Sword of Narzissenkreuz GUIDE
Understand Sword of Narzissenkreuz
Useful when…
- Use when the wielder lacks an Arkhe and can land an eligible attack.
- Consider it when the sword’s current Pneuma or Ousia type is relevant to the encounter.
Trigger and current type
When the wielder does not have an Arkhe, a Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attack strike releases an energy blast. At R1 it deals 160% of ATK damage and can trigger once every 12 seconds. The blast’s type is determined by the sword’s current type, so the weapon’s selected type matters. A wielder who has an Arkhe does not meet the stated condition.
Use in combat
The ATK secondary stat supports an ATK-based build, while the special effect adds occasional damage after eligible strikes. This is not a continuous per-hit proc because of its 12-second limit. Amenoma Kageuchi instead creates seeds from Skill casts and restores Energy after a Burst; choose it for that distinct energy effect rather than expecting the same Arkhe-aligned blast.
Improvement and tradeoffs
Ascension uses weapon materials and Mora. Refinement uses Surging Sacred Chalice materials and Mora rather than another copy; it increases the blast’s ATK multiplier from 160% at R1 to 320% at R5. The periodic trigger and no-Arkhe condition remain central limitations even at higher refinement. Aquila Favonia instead provides ATK and an effect triggered by taking damage, with healing and area damage.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The wielder must not have an Arkhe for the blast to trigger.
- The blast can occur only once every 12 seconds.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the blast when the wielder has an Arkhe.
- Ignoring the sword’s current type when relying on a particular energy blast.
