Notes
Aggravate adds flat damage to the triggering Electro attack that scales off Elemental Mastery and levels, which essentially allows Kuki Shinobu's personal damage to become relevant while also filling the role of a healer in the team.
Regarding Weapon Choices:
Freedom-Sworn: While not having the highest personal damage it makes up for it in overall team damage through its competitive buffs.
Primordial Jade Cutter: Has the highest personal damage of any weapon on Kuki Shinobu but little to no utility, which means it usually falls behind in overall team damage.
Key of Khaj-Nisut: On paper combines a mixture of high personal damage with team buffs to potentially be her best weapon if you manage to get it fully stacked. This is usually an unrealistic scenario though with it taking up to 2-3 rotations to fully stack or forcing you to stay on-field to let it stack which is usually a net DPS loss.
Regarding Artifact Choices:
Sets
Thundersoother (4): It's potentially your BIS set if you can maintain a constant Electro aura or near that, to be this consistent usually takes up to 3 Electro units (or possibly 2 Electro units and an Anemo unit like Kaedehara Kazuha or Venti swirling Electro)
