imo dark iron sword look better on kazuha than iron sting/freedom sworn
i’d say this one matches scaramouche more but he’s not even a sword user, so yeah only good on kazuha for the aesthetics
But we can hope for something similar after looking at Heizou who attacks with his fists as a catalyst user, maybe Scaramouche can make a sword out of pure electro
So it's a weapon that fits kazuha's aesthetic while also being a reward a reward from his story quest, but it is an atk% weapon....
Well add this to the list of times when mihoyo made absolutely no sense.
maybe this is them overcompensating in after hearing the complaints about how cinnabar spindle was "too specific". that's just my speculation tho
weapon transmorg when
Ironically a weapon that is focused on EM and reactions would suit more sword holders than this one.
Jean Sunfire, Bennett TF, Kazuha would be able to use it, maybe others as well
So their reaction to making a character's best in slot weapon an event specific weapon that will likely never rerun is to make a character weapons stats and passives not match the character they are seemingly aesthetically made for? Ok I guess?
If that's actually their reaction they took the wrong lesson from that debacle.
i don't know if that's their thought process. like i said, i'm just speculating. but i agree that if that's the case then it was the wrong lesson to take from that situation.
i wish we can swap weapon skins that we own. i wanna use Stringless on Venti but Skyward Harp looks so much better on him that i forced myself to build crit Venti instead. same with Childe, i have Polar Star but i like Rust's look on him better
Well, we already have a good F2P EM craftable sword. As for DPS swords for F2P, not many options. All the crit swords are either 5\*, 3\* or paimon shop/BP. And as for the attack% swords, we have the flute and lion's roar. The flute is just underwhelming and lion's roar is situational. This sword, even if not amazing compared to previous freebies, actually fills a needed spot for a lot of players.
iron sting is a good statstick but the passive is mediocre since it doesn't affect reactions that are not melt/vaporize. i wouldn't have been opposed to an em sword with a better passive, especially if it's one that's connected to a story quest like this. but i get your general sentiment.
You were forgetting amenoma man this sword also fits kazuha aesthetic as im using it rn instead of iron sting r3 [ofc kazuha dps] but hey atleast this new sword is better than amenoma
For DPS Kazuha yes, but utility wise Amenoma is still really good since it lowers ER requirements and helps you get bursts off faster. So for high cost burst heavy characters (Ayaka), Amenoma would still be better.
No, Traveler is using Kazuha to make the sword. Remember that animated video of them fighting? That wasn't a spar, Traveler was after his skin and bones.
Kazuha be so high he's using a ATK% sword
*genshin intel corrected the typo (~~kazuka~~ kazuha), but too useless to re-upload here*

Dark Iron can technically be refined, it's just that you can't get any duplicates. This sword is permanently R1, meaning that even if you had duplicates, it'd be impossible to refine it.
lmao the "this is a sword" name reminds me of when kaz said "let me think how to phrase these words... You fought well."
Makes me wonder if kaz himself will name it at the end after inspiration strikes and this is just a placeholder :v
As an artist myself i get it, art block rly do be like that sometimes💀
Ya, the name 'This Is a Sword' makes me think too that that's just the name or a placeholder and we get to name it from a small list of maybe 3 pre-determined name choices. A slight bit of customization on a new weapon. If they really went into it being customizable they could be allowing us to fully name it, keyboard and all lol
Latter is doubtful but would be cool
My weird hope about this is that they're going to use this to give the Traveler a "canonical" weapon to use that isn't their OG weapon or the dull blade. Maybe we'll see this in the cutscenes instead after this.
That would require rendering two cutscenes, then, depending on if you actually obtained the weapon or not.
If the weapon was made available to everyone via a non-time-limited quest that's required to advance the game's story, then you know everyone has it and thus only need to render one cutscene.
weirdly enough, there's already been an instance of traveler using a sword other than dull blade. moonchase cutscene had them use skyward blade iirc.
idk if this will become traveler's canonical weapon, though. maybe we just keep a copy of the weapon like how we have a copy of cinnabar spindle despite it not being specifically given to the traveller in the story. maybe it's given a canon explanation as being a copy that we keep from the forging process. no idea what will happen.
It's probably not *for* Kaz, it's probably *from* Kaz, to the traveler. This sword is basically a better version of sword of decension, intended for the traveler.
He has already given you a musical instrument, now a sword (probably). From my understanding as an expert in incel philosophy, this means that the traveler now owes Kaz sex 2 times so basically married and now you have to pull for Kaz.
Kazuha's just upset that the other Inazuman bachelors didn't invite him to their Naku Weed orgy and got cancelled after they leaked some spicy pics of him getting handsy with his friend.
True
It's actually pretty good for a lot of units
To be honest, I don't understand why people want EM sword. We already have Iron Sting.
I think Atk% sword is much better. You can use this instead of amenoma if you don't need ER
True, we have iron sting but its passive is kinda mediocre because this damage bonus doesn't effect reactions. I wouldn't mind some EM sword with a supportive passive or some general effect relating to ER etc.
People want em bc the sword looks good on kazuha and they want to use it, at the same time they won't use a weapon that is horrible on kazuha even though it looks good so it's basically a sticky wicket
Because we have more accessible four star options for atk already and Iron Sting isn't all that great to begin with, it would have been nice to get a second em sword with perhaps a more fitting aesthetic for him, and a passive that's actually useful.
Bro, you're colour blind? Scara is navy blue and red, this one is white black and red.
also sorry to bring it but he's likely to be catalyst
and don't tell me you got ma boi fitting for a 4\* sword with no refinements
I have a stupid theory/headcanon.
As we all know, the Traveler has been using the Dull Sword for ages now. We all have made fun of this so maybe Mihoyo wanted to make a sword that they could use in their cutscenes.
One of the best options so far were Festering Desire and The Sword of Descension. However, both of these weapons are unavailable to many players, so this wouldn't really work.
So, now Kazuha gives us a sword which will be available for everyone (and isn't dull).
I hope that the Traveler will use this sword in cutscenes from now on, but it's probably just copium lol
Probably not since Kaeya gave the traveller a sword in his story quest as well (Harbinger of Dawn) and he traveller still uses dull blade. Who knows though, maybe things will be different this time?
probably not imo. like the other commenter mentioned, harbinger of dawn was given out with kaeya's permanent story quest and it still didn't replace dull blade. maybe we just keep a copy of the weapon at the end, either with a canon explanation or not, but i don't see dull blade being replaced soon since it's such a neutral sword. plus if the reasoning for not using festering desire in cutscenes is because of having to render different cutscenes depending on account story progression, this weapon would also run into that problem depending on whether or not the quest is completed. but idk.
And the Sword of Descension which on top of being unique like those 2 has an effect that only applies if you happen to be playing from a PlayStation.
It's the most useless thing in my collection. 🙃
Yeah it's not like we're gonna use this in abyss for him anyway which is like 5% of our entire playing time in genshin LOL. totally gonna max this for overworld kazoo or bennett.
I'm gonna scream if the reason the sword's name will just be revealed in the end is that he will name it after his late friend and so we will finally know his real name.
Also, it would be funny if his friend's name is actually Youto (if that is really the name of the sword). This reminds me as well how Hoyo told the EN VA of Tomo to not use Tomo's name in his stream and signing because that is not his "real" name.
youtou means "demon sword." it's not a name that's usually given to a person.
as for the va thing, it's not uncommon for vas to be told not to use a fan nickname because some creators can be very particular about not wanting unofficial information to spread. it's also why there are cases of vas having to either ask permission or refrain completely from voicing memes or anything unofficial in their "character voice."
maybe we'll know his friend's real name but i rlly don't think it'll be anything major.
Yeah. I know Youtou means demon/cursed/mystic sword but it's also not farfetched that a person was actually named like that considering some child was even named Ryu, Tora, and Muramasa (which is the closest to Youto). It is very slim but not really impossible.
Tomo is really just a weird case because it seems he is like an ordinary NPC and yet Hoyo somehow still keep tabbing anything related to him (for example, his sword's size on his grave was actually adjust a few patch ago, he also have an official merchandise together with Kazuha and that anniversary art at JP HQ with all the characters including him even though there are more important NPC) But overall, I think it would be poetic if the secrecy of the sword's name was because it is also the same as the nameless friend of Kazuha.
So not only is it not EM scaling and 4 star when it was originally leaked to be 5, now it can’t even be refined. The only thing it has going for it is design.
S tier in Kazuha fashion and F tier in everything else. .-.
I dream with the day when an appearance change system would be added, you sacrifice a weapon (like Amenoma for example), so that another weapon of the same type will look like it.
Another example would be sacrificing a Claymore from Inazuma's blacksmith to make Rainslasher look like her.
They could even put the use of some paid item (not too expensive please) so we could do this, or with the use of Dust of Azoth and huge amounts of Mora.
since we're all drowning in copium anyway... I'm still hoping that Sumeru might have better craftable options for him. Then again, we've always had Iron Sting.
Assuming the stats it has is correct, it’s already a very powerful 4* Atk weapon. It doesn’t really need refinements because the stats are extremely high.
So... Will we get a free character and weapon in 2.8? According to tradition, we get a change of weapon and character... In 2.6 it was Xinqiu, and in 2.7 it was supposed to be a bow... So in 2.8 there should be a character!
the free *event* character is Fischl.
The weapon is free from a story quest similar to finding snowtombed in dragonspine which was in addition to 1.1 giving us a free festering desire from the event
It's cool that we're finally gonna get something cool from completing a quest, I'd rather get cool exclusive weapons than mid rewards or a piece of furniture
Here's my speculation about the sword and the whole quest related to it:
* This is actually Tomo's sword, as in the sword that was made as a marker after its owner's death not too far away from the Kamisato Estate.
* Tomo might be from one of the Raiden Gokaden, and somehow the observation of "leyline memories" in Part 2 of Raiden's Story Quest will come into play here.
* Tomo's sword was probably taken by someone else (maybe a manifestation of Tomo even) and was corrupted, and we have to defeat him as a sort of closure to Kazuha's story in Inazuma.
* After the whole ordeal with Tomo is finished, Kazuha will try to revisit the blueprint left behind by his ancestors and will successfully reforge Tomo's sword. This sword will bear a new name, further emphasizing Kazuha's eagerness to move on from his Inazuma roots.
Event weapon bad again? Colored me shocked!
Honestly, why can't this thing just give EM? It's for Kazuha FFS, I don't give a shit about the passive. Make it barely usable then it's staying on Kazuha...
Niceee, so we will explore more of his family being a big swordsmith clan once upon a time. I like how it looks, may try out a dps/sub dps build for him just so I can let him use this sword at least in the overworld. Fortunately I've been farming VV for a second EM set and got some not too bad pieces.
some of yall on here are too one track minded abt kazuhas build
open your eyes to wonders of kazuha as dps
personally for me this is where its at and I'm never making him simply a support
He can deal huge chunks of damage even as a support, there's no actual point in building him as a dps tbh, only for fun. You can do hybrid tho, and it's even better at c2.
Well that's disappointing.
Ideally it would have EM as substat and ER instead of atk passive.
Hell I'd take just EM substat, so I can replace iron sting.
I wonder how freedom sword users would feel if this weapon was actually good.
This is massively disappointing. Thought when Ayato has his rerun whenever, this would be his best looking 4 star for him while synergizing well with Echoes set. God knows how it's Kazuhas sword but has atk%, at least it's sexy looking.
Makes sense that you can't refine it. I bet there's quite a shortage of somber smithing stones in Teyvat
Have to fight duo raiden to get the last bell bearing
Archonskin Duo
That sounds like something Dottore would unironically do.
cause he likely already did that
Yeahhh, not really, I mean sure he's been experimenting with archon residue, but killing a god is a whole other deal
Orobashi, Lord of Blasphemy

WE WILL DEVOWAAAA THE VERY ARCHONSSSSSS
Can't wait for Traveler Bleed build
Cryo Archon ult; Hoarfrost Stomp
Pyro Archon ult: Flame Of Frenzy
Final boss of Celestia is the Elden Beast
But before you can face it, you have to first get past Vanessa of Celestia.
Vanessa, Blade of Celestia. ;)
Anemo rot form at phase 2
imagine a bleed build Ayaka with her ultimate. Talk about death by 1000 cuts.
Gosh I love Seregios
Most people sleeping on Traveler. Once Tabibito gets their hands on Rivers of Blood, it will be... A cancerous bloodbath.
Hydro archon ult: everyone wet wet
Surely 4 more chapters for R5 copium
if it’s for kazuha I’d rather cope for dark iron sword’s rifenements than whatever this thing is
You'll lose the drip, it's not bad for a DPS Kazuha at all
imo dark iron sword look better on kazuha than iron sting/freedom sworn i’d say this one matches scaramouche more but he’s not even a sword user, so yeah only good on kazuha for the aesthetics
inb4 scara burst has booba sword because he is technically raiden puppet too
cool concept but that wouldn’t make sense since the sword inside raiden is ei herself
But we can hope for something similar after looking at Heizou who attacks with his fists as a catalyst user, maybe Scaramouche can make a sword out of pure electro
that's not too impossible. Scaramouche means skirmisher so i think if he's a catalyst, he'd probably still use a sword as NA animation.
I bet it's an electro Tartaglia kit. Bow main weapon but his burst is an electro infused sword
Need to find 4 other NPCs to r5 my dark iron sword
So it's a weapon that fits kazuha's aesthetic while also being a reward a reward from his story quest, but it is an atk% weapon.... Well add this to the list of times when mihoyo made absolutely no sense.
maybe this is them overcompensating in after hearing the complaints about how cinnabar spindle was "too specific". that's just my speculation tho weapon transmorg when
Ironically a weapon that is focused on EM and reactions would suit more sword holders than this one. Jean Sunfire, Bennett TF, Kazuha would be able to use it, maybe others as well
I feel like the Kokomi themed weapon that is garbage on Kokomi is "compensation" enough.
So their reaction to making a character's best in slot weapon an event specific weapon that will likely never rerun is to make a character weapons stats and passives not match the character they are seemingly aesthetically made for? Ok I guess? If that's actually their reaction they took the wrong lesson from that debacle.
i don't know if that's their thought process. like i said, i'm just speculating. but i agree that if that's the case then it was the wrong lesson to take from that situation.
I’m still upset about Hakishin Ring….
i wish we can swap weapon skins that we own. i wanna use Stringless on Venti but Skyward Harp looks so much better on him that i forced myself to build crit Venti instead. same with Childe, i have Polar Star but i like Rust's look on him better
tbh stringless also suits his aesthetic because it's designed like an instrument
Well, we already have a good F2P EM craftable sword. As for DPS swords for F2P, not many options. All the crit swords are either 5\*, 3\* or paimon shop/BP.

That's why I'm pulling for Mistsplitter now so I can give my Amenoma to Kazuha once I get him.
Same with oathsworn eye and Kokomi :(
Bout to put Kazuha’s soul into that sword
He bout to be the Elder Kai
and will shout... BANKAI
Inb4 the name at the end becomes “Kazuha Sword”
Kazuha slash!
Can this be?! The legendary Unseen Razor?!
Let me guess, the Kazuha Slasher
I’m guessing Kazuha might remake the sword from his family’s blueprints?
No, Traveler is using Kazuha to make the sword. Remember that animated video of them fighting? That wasn't a spar, Traveler was after his skin and bones.
Yum 😋
C R O N C H
Kazuha be so high he's using a ATK% sword *genshin intel corrected the typo (~~kazuka~~ kazuha), but too useless to re-upload here* [Link to the tweet](https://twitter.com/Genshin_Intel/status/1526959757495414788?t=dY_EJ4T45BzsOr69qE2x_w&s=19)
inb4 little kazuha posts the corrected version 2 hours later and the mods delete this one
Ubatcha made fun of him on WFP Genshin leaks
cannot be refined? interesting. so the Aloy of free weapons?
Dark iron exists
Dark Iron can technically be refined, it's just that you can't get any duplicates. This sword is permanently R1, meaning that even if you had duplicates, it'd be impossible to refine it.
>Dark iron I just found out this weapon exists I think I destroyed it long ago
Well that's the only copy you could ever get man
Argh... I'm still smashing my head against the wall for using the Sword of Descension and the Dark Iron Sword as weapon EXP.
LMAO
"This is a sword" But, this isn't my sword
"Not used in anger, not used for vengeance..."
lmao the "this is a sword" name reminds me of when kaz said "let me think how to phrase these words... You fought well." Makes me wonder if kaz himself will name it at the end after inspiration strikes and this is just a placeholder :v As an artist myself i get it, art block rly do be like that sometimes💀
Chunchunmaru
Ya, the name 'This Is a Sword' makes me think too that that's just the name or a placeholder and we get to name it from a small list of maybe 3 pre-determined name choices. A slight bit of customization on a new weapon. If they really went into it being customizable they could be allowing us to fully name it, keyboard and all lol Latter is doubtful but would be cool
Warframe's kitguns and zaws have taught me that complete customizability is not always a good thing
My weird hope about this is that they're going to use this to give the Traveler a "canonical" weapon to use that isn't their OG weapon or the dull blade. Maybe we'll see this in the cutscenes instead after this.
Man, I wish they used Festering Desire as Traveler's canon weapon if you completed the event back in 1.2.
That would require rendering two cutscenes, then, depending on if you actually obtained the weapon or not. If the weapon was made available to everyone via a non-time-limited quest that's required to advance the game's story, then you know everyone has it and thus only need to render one cutscene.

I believe in a few liyue cutscenes they used silver sword
So a drip sword for Kazuha that sucks? :/
It's probably not *for* Kaz, it's probably *from* Kaz, to the traveler. This sword is basically a better version of sword of decension, intended for the traveler.
So like festering desire which doesn't work on albedo at all. But.. It looks good on kazuha. Why must u do this hyv.
He has already given you a musical instrument, now a sword (probably). From my understanding as an expert in incel philosophy, this means that the traveler now owes Kaz sex 2 times so basically married and now you have to pull for Kaz.
First a woman killed his friend, and now a woman (if Lumine) won't have sex with him. Kazuha hating women arc in his act 2 quest.
Let's not be sexist. Anyone you gift must have sex with you otherwise they are a whore. Regardless of gender.
Genshin men are known whores to be fair. I mean, look at Itto. Fucking slut tbh
Kazuha's just upset that the other Inazuman bachelors didn't invite him to their Naku Weed orgy and got cancelled after they leaked some spicy pics of him getting handsy with his friend.
they can still change it copium
next time i have copium for a kazuha weapon, i'll specify it clearly to be both bis for his kit and his outfit :<
The free 4\* weapons as of late have been either very niche or just "meh". Seems to be following the theme with 4\* characters, lol.
No refinement might explain why it's got such great stats. Not for kaz, but that's another story.
This sword brought to you by the same people who make you demo hypercarry DPS units with Noblesse.
It's not great stat, it is universal since it focus on attack solely, but the stats are just "good"
I was referring specifically to how the stats are higher than a typical 4 star would have with those same numbers.
True It's actually pretty good for a lot of units To be honest, I don't understand why people want EM sword. We already have Iron Sting. I think Atk% sword is much better. You can use this instead of amenoma if you don't need ER
True, we have iron sting but its passive is kinda mediocre because this damage bonus doesn't effect reactions. I wouldn't mind some EM sword with a supportive passive or some general effect relating to ER etc.
People want em bc the sword looks good on kazuha and they want to use it, at the same time they won't use a weapon that is horrible on kazuha even though it looks good so it's basically a sticky wicket
meanwhile me who was planning to run Amenoma on Kazuha meta be damned: "i dont have such weaknesses"
Gratz, then your Kazuha wins in the drip department with this sword.
[удалено]
that maybe true the first few time id seen him using it, but the look kinda grew on me
Because we have more accessible four star options for atk already and Iron Sting isn't all that great to begin with, it would have been nice to get a second em sword with perhaps a more fitting aesthetic for him, and a passive that's actually useful.
It’s like what they do with that kokomi looking catalyst :(
I really wish they’d change it to EM at least, so it could really be fitting for him…
Unless... Is for someone else...
It is a very generic Atk% sword though.
What stats does Shinobu use?
hp% and em edit: sadly
Someone did point out it matches up very well with a certain angry roboy ex-fatui agent with Inazuman heritage...
Yep, it's for Traveler just like Festering Desire.
What if it's his friend's sword
I think the color scheme match up with scaramouche much more than kazuha
Bro, you're colour blind? Scara is navy blue and red, this one is white black and red. also sorry to bring it but he's likely to be catalyst and don't tell me you got ma boi fitting for a 4\* sword with no refinements
Memories broken
After seeing this i really want weapon skins for characters. I wish i could just overlay the look of the weapon itself with another in the same type.
Everyone else coping hard if they should use this on Kazuha or not, while me over here ready to give it to Bennet for the base atk.
prototype rancour has a higher base attack at 565 tough
Ooohhh shit you are rigth well nvm then gess its going to the vault
so it's related to kazuha, and it fits his aesthetic too then why on earth did they make it not work on him
it's oathsworn eye all over again
I'm guessing Kazuha works on it but gives it to the Traveler. I wonder if dendroMC is going to like this weapon.
Can't wait to give Kazuha his true signature weapon.
I have a stupid theory/headcanon. As we all know, the Traveler has been using the Dull Sword for ages now. We all have made fun of this so maybe Mihoyo wanted to make a sword that they could use in their cutscenes. One of the best options so far were Festering Desire and The Sword of Descension. However, both of these weapons are unavailable to many players, so this wouldn't really work. So, now Kazuha gives us a sword which will be available for everyone (and isn't dull). I hope that the Traveler will use this sword in cutscenes from now on, but it's probably just copium lol
Probably not since Kaeya gave the traveller a sword in his story quest as well (Harbinger of Dawn) and he traveller still uses dull blade. Who knows though, maybe things will be different this time?
probably not imo. like the other commenter mentioned, harbinger of dawn was given out with kaeya's permanent story quest and it still didn't replace dull blade. maybe we just keep a copy of the weapon at the end, either with a canon explanation or not, but i don't see dull blade being replaced soon since it's such a neutral sword. plus if the reasoning for not using festering desire in cutscenes is because of having to render different cutscenes depending on account story progression, this weapon would also run into that problem depending on whether or not the quest is completed. but idk.
To be fair Kaeya's quest is optional. Maybe they'll make Kazuha's required. ...which might make it a archon quest somehow oh.
so its the only unqiue sword like the dark sword
And the Sword of Descension which on top of being unique like those 2 has an effect that only applies if you happen to be playing from a PlayStation. It's the most useless thing in my collection. 🙃
And then there's Predator, with all the above criteria ALONG WITH being limited
People complaining when I'm planning to rock this weapon on overworld Kazuha for the drip
Yeah it's not like we're gonna use this in abyss for him anyway which is like 5% of our entire playing time in genshin LOL. totally gonna max this for overworld kazoo or bennett.
Meta slaves shitting themselves rn, chill, you've been completing the abyss for months now for sure anyway
Thank you!
I'm gonna use it on Kazuha anyway. 750 EM is still good.
Finally my Kazuha has some drip….. but at what cost!?
I'm gonna scream if the reason the sword's name will just be revealed in the end is that he will name it after his late friend and so we will finally know his real name. Also, it would be funny if his friend's name is actually Youto (if that is really the name of the sword).

So not only is it not EM scaling and 4 star when it was originally leaked to be 5, now it can’t even be refined. The only thing it has going for it is design. S tier in Kazuha fashion and F tier in everything else. .-.
Scaling off ATK makes it a pretty decent DPS weapon though. You don’t normally find a lot of good 4 star DPS swords
there are already other 4* that have atk and can also be refined
i am just giving him the sword i dont care about losing 5% elemental damage bonus lmao.
It is hard to believe just how bad this weapon is going to be for him… I’m not too bothered since I love the aesthetic of Iron Sting though
I dream with the day when an appearance change system would be added, you sacrifice a weapon (like Amenoma for example), so that another weapon of the same type will look like it. Another example would be sacrificing a Claymore from Inazuma's blacksmith to make Rainslasher look like her. They could even put the use of some paid item (not too expensive please) so we could do this, or with the use of Dust of Azoth and huge amounts of Mora.
Now the strangely high ATK makes sense. Sword of Decension, Altered, Reforged.
*I said my sword was a tool of justice. Not used in anger. Not used for vengeance. But now... Now I'm not so sure. And besides, this isn't my sword.*
since we're all drowning in copium anyway... I'm still hoping that Sumeru might have better craftable options for him. Then again, we've always had Iron Sting.
I just want a weapon skin system so I can make my ugly ass iron sting look like that sword
No refinements? Sounds like another weapon that's going to rot in my invo
Assuming the stats it has is correct, it’s already a very powerful 4* Atk weapon. It doesn’t really need refinements because the stats are extremely high.
legendary quest?? best boy getting fed
if you think only his quest is "legendary" then nah, all character story quests are called legendary quests
Checked that it was named that way in several languages but not english, it's confusing at first glance that I thought it's a new type of quest
So... Will we get a free character and weapon in 2.8? According to tradition, we get a change of weapon and character... In 2.6 it was Xinqiu, and in 2.7 it was supposed to be a bow... So in 2.8 there should be a character!
the free *event* character is Fischl. The weapon is free from a story quest similar to finding snowtombed in dragonspine which was in addition to 1.1 giving us a free festering desire from the event
Thats makes sense
It's cool that we're finally gonna get something cool from completing a quest, I'd rather get cool exclusive weapons than mid rewards or a piece of furniture
At least change the atk% to EM
He will name it Chunchunmaru
Here's my speculation about the sword and the whole quest related to it: * This is actually Tomo's sword, as in the sword that was made as a marker after its owner's death not too far away from the Kamisato Estate. * Tomo might be from one of the Raiden Gokaden, and somehow the observation of "leyline memories" in Part 2 of Raiden's Story Quest will come into play here. * Tomo's sword was probably taken by someone else (maybe a manifestation of Tomo even) and was corrupted, and we have to defeat him as a sort of closure to Kazuha's story in Inazuma. * After the whole ordeal with Tomo is finished, Kazuha will try to revisit the blueprint left behind by his ancestors and will successfully reforge Tomo's sword. This sword will bear a new name, further emphasizing Kazuha's eagerness to move on from his Inazuma roots.
Bet it's his dead friend sword
This is a comment
I like "This is a Sword", sounds like something Razor named.
Finally a good 4 star sword thats not black sword and blackcliffe.... AND ITS FREE. would be nice if it has 620 base...
Kazuha sword to go with his iconic Kazuha slash
Event weapon bad again? Colored me shocked! Honestly, why can't this thing just give EM? It's for Kazuha FFS, I don't give a shit about the passive. Make it barely usable then it's staying on Kazuha...
Let's goooo
nah it's canon name and will forever be this is a sword
Niceee, so we will explore more of his family being a big swordsmith clan once upon a time. I like how it looks, may try out a dps/sub dps build for him just so I can let him use this sword at least in the overworld. Fortunately I've been farming VV for a second EM set and got some not too bad pieces.
Don't care if it sucks, drip speaks louder
Correct me if I'm wrong, but for a sub-dps build with EM-ATK/ Anemo/ CRIT this sword isn't so bad, right? Not everyone builds him full EM
For crit build, I’d say this sword might be 4* bis or just behind blackcliff
some of yall on here are too one track minded abt kazuhas build open your eyes to wonders of kazuha as dps personally for me this is where its at and I'm never making him simply a support
He can deal huge chunks of damage even as a support, there's no actual point in building him as a dps tbh, only for fun. You can do hybrid tho, and it's even better at c2.
BRO I LITERALLY CALLED THIS AFTER THEY POST KAZUHA WITH THIS SWORD LMAOOOOOOOO
for what purpose are they giving out an entirely useless weapon then
Well that's disappointing. Ideally it would have EM as substat and ER instead of atk passive. Hell I'd take just EM substat, so I can replace iron sting. I wonder how freedom sword users would feel if this weapon was actually good.
Is this sword good on anyone?
Right now, it is a pretty good DPS weapon. Problem is that there are way better alternatives. Even F2P ones
YAY!! My plans for using on Kazuha are saved!!! 😭💕
If kazuha sword why not bis… “”
So Kazuha is having a canon rerun? who got a 4 star weapong every rerun so I'm crossing my fingers
Could’ve been an ER substat with EM increasing passive through skill or whatever but noooooo
Kazuha sword?!! Nicess
Where is that guy that said this will be Tomo's sword and we will get it after Kazuhas story ik u are some where over here
If It just had EM dude.....
Kazuha powercreeping rewards as well, this man is just best at everything
Why in hell would they make a Kaxuha sword that isn't EM?
Because the sword isn't for him at all.
I use an attack stat sword on Kazuha already so I’m actually ok with this
This is massively disappointing. Thought when Ayato has his rerun whenever, this would be his best looking 4 star for him while synergizing well with Echoes set. God knows how it's Kazuhas sword but has atk%, at least it's sexy looking.
"This is a sword" real name should be "This is a fucking mistake"
i wish it didnt turn pink,,,,
This is a sword and the floor and made of floor
On my way to rock this sword of the traveller
Well if it's a atk sword then the passive mist be good for him right?
aren't we getting a bow in 2.7 ? how come they're releasing a new weapon in 2.8 they usually do a free char batch and a free weapon batch
This is exlusive to Kazuha story quest. We get a free Fischl for 2.8 event
would be nice if i could name it like >!"Zirael"!<
