Sub-DPS
Free from fishing and the undisputed best weapon for Xiangling. ER% substat directly reduces her high energy cost, and the passive buffs Burst DMG by 16–32% and Burst CRIT Rate by 6–12%. No other weapon comes close for her support role.

Sub-DPS
Free from fishing. ER% substat and passive that grants +16% Burst DMG and +6% Burst CRIT Rate — perfectly tailored to her Burst-centric kit. Best F2P weapon for Raiden by far.
Recommended
Healer
Highest ER% among 4★ polearms. Free from fishing. Reduces Burst ER requirement significantly.
Sub-DPS
Good for Burst uptime. The Burst DMG bonus is partially wasted off-field, but the ER substat solves most energy needs on its own.

Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 16% / 20% / 24% / 28% / 32% and Elemental Burst CRIT Rate by 6% / 7.5% / 9% / 10.5% / 12%. The Catch is a strong free-to-play option that improves Candace's Elemental Burst damage while also providing Energy Recharge.
