by The Long Sword of the Dark Crag is an excellent weapon that provides great benefits for the vast majority of Main DPS that use the sword as a weapon in Genshin Impact , its only problem is that it is a fairly situational weapon that is only worthwhile when we fight with multiple enemies at once.
In addition to being one of the best weapons to increase the Attack of our swordsmen, it is also one of the few four-star weapons that increase the Critical Damage of its wielder, a parameter that we can normally only achieve through five-star weapons. .
To get this weapon, we will have to redeem 24 Star Shines at Paimon’s Bargains. But be careful, since the Weapons of the Dark Crag will not be available every month (as they rotate with the Royal Weapons set) and we can only get 3 copies of each weapon per month.
ATTRIBUTES OF THE DARK CRAG LONGSWORD IN GENSHIN IMPACT
Let’s start with his statistics:
- Base Attack Level 1 : 44.
- Base Attack Level 90 : 565.
As for its Base Attack, it is one of the highest four-star light swords in this parameter; shares the same amount of Base Attack as the Prototype Spite, the Wooden Sword , and the Abyssal Requiem .
Its secondary attribute would be the following:
- Critical Damage Level 1 : 8%.
- Critical Damage Level 90 : 36.75%.
By raising this sword to level 90, it will grant +36.75% Critical Damage to its wielder. It is not a very high amount due to its Base Attack, but it is one of the best attributes that this sword could give us if we are looking to enhance the damage of our swordsmen’s critical hits.
His Passive Skill confers the following effect:
- R1 : +12% Attack for 30 seconds when defeating an enemy, we can get up to 3 stacks of this effect and the duration of each one will be independent.
- R5 : +24% to Attack for 30 seconds when defeating an enemy, we can get up to 3 stacks of this effect and the duration of each one will be independent
When it comes to boosting a character’s Attack, it is one of the best swords in the game, since it will increase the Attack of its bearer by 12% for each enemy defeated, thus being able to accumulate up to a total of +36% to said statistic. and +72% in the hypothetical case that we decide to get its R5.
In addition, each stack we get lasts 30 seconds , a fairly long amount of time that will allow us to maintain the bonus even after performing a complete rotation on the team. Another aspect to keep in mind is that each passive stack is independent, meaning that its duration will not be reset when another stack is obtained.
The only bad thing about this sword is that its passive will be completely wasted when fighting against World Bosses, Weekly Bosses and in some rooms on the 12th Floor of the Abyss in which we face a single enemy or a few, since to generate For the bonuses of this passive, we will need to face multiple enemies at the same time.
WHICH CHARACTER IS TEAMED?
We can equip it to practically any Main DPS that carries a Light Sword, but those characters that deal good area damage will stand out above all in order to more easily obtain ATK% charges:
One of the best candidates for this sword would be Kamisato Ayaka , since having one of the highest Base Attacks in the game we will be very interested in equipping this sword to enhance this parameter as much as possible.
In addition, his play style coincides quite closely with the passive of this sword, because he is a character that is practically only played in Frozen teams, which are mainly designed for combats with many small enemies, so it will be very easy to maintain the passive of this sword is always active.
Kamisato Ayato is a character who generates a high amount of Hydro Damage with his fast Normal Attacks imbued with Hydro through his Elemental Skill, these can generate area damage and therefore, we can quite easily activate the Attack charges that we Grants this sword’s passive. Additionally, his Ultimate Skill passively deals damage over a very large area.
This character is not known for having many good F2P weapon options for him, so the Dark Crag Longsword is one of the few four-star weapons that can give him a balanced amount of both Critical Damage and Attack.
