Weapons
CRIT DMG
The de facto best-in-slot: built-in CRIT DMG and a passive that boosts Normal and Skill DMG from EM, directly scaling with the Elemental Mastery stack needed for Spread.
CRIT DMG
High CRIT DMG, and its passive buffs Normal Attack DMG after using the Skill – a good on-field option since you want to weave normal attacks between skills.
CRIT Rate
Provides a large CRIT Rate boost and converts HP to ATK, improving consistency and raw damage without demanding EM substats.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG plus an Elemental DMG Bonus that ramps with Normal Attacks and Burst usage, making it a flexible 5-star stat stick for the build.
CRIT Rate
Boosts CRIT Rate and increases Normal Attack DMG after the Skill is used, rewarding the combo-heavy playstyle.
Elemental Mastery
EM stat is strong, and after triggering Spread you gain stacks that boost your own Normal/Charged/Plunging DMG – a hybrid offensive-support option.
CRIT Rate
Battle Pass pick granting CRIT Rate and alternating Normal Attack / Skill DMG buffs, matching the burst rotation that uses both frequently.
Elemental Mastery
A free EM stick with a DMG bonus against Electro-affected enemies, which is easy to maintain in a Spread team that applies Electro.
CRIT Rate
Grants CRIT Rate and boosts Normal/Charged Attack DMG, plus minor healing for sustain during extended on-field windows.
ATK%
ATK% and a shield-dependent DMG bonus; worth it only when paired with a shield character, but otherwise outclassed by EM-oriented swords.
Elemental Mastery
Excellent 4-star option: gives Elemental Mastery and an Elemental DMG buff after any elemental skill hit, cheap to refine and strong in Spread.
CRIT DMG
High CRIT DMG, but its ATK% buff requires defeating enemies – strong in multi-target fights, finicky vs single bosses.
CRIT DMG
3-star budget pick: massive CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG at high HP, great for a low-cost build if you can stay topped up.
Elemental Mastery
Provides EM and converts it into team Energy Recharge, improving burst uptime while also boosting Spread damage.
Energy Recharge
Boosts Skill DMG and crit rate, especially at high refinements; solid if the rotation relies heavily on the Skill.
Energy Recharge
Good ER and a small CRIT Rate boost; the movement/ATK speed increase after burst helps weave more attacks during the damage window.
Artifacts
4-piece set gives huge Elemental Mastery after triggering reactions, perfectly feeding both Spread and weapon passives. Works in most teams as the main set.
When another member can't hold the Dendro RES shred, this becomes mandatory. 2-piece adds Dendro DMG; 4-piece shreds up to 30% Dendro RES, amplifying all Spread damage.
When another member can't hold the Dendro RES shred, this becomes mandatory. 2-piece adds Dendro DMG; 4-piece shreds up to 30% Dendro RES, amplifying all Spread damage.
4-piece gives CRIT Rate from HP changes, which can be triggered by the skill's self-damage or other mechanics; good if you can reliably stay below/above HP thresholds.

Spread DPS – Maximizes his kit by leveraging Spread reactions and Elemental Mastery-scaling Skill for significant damage. High on-field
Light of Foliar Incision – Prefers Elemental Mastery sands even with fewer Spread procs (Bloom/Burgeon/Hyperbloom).
Toukabou Shigure – Best in single‑target; in AoE, falls behind Iron Sting and Blackcliff Longsword.
Harbinger of Dawn – With near‑perfect passive uptime, performs similarly to Haran Geppaku Futsu.
Xiphos' Moonlight / Festering Desire – Similar to The Black Sword in teams with higher Energy Recharge needs.
Wolf-Fang – At [R5], matches Haran Geppaku Futsu and Mistsplitter Reforged.
Uraku Misugiri – With a
Gilded Dreams (4) – Best if another unit holds Deepwood Memories; otherwise Deepwood Memories (4) is optimal.
Deepwood Memories (2) / Emblem of Severed Fate (2) / +80 EM set (2) – Split sets can match or surpass Gilded Dreams (4) with higher Energy Recharge needs or better substats.
Marechaussee Hunter (4) – With Furina, this is his best set.
Main Stat Priorities – In Quicken/Quickbloom: Elemental Mastery sands (~5% better). In Bloom/Burgeon/Hyperbloom with few Spread: ATK% sands (unless using Light of Foliar Incision). Energy Recharge sands for burst every rotation and more
