Genshin Impact Wine And Song is a 4-star weapon in the second phase of update 3.8. This weapon has great stats for many DPS characters. Let's check out which characters can use this weapon effectively.

I. Wine And Song Rate & Stats

Genshin Impact 3.8 second phase is coming soon with two new characters banners and one weapon banner. Wine And Song is the 4-star catalyst featured in the upcoming weapon banner. Here are the stats of this catalyst.

• Base ATK: 44 - 565;
• Bonus effect: Energy Recharge + 6.7% - 30.6%;
• Ever-Changing skill: It helps the wielder reduce stamina consumption for Sprinting by 14% for 5 seconds when that character hits the target with a Normal Attack. Besides, the wielder will get 20% ATK higher for 5 seconds when using the Sprint or Alternate Sprint ability.

Therefore, this catalyst is better for on-field damage dealers. Your characters can take advantage of its ATK bonus. But you should stay on the field and move quickly by using Sprint skills.

II. Whom Is Wine And Song Good For?

The character who wields the catalyst Wine and Song should stay on the field to deal damage to the opponents. He/she should play as a damage dealer. Here are the best users for this weapon.

#1. Shikanoin Heizou

Heizou is one of the three best on-field Anemo DPS in Genshin Impact here. The sub-stats of Energy Recharge let Heizou use his Elemental burst more frequently. Moreover, he can take advantage of the stamina and ATK buffs to deal higher damage.

#2. Kokomi

Kokomi often plays as a healer because her signature weapon takes away a huge amount of Crit Rate. But you can switch to using the Wind and Song catalyst for her to let her play as an on-field damage dealer.

#3. Mona

Mona is better than Kokomi in the DPS position. She can optimize the passive skill of this catalyst with her Alternative Sprint skill. This Hydro supporter is the best character to wield this catalyst as it boosts her ATK and lets her unleash the elemental burst more often.

Besides, Sucrose, Klee, Lisa, and Yanfei are ideal characters to use the Wine and Song catalyst. The ER buffs from this weapon are necessary for them.

III. Should I Get Wine And Song?

The 4-star catalyst Wine and Song is a good weapon for sub-DPS and damage dealers who need to stay on-field. If you need a weapon to let Heizou, Kokomi, and Mona play well as a DPS, this catalyst is a good option. Moreover, its aesthetical appearance makes your characters look better during combat.

Genshin Impact Wine And Song will be available to pull on July 25th. Save Primogems for its weapon banners if you hunger for it.

The Genshin Impact version 3.8 update has brought a reset to the enemy line-up in the Spiral Abyss. Fortunately, the new cycle is less challenging than the previous one. While the number of enemies on Floor 12 has increased significantly compared to the last reset, Consecrated Beasts are absent this time. However, players should be aware of the presence of Rifthounds, making a reliable healer crucial for team survival.

Additionally, there are a few formidable adversaries in the latter part of Floor 12. Nevertheless, overall, the new cycle proves to be relatively easy. This article aims to recommend the best teams in Genshin Impact for achieving a nine-star completion on both halves of the final floor of the Spiral Abyss.

1. Childe Vaporize team

This team is definitely one of the most powerful rosters to get full 9 stars in Spiral Abyss floor 12.

This party has a notable advantage in being effective in both single-target (ST) and area-of-effect (AoE) situations. The inclusion of a Hydro DPS character like Childe proves particularly beneficial when facing the Pyro Abyss Lector in the initial chamber.

Moreover, Bennett offers healing support, ensuring players are protected from corrosion and minimizing concerns of sustaining fatal damage.

Although most team members are essential, Genshin Impact players who lack Kazuha can opt for Sucrose as an alternative.

2. Ayaka freeze team

With Ayaka, Shenhe, Kokomi, and Kazuha in the team, Ayaka freeze is also one of the best teams for Spiral Abyss 3.8 in Genshin Impact, especially Floor 12.

Utilizing a freeze team can prove highly advantageous in tackling the abundance of enemies in both the first and second chambers. The Rifthounds and Shadowy Husks can be particularly troublesome due to their high mobility or formidable attacks.

In such cases, using freezing techniques to freeze them while unleashing damage with Ayaka can serve as an excellent strategy.

Furthermore, this team excels against the Mirror Maiden in the third chamber. Freezing her impedes her frequent teleportation, granting a significant advantage in combat.

3. Nahida Hyperbloom team

All four characters in this team, Raiden Shogun, Yelan, Nahida, Zhongli, are the best at their job.

The combination of Raiden Shogun, Nahida, and Yelan forms a formidable Hyperbloom team that is renowned for its exceptional DPS capabilities. The lineup is among the optimal choices for the latter part of Floor 12, particularly when facing ASIMON and Primal Constructs.

Although Zhongli is not essential, his inclusion in the team offers some flexibility. By deploying his shield, Genshin Impact players can conveniently disregard enemy attacks, eliminating the need to constantly dodge and enabling them to utilize their time more efficiently.

Moreover, Zhongli possesses the ability to provide buffs to his teammates while simultaneously debuffing enemies, further enhancing the team's overall performance.

4. Hu Tao vape and overload team

This team includes Xingqiu, Yelan, Fischl, and Hu Tao.

Undoubtedly, Hu Tao is recognized as one of the most potent DPS in Genshin Impact. When paired with Xingqiu and Xiangling, they form a formidable combination capable of generating an immense amount of DPS, effortlessly clearing most game content. Fortunately, the reduced number of enemies in the latter half of Floor 12 enhances the effectiveness of this team.

Including Fischl in this party proves highly beneficial due to her exceptional single-target damage output. Additionally, her presence enables Hu Tao to trigger overload and vaporize reaction damage. Moreover, Fischl's remarkable energy regeneration facilitates Xingqiu to equip more potent weapons, further amplifying the overall DPS.

5. Alhaitham Spread team

At present, Alhaitham stands out as the premier Dendro main DPS character in Genshin Impact, showcasing excellent synergy with various other units in the game. To maximize his potential, you can pair him with an Electro unit to trigger powerful elemental reactions, thereby significantly amplifying the overall Dendro DPS output.

Indeed, Nahida is often considered the optimal support choice for Alhaitham due to their compatibility and synergy. Players also have the option to select the Dendro main character as alternative support for Alhaitham.

For Electro support options, Fischl and Kuki are highly regarded as excellent choices. Those who focus on free-to-play can use them to enhance team composition and elemental reactions.

Ibis Piercer is the 4-star bow in Genshin Impact. You can get it for free from the event "Duel! The Summoner's Summit" in update 3.7. Hard-working players can claim this weapon reward right after the first day of this event. Check out the best wielders to use this bow here.

#1. Tighnari in Dendro Teams

Tighnari can play as a Dendro enabler and DPS in Quicken teams. This bow wielder scales with Elemental Mastery and ATK. Therefore, the high ATK% of Ibis Piercer can buff the DMG for Tighnari and make him a powerful DPS in Dendro teams.

Moreover, the bow gives Tighnari the Elemental Mastery buff from its passive at max refinement. This bow is very useful for this Dendro enabler. But don't forget to enhance and refine to the maximum level. You can also get the refinement materials from the event shop of "Duel! The Summoner's Summit".

#2. Fischl in Aggravate Teams

Fischl is more useful after the release of the Dendro element. She can play better as a supporter in Hyperbloom, Aggravate, Quicken, and Spread teams with the Ibis Piercer bow. Electro characters are more helpful in the current meta of the game.

She can trigger powerful elemental reactions with the buffs from ATK stats and Elemental Mastery of this F2P bow. The free 4-star Ibis Piercer bow is very useful for this off-field Electro enabler, especially for Aggravating elemental reactions.

#3. Ganyu in Melt Teams

If you haven't got any 5-star weapon for Ganyu, Ibis Piercer is an ideal bow for this Cryo DPS. This 4-star weapon is very useful for Ganyu in Melt and Reverse Melt teams thanks to its Elemental Mastery stats.

She can get 160 elemental mastery from the passive buff of this weapon at the max level and refinement. It makes Ganyu a versatile DPS for Melt teams with her Charged attacks. It's very easy and cheap to build a strong team with Ganyu who wield a refined Ibis Piercer bow.

In a few days, the upcoming Genshin Impact 3.6 update will provide players with an abundance of new content, such as the addition of a five-star Catalyst called Jadefall's Splendor from the Primordial Jade Series. This weapon is Baizhu's unique weapon and will be obtainable for a limited time through the Epitome Invocation Weapon banner during Version 3.6's second phase.

This article will showcase everything you need to know about the new five-star Catalyst, including the required materials for maximum ascension.

Jadefall's Splendor Stats and passive effects

On Genshin Impact's Twitter page, HoYoverse has announced the statistics and additional effects of Jadefall's Splendor. At level 90, the fresh weapon boasts 608 Base ATK as its primary attribute and a substantial HP% bonus of 49.6% as the secondary attribute. This HP% bonus will be advantageous for characters who scale on Max HP.

Here's the passive effects of the weapon at R1:

"For 3s after using an Elemental Burst or creating a shield, the equipping character can gan the Primordial Jade Regalia effect: Restore 4.5 Energy every 2.5s, and gain 0.3% Elemental DMG Bonus for their corresponding Elemental Type for every 1,000 Max HP they possess, up to 12%. Primordial Jade Regalia will still take effect even if the equipping character is not on the field."

When a player uses an Elemental Burst or activates a shield, Jadefall's Splendor's passive ability will activate the Primordial Jade Regalia effect for three seconds, allowing for the restoration of 4.5 Energy every 2.5 seconds. Moreover, for every 1,000 Max HP the user has, they will receive a 0.3% Elemental DMG boost for their respective element, up to a maximum of 12%. The Primordial Jade Regalia effect can also activate even if the wielder is not currently in use. Although the weapon provides benefits such as Energy Recharge and Elemental DMG bonus, fully utilizing it will be challenging for characters other than Baizhu.

Jadefall's Splendor ascension materials

Though Jadefall's Splendor will be released in the second phase of Genshin Impact 3.6, fans can pre-farm some items that are required to max ascend the new weapon.

Here is a list of materials that players will need to level up Jadefall's Splendor:

• Luminous Sands from Guyun x5
• Lustrous Stone from Guyun x14
• Relic from Guyun x14
• Divine Body from Guyun x6
• Fungal Spores x15
• Luminescent Pollen x23
• Crystalline Cyst Dust x27
• A Flower Yet to Bloom x23
• Treasured Flower x27
• Wanderer’s Blooming Flower x41

A Flower Yet to Bloom/Treasured Flower/Wanderer’s Blooming Flower are dropped by Hilichurl Rogues, the new mob to be added in this update.

Should you pull for Jadefall's Splendor?

Overall, this weapon is not that versatile - outside of Baizhu only Kokomi and Barbara would be able to use it effectively. However, unlike Baizhu, Kokomi cannot switch after using an elemental burst, renew it every 3 seconds, or create a shield, which will cause the elemental damage buff to last only for a short time and only for herself. Barbara will only use the catalyst for HP and ER.

Dehya is the newest character added to Genshin Impact as part of the 3.5 update, and her kit is fairly underwhelming. To make up for her weakness, players need an optimal build with a good weapon.

Therefore, in this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the top 10 best weapons for Dehya in Genshin Impact 3.5.

1. Beacon of the Reed Sea

Dehya’s signature weapon, and by far her best for personal damage. She can easily gain both stacks from Skill cast and have any teammate take damage. Its only downside is its anti-synergy with shielders.

Bonus Stat: CRIT Rate
Skill Effect: After the character's Elemental Skill hits an opponent, their ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s. After the character takes DMG, their ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s. The 2 aforementioned effects can be triggered even when the character is not on the field. Additionally, when not protected by a shield, the character's Max HP will be increased by 32%.

2. Akuoumaru

As most of Dehya’s damage comes from her Burst, Akuoumaru proves to be an excellent option for on-field Dehya, especially in high-Energy-Cost teams. Scales extremely well with refinements. This is the best 4-star option for Dehya.

Bonus Stat: ATK%
Skill Effect: For every point of the entire party's combined maximum Energy capacity, the Elemental Burst DMG of the character equipping this weapon is increased by 0.12%. A maximum of 40% increased Elemental Burst DMG can be achieved this way.

3. Redhorn Stonethresher

Redhorn Stonethresher passives usually don’t work in Dehya’s favor but the CRIT stats alone are valuable enough to be considered. Redhorn stands out with its 5-star stats alone and can perform comparably to the options above.

Bonus Stat: Crit DMG
DEF is increased by 28%. Normal and Charged Attack DMG is increased by 40% of DEF.

4. Wolf’s Gravestone

Wolf’s Gravestone is an ATK% stat stick with a clunky conditional passive, which Dehya can’t make full use of. It is not as impactful as the other 5 stars because of her split scaling with HP and ATK.

Increases ATK by 20%. On hit, attacks against opponents with less than 30% HP increase all party members' ATK by 40% for 12s. Can only occur once every 30s.

5. Favonius Greatsword

Greatly lowers Dehya’s high Energy requirements as well as generates more Energy for the whole team. The lower Base ATK isn’t as harmful to Dehya compared to other characters since she dual scales with HP.

CRIT hits have a 60% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12s.

6. Skyward Pride

Its ER% substat calls for an ATK% Sands, which can increase Dehya’s damage considerably. Its passive provides a tiny DMG% buff but is otherwise unremarkable.

Increases all DMG by 8%. After using an Elemental Burst, Normal or Charged Attack, on hit, creates a vacuum blade that does 80% of ATK as DMG to opponents along its path. Lasts for 20s or 8 vacuum blades.

7. Luxurious Sea-Lord

An Event weapon with an ATK% substat and a Burst DMG% passive, both of which are useful to Dehya.

Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 12%. When Elemental Burst hits opponents, there is a 100% chance of summoning a huge onrush of tuna that deals 100% ATK as AoE DMG. This effect can occur once every 15s.

8. Mailed Flower / Rainslasher / Makhaira Aquamarine

These weapons can be viable options in Vaporize comps for their EM substats, though they are usually outperformed by others listed above. Mailed Flower grants high Base ATK, while also having ATK% in its passive; Rainslasher gives a substantial DMG Bonus, especially at higher refinements; Makhaira Aquamarine gives a small amount of Flat ATK to Dehya and her party.

9. Serpent Spine / Blackcliff Slasher

Generic crit sticks to boost Dehya's otherwise low damage potential. I would say Blackcliff and Serpents Spine are very similar because whatever you choose, you can make up for the other stat with your circlet. that being said, it all just comes down to how much you want to spend. if you were planning on buying battle pass anyway, then serpents spine is a really great option but if you're reluctant to spend $10, Blackcliff is a really great option as well.

10. Katsuragikiri Nagamasa

Its ER substat along with its passive's Energy refund allows on-field Dehya to build less ER from substats and focus more on offensive stats. Even though it has a higher Base ATK, it is still overall worse than Favonius Greatsword, as it doesn’t produce teamwide Energy.

Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 6%. After Elemental Skill hits an opponent, the character loses 3 Energy but regenerates 3 Energy every 2s for the next 6s. This effect can occur once every 10s. Can be triggered even when the character is not on the field.

Each 5-star character in Genshin Impact usually comes with a 5-star weapon designed to work with their kit. Dehya is not an exception to this rule - she is going to come out with a claymore of the Sumeru series, Deshret Awaken. Aside from this new weapon, another 4-star claymore named Whispers of Wind and Flower is also going to be available for free during an event in 3.5.

In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the 2 new weapons to look out for in the next patch.

1. About Beacon of the Reed Sea

• Base Attack 45.94 - 608
• Substat Type Critical Rate %
• Base Substat 7.2% - 33%

Skill: After an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, your ATK will be increased by 20% (40% at R5) for 8s. After you take DMG, your ATK will be increased by 20% (40% at R5) for 8s. The 2 aforementioned effects can be triggered even when the character is not on the field. Additionally, when not protected by a shield, your character's Max HP will be increased by 32% (64% at R5).

How good is Dehya's signature weapon?

Due to Dehya's peculiar kit that requires her to tank, the Beacon of the Reed Sea gives a lot of bonuses to ATK and MAX HP to make up for her weaknesses.

The weapon's HP bonus is rather weird, as it literally can't be used with a shielder. This means to make full use of it, players need to forgo using characters like Zhongli or Thoma.

Who else can use this weapon?

Overall, players can consider this weapon an improved version of the Wolf's Gravestone.

• Diluc - the Deshret Awaken gives Diluc a 40% ATK bonus right away, which is much more valuable than the Wolf's Gravestone's low HP bonus. The extra HP is just the cherry on top and is not that important.
• Razor - a physical DPS like Razor could definitely use a 40% ATK stat stick.
• Eula/Beidou/Itto - most DPS can make use of this weapon if their signature is not available.

About Dehya

Dehya is in general a bruiser who tanks and deals damage at the same time. Defense-related mechanics have been usually damage resistance or Shields, so I'm glad to see a character who is outright a damage sponge. Plus the healing makes her very self-sufficient. This is an archetype I've wanted in the game for a while.

Ascension materials

• Echo of Scorching Might x 5
• Desiccated Shell x 23
• Faded Red Satin x 15
• Remnant Glow of Scorching Might x 14
• Sturdy Shell x 27
• Trimmed Red Silk x 23
• Dream of Scorching Might x 14
• Marked Shell x 41
• Rich Red Brocade x 27
• Olden Days of Scorching Might x 6
• 225k Mora

2. About Mailed Flower

• Base Attack 43.73 - 564.78
• Substat Type Elemental Mastery
• Base Substat 24 - 110

Skill: Within 8s after an Elemental Skill hits an opponent or triggers an Elemental Reaction, ATK and Elemental Mastery will be increased by 12% (24% at R5) and 48 (96 at R5) respectively.

The Mailed Flower is going to be a free weapon from the Windblume event.

How good is the Mailed Flower?

Overall, the sword is rather weird, as not many claymore users want Elemental Mastery. There already are good f2p options like the fish blade. However, it can definitely be used as a stat stick by characters who might need a bit of EM.

This might be a future-proof claymore, as Mihoyo might release a Dendro Claymore user in the future.

Who can use this weapon?

• Beidou - if you are using her in a Quicken team, the ATK and EM bonus would be very useful.
• Dori - usually she would use an EM weapon to battery and get more energy for her Burst, but the WWF claymore would yield more damage.

Ascension materials

• Fetters of the Dandelion Gladiator x5
• Desiccated Shell x 23
• Spectral Husk x 15
• Chains of the Dandelion Gladiator x 14
• Sturdy Shell x 27
• Spectral Heart x 23
• Shackles of the Dandelion Gladiator x 14
• Marked Shell x 41
• Spectral Nucleus x 27
• Dream of the Dandelion Gladiator x 6
• 225k Mora

Eula is Genshin Impact's best Physical DPS character, with the ability to deal massive Burst damage with support from Superconduct. However, Eula has plenty of weakness and need a good weapon to showcase her full potential. In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the top 10 best weapons for Eula in Genshin Impact 3.4.

1. Song of Broken Pines

It is no surprise that Eula’s signature weapon would be BiS for her. Highest base ATK and Physical DMG% substat with more ATK% steroids in its passive all benefit Eula greatly. Not to mention, the ATK SPD buff means your combos are a lot easier to perform. 10/10 weapon for Eula. The only weakness is that outside of Eula, Razor, and Xinyan, no other Claymore wielders really want it. Look at your overall roster before deciding to pull for this.

2. Wolf’s Gravestone

The best generalist Claymore in the game. It has the largest ATK% buff in the game on a single weapon, and it is teamwide. With this weapon, most outside ATK% buff is unneeded or has their opportunity cost reduced greatly. If its passive procs, Wolf’s Gravestone can easily out-damage Song of Broken Pines. However, the 30% HP threshold condition is quite hard to proc before Eula’s Burst explodes, so although it is still incredibly strong, it sits in 2nd place.

3. The Unforged

Wolf’s Gravestone v2, albeit weaker. This weapon also gives massive ATK buffs, and although it is a lot more consistent than Wolf’s Gravestone, you are forced to use a shield with Eula to get maximum power out of this Claymore. If you do not have a Zhongli or Diona, this weapon is not as impressive as it seems. Even without shields, it is still a 5* weapon with very good ATK% buffs, so it is still up there on the list.

4. Skyward Pride

Skyward Pride’s power and rankings are hard to pin down, as its power is heavily dependent on how much ER% you need. Eula actually makes very good use of its passive, as Skyward Pride’s air blades deal Physical Damage, and Eula’s kit can maximize its potential. If you need the ER%, it is at least a top 3 weapon. However, if you don’t need this weapon to hit the ER% threshold, or if it brings you too far over that ER% requirement, it can even be beaten by the best 4* options for Eula.

5. Redhorn Stonethresher

An incredibly strong stat-stick, boasting an 88.2% CRIT DMG% substat at max level. Despite this, Redhorn suffers from having poor base ATK and passive (even with Grimheart stacks). It is not worth it to change your rotation to get a slight boost to Eula’s Normal Attacks. This weapon also suffers from CRIT imbalance, as it will be difficult to achieve a 1:2 CRIT ratio with this weapon. One of the most powerful weapons for Eula when used with Bennett, as he helps solve the issue of low Base ATK.

6. Serpent’s Spine

An absolute monster of a weapon, it is a surprise how it is even a 4*. With high CRIT Rate substats, a universal DMG% buff, this weapon makes investing in Eula easier than even some 5* options above. Its only weakness is that it is also heavily contested among other Claymores, so unless you have multiple copies, you have to make a decision about who gets to use it. Best 4* option for Eula, uncontested.

7. Luxurious Sea-Lord

For how silly this thing looks, it is the current best F2P option for Eula. It is an event weapon, so you can R5 it with little cost, and at R5 it gives a 24% DMG buff for your Burst, while also having a very good ATK% substat. The on-hit damage you can proc once every rotation consistently is extra icing on the top. Heavily recommended for all F2Ps, if you can get over your Eula whacking people with a giant sardine.

8. Akuoumaru

Akuoumaru is an unstable weapon that has the potential to be the 2nd best 4* weapon for Eula after Serpent Spine, but also can be worse than Sea-Lord, depending on how much Energy cost you are running in your team. It is recommended to use Akuoumaru only if you are running Eula with Raiden to make the most use of its passive and if you have high refinements on it, or if you do not have a Sea-Lord or Serpent Spine to spare for Eula. Still, a very good weapon, do not hesitate to use it if the conditions aforementioned apply to you. You can check the comprehensive weapon sheet at the top for specific thresholds and refinements where it matches up with her better options.

9. Lithic Blade

Another weapon that has a conditional ranking. Two of Eula’s best batteries are Rosaria and Diona, and they are from Mondstadt, while if you do not have a Raiden Fischl is your best off-field Electro applicator for Superconduct. This means this weapon is usually stuck at 1-2 stacks, or in some cases even 0, pushing it behind Snow-tombed and Archaic. However, in a Eula Raiden Beidou composition where you can reach 2 stacks, this weapon beats all of the options under it. Quite situational, use with care.

10. Snow-Tombed Starsilver

Used to be Eula’s best F2P option until Sea-Lord arrived. It has fallen out of favor, but it is still a very competitive weapon on Eula, not to mention there are few who would contest this weapon from her. Its passive can be dodged and missed, which is its one point of inconsistency, other than that, it is a useful and nice statstick that just works.

Alhaitham is a 5-star Dendro Sword character with flexible field time and strong on-field Dendro application granted through a stacking mechanic. His kit revolves around his Chisel-Light Mirrors, which convert his basic attacks to Dendro and provide additional damage and Dendro application based on the number of his active Mirrors.

As he is an on-field DPS character, having a good weapon is a must. After getting Alhaitham, players might want to go for his signature weapon instead of constellation levels. In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the 10 best weapons for Alhaitham in Genshin Impact 3.4.

1. Light of Foliar Incision

CRIT Rate is increased by 4%. After Normal Attacks deal Elemental DMG, the Foliar Incision effect will be obtained, increasing DMG dealt by Normal Attacks and Elemental Skills by 120% of Elemental Mastery. This effect will disappear after 28 DMG instances or 12s. You can obtain Foliar Incision once every 12s.

Alhaitham's signature weapon is his Best-in-Slot. It is a hefty CRIT stat stick that provides bonus EM-scaling Flat DMG to his Normal Attacks and Projection Attacks (similar to Shenhe’s Quills). Foliar’s passive synergizes well with EM buffs and makes him strongly favor EM in his build.

Note that due to his lack of CRIT Rate ascension, it can be difficult to get a 1:2 CRIT ratio with Foliar.

2. Primordial Jade Cutter

HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 1.2% of the wielder's Max HP.

Alhaitham's second-best weapon, thanks to its CRIT Rate stat and unconditional ATK bonus passive. As PJC is fairly universal, players likely already have it if they gave played for a while.

3. Mistsplitter Reforged

Gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for every element and receive the might of Mistsplitter's Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, Mistsplitter's Emblem provides a 8/16/28% Elemental DMG Bonus for the character's Elemental Type. The character will obtain 1 stack of Mistsplitter's Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals Elemental DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Burst (stack lasts 10s): Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full). Each stack's duration is calculated independently.

Alhaitham can fairly reliably maintain 3 stacks of Mistsplitter in most rotations after using his full combo.

4. Haran Geppaku Futsu

Obtain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. When other nearby party members use Elemental Skills, the character equipping this weapon will gain 1 Wavespike stack. Max 2 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0.3s. When the character equipping this weapon uses an Elemental Skill, all stacks of Wavespike will be consumed to gain Rippling Upheaval: each stack of Wavespike consumed will increase Normal Attack DMG by 20% for 8s.

With Haran, Alhaitham will focus more on normal attack combos - it provides both Elemental DMG and NA DMG which he needs. Additionally, the bonus crit makes building artifacts easier.

However, the weapon requires other party members to cast their skills to trigger its full passive. This means Alhaitham must be at the end of a rotation when using Haran.

5. Freedom Sworn

Increases DMG by 10%. When the character wielding this weapon triggers Elemental Reactions, they gain a Sigil of Rebellion. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field.

When you possess 2 Sigils of Rebellion, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain "Millennial Movement: Song of Resistance" for 12s. "Millennial Movement: Song of Resistance" increases Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG by 16% and increases ATK by 20%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Rebellion for 20s. Of the many effects of the "Millennial Movement," buffs of the same type will not stack.

Slightly better than his 4-star options. The 20% ATK buff is particularly beneficial for ATK-scaling Electro teammates in Quicken teams. Note that the buff can have desync issues in rotations shorter than 20s.

6. The Black Sword

Increases DMG dealt by Normal and Charged Attacks by 20%. Additionally, regenerates 60% of ATK as HP when Normal and Charged Attacks score a CRIT Hit. This effect can occur once every 5s.

Good 4-star option that also provides additional healing through its passive. This allow Alhaitham to function better in bloom teams.

7. Toukabou Shigure

After an attack hits opponents, it will inflict an instance of Cursed Parasol upon one of them for 10s. This effect can be triggered once every 15s. If this opponent is taken out during Cursed Parasol's duration, Cursed Parasol's CD will be refreshed immediately. The character wielding this weapon will deal 16% more DMG to the opponent affected by Cursed Parasol.

Toukabou Shigure is a very effective f2p friendly weapon - it shines against single target fights. The uptime of the Toukabou Shigure is more than long enough for Alhaitham to do his full combo.

8. Iron Sting

Dealing Elemental DMG increases all DMG by 6% for 6s. Max 2 stacks. Can only occur once every 1s.

A general stat stick for Alhaitham. Players need to get the Iron Sting's refinement level up as high as possible for maximum effectiveness.

9. Xiphos’ Moonlight

The following effect will trigger every 10s: The equipping character will gain 0.036% Energy Recharge for each point of Elemental Mastery they possess for 12s, with nearby party members gaining 30% of this buff for the same duration. Multiple instances of this weapon can allow this buff to stack. This effect will still trigger even if the character is not on the field.

Xiphos’ Moonlight satisfies Alhaitham’s ER requirements and providing team Energy.

10. Sapwood Blade

After triggering Burning, Quicken, Aggravate, Spread, Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon, a Leaf of Consciousness will be created around the character for a maximum of 10s. When picked up, the Leaf will grant the character 60 Elemental Mastery for 12s. Only 1 Leaf can be generated this way every 20s. This effect can still be triggered if the character is not on the field. The Leaf of Consciousness' effect cannot stack.

Great for Dendro Characters like Alhaitham since he is able to activate Sapwood Blade's effects. This makes his inclusion in Quicken/Aggravate teams worthwhile.

While Energy Recharge is great for Elemental Burst uptime, the lack of Crit might hamper his damage a bit.

Genshin Impact's 3.4 update is going to come out on January 2023, bringing the new 5 star Dendro character Alhaitham. Similar to all previous 5 stars, Alhaitham is going to be released alongside his signature weapon, the 5 star sword 'Light of Foliar Incision'.

If you are going to main him, pulling for this weapon is a must. In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase everything you need to know about Light of Foliar Incision In Genshin Impact, including Skill, Stats and Materials.

Light of Foliar Incision Skill & Stats

The Light of Foliar Incision has one of the lowest base attacks amongst 5-star swords, with the same base damage as the Primordial Jade Cutter and the Key of Khaj-Nisut. What makes this sword special is its substat of CRIT DMG. Besides it, only the Mistsplitter and Blackcliff are CRIT DMG sword, and the Light of Foliar Incision has TWICE their value - with a 88.2% bonus, this is a MUST-PULL weapon.

•  Base Attack: 44.34 - 541.83
• Base Substat: Critical Damage 19.2% - 88.2%

Skill: Whitemoon Bristle

Note: the effect increases from R1 to R5

CRIT Rate is increased by 8/10/12/14/16%. When Normal Attacks deal Elemental DMG, the Foliar Sanction effect will be obtained, increasing DMG dealt by Normal Attacks and Elemental Skills by 120/140/160/180/200% of Elemental Mastery. This effect will disappear after 16 DMG instances or 12s. You can obtain Foliar Sanction once every 12s.

Light of Foliar Incision Ascension Materials

Below is a list of all the Ascension Materials you need to max out this weapon in Genshin Impact:

• 5x Copper Talisman of the Forest Dew
• 14x Iron Talisman of the Forest Dew
• 14x Silver Talisman of the Forest Dew
• 6x Gold Talisman of the Forest Dew
• 23x Desiccated Shell
• 27x Sturdy Shell
• 41x Marked Shell
• 15x Faded Red Satin
• 23x Trimmed Red Silk
• 27x Rich Red Brocade
• 225,000 Mora

Players can get the Talisman of the Forest Dew materials in the Tower of Abject Pride on Monday, Thursday and Sunday. They drop from the fungus enemies.

All 3 levels of shells drop from Lv. 60+ Blessbone Beasts. Lastly, Red Satin can be found by defeating Lv. 60+ Eremites.

Which characters can use Light of Foliar Incision?

With a raw stat bonus of 88.2% crit damage and 8% crit rate (R1), this weapon is pretty much usable on any DPS sword user (as a stat stick).

The passive works on characters whose normal attacks deal elemental damage and scales based on EM, which means only Dendro sword users should be able to use it to the fullest potential.

Alhaitham

It is rather obvious that the banner character is the best user of the weapon. Alhaitham's Skill infuses his normal attacks with Dendro, allowing players to trigger the passive. Furthermore, Alhaitham's ascension stat is also EM, which synergizes super well with it.

As both Alhaitham's Skill and Burst can infuse him, players should be able to trigger the sword's skill as soon as the cooldown ends.

Keqing

Alhaitham has a very similar playstyle to Keqing, and because of that, Keqing can actually use his weapon just fine. Her infusion can trigger the passive to deal extra damage.

This should be the most effective in a Dendro + Electro (Aggravate) lineup, where Keqing builds a bit of EM to increase her Aggravate damage.

Ayaka

Ayaka can gain Cryo infusion after sprinting, which means she can trigger the passive at any time. This allows her to gain extra damage from the Light of Foliar Incision fairly easily. However, Ayaka usually does not build much EM so the bonus won't be that big.

Ayato

Ayato's Skill gives his normal attacks a Hydro infusion. The Light of Foliar Incision should be just as good on him as his signature weapon Haran Geppaku Futsu.

Nilou

Nilou's Skill infuses her Normal attacks with Hydro. If players already got good HP artifacts on Nilou but do not have much CRIT DMG yet, the Light of Foliar Incision should be a competitive option.

Additionally, as Nilou always plays in a Bloom team due to her passive, her EM should be at a decently high level to support the weapon.

How strong is Alhaitham?

Alhaitham's whole kit is geared toward dealing crazy Dendro infusion damage. He has some very high scaling and should be the best Dendro DPS character yet. If players want to build a spread team, pulling for him is a must.

His gameplay revolves around summoning 3 Chisel-Light Mirrors with his skill and charged attack (need ascension passive 1). Afterward, he can fire his Burst, which can deal up to 10 instances of damage if there are 3 Mirrors on the field. At level 10, each damage instance deals 218.88% ATK + 437.76% Elemental Mastery as Dendro damage.

This number is broken and he is likely to get nerfed in the release version.

Kazuha is a 5-star Anemo Sword character that provides strong crowd control, team buffs, and Elemental application. While he does not need high investment to support, having a good sword on Kazuha would allow him to deal much higher damage.

In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the top 10 best weapons for Kazuha in Genshin Impact 2023.

1. Freedom-Sworn

Freedom-Sworn is almost always Kazuha’s best weapon. It can be his highest personal DPS weapon in some teams, and the buffs it offers can boost his teammates’ damage significantly. Even with limited uptime on its passive’s buffs, the EM substat is already enough to justify using it over most other options.

It can deal a little bit more damage than an R5 Iron Sting at R1.

Is Freedom Sworn good on characters other than Kazuha?

All support sword users can likely use freedom sworn to some extent if the passive works to apply the bonus to the active character and not the support.

2. Iron Sting

Kazuha’s best 4-star option in teams with low Energy Recharge requirements. Iron Sting’s EM secondary stat allows Kazuha to buff his teammates more while also providing some respectable damage. Iron Sting isn’t too far behind Freedom-Sworn in terms of personal damage, and it can provide greater team utility than all other 5-star options.

3. Favonius Sword

A great option for Kazuha when needing more ER. With an EM Sands, Favonius Sword performs better than Iron Sting and an ER Sands, especially when taking into consideration the particles it generates for his teammates. When Kazuha’s ER requirement is lower than 160%, Favonius Sword becomes less valuable than weapons with an EM secondary stat like Iron Sting.

4. Xiphos’ Moonlight

Can become Kazuha’s best 4-star option at higher refinements. With the Energy Recharge it gives Kazuha and his teammates, Xiphos’ Moonlight maximizes Kazuha’s buffing potential by lowering his ER requirements while also providing EM through its secondary stat. Since it is difficult to obtain, Favonius Sword or Iron Sting can be more accessible options that provide either ER or EM.

5.  Skyward Blade

Skyward Blade lets Kazuha use an EM Sands instead of an ER Sands. While providing a small damage increase over 4-star ER options, the passives on most 4-star ER swords make this option less favorable in almost all situations.

6. Sacrificial Sword

Sacrificial Sword ideally allows Kazuha another cast of his Skill, thereby increasing his personal damage. However, the field time he takes from other members of his team could lower overall team DPS. Like with his C1, more consideration should be taken depending on the team Kazuha is in. For DPS characters that have built-in downtime (like Childe or Hu Tao), Sacrificial Sword doesn’t pose as much of a problem.

7. Toukabou Shigure

Basically the same as Iron Sting, except slightly better in single-target scenarios and slightly worse in multi-target situations. Nonetheless, it does match Kazuha’s outfit if that is an important aspect of his gameplay to you.

8. Festering Desire

Although Festering Desire can help fulfill Kazuha’s ER requirements, its passive isn’t as useful as other options with ER secondary stats since Kazuha’s Elemental Skill DMG comprises only a sliver of his total damage (his A1 passive and Anemo-infused Plunge Attack do not benefit from Festering Desire’s passive).

9. Sapwood Blade

Not recommended in teams without Dendro. Its passive at R5 can be beneficial in teams where Kazuha can trigger Dendro-related reactions. However, its lower ER secondary stat can make this option less desirable than Favonius Sword if Kazuha has a higher ER requirement. Nonetheless, providing 120 EM through its passive at R5 while also helping meet Kazuha’s Energy needs makes this a viable option in Dendro-related reaction teams.

10. Dark Iron Sword

Kazuha’s best 3-star option. It is only slightly worse than Iron Sting in terms of Kazuha’s personal damage, but requires Kazuha to trigger an Electro-based Elemental Reaction. Furthermore, it provides lower EM than Iron Sting, limiting Kazuha’s buffing potential. Only recommended for newer players or those who do not have or will not use billets.

One of the two featured weapon in the Genshin Impact 3.3 weapon banner is Itto's Signature weapon Redhorn Stonethresher. It is a powerful claymore with an insane 88.2% Crit DMG sub-stat, which means other characters can use it fairly effectively and not just Itto.

In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase everything you need to know about the Redhorn Stonethresher in Genshin Impact to see if it is worth pulling or not.

Stats of Redhorn Stonethresher In Genshin Impact

According to its previous owner, this weapon is the "Mighty Redhorn Stoic Stonethreshing Gilded Goldcrushing Lion Lord" that can send any monster packing with its tail between its legs.

• Base ATK (Lv. 1 - 90): 44 - 542
• Sub stat (Lv. 1 - 90): 19.2% - 88.2% CRIT DMG

Passive: Gokadaiou Otogibanashi - DEF is increased by 28%/35%/42%/49%/56%. Normal and Charged Attack DMG is increased by 40%/50%/60%/70%/80% of DEF.

Overall, the stats of this claymore is excellent, with its low base damage balancing out its high Crit DMG sub stat.

What are the best characters to use Redhorn Stonethresher?

Overall, the stats are so good that all DPS claymore users can use the Redhorn, and not just characters who scale on DEF. Powerful DPS like Diluc, Eula and Razor could definitely use the high Crit DMG bonus.

The best characters for the Redhorn Stonethresher, however, are Claymore characters who scale based on DEF:

Arataki Itto

With the weapon designed for Itto, it is pretty obvious that all aspects of it support Itto's kit. The Redhorn boosts Charged attacks damage, which is what Itto spam repeatedly after activating his Burst. On top of that, the DEF passive boosts both Itto's damage bonus gained from his Burst and 4th Ascension Passive.

Noelle

Similar to Itto, Noelle's kit also scales based on DEF. The extra DEF from the Redhorn boosts both Noelle's shield strength and burst DMG - both support and DPS Noelle should be able to enjoy this bonus. Her normal attacks during Burst also enjoy the bonus damage. If you are maining Noelle with C6, getting the Redhorn would turn her into an SS-tier character.

Xinyan

Xinyan is actually one of the less-used characters with a kit based on DEF. On top of her DEF-scaling shield, she also gains an ATK Bonus equal to 50% of her DEF. If you for some reason have Xinyan C6, getting the Redhorn can pretty much turn her into a competitive DPS character.

Redhorn Stonethresher Ascension Materials

Below is a list of all the Ascension Materials you need to max out this weapon in Genshin Impact:

• 5x Narukami's Wisdom
• 14x Narukami’s Joy
• 14x Narukami’s Affection
• 6x Narukami’s Valor
• 23x Concealed Claw
• 27x Concealed Unguis
• 41x Concealed Talon
• 15x Old Handguard
• 23x Kageuchi Handguard
• 27x Famed Handguard
• 225,000 Mora

Players can get the Narukami materials in the Domain of Forgery: Altar of Sands on Sunday, Tuesday, Friday. They drop from the slime, abyss mage and mitachurl enemies.

All 3 levels of claws drop from Rifthounds. Lastly, handguards can be obtained by defeating Kairagi and Nobushi enemies in Inazuma.

Faruzan has recently been released alongside the Wanderer in Genshin Impact. And she gives out the researcher vibe with her geometrical animation every time she releases a Polyhedron.

This character can amass 80 Energy in order to cast her Elemental Burst and needs a high ATK base to support her allies. To maximize the power of this Anemo bow user, you can take a look at Faruzan best weapons below.

5. Sacrificial Bow

• Primary Stats: 565 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 30.6% Energy Recharge
• Refinement 5 Effect: After dealing damage to an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a 80% chance to end its own CD. Only occurs once every 16s.

In the game, Sacrificial weapons are ideal for Support characters. Faruzan is one of these units and the Sacrificial Bow is an important weapon for her build.

Another factor that makes it a great weapon for Faruzan as it has high Base ATK and Energy Recharge.

4. Favonius Warbow

• Primary Stats: 454 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 61.3% Energy Recharge
• Refinement 5 Effect: CRIT hits have a 100% chance to generate a small number of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Only occurs once every 6s.

Favonius weapons can make any Genshin Impact character become a Battery. While Favonius Warbow has a low Base ATK, it can still help characters like Scaramouche, Xiao activates their Bursts more.

Faruzan also benefits from this Energy Recharge amount provided by Favonius Warbow, especially when you want to restore her Energy demand.

3. Polar Star

• Primary Stats: 608 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 33.1% CRIT Rate
• Effect: Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG increased by 12%. After a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst hits an enemy, 1 stack of Ashen Nightstar will be gained for 12s. When 1/2/3/4 stacks of Ashen Nightstar are present, ATK is increased by 10/20/30/48%. The stack of Ashen Nightstar created by the Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Burst, or Elemental Skill will be independently counted from the others.

One of the best Faruzan weapons is Polar Star, although Amos’ Bow and Thundering Pulse also have 608 Base ATK. In fact, most 5-star weapons play the role of stats boosters for Faruzan to enhance her ascension passive.

With Polar Star, you can activate the passive of the weapon while you deal Charged Attack, Burst, and Skill damage.

2. Skyward Harp

• Primary Stats: 674 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 22.1% CRIT Rate
• Effect: Increases CRIT DMG by 20%. Hits have a 60% chance to inflict a small AoE attack, dealing 125% Physical ATK DMG. Only occur once every 4s.

Currently, Skyward Harp has the most massive Base ATK compared to other weapons of the same kind. Since Faruzan needs high Base ATK, this weapon will be the second best choice.

Besides, this Bow can boost her stats by a 20% CRIT DMG and 22% CRIT Rate. For the unknown, this is also the best weapon for Venti.

1. Elegy for the End

• Primary Stats: 608 Base ATK
• Secondary Stats: 55.1% Energy Recharge
• Effect: A part of the "Millennial Movement" that wanders amidst the winds. Increases Elemental Mastery by 60. When the Elemental Skills or Elemental Bursts of the character wielding this weapon hit opponents, that character gains a Sigil of Remembrance. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field.

When the player has 4 Sigils of Remembrance, all of them will be consumed and all nearby characters will get the Millennial Movement Farewell Song effect for 12s. Millennial Movement Farewell Song boosts Elemental Mastery by 100 and increases ATK by 20%. Once this effect is triggered, players won’t gain Sigils of Remembrance for 20s.

Elegy for the End will be atop among the best Faruzan weapons once you unlock her 1st Constellation. You can seamlessly gain 4 stacks of Elegy by casting her skill, shooting her both Charged Arrows and then her ultimate.

This weapon can give your whole team 20% ATK and 100 Elemental Mastery.

Nahida is the most recent archon to be introduced into Genshin Impact and she is already deemed as one of the strongest characters already.

Instead of 5-star weapons, players who want to build the Dendro Archon can use some underutilized ones to make her viable. In fact, with proper ascension, they can perform very well with Nahida. Her focus on Elemental Mastery lets you choose from many options.

Thanks to this feature, you can consider these as Nahida weapons.

1. Nahida 3-star weapons

You can build Nahida in various ways and choosing the right Catalyst will make a big difference. For 3-star weapons, you can get them without much effort. Among these, consider which works best for you and make a choice.

Two main 3-star weapons for Nahida are Magic Guide and Thrilling Tale of Dragon Slayers.

Magic Guide

Get this catalyst from Genshin Impact’s gacha system. You may even get several of its copies in one turn of pulling.

Its substat focuses on Elemental Mastery and it has a special passive that can increase DMG against enemies affected by Electro or Hydro. Players can easily make this a good option for Nahida especially if they want to make her a DPS.

Thrilling Tale of Dragon Slayers

The second 3-star weapon for Nahida is the Thrilling Tale of Dragon Slayers although it is more about an off-field support-accenting Nahida.

In this case, she will be able to buff a stronger unit, preferably using Electro characters such as Cyno, Keqing, or Raiden Shogun.

Make sure to switch their rotations up to account for the catalyst’s cooldown time.

2. Nahida 4-star weapons

Compared to 3-star options, these 4-stars are harder to get. Overall, you should focus on damage and supportive builds.

If players want to focus on DMG for Nahida, the best weapons shall be the Mappa Mare or the Widsith. They will significantly buff her Elemental damage while offering her extra Elemental Mastery which can make her a strong DPS source.

For supportive role, weapons like Wandering Evenstar, Sacrificial Fragments, and the Favonius Codex are all good choices. The best one must be the Favonius Codex, especially with high refinement. It would offer your Nahida team comp a lot of Energy.

On another hand, the Sacrificial Fragments would allow Nahida to produce more Dendro energy. And the Wandering Evenstar can buff the whole team’s ATK with its unique passive.

A Thousand Floating Dreams, Nahida's signature weapon, is going to debut alongside her in Genshin Impact 3.2. It is designed for Nahida's kit, and getting C2 Nahida + weapon is pretty much the best combo a f2p/light spender can hope to get.

However, would the catalyst be useful for characters other than Nahida and should you actually try to get it? In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase a complete guide for the new catalyst in Genshin Impact 3.2

Stats and Effects of A Thousand Floating Dreams

A Thousand Floating Dreams has a maximum ATK stat of 541.83 at Level 90. Similarly, its substat is Elemental Mastery, and its value is 264.61 at Level 90. Overall, A Thousand Floating Dreams has the highest EM secondary stat out of all Catalyst in Genshin Impact right now.

Effect: A Thousand Nights’ Dawnsong

Party members other than the equipping character will provide the equipping character with buffs based on whether their Elemental Type is the same as the latter or not. If their Elemental Types are the same, increase Elemental Mastery by 32/40/48/56/64. If not, increase the equipping character’s DMG Bonus from their Elemental Type by 10/14/18/22/26%. Each of the aforementioned effects can have up to 3 stacks. Additionally, all nearby party members other than the equipping character will have their Elemental Mastery increased by 40/42/44/46/48. Multiple such effects from multiple such weapons can stack.

The bonus EM and elemental damage are the effects based on refinement levels (from 1 to 5)

Should you pull for A Thousand Floating Dreams?

If Nahida is solo Dendro with this on your team, she gets +30% Dendro Damage, and your 3 teammates get +40EM. This almost seems more like a DPS weapon for an EM scaler that has some throwaway buffs for teammates.

The weapon has EM main meaning you won’t need triple em artifacts and can slip a Dendro% in there. EM scaling is not linear, every single point of EM does a little bit less than the previous one. The curve is steep early and flattens out with more EM, so the more you have the less efficient it gets.

A Thousand Floating Dreams is probably designed for DPS Nahida. She’s very much like Kazuha, best as support, but can be a DPS as well. Currently, only Nahida can use this artifact to its full potential.

Ascension Materials for A Thousand Floating Dreams

Below are all the materials needed to ascend the catalyst A Thousand Floating Dreams.

• 5x Oasis Garden's Reminiscence
• 14x Oasis Garden's Kindness
• 14x Oasis Garden's Mourning
• 6x Oasis Garden's Truth
• 23x Damaged Prism
• 27x Turbid Prism
• 41x Radiant Prism
• 15x Fungal Spores
• 23x Luminescent Pollen
• 27x Crystalline Cyst Dust
• 225,000 Mora

Here is how Travelers can farm these Ascension Materials:

• Fungal Spores, Luminescent Pollen, and Crystalline Cyst Dust come from Fungi enemies.
• The Prism items come from defeated Primal Constructs
• Oasis Garden items come from Tower of Abject Pride on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday

Players can craft higher-level items from lower-level ones using Alchemy.

The Genshin Impact 3.2 Livestream is going to come out this Sunday, October 23. It is set to reveal content from the game's version 3.2 update, which will feature the next phase of Sumeru's storyline, including a powerful new weekly boss.

In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase everything you need to know about Genshin Impact 3.2 banner schedule.

1. Genshin Impact 3.2 character banners

Like previous patches, the new 3.2 update will have two phases where the banners will feature new characters and weapons. Two new Sumeru characters would appear on the event banners with three character reruns.

Phase 1

The first phase's banner will feature the Dendro Archon Nahida and the 4-star Cryo user Layla. It will start on November 2, 2022.

Yoimiya will be the second banner in phase 1. It is a shame, as every time she get a rerun, Yoimiya has to compete with a much more popular character.

Phase 2

The second phase of patch 3.2 will rerun Yae Miko and Childe, alongside their signature weapons Kagura's Verity and Polar Star.

2. Should you pull in 3.2 character banners?

Pulling for Nahida is pretty much a must. An archon is usually the most powerful character in a patch, and having her allows players to build all kinds of Dendro teams.

Nahida's kit is very well-built. Being a Dendro Catalyst who scales on EM, she has excellent synergy with Pyro, Hydro and Dendro. However, the best team for her is probably Hydro, as her Skill only reacts to Dendro cores damage. This Elemental Synergy also plays an integral part in her kit and potential damage output.

Her boost provides a lot of bonuses based on the type of characters you have in your party. Having two characters of the same element significantly increases the effects. She might even make Burgeon teams viable.

The second phase of the patch with Childe and Yae is not that attractive. Unless you want these characters, it is best to save your primos for the next Sumeru release.

3. Genshin Impact 3.2 weapon banners

Phase 1

The first Epitome Invocation of Genshin Impact 3.2 will feature A Thousand Floating Dreams, Nahida's signature weapon, alongside the Thundering Pulse bow.

A Thousand Floating Dreams

If players like Nahida and want to main her, it is best to try to pull for A Thousand Floating Dreams after getting her in the character banner.

• 5 Star Catalyst
• Base Attack 44.34 - 541.83
• Substat: 57.6 - 264.61 Elemental Mastery

Skill: A Thousand Nights’ Dawnsong

• Party members other than the equipping character will provide the equipping character with buffs based on whether their Elemental Type is the same as the latter or not. If their Elemental Types are the same, increase Elemental Mastery by 32. If not, increase the equipping character’s DMG Bonus from their Elemental Type by 10%. The aforementioned effects can have 3 stacks.
• Additionally, all nearby party members other than the equipping character will have their Elemental Mastery increased by 40. Multiple such effects from multiple such weapons can stack.

Thundering Pulse

The second banner features the Thundering Pulse, a bow with the second-highest CRIT DMG% in Genshin Impact. Because of that, the bow is highly versatile - any bow DPS character could make use of it.

Phase 2

The second Epitome Invocation will feature Polar Star and Kagura's Verity.

Polar Star

The Polar Star is an amazing tool for Main and Sub-DPS characters. Even at only 2-3 buff stacks, the weapon will give a substantial DMG increase to any character who relies on their Elemental Skill or Burst for DMG. It has the second-highest CRIT Rate out of any Bow.

Kagura's Verity

Kaguya's Verity is a niche weapon. It is good for characters who can spam their Elemental Skill. Yae Miko and Lisa are the best users, as they can cast their Elemental Skill three times in a row. The CRIT DMG stat is great if you want to build a DPS catalyst out of them.

4. Should you pull on 3.2 weapon banners?

Overall, 2 out of 4 five stars weapons in 3.2 are generalists that can be used on all characters. This means pulling for them is a good idea as you would get a usable weapon half the time.

The A Thousand Floating Dreams catalyst is the perfect weapon for Nahida, and if you already get her to a decent constellation, pulling for it is a great idea. With the weapon, players would be able to run Nahida as a main DPS instead of just being an off-field sub.

Kagura's Verity is probably the weakest weapon in this banner due to its niche ability. You need Yae in order to make the most out of it.

Xiphos Moonlight is a new 4-star sword in Genshin Impact. It's an ideal weapon for elemental supporters and sub-DPS in this game. Check out the best users for Genshin Impact Xiphos Moonlight and how to get it here.

Best Xiphos Moonlight Users

With a high base attack of 510 and Elemental Mastery of 165, Genshin Impact Xiphos Moonlight is an ideal sword for physical sub-DPS and elemental supporters. There are many characters who can optimize the power of this sword now.

#1. Kaedehara Kazuha

Kazuha is the best user of Xiphos Moonlight. He is one of the best supporters and sub-DPS in the game now. He is one of the two best characters who can take full advantage of Xiphos Moonlight's bonus effect. Kazuha can buff the Elemental DMG for the whole team with his Swirls. Moreover, he can give his team slight Energy Recharge buffs.

#2. Dendro Traveler

Dendro Traveler is the best Dendro character before the release of Nahida. Aether and Lumine can play as a sub-DPS and an off-field supporter with their elemental burst after resonating with the Dendro element in Sumeru. Therefore, both the primary status and the bonus effect of Xiphos Moonlight.

#3. Xingqiu

Xingqiu is a widely used Hydro sub-DPS and healer in Dendro teams after update 3.0. There are many elemental reactions of Dendro and Hydro elements. With the bonus effect of Elemental Mastery from Xiphos Moonlight, this Hydro sub-DPS can deal higher elemental DMG with skill and burst attacks.

#4. Kuki Shinobu

Like Kazuha, Kuki Shinobu also takes the best advantage of Xiphos Moonlight. It helps solve the weakness of her low Energy Particle generation. Then, this Electro healer can trigger more elemental reactions with other elements, such as Aggravate and Hyperbloom. Kuki Shinobu is also easy to obtain from many character banners.

#5. Nilou

Nilou is a new Hydro sword user. Like Xingqiu, Nilou can also trigger many elemental reactions and support Cryo, Electro, Pyro, and Dendro DPS. Therefore, Elemental Mastery is an important status for her. Besides, the high base ATK of this sword also makes Nilou a strong on-field sub-DPS in your team.

Moreover, you can use Xiphos Moonlight for many other sword users in this game who has low Energy Recharge. Moreover, it's one of the best swords for those who need Elemental Mastery buffs like Keqing, Mona, and Ayaka.

How To Get Xiphos Moonlight

Xiphos Moonlight is the 4-star sword featured in the current Epitome Invocation weapon banner in Version 3.1. The banner will end after November 1st, 2022. You cannot purchase or craft Genshin Impact Xiphos Moonlight in the present version. You need to use Primogems if you want to get this sword now.

Nilou's signature weapon in Genshin Impact, the Key of Khaj-Nisut sword, is going to come out during the second phase of Genshin Impact 3.1. It is a powerful weapon for sword users whose abilities scale based on HP.

In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase everything you need to know about the Key of Khaj-Nisut, including its stats and users.

Key of Khaj-Nisut stats & skill

The Key of Khaj-Nisut is the only weapon so far in Genshin with HP% sub stat, on top of the 20% bonus MAX HP from its skill. At the max level, it gives the user an extra 86.15% MAX HP.

Skill: HP increased by 20/5/30/35/40%. When an Elemental Skill hits opponents, you gain the Grand Hymn effect for 20s. This effect increases the equipping character’s Elemental Mastery by 0.12/0.15/0.18/0.21/0.24% of their Max HP. This effect can trigger once every 0.3s. Max 3 stacks. When this effect gains 3 stacks, or when the third stack’s duration is refreshed, the Elemental Mastery of all nearby party members will be increased by 0.2/0.25/0.3/0.35/0.4% of the equipping character’s max HP for 20s.

Should you pull on the 3.1 weapon banner?

If you are planning on getting Nilou, going for the 3.1 weapon banner is a good idea. The Key of Khaj-Nisut is pretty much designed for her - it is a crazy stat stick that gives massive HP and EM bonuses.

Primordial Jade Cutter is also great on Nilou or any other DPS sword user.

Upgrade materials

Which are the best users of Key of Khaj-Nisut?

Nilou

It is the signature weapon for Nilou who focuses on Bloom combo (Elemental Mastery) and scale on HP (MAX HP substat).

Ayato

Ayato's Skill gives his normal attacks bonus damage based on his MAX HP. Key of Khaj-Nisut would increase it significantly.

Layla

The new character in 3.2, Layla, has her whole skill set based around max HP. With the Key of Khaj-Nisut, she would be able to shield very efficiently and deal much more damage.

Kuki Shinobu

Kuki's heal and damage are based on her own HP - the more HP you have, the better. It is unlikely that Kuki would ever get this weapon if you have Nilou.
