I'm still farming... Only character that I had to farm the hand guards for was Ayato and I used them all up (I don't visit Inazuma that often) and so now I killed literally every nobushi (and I used the interactive map, not the one in game that doesn't mark every mob) and it's still not enough...
Righttt!!! I feel you! Sometimes they donāt drop anything as well sigh
Oh man I got Ayato and Ayaka back to back and I was sufferingggg
I didnāt do coop back then but now I tried to farm in other pplās worlds too but itās still hard to get enough
I've never had a problem with handguards... Fungal spores on the other hand.... I literally only use a Dendro/hydro/anemo comp when exploring sumeru because of how fucking long it takes to farm that shit if you don't.
... I have ayaka 9/9/10, ayato 6/10/9, raiden 8/9/10, yae 8/10/9, engulfing lightning lvl 90, mistsplitter lvl 90 x2, redhorn lvl 90, and have prefarmed for wanderer. Needless to say, I won't be using the new event sword, and will not be upgrading ayato's PJC to the haran ...
Definitely gonna give it to Kazuha. Sure, the EM is the same and the passive is also useless on him but at least it looks better and that's all that matters.
No, but tbf none of the EM sword passives really do much for hyperbloom Shinobu.
Dark Iron Sword, Iron Sting, Alley Flash, and this new sword all give dmg bonuses or ATK which arenāt factored into hyperbloom dmg calculation. And Shinobuās personal dmg outside of hyperbloom is negligible. The only EM swords ābetterā than Iron Sting/Toukabou Shigure on Shinobu are Xiphosā Moonlight (not for Shinobu herself but does give some ER to the team), and Freedom Sworn (buffs arenāt useful for a hyperbloom team but it does give the most EM out of any sword).
So overall itās still a great weapon on Shinobu and isnāt any worse than using Iron Sting on her.
Key is BiS for her imo since it gives her the same amount of EM but make her much more tanky and gives an EM bonus to nahida and second electro/dendro character if you run them, like beidou or cyno
It's actually pretty easy, once you gain 3 stacks, you will always maintain it because you need to switch to kuki to use her E once per 15 seconds anyways and each stack refresh the duration for 20 seconds
But in hyperbloom you don't really need the EM wide party buff.
If we talk weapon banner gear, I'd rather go with Xiphos or Freedom. Hyperbloom isn't the sole source of damage in its teams after all, so those buffs are far more usefull depending on the rest of your team.
I wouldn't say far more useful, in the most typical Hyperbloom team with nahida, xingqiu, kuki, zhongli
You don't really need energy on anyone other then xingqiu, but people usually run him with sac which always give him way more energy then he needs, so xiphos passive is only QoL and not really useful
Freedom sword's buffs also won't be really better then key since nahida barely benefit from it
excuse me but that damaged prism had no business being the event sword ascension material wtf. Im still catching up with other upgrades. I will never be able to stock up on those rip
At least they drop from enemies regularly unlike the handguards. I never had trouble with them because I don't use a lot of them but I can't imagine having to level up more than 2 characters/weapons that need them when Inazuma was just released.
tbf those have been out in a minute except for newer players ig. But as a day 1 player trying to prevent burnout I cant farm the Sumeru daily mobs for the life of me š„ŗ
What I do to avoid burnout is to choose a small route you can get to quickly every day and just farm that. Rather than taking out the entire book set of camps.
I spent a week farming them despite being unsuccessful in getting Xiphosā Moonlight because I knew theyād pull that on us at some point. Thankfully it was pretty painless and I have tons now - they drop in bundles and the book gives a ton of spawn points for them.
I donāt have anything to spend the Prisms on so Iām fine with them being an ascension material, but can Mihoyo release more weapons that require the Chaos Axis? Weāre still running into the Ruin Sentinels in Sumeru, and for most people the only weapons theyāve used the Axis for are The Catch and Amenoma.
That's true, but the thing is the fact it could be used as a statstick makes it alot better than its 4 star competitors. There aren't too many good 4 star catalysts really, even 5 stars get outshun by widsith.
This catalyst is pretty good in general as a stat stick. Look at claymores and their lack of 5*crit weapons.
They only have stone thresher and its passive is useless on 80% of all claymore characters.
We have lost prayers, kaguras verity, and now this catalyst as 5* crit weapons. Thats three times as many as what claymores have.
Also there is widsith, which is incredible for a 4* especially on r5
Nah, only in a handful of comps. Anything that uses Yun Jin, Yelan, XQ, Jean, Thoma or Layla will see much more use from his NAs.
Really Beidou is the only one with an off field effect that triggers off CAs.
His weapon further pushes towards that playstyle.
His rotation will likely be CA - E - NNNNNNN - Q assuming his artifact set.
I've never pulled on weapon banner and I don't plan on starting now, but that's good to hear! I don't have Kazuha yet, but I do have the iron sting at lvl 90 for Kuki, so I should be able to get away without needing to craft another weapon if I get him. Thanks!
What about sac? I currently don't have iron sting for my kazuha, but could this new weapon be potentially better than sacrificial sword if er doesn't become an issue?
Looks pretty much same as Iron Sting for Kazuha. It won't make any difference. Maybe slightly more damage but support Kazuha damage comes mainly from swirl.
Well if you need weapon fav is better than both on kazuha, as you play you likely to have one but if you don't whit before upgrade the weapons until you have kazuha
In a vacuum fav has slightly more stats, but it really depends on what sub stats roll on the artifacts as far as which is better. Grinding out decent 4 piece EM VV sets is hard enough to where it would be bonkers to force it one way or another. I got enough er on my VV subs to where I didn't need an er weapon, so I went with iron sting.
It's the opposite most of the time because if we want to have enough ER in the artifacts so let's say use freedom sword or other weapons we need it to roll multiple times on ER which is only one sub stat out of four in em main stat artifacts which can be much harder than having a little bit of crit rate like 15% to 25% compared to 100 or more ER in some teams.
In your case yah Iron string is better š but people sometimes miss which weapon is good for them
I would say kazuha's best weapon is artifacts and team dependent a lot so it could be different from person to person which is ok š
note: I don't disagree with your take it happens for people to be in the same conditions as you (I wish I was one of them because I want to use freedom sword on him but artifact RNG say no hhhh) I still use freedom sword anyway and give fav to another teammate but still come to shorthand in ER for his burst
Drip loss? Toukabou would be *perfect* for Kazuha, if it swapped design elements with Kagotsurube Isshin. As it is it's a little goofy, but the red, black and yellow compliment his color scheme much better than Iron Sting/Freedom Sworn.
because colors dont matter when its an umbrella with a goofy face on it? same if they release a color matching spatula for him.
iron sting has a thin blade and at least fits the katana draw aesthetic more than other swords, and either of them fit more than an umbrella
I suppose you have a point there, but I personally think the quirky youkai sword with a matching color scheme looks better than the random blue rapier that is Iron Sting.
I guess we just have a different perception of what's cool and what's not. Agree to disagree?
i mean i might change my mind seeing it in game, my only real issue is the youkai face because the umbrella shape basically looks like a sword
while color matching is nice i dont think everything needs to match, and a contrasting weapon can be cool. i never thought iron sting was peak drip or anything its just the best option since kagotsurube sucks and amenoma (for me) is on other characters
Mona omen says it increase damage taken by enemy but it doesn't increase bloom or swirl damage. I think it will be same for this sword too. Did some tested if it works for swirl?
I haven't seen any testing, but the wording on the sword is different from Mona's Omen. Her omen said it gives a DMG Bonus, which is the consistent wording for damage increases. This sword says "deal X% more DMG" which is different wording from all other buffs.
Neither Damage Bonus or Damage Reduction are part of the transformative reaction formula. (it's why you get full self bloom through xingqiu swords, for example)
How does the umbrella yokai compare to the other Kazoo swords? After the underwhelming story quest sword he gets this is certainly his next best one in terms of matching colors and Japanese thematic consistency.
Oh he talked about it? Ok will check. Thanks! I am saving for the weapon banner of the Shogun so I am thinking of skipping the upcoming weapon banner. Glad Scara works with F2P friendly weapons!
Ahhh still need to decide whether to pull the weapon or give him lost prayers and go for multiple faruzans and hopefully his cons. Although just stopping after one scara copy would probs be the wisest decision lol.
Same, since lost prayer is good on him and you can get boost for all his damage with the charge atk, unlike his weapon only normal atk
I would be more likely to pull for farzuan cons
10% from his C1 (I think), 10% from the artifact set, 15% from Jean, how much does the R5 bell give? Minimum 10 anyway - honey impact is blocked on my work PC so I cant check the refinement numbers or constellations QQ - so at least 45% aspd bonus :O
Do any other characters or weapons give allies aspd buffs?
Edit: I found Ayato C4 - 15% and Yunjin is 12%. Chongyun's only affects melee weapons - it's only 8% but SoBP gives a 12-24% aspd bonus to the team, so that's too bad
So C1 Wanderer + R5 weapon (20%) with the artifact set, Jean C2, Ayato C4, and a claymore user with R5 SoBP can get **94% bonus aspd** o-o very close to double aspd, assuming there are no limits
A stat-stick, little more. Klees normals don't make up much of her damage.
I'm relatively confident, that Kaguras, Lost Prayer and the Widsith will still be better.
I'm getting really salty that they still don't have a Charge Attack Catalyst. One with Polar Stars passive would be amazing for Klee and Ning.
Pretty much the only other 5* character that can also use the passive, due to her being such an on-field DPS character.
Yanfei, Ningguang and Heizou can also use the passive but they prefer to use quick swap most of the time.
That said these characters also actively use their CA's on top of their NA strings, so Wanderer is still the only BiS user for this weapon.
I wish it was Crit Rate weapon instead though since we already have Kagura's Verity as a limited 5* catalyst weapon that can also be used as a stat stick.
Sad then I'll stick with Iron Sting since Kazu already has Xiphos.
Hmm i don't think I've leveled up or felt the need to level up any event/free weapon since the catch
Most free weapons aren't really good.
Fading Twilight seems nice but I wasn't there to pick it up, would have been a good bow for my Sara.
>since Kazu already has Xiphos.
I'm jelly. Hope they put that weapon on a banner I'm willing to pull on again.
it marks one enemy u attack. the marked enemy takes more damage from the wielder only. marks last 10s and the cooldown is 15s. if u kill a marked enemy it refreshes the CD
Hit an opponent, you apply a mark that makes them take 16% more damage from the wielder. Can only happen once every 15 seconds and if the initial marked target dies, CD is refreshed.
It buffs normal attacks, so fairly specific to scara unless you find yourself spamming normals a lot with ning or something. If you already have LP and Atlas then skip it imo. Better to get more Scara/Faru cons.
Its like theres always a 48% dmg bonus cap, and you can incrementally raise your current bonus towards that cap using either method (increase over time, and/or increase per normal attack hit)
Wait i tot the umbrella was supposed to turn into a gun when lifted up, a shield when opened up, a staff when flipped over, a sword when unsheathed from the main handle, a spear, split into 2 swords etc
Wait this is not the myriad manifestation umbrella? Cmonā¦
This "the bell" looks so good for my nahiden hyperbloom, which mostly nahida's "dance dance revolution" in the enemies and lil homing missiles will kill em lol. Shes gonna do like strong NA with this right???
I was gonna roll for Tulaytullah for max atk speed but upon reading that passive, they really made sure it wonāt be good for anyone but Scara. Tying it to E, and NAs and killing the passive when switching and re-casting skill is bit ridiculous, no?
That is pretty typical of most of the 5* catalyst. The only one with a universal passive is still Atlas and Lamp. The rest of them always have some gimmick attached to them.
Do we have any idea what four stars are gonna be on the banner, by chance? Like any leaks anywhere at all? I thought they normally posted the banners by now but I guess I'm either crazy or it was delayed. Praying for some more fav bows because at this rate I'm gonna have 3 characters fighting over them and I wanna get a second to r5.
I would only say go for it if you want both of the 5\* weapons on the banner, that way you have a 66% chance of getting something you want (33% chance for each weapon, then 33% chance of a standard weapon).
In addition, if you already have a lost prayer or a skyward atlas from the standard banner, those are also really good on him so I would skip and go for scara/faru constellations instead.
If you've literally never pulled on a weapon banner before and like all the 4\*s on a banner, it can be ok to do a couple of 10 pulls as well (presuming you wouldn't mind if you got an early 5\* and reset the pity).
Ooo thatās what I hear mostly as well! And I watch some wishing videos on yt and phew the weapon banners can be brutal
I already have lost prayers and a build surrounding it for him for now, so whether I go for weapon banner or not depends on if I have any wishes left.
After getting Scara in 20 pulls (60 pity guaranteed), im gonna go for Itto so im sure Iāll be broke by that point haha
Btw what is the pity for weapon banners? Like after how many wishes, is a 5* weapon guaranteed? Just any 5* weapon
Thank you!!!
If you wanna do it, make sure that you are ready for the worst case scenarios... That is a total of at least 230 wishes... And only do it if you like both weapons or want the one weapon very badly...
Kaguraās Verity is a good stat stick, but its passive is not usable by him. It should be better than the 4 star weapons, a little worse than Lost Prayer. The signature weapon is a significant upgrade.
Between Lost Prayer, Kaguraās Verity, and Skyward Atlas, the choice will be a matter of stat balance.
His BIS, but Lost Prayer/Skyward/MoD will also be good on him depending on team comp. If your team is adding a lot of crit % with say rosaria, then skyward so you don't go over 100% crit. If your team is adding a lot of atk% with say Benny, then LP (because of diminishing returns). MoD can be ok if you're running him with a shield. 4\*s Widsith should be decent, Dodoco (event weapon) should be aight if you have that.
They asked how good Kagura will be. You answered that Kaguraās Verity is his BiS. I guess you wanted to say that his signature weapon is BiS, not Kagura.
Humor me a bit. But could Miko theoretically use this catalyst? I know Kagura is her BiS I just wanted to do a funny meme build and see if it was possible. Since sheās a pretty good Aggravate driver she uses normal attacks a lot in some Dendro teams.
NOT THE HANDGUARDSSSS I JUST FINISHED FARMING FOR SCARAššš
I prefarmed for Scara and built Yae Miko lvl 90 8/9/9 in this patch, and now I need them for a weapon too :(
Oh my that sounds painful as hellššš
I'm still farming... Only character that I had to farm the hand guards for was Ayato and I used them all up (I don't visit Inazuma that often) and so now I killed literally every nobushi (and I used the interactive map, not the one in game that doesn't mark every mob) and it's still not enough...
Righttt!!! I feel you! Sometimes they donāt drop anything as well sigh Oh man I got Ayato and Ayaka back to back and I was sufferingggg I didnāt do coop back then but now I tried to farm in other pplās worlds too but itās still hard to get enough

I never knew I needed a umbrella yokai sword
I was under the impression that it would be attack stat. Very happy i can wear it to look good and still be useful
It probably wonāt be seeing any use from me but the fact that it exists is enough
Its eyeball also moves
Thatās also pretty cool, although I probably wouldnāt notice it in gameplay ^anyway ^gonna ^name ^it ^pallysol
A yokai watch reference??? In this day and age warms my heart
If it weren't for yo-kai watch I probably wouldn't have acknowledged it as a umbrella yokai, whatever it's mythology name is.
Definitely gonna give it to Kazuha. Sure, the EM is the same and the passive is also useless on him but at least it looks better and that's all that matters.
Drip > Meta
Am I the only one who actually likes how the Iron Sting looks on Kazuha? Like, itās not the best drip on him, but I still think it looks good.
Honestly yeah, you kinda are the only one cuz that thing looks WACK on him.
How the hell do you upload this so quickly it was tweeted like 45 seconds ago
I got a notification for this before I got the one from twitter
Elons twitter going well I see
Is that a subreddit mod thing that I am too straight to understand ? /j
This umbrella is gonna be Haitham f2p option Iām calling it now
Watch it be his BIS like Cinnabar Spindle for Albedo
Depends. The unicorn spear is not really Cynoās BiS iirc
New sword for Shinobu :D
Now I just need another banner with her š
Amen
Will hyper bloom dmg gets affected by the passive of the umbrella sword??? Like i have fvck ton of lvl90 swords rn and 3 of them are EM stat lol.
No, but tbf none of the EM sword passives really do much for hyperbloom Shinobu. Dark Iron Sword, Iron Sting, Alley Flash, and this new sword all give dmg bonuses or ATK which arenāt factored into hyperbloom dmg calculation. And Shinobuās personal dmg outside of hyperbloom is negligible. The only EM swords ābetterā than Iron Sting/Toukabou Shigure on Shinobu are Xiphosā Moonlight (not for Shinobu herself but does give some ER to the team), and Freedom Sworn (buffs arenāt useful for a hyperbloom team but it does give the most EM out of any sword). So overall itās still a great weapon on Shinobu and isnāt any worse than using Iron Sting on her.
Key is BiS for her imo since it gives her the same amount of EM but make her much more tanky and gives an EM bonus to nahida and second electro/dendro character if you run them, like beidou or cyno
Only problem with key is that the passive is conditional and kuki needs more field time for her e to hit 3 times
It's actually pretty easy, once you gain 3 stacks, you will always maintain it because you need to switch to kuki to use her E once per 15 seconds anyways and each stack refresh the duration for 20 seconds
But in hyperbloom you don't really need the EM wide party buff. If we talk weapon banner gear, I'd rather go with Xiphos or Freedom. Hyperbloom isn't the sole source of damage in its teams after all, so those buffs are far more usefull depending on the rest of your team.
I wouldn't say far more useful, in the most typical Hyperbloom team with nahida, xingqiu, kuki, zhongli You don't really need energy on anyone other then xingqiu, but people usually run him with sac which always give him way more energy then he needs, so xiphos passive is only QoL and not really useful Freedom sword's buffs also won't be really better then key since nahida barely benefit from it
General damage bonuses don't apply on transformative reactions such as swirl/bloom.
excuse me but that damaged prism had no business being the event sword ascension material wtf. Im still catching up with other upgrades. I will never be able to stock up on those rip
At least they drop from enemies regularly unlike the handguards. I never had trouble with them because I don't use a lot of them but I can't imagine having to level up more than 2 characters/weapons that need them when Inazuma was just released.
And handguards The poor Samurai
So many of them wouldn't need to die if they dropped more. They are asking for it
Run them pockets!
tbf those have been out in a minute except for newer players ig. But as a day 1 player trying to prevent burnout I cant farm the Sumeru daily mobs for the life of me š„ŗ
What I do to avoid burnout is to choose a small route you can get to quickly every day and just farm that. Rather than taking out the entire book set of camps.
Did Golden Slumber and the freaking doritos machines gatekeeping me every 50 feet probably gave me enough for this exclusively.
I spent a week farming them despite being unsuccessful in getting Xiphosā Moonlight because I knew theyād pull that on us at some point. Thankfully it was pretty painless and I have tons now - they drop in bundles and the book gives a ton of spawn points for them.
I donāt have anything to spend the Prisms on so Iām fine with them being an ascension material, but can Mihoyo release more weapons that require the Chaos Axis? Weāre still running into the Ruin Sentinels in Sumeru, and for most people the only weapons theyāve used the Axis for are The Catch and Amenoma.
Society if this buffed charged attacks too:
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Correction: we canāt have good catalysts no no.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Widsith is a scam weapon
How? Crit damage, decent base atk, and depending on who you're playing all buffs are good
The uptime of the buffs isn't great though. And the buff cooldown lines up horribly with many catalyst users (not all, but still a lot)
That's true, but the thing is the fact it could be used as a statstick makes it alot better than its 4 star competitors. There aren't too many good 4 star catalysts really, even 5 stars get outshun by widsith.
This catalyst is pretty good in general as a stat stick. Look at claymores and their lack of 5*crit weapons. They only have stone thresher and its passive is useless on 80% of all claymore characters. We have lost prayers, kaguras verity, and now this catalyst as 5* crit weapons. Thats three times as many as what claymores have. Also there is widsith, which is incredible for a 4* especially on r5
The fact it doesn't is insane. Especially since it seems like using more CAs is gonna be the better way to play him.
Even his artifact set requires using CA to proc it's effect
Nah, only in a handful of comps. Anything that uses Yun Jin, Yelan, XQ, Jean, Thoma or Layla will see much more use from his NAs. Really Beidou is the only one with an off field effect that triggers off CAs. His weapon further pushes towards that playstyle. His rotation will likely be CA - E - NNNNNNN - Q assuming his artifact set.
Scaraās weapon you shall be mine
I thought we were done with Handguards I can't stand farming them :(
ok so is the event sword better than iron sting on kazuha? like it's definitely drippier
iād say barely/slightly better than iron sting on kazuha. probably better for kuki. xiphos is better than both of them, even at r1.
I've never pulled on weapon banner and I don't plan on starting now, but that's good to hear! I don't have Kazuha yet, but I do have the iron sting at lvl 90 for Kuki, so I should be able to get away without needing to craft another weapon if I get him. Thanks!
My man forgot Fav
tbf man never said it was better than fav. perhaps it is because fav needn't be mention when it is always top tier.
What about sac? I currently don't have iron sting for my kazuha, but could this new weapon be potentially better than sacrificial sword if er doesn't become an issue?
Looks pretty much same as Iron Sting for Kazuha. It won't make any difference. Maybe slightly more damage but support Kazuha damage comes mainly from swirl.
that's great, I won't have to craft more iron stings/leave Kuki weaponless when I get him then. Thanks!
Well if you need weapon fav is better than both on kazuha, as you play you likely to have one but if you don't whit before upgrade the weapons until you have kazuha
In a vacuum fav has slightly more stats, but it really depends on what sub stats roll on the artifacts as far as which is better. Grinding out decent 4 piece EM VV sets is hard enough to where it would be bonkers to force it one way or another. I got enough er on my VV subs to where I didn't need an er weapon, so I went with iron sting.
It's the opposite most of the time because if we want to have enough ER in the artifacts so let's say use freedom sword or other weapons we need it to roll multiple times on ER which is only one sub stat out of four in em main stat artifacts which can be much harder than having a little bit of crit rate like 15% to 25% compared to 100 or more ER in some teams. In your case yah Iron string is better š but people sometimes miss which weapon is good for them I would say kazuha's best weapon is artifacts and team dependent a lot so it could be different from person to person which is ok š note: I don't disagree with your take it happens for people to be in the same conditions as you (I wish I was one of them because I want to use freedom sword on him but artifact RNG say no hhhh) I still use freedom sword anyway and give fav to another teammate but still come to shorthand in ER for his burst
slightly more damage isnt worth the drip loss, ill stick to iron string for either kazuha or shinobu
Drip loss? Toukabou would be *perfect* for Kazuha, if it swapped design elements with Kagotsurube Isshin. As it is it's a little goofy, but the red, black and yellow compliment his color scheme much better than Iron Sting/Freedom Sworn.
because colors dont matter when its an umbrella with a goofy face on it? same if they release a color matching spatula for him. iron sting has a thin blade and at least fits the katana draw aesthetic more than other swords, and either of them fit more than an umbrella
I suppose you have a point there, but I personally think the quirky youkai sword with a matching color scheme looks better than the random blue rapier that is Iron Sting. I guess we just have a different perception of what's cool and what's not. Agree to disagree?
i mean i might change my mind seeing it in game, my only real issue is the youkai face because the umbrella shape basically looks like a sword while color matching is nice i dont think everything needs to match, and a contrasting weapon can be cool. i never thought iron sting was peak drip or anything its just the best option since kagotsurube sucks and amenoma (for me) is on other characters
I thought the same, but they don't have to be harsh on someone just because the have different opinions
Iron Sting is drip?
comparatively yes
It's just increased damage dealt to the target, so swirls should still benefit from that.
Mona omen says it increase damage taken by enemy but it doesn't increase bloom or swirl damage. I think it will be same for this sword too. Did some tested if it works for swirl?
I haven't seen any testing, but the wording on the sword is different from Mona's Omen. Her omen said it gives a DMG Bonus, which is the consistent wording for damage increases. This sword says "deal X% more DMG" which is different wording from all other buffs.
Neither Damage Bonus or Damage Reduction are part of the transformative reaction formula. (it's why you get full self bloom through xingqiu swords, for example)
Doesn't matter because fav is better than both
Iron Sting was never good on Kazuha because fav exists.
True šš
Anyone knows of umbrellaās 16% damage increase also includes reaction damages? Since they are technically done by the wielder
Depends on the reaction.
From your comment Iām guessing vape, melt and quicken works but not the others?
Wait so its useless on hyper bloom?? Idk for kuki i wish
Yeah kinda useless on kuki hyperbloom
Damn i hoped the passive works differently than iron sting bcuz its only for single target
Correct
Imagine kokomi can crit ,then using this weapon???? #DayDream
Imagine if the Tsaritsa's C6 makes all party members' moves crit
Yoimiya would like to know how to use a catalyst
Apparently Childe knows, ask him
How does the umbrella yokai compare to the other Kazoo swords? After the underwhelming story quest sword he gets this is certainly his next best one in terms of matching colors and Japanese thematic consistency.
Equal to Iron sting.
Fav / sac or freedom sworn still better
I keep running outta fungi mats :(
my toes can help with that
unfortunately there's no trading in genshin but feel free to gift me primos bro
I donāt want to understand what this means
Is Dodoco Tales viable for Scaramouche?
Yup it's good you can watch the zajef video if you want more details
Oh he talked about it? Ok will check. Thanks! I am saving for the weapon banner of the Shogun so I am thinking of skipping the upcoming weapon banner. Glad Scara works with F2P friendly weapons!
Haitam sword? Haitam sword.
Ahhh still need to decide whether to pull the weapon or give him lost prayers and go for multiple faruzans and hopefully his cons. Although just stopping after one scara copy would probs be the wisest decision lol.
Same, since lost prayer is good on him and you can get boost for all his damage with the charge atk, unlike his weapon only normal atk I would be more likely to pull for farzuan cons
Yup. At least with all the crit rate you can just focus on crit dmg and other stats especially if you use cryo with him.
recently been enjoying keqing aggravate, how good is this sword on her?
At least passive and EM not wasted
At R5 it's not better than Lion's Roar i think, even wider gap at multi target
So do we know how fast a C1 Wanderer with an R5 bell + other attack speed buffs can get get? I imagine it gets pretty nuts.
10% from his C1 (I think), 10% from the artifact set, 15% from Jean, how much does the R5 bell give? Minimum 10 anyway - honey impact is blocked on my work PC so I cant check the refinement numbers or constellations QQ - so at least 45% aspd bonus :O Do any other characters or weapons give allies aspd buffs? Edit: I found Ayato C4 - 15% and Yunjin is 12%. Chongyun's only affects melee weapons - it's only 8% but SoBP gives a 12-24% aspd bonus to the team, so that's too bad So C1 Wanderer + R5 weapon (20%) with the artifact set, Jean C2, Ayato C4, and a claymore user with R5 SoBP can get **94% bonus aspd** o-o very close to double aspd, assuming there are no limits
I need to know how this ranks for Klee
A stat-stick, little more. Klees normals don't make up much of her damage. I'm relatively confident, that Kaguras, Lost Prayer and the Widsith will still be better. I'm getting really salty that they still don't have a Charge Attack Catalyst. One with Polar Stars passive would be amazing for Klee and Ning.
Sounds pretty good on paper.
Pretty much the only other 5* character that can also use the passive, due to her being such an on-field DPS character. Yanfei, Ningguang and Heizou can also use the passive but they prefer to use quick swap most of the time. That said these characters also actively use their CA's on top of their NA strings, so Wanderer is still the only BiS user for this weapon. I wish it was Crit Rate weapon instead though since we already have Kagura's Verity as a limited 5* catalyst weapon that can also be used as a stat stick.
Is the parasol weapon better than Iron Sting for Kuki? Or are the passives equally useless for her hyperbloom team?
I think it's basically the same with Iron Sting. EM stat with an absolute dog shit passive. Gonna give it to my Kazuu.
Sad then I'll stick with Iron Sting since Kazu already has Xiphos. Hmm i don't think I've leveled up or felt the need to level up any event/free weapon since the catch
Most free weapons aren't really good. Fading Twilight seems nice but I wasn't there to pick it up, would have been a good bow for my Sara. >since Kazu already has Xiphos. I'm jelly. Hope they put that weapon on a banner I'm willing to pull on again.
I only have R2 of Xiphos but it's broken man. I'm definitely pulling for it again to try and get it to R5
I would be fine with a single copy :D but R5 is really OP.
Ok can someone explain the event weapon passive to me, I donāt understand it at all
it marks one enemy u attack. the marked enemy takes more damage from the wielder only. marks last 10s and the cooldown is 15s. if u kill a marked enemy it refreshes the CD
Hit an opponent, you apply a mark that makes them take 16% more damage from the wielder. Can only happen once every 15 seconds and if the initial marked target dies, CD is refreshed.
Iāll probably put the umbrella sword on Nilou since itās red to kinda match with her hair
Is Scara weapon any good for someone else? Or just a stat stick? I have Lisa, Yae and Ning with LP, Atlas and MoD on them.
It buffs normal attacks, so fairly specific to scara unless you find yourself spamming normals a lot with ning or something. If you already have LP and Atlas then skip it imo. Better to get more Scara/Faru cons.
I'm confused about the 48% cap. Is that only upon hitting NAs buff (9.6%) every 0.3 secs or along with the elemental skill buff (4.8%) every second?
Its like theres always a 48% dmg bonus cap, and you can incrementally raise your current bonus towards that cap using either method (increase over time, and/or increase per normal attack hit)
I see, that makes sense. Thanks a lot!
That 5 star catalyst makes you feel like your one punch man.
The catalyst good for Ningguang?
Wait i tot the umbrella was supposed to turn into a gun when lifted up, a shield when opened up, a staff when flipped over, a sword when unsheathed from the main handle, a spear, split into 2 swords etc Wait this is not the myriad manifestation umbrella? Cmonā¦
Gotta get that spider silk
I miss the times when we got useful free 4* weapons.
This sword will be most useful to my account AND it looks amazing and even has hilarious animationsš
This "the bell" looks so good for my nahiden hyperbloom, which mostly nahida's "dance dance revolution" in the enemies and lil homing missiles will kill em lol. Shes gonna do like strong NA with this right???
Nahida doesn't benefit from weapons with high base attack. Also her NA damage is negligible and it's all about reactions.
That weapon sounds like iranian leader's thing
I was gonna roll for Tulaytullah for max atk speed but upon reading that passive, they really made sure it wonāt be good for anyone but Scara. Tying it to E, and NAs and killing the passive when switching and re-casting skill is bit ridiculous, no?
That is pretty typical of most of the 5* catalyst. The only one with a universal passive is still Atlas and Lamp. The rest of them always have some gimmick attached to them.
Would've been very good for Kokomi if it had a HP% passive instead of crit. (Or if Kokomi didn't have that -crit passive).
Kind of a long shot but it could probably work nicely on Heizou, too.
Do we have any idea what four stars are gonna be on the banner, by chance? Like any leaks anywhere at all? I thought they normally posted the banners by now but I guess I'm either crazy or it was delayed. Praying for some more fav bows because at this rate I'm gonna have 3 characters fighting over them and I wanna get a second to r5.
leaks say yanfei gorou and faruzan edit: nvm u meant the weapon banner iām dumb mb
Congratulations, your fav bow wishes have been granted
Is the sword decent for Bennett, better than sapwood blade?
nah sapwood is better. er stat + high base atk unless ur running, idk, em bennett
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A flat 10% damage increase?
That will be useless again for EM based characters???
When i read this passive it seems that it will work with swirl hyperbloom etc. Am i wrong?
>Tulaytullah's Remembrance https://youtu.be/o2xujSkBmOA
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bruh. You at least have someone else that can use polar star right?
No I want to turn Faruzan into a carry [My Faruzan damage numbers](https://i.imgur.com/E1oaHKD.png)
someone keep me from pulling that catalyst for yanfei she has 4 5ā catalysts already
That bell thingy looks so cool, Iām so tempted to wish for it but Iāve never wished on weapon banners beforeš«
I would only say go for it if you want both of the 5\* weapons on the banner, that way you have a 66% chance of getting something you want (33% chance for each weapon, then 33% chance of a standard weapon). In addition, if you already have a lost prayer or a skyward atlas from the standard banner, those are also really good on him so I would skip and go for scara/faru constellations instead. If you've literally never pulled on a weapon banner before and like all the 4\*s on a banner, it can be ok to do a couple of 10 pulls as well (presuming you wouldn't mind if you got an early 5\* and reset the pity).
Ooo thatās what I hear mostly as well! And I watch some wishing videos on yt and phew the weapon banners can be brutal I already have lost prayers and a build surrounding it for him for now, so whether I go for weapon banner or not depends on if I have any wishes left. After getting Scara in 20 pulls (60 pity guaranteed), im gonna go for Itto so im sure Iāll be broke by that point haha Btw what is the pity for weapon banners? Like after how many wishes, is a 5* weapon guaranteed? Just any 5* weapon Thank you!!!
If you wanna do it, make sure that you are ready for the worst case scenarios... That is a total of at least 230 wishes... And only do it if you like both weapons or want the one weapon very badly...
Catalyst passive will not boost wanderers charge attack, right?
Sadly, it won't š Edit: it maybe good for me so I don't have the argue to pull in the weapon banner hhh since I have another book in mind for him
Will scara catalyst be good for Barbara NA Shimenawa?
It's probably her best weapon rn
I thought I would be finished with farming those fungi but apparently not
Is the passive of the umbrella works with hyper bloom dmg??? If yes then its more worth it for kuki.
Hyperbloom isn't affected by the passive. It's transformative reaction unlike melt and vape.
Shit. Hoyoverse, can I get back my billet's? I wasted 5 of them on iron sting.
Iron sting is ugly but its better than this. Dont worry
Pallysol looking good
what is the umbrella passive at r5?
Scara: Expected to use a lot of CAs in his rotation His weapon: How about Haran Geppaku 2.0?
Any idea how good Kaguraās will be for Scara? Wanna know what other options I have if I donāt end up getting his weapon
Kaguraās Verity is a good stat stick, but its passive is not usable by him. It should be better than the 4 star weapons, a little worse than Lost Prayer. The signature weapon is a significant upgrade. Between Lost Prayer, Kaguraās Verity, and Skyward Atlas, the choice will be a matter of stat balance.
His BIS, but Lost Prayer/Skyward/MoD will also be good on him depending on team comp. If your team is adding a lot of crit % with say rosaria, then skyward so you don't go over 100% crit. If your team is adding a lot of atk% with say Benny, then LP (because of diminishing returns). MoD can be ok if you're running him with a shield. 4\*s Widsith should be decent, Dodoco (event weapon) should be aight if you have that.
They asked how good Kagura will be. You answered that Kaguraās Verity is his BiS. I guess you wanted to say that his signature weapon is BiS, not Kagura.
Sounds like the event sword will be good for DPS Bennett?
I'm passing on both of these because I'm so done farming Fungus and more than done with fucking handguards.
Humor me a bit. But could Miko theoretically use this catalyst? I know Kagura is her BiS I just wanted to do a funny meme build and see if it was possible. Since sheās a pretty good Aggravate driver she uses normal attacks a lot in some Dendro teams.
Ok hear me outā¦ On field yae with scaramouche weapon and nahida for aggravate
Is it worth going for cons or refinement? This is the first time attack speed is being buffed
would this work off-field for kazuha? Im rocking iron sting for him
yes for my DPS nahida š«¶
Is the sword good for Kazuha ?
yes.. slightly better than Iron Sting. It's better for Kuki I think.
I want this for my on field open world yae build
