Item Story
First, the sun and the moons were created, and thus day and night came to be. She once described the night sky adorned with three bright moons to me in a language I have now forgotten — yes, the number of moons should be three. May the shadows of the world cast their pearly shimmer upon the earth when they awake, such that people can follow the silver-plated outline of the dunes at night to find their final fate. Next, weight was created. Thus sand sank, forming the earth. And that which was without weight became the sky. I stipulated that one should rely on the earth, but dream of the sky. The weight should not be excessive, or the land will bind people's feet, impede those longing to travel far, and hinder expansion through exploration, while causing people to be unable to fly high, unable to explore the future. Then the seven sage monks were established again, and they ruled the trajectories drawn by the earth, water, and stars. Even if the celestial sphere was just an illusion, myths are often born when people look up at the stars and moons. In the original world, the barriers were torn down, and the dark poison had penetrated the earth. To heal that fragile, sad, and imperfect world, the spikes descended and pierced through the earth's crust. However, the rules I have set are more elegant and precise, so there is no need and there should be no followers of hers who shall die meaninglessly on their account, and no poetry should be lost for their sake. Next, the beastly trail from the poison should be cut off, for taking poison is a sin running deeper than the sky. But how sweet the whispers can be, and how clear the wisdom of which they speak... The wind arises in the new world. The pearly moonlight, the amber afterglow, the waves of grass, and the roots of the waters have gradually ceased to be silent, all singing the poems that she left behind. ... The cycle of seven must be removed, because the secret narrative will be blocked. Fear and grief must be torn down, and so the barrier between life and death must be removed. Remove the sun, the moons, and weight, for there should be no barriers between time and space. Remove the original principles of rules, verdicts, and grace, so that she will no longer be afraid of the punishment that is laid on her kin. Remove birds, beasts, fish, dragons, humans, and seven monk-kings, so that none shall steal wisdom. ... "The Sand King sleeps alone in secret dreams, drawing up new theorems." "None shall have to drink salt water in the King's realm, for everything in the new world shall be good." ... This is how perfection can be achieved. I can see the three of us debating in our paradise once more. We are so close. Yes, this is splendid. I understand now. This is what I have always wanted. That which I have always longed to find once more has never been a paradise for the many. All the parodies of the teachings and the seven wise monks, or that so-called pure world free of all sorrows, none of those things matter anymore... But I do not wish that the poison ingested by mistake should remain in this world. Perhaps she might, in light of our old friendship... — Even if she will not do it for my sake, that is also fine. I only ask that she do me one last favor for the sake of our mutual friend... |

Is this good for Hutao ?
I planed saving for Hutao c1 and Homa after getting Nahida or just get this thing instead
Currently my Hutao having 200 em ( 80 cr-200cd)-deathmacth
It’s ok on Hu Tao. The crit rate is good for her, and she doesn’t mind the low base attack, but the passive isn’t super useful. She doesn’t build a ton of EM, so you’re only going to get around 350 extra attack (this is assuming you have EM buffs and stacks on the passive). For comparison, Homa’s passive will give you like 600 attack, along with HP%. This weapon will beat out many of the weaker weapon options for Hu Tao (blackcliff, deathmatch, probably PJWS too), but Homa is definitely staying on top (I’m not sure about Dragon’s Bane but I’m guessing it’ll be better at high refines)
If I have 300 em, how much atk bonus will I get at r1?
408, it’s a 136% increase at max stacks
I suggest you saving for Hu Tao and Homa later, because if you pull right now, there migjt be a chance you won’t have enough primo. Also, Homa is more suited to Hu Tao. Plus, getting Hu Tao with >200 EM is not worth, because vaporize will scale not much.
Hutao can easily get to 250-300 em and sit at optimal damage in late builds. But yeah this weap is really really gilded dreams heavy, and may find better uses elsewhere.
At least it’s gonna have elegy and some EM 4* in the banner, so it wont really be a lose when the natural luck issue happens…
What if xiao elemental mastery sands with 4pcs VV along with xiangling bennett sucrose. Xiangling and bennett basically apply pyro for Xiao to swirl. The weapon gives xiao attack + swirl damage from EM. Sucrose uses 4pcs instructor to give xiao EM and batteries him. Will this work?
why 4pc VV if you also run Sucrose? that’s so dumb…
the benefit of having your vv on field is that it means basically 100% uptime
Is there an error for the purple chaos components Says 14 on the 80 line then 41 at the bottom lol
14 + 27 = 41
This is Xiangling Impact.
This will simply be perfect for Hoyo’s golden child.
can this work okay for hu tao?
I’d say only the crit rate is good for her, the passive isn’t
not instan effect, but its ok, you can still full stack effect.
passive is pretty much dead on her, she gets so much atk from skill and hp that this passive make almost no difference.
This thing would be absolutely amazing for my Raiden Ei. Too bad weapon banner pity in this game is absolutely terrible.
Jebus fries, this thing at r5 is insane.
wouldn’t say insane but yeah it’s good it makes an em time piece by itself give more atk than an atk% time piece when it’s fully stacked at R5.
which is insane.
So this is raiden hyperloom team weapon
That’s exactly the first thing that came in my mind too lol but I’m pretty skeptical, as for now there are character that perform better than raiden with dendro
Stop being a joke. I know how that works but using Raiden as a bloom activator is the least imaginative thing ever.
I try 868 em on raiden and it deals 22-24k damage/1 seeds lmao oh im suing yelan,xinqiu, and traveler xD
I don’t think the passive of the weapon works off-field, which would make it fairly less interesting.
If you have off-field Dendro and off-field Hydro characters, then at least you will get it during Raiden’s burst. Still, you wouldn’t be able to get the full stacks on her though so that wastes some potential.
