Ballad of the Boundless Blue

Stats and effect

The weapon has Energy Recharge as its secondary stat. Within six seconds after a Normal or Charged Attack hits an opponent, Normal Attack DMG increases by 8% and Charged Attack DMG by 6% at refinement 1. Either hit type grants both listed bonuses. The effect can stack up to three times and can trigger once every 0.3 seconds.

Using the attack bonuses

Normal or Charged Attack hits build the effect’s stacks, increasing both listed damage bonuses. The effect specifies Normal and Charged Attack DMG; it does not list a Skill or Burst DMG increase.

Refinement and progression

At refinement 5, the bonuses are 16% Normal Attack DMG and 12% Charged Attack DMG per stack, with up to three stacks and the same six-second duration and 0.3-second trigger interval. Refinement examples require a Dandelion Bookmark and Mora. Ascension advances through stages 0–6; the listed examples show costs for selected stages.

Catalyst comparisons

A Thousand Floating Dreams has Elemental Mastery as its secondary stat and provides party-composition-dependent bonuses, including Elemental Mastery for nearby party members. Angelos’ Heptades has ATK as its secondary stat and grants team damage and Energy effects after its wielder creates a Shield. Apprentice’s Notes is a 1-star Catalyst with no secondary stat listed. These records describe effects and stats different from Ballad’s Energy Recharge and Normal and Charged Attack bonuses.

Limitations and tradeoffs

• The listed damage bonuses apply to Normal and Charged Attacks.
• The effect requires Normal or Charged Attack hits and has a six-second duration.
