Characters and equipment that use this material

Bow★★★★★

Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage

Released Nov 20, 2024Swirl-activated bow for Charged Attack and Burst damageGuide

Astral Vulture’s Crimson Plumage is a 5-star Bow with CRIT DMG as its secondary stat. Triggering Swirl or Stellar Swirl grants ATK for 12 seconds. Its other bonuses depend on how many party members have an Elemental Type different from the wielder: one different type improves Charged Attack and Burst damage, while two or more grant the larger listed bonuses. Consider it for a wielder whose attack pattern and party composition can use those conditions.

Sword★★★★★

Azurelight

Released Jun 18, 2025Skill-window Sword with a conditional bonus at zero EnergyGuide

Azurelight is a 5-star Sword with CRIT Rate as its secondary stat. Using an Elemental Skill grants an ATK increase for 12 seconds. If the wielder has 0 Energy during that window, the weapon grants a further ATK increase and CRIT DMG. Consider it for a wielder that can use Skill-triggered ATK and can reach zero Energy during the window; the additional bonuses require that exact Energy condition.

Sword★★★★

Calamity of Eshu

Released Nov 28, 2024Shield-dependent Normal and Charged Attack swordGuide

Calamity of Eshu is a 4-star sword with ATK as its secondary stat. While characters are protected by a Shield, it boosts Normal and Charged Attack DMG and their CRIT Rate. Consider it for a shielded attack-focused wielder; without Shield protection, the listed passive provides no benefit.

Bow★★★★

Rainbow Serpent's Rain Bow

Released Dec 19, 2025Energy Recharge bow with an ATK bonus triggered by the wielder's off-field hits.Guide

Rainbow Serpent's Rain Bow grants ATK when the wielder's attacks hit an opponent while the wielder is off field. It suits a damage pattern that can meet this condition and benefit from ATK; on-field hits do not meet the stated trigger.

Polearm★★★★

Tamayuratei no Ohanashi

Released Feb 14, 2025Energy Recharge polearm with Skill-triggered ATK and movement speedGuide

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.
