Insights

Summary

Contingent Measure is a 4‑star Sword that grants a flat ATK increase after the wielder’s Battle Skill lands, lasting 20 seconds. Its Agility tag suggests it favors faster, skill‑heavy playstyles.

Strengths

  • +Provides a reliable ATK boost whenever the Battle Skill connects
  • +Works well for characters who can land their Battle Skill frequently
  • +Synergizes with Physical damage dealers due to its Physical DMG tag
  • +The 20‑second duration offers a meaningful uptime window
  • +Being a 4‑star weapon, it is accessible for mid‑game progression

Weaknesses

  • The buff only activates on a successful Battle Skill hit, so long cooldowns limit uptime
  • Identical buffs from other sources cannot stack, reducing value in buff‑heavy setups
  • No secondary stats or flat ATK outside of the conditional proc
  • Lacks defensive or utility effects that some swords provide

Notes

  • Best paired with characters whose Battle Skill has a short cooldown or high hit rate
  • Consider as a stepping stone before obtaining higher‑rarity swords with broader effects
  • Agility focus may benefit builds prioritizing attack speed or skill cycling
