Understand Traveler's Handy Sword
Useful when…
- Restore some HP when collecting Elemental Orbs or Particles.
- Consider its DEF secondary stat when selecting a Sword.
Pickup-triggered HP restoration
Each Elemental Orb or Particle collected restores 1% HP at Refinement 1, rising to 2% at Refinement 5. The weapon is a 3-star Sword with 39.8751 base ATK and DEF as its secondary stat. Its stated HP restoration trigger is collecting an Orb or Particle.
Other Sword effects
Amenoma Kageuchi has ATK as its secondary stat and restores Energy after the wielder uses a Burst with Skill-generated Succession Seeds. Absolution has CRIT DMG and grants a damage increase when the value of a Bond of Life increases. These effects differ from Traveler's Handy Sword's pickup-triggered HP restoration.
Refinement and ascension
Refinement raises HP restored per Orb or Particle from 1% to 2%. The listed refinement steps require a duplicate Traveler's Handy Sword copy and Mora. Ascension is separate and uses Mora and weapon materials at the listed example stages.
Trigger limits
The stated trigger is collecting an Elemental Orb or Particle; the effect does not describe HP restoration from simply attacking or using a Skill. The amount is a percentage of HP per pickup. Aquila Favonia has a different effect triggered by taking damage, which restores HP based on ATK and can occur once every 15 seconds.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- HP restoration is tied to collecting Elemental Orbs or Particles.
- The secondary stat is DEF.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting HP restoration from attacks without collecting a pickup.
- Treating the per-pickup percentage as a fixed HP amount.
