lauma, Columbina and Yelan.
Normal Attack Performs up to 4 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Kuki Shinobu is a 4-star Electro character from Inazuma who uses a sword, released in version 2.7.
Kuki Shinobu's abilities multiply HP. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Key of Khaj-Nisut is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star sword with HP as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on HP. Serenity's Call is the best 4-star alternative.
Thundering Fury. Its 2-piece bonus is: Electro DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: Increases the DMG caused by Overloaded, Electro-Charged, Superconduct, and Hyperbloom by 40%, the DMG Bonus conferred by Aggravate by 20%, and the DMG caused by Lunar-Charged and Stellar-Conduct by 20%. When Quicken or the aforementioned Elemental Reactions are triggered, Elemental Skill CD is decreased by 1s. Can only occur once every 0.8s.
