I believe this is one of those weapons that will get better with time. There's tons of niche weapons that go on to eventually become really good because of a new character. Either because of a new team/playstyle or a character that just meshes well with the weapon. Cough cough Xianyun cough cough Furina
Not the first one that gives critical dmg/rate This one gives crit stats for normal and charge attacks, but Festering Desire also gives crit rate to the wearers elemental skill. 2 swords, different focus
@@kuraresacupcakes c6 pyro traveler can unironically be played as a dps and it actually wont suck there is also an option of plunge dps with xianyun because traveler gets infusion and pyro dmg bonus obviously its not diluc or gaming level but im pretty sure it can clear abyss with a bit of skill and decent artifact investment believe it or not pyro is actually going to be the best dps version of the traveler yet (hopefully cryo raises the bar further)
0:30 What do you mean standard base attack? That's on the high end of base attack for four stars! It's actually amazing cause that means you get more value from att% main and substats!
Well, this could be used to do a Physical Kaeya, I believe he has one of the highest normal/charged scaling of sword users, and applies a lot of cryo towards superconduct. Him, Mika, Zhongli, and Kuki. The 2 piece combo from Blood stained and Pale flame, and Phys cup. If Mika and Zhongli are good enough shield/heal then Kuki could be replaced with another off field electro, but she does have good up time on her electro app, Fischl could be better here with C6 due to the normal coordinated attack and C4 for additional Electro app. Just throwing this out there as something that could be done, don't know it it would actually be any good.
kaeyas attack speed and charged attack animation and interval between charged attacks means it's not that great, keching is a better phys dps and I think even kuki is better than kaeya at that,
I think it was an obvious tell about the near release of citlali, cause cryo and shields aren't uncommon, but further as someone who only started 4 months ago things like this are just what I needed when I don't have all those fancy previous event weapons as an option and don't consider the battle pass weapons a fair comparison(ofc those are good, people are spending money on them)
Wrong, she won't be able to use it. This not how it works. But a certain someone might be. Which may or may not be important though. Maybe just for a certain time.
I was excited to use it for Citlali cuz it fits on her aesthetically well but only to find out she's a catalyst user. Though, the weapon can still be paired with her since her kit gives shield for the team.
Just something to note. The crystallization shield strength is determined by EM. Yes, they are still relatively weak. But you CAN buff them with higher EM. So don't be afraid to give some EM to your GEO characters.
Just a thought I have. It could work for a Qiqi or Kaeya freeze comp with Layla given her shield while not being the best is more than enough in a freeze comp and she has a constellation where she buffs the on field attackers NA and charged attack. Niche and probably not THE best but not bad. Just food for thought.
i like this, they are ALL drip-compatible, including the three in the video. I'm using it on Ayato for sure - see how good i can get him as dps. I've been grinding Bolide for Yoimiya and did get a Hydro goblet.
I imagine it Capitano may need a shielder, so it may be made for him. Additionally, hoyo is probably going through a list of passive abilities and said "yeah, we already have alot of swords with differing passive abilities, so lets give them an on-field sword that works with shield."
Baizhu is risky because the sword buff only applies if the shield is still active. Baizhu's shields does refresh but are very fragile. If you're unlucky, you could lose the sword buff and before Baizhu's shield would refresh when you use Clorinde's trust attack.
@@michaelshahoe So basically just another instance of, if you are skilled enough its a massive damage increase but if you aren't you lose out on most of the value.
@@ShikiRawr yes, but I feel like it's not worth it because you want to use as many enhanced thrust attacks as possible within the duration of her eskill. If you're forced to dodge to keep the shield active before you thrusts, you will potentially lose out on X amount of thrusts and let's not forget that Baizhu's healing would also lessen her bond of life while Clorinde needs a bond of life of 100% to enhance her thrust. So not only would you need to time your dodge, but also manage her bond of life more which as a result could negatively impact the amount of enhanced thrusts. I might be fully wrong tho, this is just what I assume to be the case.
@@michaelshahoe Clorinde converts Healing into extra Bond of Life while in her buff stance, so Baizhu's healing can actually let her get extra Es off. Fragile shield is still an issue, though.
My furina is too busy buffing the hydro dragon, so I'll just stick with Zhongli and nahida for mine, as for the fourth I'll use raiden since my fischl is not c6.
@@GenshinYuppeThere's like two shielders coming soon, zhongli and ciltali, and pyro traveler has pyro infused attacks so they could benefit from this new sword
You forgot that Keching also is paired with Kirara in Quicken teams, so yeah, is a good F2P option for her, even if her NA/CA are not the main output of dmg. Also, we will have Citlali (for Ayato again?) and Yanlan next patch update.
You can also give Zhongli archaic petra. I know, blah blah crystal problems. It still makes Zhongli's buff even higher IF you manage it. Also, if you are a brand new player, the sword will make an easy Bennet weapon in terms of 4 star base attack. At least until you randomly get something better from a banner.
what we need to put zhongli back into the meta is a spear that buffs team damage. like xilonen's sword or citlali's catalyst. if we get that, then zhongli can give 20% shred, infinite resistance to interruption, and 60.5% dmg bonus for the team. that's pretty good.
Just wanted to say that… I just did the UA-cam recap thing And I’m one of the top 0.1% fans of your channel Sooo I wanted to say that, I genuinely appreciate everything you do Keep up the great work man 🔥
Viable or not. How about the look? What do you guys think about the swords look? I think it looks sick! Also, I liked the colora and design. It actually looks so good on Ayato. Maybe with Keqing's skin too.
I have and fully build C6 Lynette. In my opinion, The new event sword is a worse version of the Royal Longsword, a sword from the stardust shop. It needs a shield to trigger its effects but the Royal Longsword only needs you to hit someone to trigger its effects and it stacks 5 times, R5 is better. Yes, it loses its effects after every crit BUT how often you crit after 3 to 4 hits you are always guaranteed crit. Dont get me wrong, the new event sword is still good. Yes you can have the Royal Longsword at R5 as a F2P but you have to be patient, the shop resets every 30 days, it switches between Black cliff set and Royal set. You will probably have enough stardust when you try to get the 4th and 5th refinement. It took me like 5 months to R5 mine but if you're impatient the new event sword is for you I guess.
The sword is also abit questionable on ayato (it's similar to keqing), a lot of people has this misconception on c0 ayato that his E-state normal attacks deals the majority of his damage, in reality it's closer to 50:50 (normal damage:burst damage), and this can fluctuate depending on the scenario. e.g. AoE scenario which you can group enemies, your burst will deal more damage in a rotation than your normal attacks. The problem with ayato is that his burst cost is really high, and that most TC's just advice people to not build ER on him (when he was released). But with recent landscape where mono hydro is 'meta' now, arguably his best team is somewhere in the lines of (Furina, Xilonen, Yelan, Ayato) where cause of the triple hydro, you don't need much ER on him where you can actually burst once per rotation which ends up ayato's burst dealing a good portion of his damage (which the event sword doesn't buff) In a nilou team, you actually build EM on ayato (this will end up dealing more damage than his normal atk build at C0, so the event sword is not good in a nilou team) Again not saying it's not usable on ayato, but it's not as good on ayato as people might think. If it was a greatsword instead of a sword, it would've a really good f2p weapon for noelle, but who knows a future character might release who can take full advantage of its effects other than clorinde. (just look at festering desire and furina, it just took 3major patches 😂)
Guess I'm not a total noob after all.. Cause I saw the sword and I was like "Ok, its definitely for Ayato!" (even tho he is still my biggest regret in the game)
Remember Festering Desire? People said it was trash and I still see comments of people not getting the refinements and regretting for Furina lol. Always best to be safe and at least get the refinement mats.
This sword is such a gift to my account. I’m on a true no-pull account, so good weapons are hard to come by. I basically just main Traveler and almost every team I use has shields, so this sword is going to be great for her.
It's a decent niche weapon. They likely released this coz of the upcoming new shielders in 5.3 being Citlali and the Anemo Catalyst for Lantern rite. Also because Zhongli is in phase 2.
Future impact in event weapons, a unit will release in a year or more from now who will love this sword and all the new players who missed this will have to cry about it
Potential candidates for this weapon with specific scenario in mind 1. Lynette as dps at c6 2. Any sword user with bennett c6 pyro infusion I am thinking pyro traveller at c6, jean in sunfire team, kaeya self melt, qiqi
i just had the tiniest of feelings that it would go well with citlail, who is supposed to be a shielder. or i could be capping and it's a direct buff to zhongli, who knows
Clorinde has a possible better team to take advantage from the passive, Clorinde, Fischl, Nahida with Inazuma catalyst and Zhongli with petra. Nahida will buff electro and dendro elemental damage, Zhongli reduce electro and dendro res, and buff electro elemental damage by the electro crystalize
That probably means the upcoming characters in Natlan will have 1 who is a sword user dealing major normal / charge attacks with a chance of scaling with Atk.
I was so excited for this sword, but it turns out the passive is misleading. It talks about "when characters are protected by a shield", which sounds like it is a team-wide buff. It would make this sword an amazing support option for so many characters like Kirara or Layla. But the passive should've said something like "when the wielding character is protected by a shield, ..."
During the beta testing it started with "equipping character" but was changed early on to "while characters are protected". That was a deliberate change, because "equipping character" is the standard format. Why the change if it only works on the equipping character?
@@binsarm9026 “when characters are protected by a shield” makes it sound like the buff applies to the whole team (characterS, plural). So in other words, if the sword actually acted as described, it would be a different character doing the NA/CA
@@binsarm9026 Its more of, if the buff worked as it seemed, if you were running say a Hu Tao standard vape comp, you put the sword on Xingqiu and when you use Zhongli shield Hu tao would get the NA/CA buff from Xingqiu having the sword equipped.
I guess people really has forgotten ayaka+diona , im still using her occasionally when i dont want to deal with the enemy and theyre freeze-able, CA spam ayaka still does considerable 25k dmg although not as much as recent characters with easy 100k dmg per skill
Technically, a shielder or crystallized reaction of Geo is needed to trigger the effect of the weapon. Easy to obtain, but hard to maintain, as most boss enemies and high-tier montsters are already hitting much. 🙃
I swear when I saw the spoiler before the event I thougth it would be nice for a full Shield Noelle, then saw it was sword not claymore and my dreams were shattered
What's wrong with Layla, Jean and qiqi? They all use normal attacks for the bulk of their time and Layla has the nice shield synergy. Also putting it on chidori is an idea... With 2 geo you get that extra 20% with shield bonus.
@@victorsebastien5321 I believe it's much better than Finale of the Deep because the normal/charged + crit rate boost > the flat atk boost. The only exception would be if Furina is in the team because of the crazy dmg buff she provides but Clorinde's best reactions doesn't use Furina. So for Clorinde, this sword + shielder is better than finale of the deep, especially with the event sword also being easily refinable to R5.
Oh look, the next patch will feature a new anemo shielder and a new cryo shielding unit. If only we had a sword weapon that could benefit from those new characters...
I found it's effect easy to activate because of the existence of Thoma, though only downside is that the na/ca sword dps's dont use Thoma in their best teams, although pyro traveler will (cope)
I am still pissed that I missed Festering desire back then. I was in boarding school so I didn't have the chance to play the event. It happened as well during the Cinnabar spindle event
Heart of Depth isn't what I'd call a "safer" option than Bolide on Ayato. Bolide provides 40% to his NAs when shielded, while HoD provides 45% to NAs (the different kinds of dmg% bonus - NA, elemental, etc. - are additive) and 15% to his burst, with no condition basically (since Ayato always uses his skill before doing NAs). Bolide's benefit is mostly just providing shield strength which makes shields last longer. Something which isn't needed with Zhongli, making HoD better.
Nah its not, Kequing is a Burst Dps. Technically you don't even need to use your Charged Attacks even. But damn im kinda jealous C6 Baizhu?? Daym Brother tell me all about it i love my boi. 😭😐
i think this weapon is preparation for pyro traveler , just my opinion though. And also new anemo 4* character and citlali would be shielder , thats why hoyo give us this weapon.

If it was a greatsword instead of a sword, it would've a really good f2p weapon for noelle, but who knows a future character might release who can take full advantage of its effects other than clorinde. (just look at festering desire and furina, it just took 3major patches 😂)
Guess I'm not a total noob after all.. Cause I saw the sword and I was like "Ok, its definitely for Ayato!"
(even tho he is still my biggest regret in the game)
I honestly never thought about pairing it with Retracing Bolide. That's kinda genius.
Remember Festering Desire? People said it was trash and I still see comments of people not getting the refinements and regretting for Furina lol.
Always best to be safe and at least get the refinement mats.
This sword is such a gift to my account. I’m on a true no-pull account, so good weapons are hard to come by. I basically just main Traveler and almost every team I use has shields, so this sword is going to be great for her.
For me i think its for future characters with citali and mavuika coming soon
I'm building it for my traveler though can't wait for pyro traveler
It's a decent niche weapon. They likely released this coz of the upcoming new shielders in 5.3 being Citlali and the Anemo Catalyst for Lantern rite. Also because Zhongli is in phase 2.
Future impact in event weapons, a unit will release in a year or more from now who will love this sword and all the new players who missed this will have to cry about it
Potential candidates for this weapon with specific scenario in mind
1. Lynette as dps at c6
2. Any sword user with bennett c6 pyro infusion I am thinking pyro traveller at c6, jean in sunfire team, kaeya self melt, qiqi
i just had the tiniest of feelings that it would go well with citlail, who is supposed to be a shielder. or i could be capping and it's a direct buff to zhongli, who knows
Gonna use it on my c6 lynette in a dps driver team
Clorinde has a possible better team to take advantage from the passive, Clorinde, Fischl, Nahida with Inazuma catalyst and Zhongli with petra. Nahida will buff electro and dendro elemental damage, Zhongli reduce electro and dendro res, and buff electro elemental damage by the electro crystalize
Finally, a sword for QIQI MAINS
"The Catch" gives crit rate to burst damage.
for now the optimal com for this sword is Clorinde + Thoma/Zhongli
but in the future, i think this sword is prepared for (sword user) + Citlali shield
That probably means the upcoming characters in Natlan will have 1 who is a sword user dealing major normal / charge attacks with a chance of scaling with Atk.
"first event weapon that provides critical rate"
Festering Desire: "Should I use my invisibility to fight crime or for evil?"
Am I the only one who was expecting an image of "The Catch" when he said "so here's the catch"?
I was so excited for this sword, but it turns out the passive is misleading. It talks about "when characters are protected by a shield", which sounds like it is a team-wide buff. It would make this sword an amazing support option for so many characters like Kirara or Layla. But the passive should've said something like "when the wielding character is protected by a shield, ..."
This. THIS!
During the beta testing it started with "equipping character" but was changed early on to "while characters are protected".
That was a deliberate change, because "equipping character" is the standard format.
Why the change if it only works on the equipping character?
i don't see the difference?
how can an off fielder do NA/CA ??
@@binsarm9026 “when characters are protected by a shield” makes it sound like the buff applies to the whole team (characterS, plural). So in other words, if the sword actually acted as described, it would be a different character doing the NA/CA
@@binsarm9026 Its more of, if the buff worked as it seemed, if you were running say a Hu Tao standard vape comp, you put the sword on Xingqiu and when you use Zhongli shield Hu tao would get the NA/CA buff from Xingqiu having the sword equipped.
I think this weapon is made for Future Natlan. A Signature Weapon for Pryo Traveller. Citlali Shield (Cryo) + Traveller (Pryo)
As someone who main both ayato and clorinde.. That weapon is a godsend event weapon..
i'm the guy that have more bolide than heart of depth. skipped both childe and ayaka first run and see no need to farm the domain.
I guess people really has forgotten ayaka+diona , im still using her occasionally when i dont want to deal with the enemy and theyre freeze-able, CA spam ayaka still does considerable 25k dmg although not as much as recent characters with easy 100k dmg per skill
It’s not the first event weapon that provides CRIT, that was Festering Fang!
Technically, a shielder or crystallized reaction of Geo is needed to trigger the effect of the weapon. Easy to obtain, but hard to maintain, as most boss enemies and high-tier montsters are already hitting much. 🙃
That way i never raised my world rank again.
I swear when I saw the spoiler before the event I thougth it would be nice for a full Shield Noelle, then saw it was sword not claymore and my dreams were shattered
Festering desire has been waiting for 3 years for suitable character. Probably this sword will become better one day.
"This is the first weapon to give crit rate" Festering Desire: "Am I a joke to you?"
What's wrong with Layla, Jean and qiqi? They all use normal attacks for the bulk of their time and Layla has the nice shield synergy. Also putting it on chidori is an idea... With 2 geo you get that extra 20% with shield bonus.
Damn, the new sword with Kaeya skin looks fly af. Wish I didn't miss that event T_T
Scissor sister team... navia + chloride + xilonen + fishcl/ororon or Bennett. Navia's burst generates tons of crystalized. What do you think?
the way i hv both clorinde n ayato this is made for meeeee😂
So you’re telling that my c6 kirara has a use?
Clorinde can use the sword if you use kirara in aggravate.
Clorinde, kirara, kazuha and fischl is a great team
@ that is was I was thinking of trying although idk if it is much better than the Fontaine craftable weapon since I do have it at R5
Wait! Amma let you cook
@@victorsebastien5321 I believe it's much better than Finale of the Deep because the normal/charged + crit rate boost > the flat atk boost. The only exception would be if Furina is in the team because of the crazy dmg buff she provides but Clorinde's best reactions doesn't use Furina. So for Clorinde, this sword + shielder is better than finale of the deep, especially with the event sword also being easily refinable to R5.
I'm sure they'll make a character that uses this weapon since it's passive is pretty good
And it looks cool too for purple-scheme based charcter
Festering Desire boosts Crit rate as well, but only for Elemental skills.
Oh look, the next patch will feature a new anemo shielder and a new cryo shielding unit. If only we had a sword weapon that could benefit from those new characters...
It's time for full EM Xilonen
I found it's effect easy to activate because of the existence of Thoma, though only downside is that the na/ca sword dps's dont use Thoma in their best teams, although pyro traveler will (cope)
I am still pissed that I missed Festering desire back then. I was in boarding school so I didn't have the chance to play the event. It happened as well during the Cinnabar spindle event
One thing is clear: in a world where Neuvillette and Furina exist, who would use another useless load like Ayato?
this is basically festering desire for NA and CA... festering desire also do not have much users other than furina... and that is good enough..
Heart of Depth isn't what I'd call a "safer" option than Bolide on Ayato. Bolide provides 40% to his NAs when shielded, while HoD provides 45% to NAs (the different kinds of dmg% bonus - NA, elemental, etc. - are additive) and 15% to his burst, with no condition basically (since Ayato always uses his skill before doing NAs).
Bolide's benefit is mostly just providing shield strength which makes shields last longer. Something which isn't needed with Zhongli, making HoD better.
Is this good for qiqi? With Layla shenhe Chong yun?
It's the new bis f2p for clorindre overload ? (I play her with thomas)
I guess I use this weapon for Ayato with Zhongli on same team.
Do we know or have leaks on Citlali? Think i saw her being shielded.
this weapon was only released to increase zhongli pulls so that neuvi wouldnt be too skewed lets bfr
c6 chiori weapon? 😊
just kidding, if you're gonna c6 a character you're committing a crime not getting their signature weapon
For me, Once Citlali came out, she would be best pair with Ayato equipped with this weapon.
If you wanna play Freeze... 💀 Although maybe with someone else. 👀
@ my team in mind would be Citlali, Benette, Xiangling, Ayato. I heard Citlali shreds pyro and hydro so I thought on pairing her with Ayato.
Since Keqing is my driver on my Nahida/Baizhu teams, this is pretty dadgum perfect. Especially since I have c6/r1 Baizhu.
Nah its not, Kequing is a Burst Dps. Technically you don't even need to use your Charged Attacks even.
But damn im kinda jealous C6 Baizhu?? Daym Brother tell me all about it i love my boi. 😭😐
Just like Festering, it won't be goated until 2 years later
i think this weapon is preparation for pyro traveler , just my opinion though.
And also new anemo 4* character and citlali would be shielder , thats why hoyo give us this weapon.
i think this will be for pyro traveler because leaks says that the traveler will have pyro infusions
maybe just like festering desire or cinnabar spindle, the best weapon for future character
I think this sword is meant for a future character.
dang it, thought it was a claymore, would've been a great weapon for Noelle
isn't it obvious? It was made for pyro traveler DPS and it's meant to sell Citlali
