Build Notes

Hello,

I wanted to share an AP build for Kiriko. I'll try to reach Legend this season with Kiriko. That's why this build will be updated regularly.

❓WHY I USE AN ABILITY POWER (AP%) KIRIKO BUILD INSTEAD OF AN WEAPON POWER (WP%) ONE?

  • [Donut Delivery] has been hard buffed. It's a strong item because:
  1. Reducing the cooldown is the most important part of the Kiriko clone build. Now, [Donut Delivery] has a 10% cooldown reduction so it can be taken.
  2. It gives a huge amount of healing to your team so you can hardly all the time throw kunais.
  3. This item gives more ultimate charge and credits because of the new source of healing you have.
  4. It's AoE so you can massively heal people.
  5. This item will probably survive to the next incoming nerfs because it has just been buffed.
  • Also, buffing AP% also buffs the suzus which gives more emergency sustain for you and your team.

  • You can also use some items that scale on AP% so let your creativity guides you.

  • You can counter WP% clone build in most case with the burst heal you create.

BUT, WP% Kiriko clone has a big advantage compared to AP%: The clone deals more damage. So your job is to focus more on damage :P

LAST UPDATES

27/06/2025:

  1. Make it more consistent round 2 and 3.
  2. Adding sometimes [Eye of the Yokai] to allow more clutch play.
  3. Adding [Talisman of Life] since round 6 because it fits very well in an AP% build.

28/06/2025: [Clone Conjuration] has been nerfed BUT the nerf reduce the value of the WP% clone builds more than the AP% clone builds.

POWER

  • [Clone Conjuration]: This power has been nerf but the nerf has more impact for WP% clone builds more than AP% clone builds so we can keep it.

  • [Weapon Grease]
  • [Armored Vest]

Tried this build out when the nerf came out, you can definitely tell the clone's duration difference but this build outputs HUGE healing numbers with room to dps. haven't been able to try it out against wp kiri but hope to see it still be just as good!

I'm also trying to reach Legend! I've been playing for a few hours and I'm pro 2 already just by dpsing with my own build, but I wanted to seek some variety for when the incoming nerf hits, so I tried this one. Only one game, but it was pretty good! Enemy Kiriko (who went clone dps) couldn't do a thing and ultimately tried to copy the build only to fail. Will keep using it for a few more games to see how it holds up. Thanks for sharing, best of luck in your own Legend journey!
