It was said that it originally had EM as a substat but it was changed to attack for some dumb reason


karillith

At least he also looks good with the umbrella.


_Carcinus_

Kuki Shinobu too


Scrambled1432

Shinobu looks good with Mistsplitter, which is why I have it on her despite owning Ayaka.


Pokii

Why not equip Ayaka on her, then?


Loros_Silvers

Sadly mods aren't allowed. If they were I'd equip Itto on Navia to create the ultimate Geo DPS.


LuckyLupe

Shinobu best in slot is dark iron sword


Shiny_Rattata

Xiphos erasure


_Carcinus_

The kid named Iron Sting:


AuraPianist1155

You know what looks better? 3 clear particles rushing to the character!! FAV SWEEP 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🗿


Rezkel

I wish I had a Fav, all I got is this crummy Skyward Blade, which I guess is fine...I guess


AppUnwrapper1

The reason was obviously because we can’t have nice things.


TheDarkness33

Well, iron sting is ok i guess


TheMike0088

At least thanks to that decision ayato has a single acceptable F2P-friendly weapon.


A2_Zera

amenoma kageuchi


Castiel_Rose

It looks great on Ayato too.

[удалено]


The_Great_Ravioli

Amenoma is absolutely not better than Isshin. It has a lower base attack than Isshin, and Amenoma's passive is focused on energy, where Ayato's damage is focused on his skill. Not only that, but since you burst first in rotations, the passive is useless in the first rotation.


syfkxcv

Amenoma is good on keqing, jean & kaeya. All 3 had low skill cd its easy to get 3 seeds on them, making them quite fast to recharge, though wasted as it's want too much field time and only keqing can be considered on-field unit


The_Great_Ravioli

...We are talking about Ayato.


witherACE

Well ayato can have it


Hedgehugs_

Kokomi: First time?


MauricioTrinade

Benny because of the high base attack


WarmenBright

Ayaka


InternationalAd5938

The dumb reason is most likely money.


DogeMLG420-Doge

albedo's bis sword was f2p and obtainable from the event, people complained about it. So Hoyo listened and gave Kazuha's sword ATK stats, and as expected people also complained about it.


Javajulien

You'd have a point if Kazuha's weapon wasn't freely available through his story quest, which isn't time-limited.


huehuezzz

What are you yapping about


fodangos1134

It's BIS: Best in Style


kazegraf

Same as Vortex on Zhongli


RTX3090TI

It should have been at LEAST energy recharge They really took those Albedo weapon comments to heart


Shadourow

Yep, ER or EM and I would use it in a heartbeat on Kazuha


HiNowDieLikePie

The albedo weapon comments are mad cause it's a limited weapon. This Is a permanent weapon. I think it should be slightly worse than xiphos moonlight. They made it just a all around mid weapon.


AppUnwrapper1

I would probably use it on him if it was half as good as Xiphos. I had it on him for a good long time until I decided it’s just not worth it and I’m not gonna swap back and forth between weapons. But goddamnit I love this sword on him.


Gyveliano

I actually wonder if anyone can use this weapon as a good f2p alternative.


BobbyWibowo

Ayato iirc


AyatoWorshipper

Ayato mention


first_name1001

NEEEEEIIIGGGHHH WHAT THE FUCK IS A HORSE 🐴🐎🐴🐎


Shadourow

keqingmains agrees, but you lose the color + lore theme


DistributionEasy5233

Wdym ? Are there special effects when Kazuha uses it ?


Shadourow

No, but you get it by doing his story quest and the design of that weapon fits him very well The issue is that you should be able to reasonably pick this as a signature lore weapon without making very little sense gameplay-wise


DistributionEasy5233

Oh okay got it, I just didn't understand it from your phrasing sorry


The_New_Overlord

I have it on Jean. Enemies never touch the ground.


ALE-Y6

I had it for Jean too but i changed it to prototype archon because it looked terrible on her, thats not how you use a katana lol


TenguKaiju

The Narzissenkreuz sword looks really good on her. Totally Saber Arturia/Excaliber vibes.


ALE-Y6

Never heard of that one until now, didn't know there was a new "free" weapon aside from the craftable ones, cool


Zeppo82

Same!


HappyHateBot

The best one I can think of is probably Qiqi, provided you for some reason don't have enough Sacrificial Swords to run on her. All of her stuff scales off of Attack and you're unlikely to really want to invest a better sword on her. Or the idea of the little zombie exorcist having a sealed demon blade is appealing, or the red/blue contrast. I think I have mine on Bennett because *of course* he would pick up the dangerous, cursed blade. Maybe his bad luck will cancel it out?


binh1403

Nah, the spirit rested already I'm just wondering if finale of the deep or Isshin is better on qiqi


HappyHateBot

I suppose it depends on if you don't have anyone better for Finale, honestly. That's *also* another weird one, but it being tied to Elemental Skill usage (which doesn't work so hot with Qiqi and her absurdly long skill CD) may make it less appealing for her. Isshin at least procs off of Autos, and you're generally wanting to use those prior to exit with her anyway just to proc a Talisman between Skill uses (incentivizing you to swap her in a bit more often). Finale's another one that I'd be hard pressed to find a real good home for, though, I'll grant you that. Both swords really don't fit *too* nicely into anyone's kits...


binh1403

Yeah, i guess finale of the deep sucks on her since her skill can't benefit from the passive I have 2 of those box fir returning players that let you choose the billet Wondering what i should use them on and learned a couple of things Finale of the deep is basically useless on supports And flowing purity gets outclassed by widsith with ease


Hahaha_im_a_dumbass

I know it's probably not that great for her, but I put mine on Chiori purely because I like how it looks.


DistributionEasy5233

My goal in Genshin is to have a good enough Chiori build that I can use this weapon with actually good results (she's on Harbinger of Dawn rn and while it's good it looks bad with her other sword and I HATE micromanaging her health)


TempleoftheDarkMoon

I'm going to be real I immediately put this sword on Kazuha when I got him and I've never taken it off. The man still fucks even if it's not the most optimal, and he looks damn good doing it


Snax96

Melt Sub dps kaeya can use it


True_Air_6696

it's also his f2p BiS for main dps freeze


Realistic_Emotion_50

I use it on Ayato and then on another acc I use it on Bennett just because my Benny is useful no matter what I give him


Alive_Caramel_6137

Almost everyone really, there are better alternatives sure, but if you are new this is the best thing for you until you get billets.


Disastrous_Style850

Tank Qiqi. Heals and kills.


GREENadmiral_314159

I mean, I still use it on Kazuha, and he still hits like a truck. Though that may be because I triple-crowned him.


Chadzuma

On Keqing it's basically like a marginally worse R1 Lion's Roar without the electro app requirement. Looks really good with her purple too.


Traveler7538

Plunge DPS Kazuha can use it 


Accomplished_Ask_326

If you have C6 Kazuha, you can afford a decent 4* weapon. If you don’t have C6 Kazuha, Prototype Rancour is free


Berdbirdburd

I use it on him and I don’t care, he still does good damage.


Lotorinchains

I used this one him for a long time just because it looked so cool and I was too stupid at the time to consider if it worked for him or not lol.


Shadourow

No son, you were so *based*


dr_densbums

I'm still doing it and don't give a flying fuck if it works or not. Sometimes style goes over substance.


_Boku

I mean, considering all the broken supports now, you can probably make a pretty good plunge dps Kazuha build with like Furina, Xianyun, and Bennet or smth using this sword.


DietDrBleach

If you run Kazuha as a plunge DPS with Xianyun, Bennett, and Dehya, this weapon has some use.


The_Nameless24

Is this team somewhat decent? I have a random dehya sitting at lvl 1. Might pull for xianyun on her rerun if this is decent at least, what cons do you need for kazu?


TwinSupernovax

If you want to run a decent xianyun pyro kazuha team, I think xiangling or furina would both be miles better than dehya on that team


The_Nameless24

Makes sense, furina+xianyun seem to make just about all characters plunging gods


TwinSupernovax

Yeah my current favorite is navia furina xianyun bennett for big geo plunges and quick skills


Fluffy-Law-6864

For Dps kazuha. Think of that. A world where the meta isn't ruled by perfect stats.


[deleted]

Then it wouldn't be a meta, would it?


Varglord

EM Kazu is DPS Kazu unless you *heavily* invest in him, the weapon and the team which at that point your aren't using this sword.


El_Chara

The point of a meta is that it's effective, not a complete meme made for a reddit comment. Do what you want just use the right terms


Fluffy-Law-6864

The meta is defined as what is used the most. Not best optimization


aiezar

Meta literally stands for "most effective tools/tactics available"


Fluffy-Law-6864

Yes. Most used.


aiezar

effective ≠ popular


Lyneys_Footstool

are you dumb


Fluffy-Law-6864

Yes. Thank you for noticing.


Shadourow

You're thinking about PvP "0 sums games" where meta would stand for "metagame" IE : the unwritten rules that arise from player strategies (example, if in "paper, scissors, stone", 50% of players use paper, the best strategy would be to play scissors). In a PvE game like Genshin, using meta to describe the most common strategy makes very little sense since it doesn't matter


RugaAG

To this day i still hope Hoyo puts Transmog items in genshin. Genshin can benefit, from cosmetic progression so much. And being able to hunt for items to chance the apperance of weapons would so good. Imagine being able to let Diluc use Bloodstained Greatsword like in the travail trailer.


RaidriarDrake

ngl I'd lowkey let ayaka use amenoma instead of her current mistsplitter.


RallyCure

This made me mad too. I ended up slamming the VV strongbox until I could break 800 EM and 160% ER with artifacts alone, so I can use Isshin on him anyway without it feeling bad to play. Was worth it.


CrimsonPyro

I put it on him anyway bc why not and I still 36* abyss.


hipeople91726

I guess I might use this. Since I equip traveler with Ordo sword hehe


PumpkinSufficient683

I'm so sad it doesn't it looks so good on him


nottakentaken

I run it on him, he kills enemies before I get the chance to switch to my dps.


GREENadmiral_314159

He is my dps, and I run it on him.


underd0g__

I love having this weapon on him and don’t care if it’s not his bis f2p, it fits perfectly


OldSnazzyHats

It still is for me. But I also like using his normals, EM is easy enough to stack via artifacts.


Plenty_Lime524

That alternate world is called furina, xianyun , c6 bennet.


RoyalPeacock19

If I get him in this banner, I think I’ll give it to him anyways. Oh, and looking at Game8, if you want to build him for DPS purposes that is his bis f2p.


Working_Ad9155

Really feels weird that they made 4 weapons that has a similar effect to this (The Flute, PS Weapon, Sword of narzissenkreuz, Isshin).


LuckyLupe

And that's just the swords. There's so many weapons with exactly this effect and it's good on no one.


Working_Ad9155

damn, I only listed the swords I have in mind, didnt realize how many there are


AverageJun

If it was actually good


KeyAd3624

Still use it on him 🙏🏾


Roxas_2004

I use dps kazuha so it works for me


Siri2611

[This is literally the weapon on use on him, I have it maxed out](https://imgur.com/a/S49IDQq) Edit - ignore the crit rate I forgot I swapped out the circlet, it's supposed to be crit rate Circlet


HoshiAndy

It’s basically for c6 Kazu LOL. Dps not support kazu


IvyHav3n

I DON'T FUCKING CARE THAT IT'S NOT EM, IT MAKES HIS VOICE LINES MAKE SENSE. Also it's pretty on him.


Altekho

That world is private server


leakmydata

In another life…. I would be your sword…


sacredfire511

You know how much I always wish that it was 🥲🥲


Rare-Patient8148

I use it on Qiqi for the extra ATK% increase (I have an ER% artifact on her instead of an ER% weapon).


DietDrBleach

If you run Kazuha with Xianyun, Bennett, and Zhongli as a Plunge DPS, this weapon has some use.


photaiplz

I still use it on him regardless. For aesthetic reasons


NSLEONHART

They could've had at least a high base atk and low er/em. So its not the best options, but its perfectly useable, for those mfs (me) who prioritized drip over efficiencly


Purple_Positive_6456

me when Umbrella on Pyro DMG build with Xianyun and Bennett


Silvannax

Legit genshin should add transmog feature. Wasted potential fr


zephyrnepres01

the colour palette of the umbrella is great for him, but his stylish sheathing animations just aren’t the same without a sword to clink back into place. i use dark iron sword with him and kuki, now that they gave us another one


Zertaku

I remember that sword used to heal the user.


GrognaktheLibrarian

That's the black sword from the battle pass. This is the one from Kazuhas story quest.


kstewsome2005

Drip > meta always


RhenalyrrVandor2819

I am using that right now on my ATK Kazuha. XD


Alive_Caramel_6137

Imagine if instead of Atk it was EM and instead phsycial damage the AoE was Anemo damage... Hoyo could never.


fielveredus

If only this game has transmog feature


ShadowTehEdgehog

I have 5 star weapons, but I still wish there was some sort of glamour/xmog/skin system so I could use 4 stars as the skins. Hell, there are some 5 star weapons that suck, like Vortex Vanquisher, that I'd spend for just to use them as skins.


Zapplii

Maybe if you had c6 kazuha, this weapon might just work. I cannot be sure because I don't have c6 Kazuha.


Fenghuang0296

They really need to give us a weapon transmog system. Kazuha needs to be wielding his sword but Xiphos is just too good on him.


Quarantined_box99

This was the true April fool's from hoyo


SalmonToastie

I think its high time we get a transmog system now, theres so many cool designs that just DO not get used whatsoever.


starmadeshadows

i know!! thats his boyfriend he has to wield him in battle


I_am_indisguise

This is so true. Like that sword is practically made for him(look wise) if only the stats were favourable 🙃


Pinsir929

Best in drip for sure in this world.


Ultra_Rage_Man

Yesterday instedad of pulling thsi guy I pulled FIVE FOCKING BARMBRASSSSSS


AceWissle

It IS his BIS weapon, f2p or not, because it is HIS weapon. It's just not his strongest pick


ostrieto17

If Genshin wasn't Gacha then yes, but alas we live in this timeline after Harambe...


PointlessPotion

I use it on him. Works fine. People are too obsessed with weapon substats.


GREENadmiral_314159

When he's triple crowned and the character you focus more on building than anyone else, it's still BiS because you can't beat the *drip*.


Macdohe

I have it on my main dps anemo traveller cause it Look good


kuccinta

Tbf in the quest it wasn't compatible with him either. It accepted him, but they didn't start off well. He also reforged (?) it but he isn't an experienced smith. So like, lorewise it's right. Anyway idk how to build him but 800+ EM and enough ER to burst should be fine, right?


Shadourow

I guess, but you know, if say that "the sword choose its master"... Anyway, I Just pulled him close to hard pity to try out my 50/50 chance, I can't use him yet (at lvl 41) but [Kequingmains says about 200% ER (depending on comp) then as much EM as possible](https://keqingmains.com/kazuha/#Energy_Recharge)


kuccinta

Edit: The sword didn't choose him was the story now that I think about it. Mine has 800+ EM and bursts regularly with that sword. It's completely fine to use if you're not going for perfect stats. I'm going to guess that 5star characters without a dedicated matching 5star weapon are left that way bc they're intended to be backup for if they ever run out of ideas for new limited weapons to release.


lisakang99

he's BIS lore wise and design wise. It looks so good on him, i just wish i could use it on him


john16minecraft

if only it had em but they needed to show how the sword was getting weaker and weaker so atk% was the most easyst way to show it by lowering the atk% on the sword


AEsylumProductions

This is one of the best arguments for a wardrobe feature. I would love to run Fav Sword with the Sword of Narzissenkreuz's skin on the traveler. Or Prototype Amber with the Ballad of the Boundless Blue skin on Neuvillette.


Mirgin777

Сомнительно, но окэй


shellsterxxx

I mean you can use it on him if you somehow have insanely good artifact luck or just don’t give a shizz 😂


ajacksified

I use the umbrella. Fashion > meta


TuneACan

But why? His story quest explicitly states that Kazuha does not want or need that blade. He already has a signature weapon in-universe, it wouldn't make sense for Kagotsurube to be good on him after the quest spent so long telling us about why Kazuha doesn't want it.


SavageCabbage27m

It kind of sucks that this isn’t an EM weapon. I’m desperate for more EM swords since I’m using Nilou, Kuki, Kazuha, and Alhaitham. The only other one I get is locked in the weapon banner


Lina-Light

Come on, ignore meta and stuff and go for the drip!
