Character and Weapon Enhancement Material
An intricately-made handguard that was mounted upon a famed weapon. Some believe that swords have souls and lives of their own, and thus deserve their own names. Those who love their blades will be acknowledged by them in turn. But those who see their swords as friends or even lovers should be warned that this relationship is built on death and bloodshed. The passions of those who dance with their blade amid crimson showers must surely be cooled someday by fickle steel.
Used by the supported upgrade goals listed below. Requirements depend on the selected current and target levels.
None★★★★★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.
Cryo★★★★★Consider Kamisato Ayaka when you want repeated Cryo damage from a burst that travels forward, alongside an area-damage skill and Cryo infusion from her alternate sprint. Her burst costs 80 Energy, so using it regularly is central to getting value from her defining ability.
Hydro★★★★★Ayato is a Hydro sword character whose skill converts his rapid attacks into AoE Hydro damage for a limited stance, while his burst rains Hydro blades over an area and boosts Normal Attack damage for characters within it. Consider him when you want a brief on-field Hydro attack window or a burst that supports Normal Attack users.
None★★★★★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.
Electro★★★★★Raiden Shogun grants coordinated Electro attacks and an Elemental Burst damage bonus through her skill. Her own burst consumes Resolve built from teammates' burst energy costs, deals an initial area hit, and changes her attacks into a temporary Electro tachi stance that restores party energy. Her Energy Recharge also improves both her energy restoration and Electro damage.
Anemo★★★★★Wanderer is a Catalyst user whose Elemental Skill puts him into a hovering state where his Normal and Charged Attacks become stronger Anemo attacks. Use him when you want sustained ranged pressure with the freedom to move vertically and horizontally while attacking.
Electro★★★★★Yae Miko places up to three Sesshou Sakura that periodically strike nearby opponents with Electro. Nearby towers raise one another’s levels and damage. Her burst destroys nearby towers to create one Tenko Thunderbolt per tower, then resets one skill charge for each tower destroyed. (Use her for recurring off-field Electro damage when you can space the towers well.)
Anemo★★★★★Yumemizuki Mizuki enters Dreamdrifter with her skill, drifting through nearby enemies while increasing nearby party members’ Swirl and Stellar Swirl damage based on her Elemental Mastery. Her burst creates snacks that heal the picker at 70% HP or below, or explode for damage above 70%.
Claymore★★★★Akuoumaru is a four-star claymore with ATK as its secondary stat. Its passive increases the wielder’s Elemental Burst DMG according to the combined maximum Energy capacity of the whole party, making it worth considering when the wielder deals a meaningful share of damage through their Burst and the party has substantial Energy capacity.
Sword★★★★Amenoma Kageuchi is a four-star sword with ATK as its secondary stat. Casting Elemental Skills creates Succession Seeds, which the wielder consumes after using an Elemental Burst to regain Energy. Consider it when the character can use Skills before their Burst and benefits from both ATK and this conditional Energy return.
Polearm★★★★★Engulfing Lightning links Energy Recharge and ATK: at R1, it increases ATK by 28% of Energy Recharge above 100%, up to an 80% ATK bonus, and grants 30% Energy Recharge for 12 seconds after using an Elemental Burst. This makes the weapon particularly relevant when a character needs Energy Recharge and can convert that investment into ATK. The cap and the 100% baseline matter when judging how much additional Energy Recharge contributes to ATK.
Sword★★★★Finale of the Deep is a craftable-style ATK-oriented sword effect centered on using an Elemental Skill and then clearing a Bond of Life. Consider it when the wielder can clear the granted Bond consistently: the Skill grants a temporary ATK increase, and clearing the Bond converts its amount into additional ATK for a limited time.
Sword★★★★★Haran Geppaku Futsu is a 5-star sword with CRIT Rate and an All Elemental DMG Bonus. Other nearby party members’ Elemental Skills build Wavespike stacks; the wielder’s Skill consumes them to grant a temporary Normal Attack DMG bonus. Consider it when both elemental damage and Normal Attacks matter and the party can build its stacks.
Claymore★★★★Katsuragikiri Nagamasa is a four-star Claymore with Energy Recharge as its secondary stat. Its passive boosts Elemental Skill damage and, when a Skill hits an opponent, spends 3 Energy before restoring Energy over 6 seconds. Consider it for a character who can land Skill hits and values both Skill damage and Energy support.
Sword★★★★★Mistsplitter Reforged is a five-star sword with CRIT DMG as its secondary stat. It gives a broad Elemental DMG Bonus, then adds more damage for the wielder’s element as Emblem stacks are gained. Consider it for an elemental damage dealer whose attacks and Burst can meet those stack conditions.
Claymore★★★★★Redhorn Stonethresher is tailored to claymore users whose Normal or Charged Attack damage benefits from DEF. It increases DEF and converts a percentage of DEF into Normal and Charged Attack DMG, so the effect’s value depends on the wielder’s DEF and attack pattern.
Polearm★★★★Tamayuratei no Ohanashi has Energy Recharge and grants ATK and movement speed after its wielder uses an Elemental Skill. Consider it when the wielder can make use of Energy Recharge and the short Skill-triggered bonuses.
Sword★★★★Toukabou Shigure marks an opponent after the wielder hits it, increasing that wielder's damage against the marked target for a limited time. It is consequently more focused than an unconditional party damage effect.
Sword★★★★★Uraku Misugiri has CRIT DMG as its secondary stat and increases Normal Attack and Elemental Skill damage. Nearby active Geo damage triggers a 15-second increase to those two damage effects.
Polearm★★★★Wavebreaker's Fin increases its wielder's Elemental Burst damage according to the party's combined maximum Energy capacity. Consider it for a Burst-focused polearm wielder when the party has substantial total Energy capacity.
