Genshin Impact Toukabou Shigure best character

The best characters for Toukabou Shigure in Genshin Impact are Kazuha, Keqing, Nilou, Kuki Shinobu, and Traveler (Dendro). While these are the best characters to use the new event weapon on, given Toukabou Shigure’s limitations as a single-target option, it’s not a best-in-slot weapon for any character.

Toukabou Shigure works well on Kazuha, Keqing, Nilou, Kuki Shinobu, and Traveler (Dendro) because it provides an Elemental Mastery boost as a sub-stat, while also providing a damage boost through its unique ability. Therefore, characters that benefit from EM, such as Kazuha, as well characters that make extensive use of Elemental Reactions like Kazuha, Kuki Shinobu or the Dendro Traveler, are better suited to the Toukabou Shigure event sword.
