Staff of the Scarlet Sands

Main DPS

Signature weapon. EM scales directly into bonus ATK via its passive, maximizing Spread damage. Best in slot.

Sub-DPS

Staff of the Scarlet Sands is ahead of the 3 options, however the 3 other options are generally really strong. Deathmatch is a Battle Pass weapon, making it very easy to obtain.

Excellent CRIT Rate stick. EM→ATK conversion is less ideal than pure ATK options but still strong if you already own it.

Staff of the Scarlet Sands will want different circlet builds due to one weapon offering CRIT Rate and the other CRIT DMG.
