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.

AlyoshaElectro★★★★

Alyosha

Released Aug 12, 2026Electro field controller whose marked-target companion attacks and restores HP to nearby active characters.Guide

Alyosha is an Electro polearm user whose skill applies Hunter's Mark and whose burst summons Tugarin into a taunting field. Tugarin attacks nearby opponents every two seconds, prioritizes marked opponents, and restores HP to nearby active characters at 120% of Alyosha's ATK. The burst costs 70 Energy. His skill has a tap AoE mode and a hold aiming mode that increases his interruption resistance while aiming.

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.

Covenant of Frost and SnowBow★★★★

Covenant of Frost and Snow

Released Aug 12, 2026Elemental Mastery bow for Skill-triggered reaction damageGuide

Covenant of Frost and Snow is a 4-star bow with 42.401 base ATK and DEF as its secondary stat. Its passive grants the wielder 120 Elemental Mastery for 12 seconds after they use an Elemental Skill at R1, rising to 240 at R5. Consider it when the wielder can use Skills regularly and benefits from Elemental Mastery; its passive does not increase damage directly for every build, and the DEF secondary stat may not support an ATK-focused damage setup.

New BoughSword★★★★

New Bough

Released Sep 23, 2026Sword that builds short-lived ATK and Elemental Mastery stacks after Skill use and a subsequent hit.Guide

New Bough is a four-star sword with CRIT DMG as its secondary stat. In its standard effect, using an Elemental Skill opens a 12-second window for attacks to build Verdant stacks, each granting ATK and Elemental Mastery. Its listed Radiance: Stellar Glimmer version changes the stack effect. Consider it when the wielder can land attacks soon after using a Skill and benefits from the relevant stats.
