If there are at least 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 16% and DEF is increased by 16%. If there are fewer than 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 24%.

Battle Pass weapon — one copy per paid BP cycle. R1 is the realistic stop for most accounts; chase R5 only if this stays on a long-term main.

Lohen
Lohen#3

Recommended

Main DPS

BP 4★ CRIT Rate Polearm. Conditional ATK/DEF buff. Works well in Freeze teams where enemies are immobilized.

Cyno
Cyno#4

Recommended

Main DPS

Best F2P-accessible option. CRIT Rate substat frees up artifact rolls. Solid performance in single-target fights.

Emilie
Emilie#4

Recommended

Sub-DPS

Best accessible 4★ for most players. CRIT Rate frees artifact rolls for CRIT DMG and ATK%.

Iansan
Iansan#4

Sub-DPS

Battle Pass option. CRIT Rate substat frees up artifact substats. Lower base ATK compared to alternatives is a notable downside.

Kachina

Sub-DPS

Raiden Shogun
Raiden Shogun#4

Sub-DPS

CRIT Rate substat from Battle Pass. Provides CRIT for more consistent Burst damage. Requires solving ER through artifacts.

Yaoyao
Yaoyao#4

Healer

Battle Pass 4★. CRIT Rate substat doesn't benefit a healer much but the ATK% passive provides slight damage. Not ideal.

Xiao
