Weapons
CRIT Rate
Signature-tier: Elemental DMG Bonus plus Wavespike stacks that convert ally Skill casts into +40% Normal Attack DMG. Needs teammates cycling Skills on cadence.
CRIT Rate
A large CRIT Rate substat patches any ratio problem, and the Max HP-to-ATK conversion adds roughly 200 ATK with no rotation cost or condition.
CRIT DMG
Highest base ATK sword with CRIT DMG and 12% Elemental DMG Bonus; Mistsplitter's Emblem stacks stay up through infused Normal Attack hits and Burst.
CRIT DMG
Builds 4 stacks of DMG Bonus from Normal Attack hits and scales off Elemental Mastery, so it performs best in EM-driven Electro-Charged or Hyperbloom shells.
Energy Recharge
The Energy Recharge substat covers the solo 160%+ requirement, while the passive adds 4% CRIT Rate and attack speed for faster infusion windows.
CRIT DMG
HP-scaling sword with CRIT DMG; after Burst it converts a slice of Max HP into bonus Normal Attack DMG, up to 48%. Only worth it once ER is solved.
CRIT DMG
High base ATK with a CRIT line and a passive that rewards staying on field for infused attacks. A clean stat-stick upgrade over most 4-star swords.
ATK%
ATK% substat plus stacking ATK that doubles while shielded: 40% total with a shielder such as Zhongli or Layla keeping the party protected.
ATK%
ATK% stat stick whose passive rewards repeated Skill hits, making it a serviceable budget slot for an on-field rotation.
CRIT Rate
Cheap CRIT Rate plus a flat +20% Normal Attack DMG that needs no setup. The most reliable 4-star for attack-based damage.
ATK%
Free from the Kazuha story quest: ATK% substat, an ATK stack on Skill use, and an extra AoE hit make it a fine free-to-play entry.
ATK%
ATK% plus 20% DMG Bonus against Pyro- or Electro-affected enemies. Only worth it in Vaporize teams that keep those auras up.
CRIT DMG
3-star with 14% CRIT Rate at R5 while HP stays above 90%. Needs a shielder or healer, but it outdamages most 4-stars when that holds.
ATK%
ATK% substat and a stacking passive that fires AoE damage every fifth Normal Attack hit. Pure filler until a better sword drops.
ATK%
Converts Max HP into ATK and restores HP on Skill use, adding sustain plus damage if the kit already scales with HP.
Artifacts
4pc grants +30% Normal Attack DMG after using Skill, lining up exactly with the infusion window. The default 4pc when nothing else fits.
4pc adds 35% Normal Attack DMG to sword users with no condition or ramp. The unconditional pick when Skill uptime is unreliable.
2pc Hydro DMG plus a 4pc that stacks ATK and Hydro DMG on repeated hits. Highest ceiling if three trigger instances stay running.
2pc for 15% Hydro DMG Bonus. Best used as half of a mixed pair when a full 4pc lacks usable substats.
4pc hands out up to 40% CRIT Rate against Frozen or Cryo-affected targets, so it only pays off in Freeze shells that keep an aura on the enemy.
4pc cuts Skill cooldown and boosts Electro-Charged and Hyperbloom damage, suiting variants where Electro triggers on every hit.
4pc rolls a 36% chance to add 70% of ATK to Normal Attack damage. Strong only on low ping, since lost procs sink the average.
4pc grants 12% CRIT Rate per HP change, up to 36%. Easy to maintain with a healer or self-draining kit, and it lets you run a CRIT DMG circlet.

Recommended Primary Stats

DPS
On-field Hydro damage dealer, applying pressure through Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst.
Weapons
Skyward Blade: Ranking assumes 135% Energy Recharge for a Burst each rotation; value shifts with ER needs.
Summit Shaper: Rivals The Black Sword when team ATK buffs are scarce.
Finale of the Deep: Clearing Bond of Life reliably pushes it past weapons ranked beside it.
The Black Sword: At [R5], roughly equal to Summit Shaper.
Lion's Roar: In Electro-Charged teams, about equal to Summit Shaper.
Harbinger of Dawn: Needs a shielder; then beats Finale of the Deep and rivals Splendor of Tranquil Waters with heavy ATK buffs.
Artifact Sets
Echoes of an Offering (4): Ping-dependent and inconsistent — only with ping consistently under 100, where it matches Heart of Depth (4).
Marechaussee Hunter (4): Best set in Burgeon teams where he takes damage often, or alongside Furina.
Nymph's Dream (4): Needs Water Illusion hits; without the third stack it only equals 2pc Hydro DMG + 2pc ATK.
Blizzard Strayer (4): Best in Freeze teams; not worth farming specifically for him.
Thundering Fury (4): Best in Electro-Charged teams — Skill cooldown reduction shortens rotations; not worth a dedicated farm.
