Fading Twilight

Energy Recharge bow with a rotating damage bonus

Released May 31, 2022

Fading Twilight is a 4-star Bow with Energy Recharge and a three-state damage bonus. It suits a bow wielder who values Energy Recharge and can benefit from damage increases that change when attacks hit, including while the wielder is off-field.

Understand Fading Twilight

Useful when…

A bow user who wants Energy Recharge alongside a conditional damage bonus.
A wielder whose attacks can hit opponents while on-field or off-field, allowing the states to advance.

Three states and their timing

Fading Twilight cycles through Evengleam, Afterglow, and Dawnblaze, which increase damage dealt by 6%, 10%, and 14% respectively at Refinement 1. When attacks hit opponents, the weapon switches to the next state. It can change state once every 7 seconds, and the equipping character can still trigger a switch while off-field. The passive therefore alternates its listed damage bonus rather than holding the highest state permanently. At Refinement 5, the three bonuses are 12%, 20%, and 28%; the 7-second state-change limit remains.

Practical fit and alternatives

The Energy Recharge secondary stat is useful to consider when the wielder values that stat, while the passive adds a damage bonus whose value depends on the current state and attack hits. Alley Hunter has the same bow category and rarity but uses an ATK secondary stat and builds its damage bonus while its wielder remains off-field; staying on-field over four seconds reduces that bonus. Amos’ Bow instead boosts Normal and Charged Attack damage, with an additional increase based on arrow time in the air. These alternatives have distinct stat profiles and conditions, so their listed effects suit different attack and field-time patterns.

Refinement and ascension priorities

Refinement raises the three state bonuses at every rank: from 6%/10%/14% at Refinement 1 to 12%/20%/28% at Refinement 5. The supplied refinement examples require a Glowing Gem and Mora for each shown step. Ascension is a separate track with six stages; supplied examples show costs for three stage transitions. If investing specifically to strengthen Fading Twilight’s passive, refinement improves its listed damage values, while ascension advances the weapon through its own progression. Weigh refinement copies against keeping them available rather than assuming either track is automatically the first priority.

Avoid reading the cycle as a permanent maximum

The highest listed bonus is only one of three states. Because attacks advance the state and changes are limited to once every 7 seconds, the active bonus can differ over time. The description permits state switches from off-field attacks, but does not say that every attack switches the weapon immediately or that the wielder remains at Dawnblaze. Compare the actual state and condition you can use with the sustained off-field condition on Alley Hunter or the Normal and Charged Attack focus on Amos’ Bow.

Limitations and tradeoffs

Damage bonus changes among three values instead of staying at the maximum.
State changes require attacks to hit opponents and are limited to once every 7 seconds.
Refinement consumes a Glowing Gem and Mora at the listed steps.

Common mistakes to avoid

Treating Dawnblaze’s bonus as permanent rather than one of three rotating states.
Assuming off-field attacks are excluded from state changes; the wielder can trigger a switch while off-field.
Confusing its state cycle with Alley Hunter’s separate off-field buildup and on-field decay.
