New BoughSword★★★★

New Bough

Released Sep 23, 2026Sword that builds short-lived ATK and Elemental Mastery stacks after Skill use and a subsequent hit.Guide

New Bough is a four-star sword with CRIT DMG as its secondary stat. In its standard effect, using an Elemental Skill opens a 12-second window for attacks to build Verdant stacks, each granting ATK and Elemental Mastery. Its listed Radiance: Stellar Glimmer version changes the stack effect. Consider it when the wielder can land attacks soon after using a Skill and benefits from the relevant stats.

AlyoshaElectro★★★★

Alyosha

Released Aug 12, 2026Electro field controller whose marked-target companion attacks and restores HP to nearby active characters.Guide

Alyosha is an Electro polearm user whose skill applies Hunter's Mark and whose burst summons Tugarin into a taunting field. Tugarin attacks nearby opponents every two seconds, prioritizes marked opponents, and restores HP to nearby active characters at 120% of Alyosha's ATK. The burst costs 70 Energy. His skill has a tap AoE mode and a hold aiming mode that increases his interruption resistance while aiming.

Clash of KingsCatalyst★★★★

Clash of Kings

Released Aug 12, 2026Catalyst for a character who can use both ATK and Elemental Mastery and activate the passive with an Elemental Skill.Guide

Clash of Kings is a 4-star Catalyst with CRIT Rate as its secondary stat. At R1, using an Elemental Skill grants 20% ATK and 100 Elemental Mastery for 6 seconds. A Charged Attack hit during that effect can extend it by up to 6 seconds total, making it relevant when a character can use both bonuses and fit Charged Attacks into their field time.

Covenant of Frost and SnowBow★★★★

Covenant of Frost and Snow

Released Aug 12, 2026Elemental Mastery bow for Skill-triggered reaction damageGuide

Covenant of Frost and Snow is a 4-star bow with 42.401 base ATK and DEF as its secondary stat. Its passive grants the wielder 120 Elemental Mastery for 12 seconds after they use an Elemental Skill at R1, rising to 240 at R5. Consider it when the wielder can use Skills regularly and benefits from Elemental Mastery; its passive does not increase damage directly for every build, and the DEF secondary stat may not support an ATK-focused damage setup.

EmberwellSword★★★★

Emberwell

Released Aug 12, 2026Reaction-oriented four-star sword with Elemental Mastery and conditional ATK or Stellar Glimmer reaction damage buffs. Consider it when the wielder can trigger reactions regularly and benefits from those stats.Guide

Emberwell rewards reaction triggers, including off-field triggers. At R1, triggering an Elemental Reaction raises the wielder’s ATK by 16% for 12 seconds; triggering Stellar Glimmer also raises that reaction’s damage by 16% for 12 seconds. Both effects can trigger off-field. Its Elemental Mastery secondary stat supports reaction-focused use, while the ATK effect fits characters whose damage scales with ATK.

Exaiphanes BladeSword★★★★★

Exaiphanes Blade

Released Aug 12, 2026Traveler-exclusive sword with CRIT Rate and hit-triggered ATK and Energy effects; higher refinements add CRIT DMG based on elements the Traveler has resonated with. Consider it when the Traveler is wielding it and its hit cadence or resonance scaling matches the intended use.Guide

Exaiphanes Blade’s passive is restricted to the Traveler. At R1, hitting an opponent increases the Traveler’s ATK by 16% for eight seconds and restores three Energy, once every five seconds; the trigger works off-field. From R2 onward, the description adds CRIT DMG based on the number of elements the Traveler has resonated with, while the hit-triggered ATK and Energy effect also improves. Its CRIT Rate secondary stat makes it a personal, conditional option rather than a general sword passive for any character.

OdetteCryo★★★★★

Odette

Released Aug 12, 2026Cryo sword character with a summoned attacker and Stellar reaction damageGuide

Odette deals Cryo damage with her sword and skills, summons a Solo Dance Double that periodically attacks nearby enemies, and temporarily changes her skill into a duet attack after using her skill or burst. Consider her when you can make use of the Stellar-Conduct or Stellar Swirl mechanics described in her kit; those reaction effects have specific field and trigger conditions.

A Teaspoon of TranscendenceClaymore★★★★★

A Teaspoon of Transcendence

Released Jul 1, 2026ATK and reaction-focused Claymore that rewards Charged Attack hitsGuide

A Teaspoon of Transcendence is a 5-star Claymore with CRIT DMG as its secondary stat. It grants ATK and builds a short-lived bonus to Stellar-Conduct and Stellar Swirl reaction damage when the wielder’s Charged Attacks hit opponents. Consider it when the wielder can use those reactions and land Charged Attack hits often enough to build and refresh the bonus. The reaction bonus does not describe a general increase to all damage.

SandroneCryo★★★★★

Sandrone

Released Jul 1, 2026Cryo damage dealer with a reaction-focused Radiance stateGuide

Sandrone is a 5-star Cryo claymore character who uses charged attacks to control Fagio's firing modes, while her skill provides mobility and Prism Shots. Consider her when you can use her Radiance states: Stellar-Conduct strengthens Superconduct, and Stellar Swirl strengthens Cryo Swirl after a nearby party member triggers it. Her mechanics reward managing Fagio's Decoding Power and timing her burst with Refined Tactics stacks.

Disaster and RemorsePolearm★★★★★

Disaster and Remorse

Released Jun 9, 2026On-field polearm damage weapon with alternating attack-type bonusesGuide

Disaster and Remorse is a 5-star polearm whose Skill-triggered effect rewards an on-field wielder who alternates Normal or Charged Attacks with Skill or Burst hits. It grants separate, short-lived bonuses for those two attack categories, then extends each bonus through hits from the opposite category. Consider it when the wielder can use both types of attacks and remain on field during its 17-second effect window.

Celestial GiftArtifact sets★★★★★

Celestial Gift

Introduced in Luna VIIElemental damage support artifact setGuide

Celestial Gift combines Energy Recharge with a conditional party Elemental DMG Bonus. Its four-piece effect requires the wearer to have completed Witch's Homework and use an Elemental Skill; with Hexerei: Secret Rite in the party, the effect upgrades to grant bonuses for the wearer's element and the active party member's element. Consider it when those progression and party conditions are met and the party can use the resulting element bonuses.

NicolePyro★★★★★

Nicole

Released May 20, 2026Pyro catalyst support who grants ATK, creates a shield, and enables coordinated attacks from active party members during her burst. Consider Nicole when you want protection and ATK support alongside follow-up damage that uses the active attacker’s Elemental type and ATK.Guide

Nicole’s skill grants nearby party members Grace of Kenosis, an ATK bonus, and a shield that scales from her ATK. Her burst enters Silent Contemplation, where active party members’ hits can call Arcane Projections. Her passives upgrade ATK buffs under specific on-field and Elemental damage conditions.

PruneAnemo★★★★

Prune

Released May 20, 2026Anemo catalyst character whose burst follows the active character and whose converted hammer hits can grant nearby teammates a short damage bonus. Consider Prune when you can trigger Swirl or Stellar Swirl to convert her hammer and activate her support effect.Guide

Prune combines Anemo attacks with a conditional elemental conversion. Her skill can change into a converted hammer strike after she triggers Swirl or Stellar Swirl with it. Her burst summons a bell that follows the active character, and its Swirl reactions can create additional converted hammer hits. Those hits enable a five-second party damage bonus based on Prune's ATK.

Golden Frostbound OathBow★★★★★

Golden Frostbound Oath

Released Apr 8, 2026CRIT DMG bow that boosts Geo and Lunar-Crystallize damage after Skill or Lunar-Crystallize hits, with an additional nearby-party buff when Moondrifts are present. Consider it for a bow wielder whose damage and party use these specific conditions.Guide

Golden Frostbound Oath is a highly conditional Geo support and damage bow. It grants DEF, then its wielder’s Elemental Skill or Lunar-Crystallize hit activates six seconds of personal Geo DMG and Lunar-Crystallize reaction damage bonuses. If Moondrifts are near the wielder during that effect, other nearby party members gain smaller bonuses to those same damage categories. The weapon’s unusual combination of CRIT DMG secondary stat, DEF increase, Geo-specific damage, and Moondrift condition makes the intended role narrow.

LinneaGeo★★★★★

Linnea

Released Apr 8, 2026Geo support who combines team healing, resistance reduction, and Lunar-Crystallize support. Consider Linnea when your party can trigger Hydro Crystallize and you want her DEF to support both healing and that reaction.Guide

Linnea is a Geo bow character whose summon Lumi attacks nearby enemies, reduces their Geo RES, and can heal the active character through her Burst. Her passive converts party members’ Hydro Crystallize reactions into Lunar-Crystallize, with a DEF-based bonus to that reaction’s Base DMG. Her value therefore depends on having Hydro Crystallize triggers and, for the extra Elemental Mastery benefit, a Moonsign character active.

Gest of the Mighty WolfClaymore★★★★★

Gest of the Mighty Wolf

Released Feb 25, 2026CRIT Rate claymore that rewards Normal Attacks, Skill casts, and Charged Attack starts with short-lived damage stacks and fixed ATK SPD. Consider it for an on-field wielder that can cycle those actions; its extra CRIT DMG requires the party’s Hexerei: Secret Rite effect.Guide

Gest of the Mighty Wolf combines a CRIT Rate secondary stat with 10% ATK SPD and Four Winds’ Hymn stacks. Normal Attack hits grant one stack, Skill casts grant two, and beginning a Charged Attack grants two; each stack increases damage for four seconds, up to four stacks. When the party has Hexerei: Secret Rite, each stack also grants CRIT DMG. Its value depends on the wielder’s action pattern and, for the additional CRIT DMG, the party condition.

ZibaiGeo★★★★★

Zibai

Released Feb 3, 2026A Geo sword character who shifts into Lunar Phase Shift to deal DEF-scaled Geo damage and convert Hydro Crystallize into Lunar-Crystallize. Consider Zibai when you want an on-field damage mode supported by Geo and Hydro party members, especially if you can trigger Moondrift Harmony or Hydro Crystallize reliably.Guide

Zibai’s Elemental Skill activates Lunar Phase Shift for 15 seconds, changing her Normal and Charged Attacks to unoverrideable Geo damage and enabling Spirit Steed’s Stride. Her damage and reaction support both use DEF: Geo teammates add DEF, while Hydro teammates add Elemental Mastery and Hydro Crystallize becomes Lunar-Crystallize. Her Elemental Burst deals two Geo hits and extends the active mode when used during it.

Aubade of Morningstar and MoonArtifact sets★★★★★

Aubade of Morningstar and Moon

Introduced in Luna IVOff-field Lunar Reaction damage artifact setGuide

Aubade of Morningstar and Moon is aimed at Lunar Reaction damage, especially when its wearer remains off-field. Two pieces grant 80 Elemental Mastery. Four pieces increase Lunar Reaction DMG by 20% while the wearer is off-field, with a further 40% increase if the party's Moonsign is at least Ascendant Gleam. The effect disappears after the wearer has been active for three seconds.

Nocturne's Curtain CallCatalyst★★★★★

Nocturne's Curtain Call

Released Jan 14, 2026Lunar-reaction catalyst with HP, CRIT DMG for Lunar Reaction DMG, and periodic Energy recovery.Guide

Nocturne’s Curtain Call is a five-star catalyst with CRIT DMG as its secondary stat. It increases Max HP, then rewards triggering Lunar reactions or dealing Lunar Reaction DMG with additional HP, Lunar Reaction CRIT DMG, and Energy recovery. Consider it for a catalyst user whose damage or mechanics make use of Lunar reactions and the HP increase.

Athame ArtisSword★★★★★

Athame Artis

Released Dec 3, 2025Burst-triggered sword damage and short team ATK supportGuide

Athame Artis is a 5-star Sword with CRIT Rate as its secondary stat. It increases Elemental Burst CRIT DMG, then an Elemental Burst hit grants ATK to the wielder and a three-second ATK boost to nearby active party members. The effect can trigger off-field. A party with Hexerei: Secret Rite effects further increases the Blade of the Daylight Hours effect. Consider it when Burst damage and a brief active-member ATK boost fit the wielder’s role.

DurinPyro★★★★★

Durin

Released Dec 3, 2025Pyro damage dealer with two burst modes and conditional resistance reductionGuide

Durin is a Pyro sword character whose skill enters one of two 30-second states, each changing his burst behavior. Confirmation of Purity produces a following area-attacking dragon and conditional resistance reduction; Denial of Darkness produces a dragon that periodically attacks one nearby opponent and increases his Vaporize and Melt damage. Consider him when you can deliberately select the burst mode that matches the reactions and damage pattern you want.
