Winter's Heavy Heart

Party-composition catalyst for Cryo, Electro, or Stellar Glimmer

Released Sep 23, 2026

Winter's Heavy Heart grants its wielder bonuses based on the number of Cryo and Electro characters in the party. In Radiance: Stellar Glimmer, its effect changes to Elemental Mastery and Stellar Glimmer reaction damage per qualifying character. Consider it when the party composition matches the relevant effect.

Understand Winter's Heavy Heart

Useful when…

  • A catalyst wielder in a party with Cryo and/or Electro characters
  • A Radiance: Stellar Glimmer setup that can use the alternate stated bonuses

Base party effect

Under Silver-Tinged Blood Pact at R1, each Cryo character in the party gives the wielder 24 Elemental Mastery, while each Electro character gives 4.8% ATK. Up to four Cryo or Electro characters can provide these buffs. The effect therefore counts party members of those types; it is not a per-hit stack.

Radiance: Stellar Glimmer effect

In Radiance: Stellar Glimmer, the effect is changed: each Cryo or Electro character in the party gives the wielder 20 Elemental Mastery and 6% increased Stellar Glimmer reaction damage at R1. Refinement raises these per-character amounts. This is a separate stated mode; do not add it on top of the base Cryo-Elemental-Mastery and Electro-ATK effects.

Investment and comparison

The weapon has CRIT DMG as its secondary stat, and ascension covers six stages. Refinement consumes another copy and Mora, increasing the listed party bonuses. A Thousand Floating Dreams grants effects based on the elemental types of the wielder's other party members and shares Elemental Mastery; Angelos' Heptades depends on shield creation. Their activation conditions differ from this weapon's Cryo/Electro count.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The base effect depends on party members of specific Elemental Types.
  • Radiance: Stellar Glimmer replaces the base effect rather than supplementing it.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Adding the Radiance effect to the base Cryo and Electro bonuses instead of treating it as a replacement.
  • Counting more than four Cryo or Electro characters toward the listed base cap.
