WHERE IT FITS

Characters and equipment that use this material

AetherNone★★★★★

Aether

Released Sep 28, 2020Multi-form sword character with a shared five-hit Normal Attack string and distinct elemental abilities in each form.Guide

Aether’s value depends on the chosen form: the abilities range from Anemo grouping and elemental absorption to Cryo crystal attacks, Dendro field support, Electro energy effects, Geo constructs, Hydro aimed attacks and Pyro coordinated damage. Choose a form for the effect you need, and invest in that form’s own combat talent tracks.

AlbedoGeo★★★★★

Albedo

Released Dec 23, 2020Geo skill damage dealer whose long-lived field triggers DEF-scaling follow-up damage when opponents are hit.Guide

Albedo is a sword user whose Elemental Skill places a Geo construct that can repeatedly add AoE Geo damage when opponents take damage inside its field. Consider him when you want a skill-based damage source that can remain active while another character attacks. His burst adds a separate AoE hit and, if his own Solar Isotoma is present, seven additional blossoms. The burst also grants nearby party members Elemental Mastery for 10 seconds. His kit therefore offers a sustained skill effect plus a burst option, but the skill's follow-ups have a two-second trigger limit and depend on the field remaining useful.

DurinPyro★★★★★

Durin

Released Dec 3, 2025Pyro damage dealer with two burst modes and conditional resistance reductionGuide

Durin is a Pyro sword character whose skill enters one of two 30-second states, each changing his burst behavior. Confirmation of Purity produces a following area-attacking dragon and conditional resistance reduction; Denial of Darkness produces a dragon that periodically attacks one nearby opponent and increases his Vaporize and Melt damage. Consider him when you can deliberately select the burst mode that matches the reactions and damage pattern you want.

LumineNone★★★★★

Lumine

Released Sep 28, 2020Playable five-star sword character with seven elemental forms. Lumine’s role and useful abilities change substantially with her active form, so choose the form for its specific skill and burst effects before investing in its combat tracks.Guide

Lumine uses a sword and can take Anemo, Cryo, Dendro, Electro, Geo, Hydro, or Pyro form. Each form has its own normal attack, skill, and burst track; their shared sword attacks are five-hit combos, two-hit charged attacks costing 20 Stamina, and plunging attacks. Consider her when you want to adapt the Traveler to a form’s particular damage, elemental application, or support mechanics.

RosariaCryo★★★★

Rosaria

Released Apr 6, 2021Cryo polearm character who places periodic area Cryo damage with her burst and can share part of her CRIT Rate with nearby party members. Consider Rosaria when you want recurring Cryo hits and a conditional team CRIT Rate increase.Guide

Rosaria's skill moves her behind an opponent when its size permits and deals Cryo damage. Her burst places an Ice Lance that repeatedly damages nearby opponents. Casting the burst increases nearby teammates' CRIT Rate based on Rosaria's own CRIT Rate, capped at 15%.
