Understand Ash-Graven Drinking Horn
Useful when…
- A situation where the wielder can trigger the effect by hitting an opponent and an area hit at the target's location is useful.
- A catalyst setup where the HP secondary stat is relevant to the wielder.
Effect and scaling
When an attack hits an opponent, the weapon deals area damage at the target's location. The damage equals 40% of Max HP at R1 and 80% at R5. The effect can trigger once every 15 seconds. The supplied wording does not specify whose Max HP is used.
Weapon stats and comparisons
Ash-Graven Drinking Horn has HP as its secondary stat. A Thousand Floating Dreams instead has Elemental Mastery as its secondary stat and grants effects based on the party members' Elemental Types. Angelos' Heptades has ATK as its secondary stat and describes a DMG buff and Energy restoration triggered by creating a shield. These records describe different stats and effects; they do not establish that the weapons suit the same wielder or role.
Ascension and refinement
The weapon has ascension stages from 0 to 6, with example material costs supplied for stages 0–1, 3–4, and 5–6. Refinement ranges from 1 to 5, and the provided example steps use The Sea's Silent Shade and Mora. Refinement increases the stated damage scaling from 40% to 80% of Max HP while the effect's 15-second trigger interval remains stated.
Trigger interval
The effect triggers when an attack hits an opponent, but it can occur only once every 15 seconds. Apprentice's Notes is a 1-star catalyst with no secondary stat; its record does not specify an HP-scaled area hit.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The area hit can trigger only once every 15 seconds.
- The passive's stated scaling is based on Max HP, but the supplied wording does not identify whose Max HP.
- The provided refinement examples establish material costs for those steps only.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the effect to trigger on every attack despite its 15-second interval.
- Assuming the supplied effect identifies whose Max HP determines its damage.
- Treating the compared catalysts' different stats and effects as proof they suit the same wielder or role.
