1) Primordial Jade Winged-Spear (ATK: 674 • CRIT Rate: 22.1%)

On hit, increases ATK by 3.2/3.9/4.6/5.3/6.0% for 6s. Max 7 stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0.3s. While in possession of the maximum possible stacks, DMG dealt is increased by 12/15/18/21/24%.

2) Staff of Homa (ATK: 608 • Crit Damage: 66.2%)

HP increased by 20/25/30/35/40%. Additionally, provides an ATK bonus based on 0.8/1/1.2/1.4/1.6% of the wielder's max HP. When the wielder's HP is less than 50%, this ATK bonus is increased by an additional 1/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8% of max HP.

3) Vortex Vanquisher (ATK: 608 • ATK: 49.6%)

Increases Shield Strength by 20/25/30/35/40%. Scoring hits on opponents increases ATK by 4/5/6/7/8% for 8s. Max 5 stacks. Can only occur once every 0.3s. While protected by a shield, this ATK increase effect is increased by 100%.
Note: In teams with fewer ATK Buffs such as from Bennett / TTDS this weapon will perform slightly better than Calamity Queller, or when using Marechaussee Hunter (4) while shielded and fully stacked it can even perform slightly better than Staff of Homa in teams with Bennett and Faruzan.

4) Deathmatch (ATK: 454 • Crit Rate: 36.8%)

If there are at least 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 16/20/24/28/32% and DEF is increased by 16/20/24/28/32%. If there are less than 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 24/30/36/42/48%.
Note: At [R5] this weapon performs similarly to Staff of the Scarlet Sands.

5) Skyward Spine (ATK: 674 • Energy Recharge: 36.8%)

Increases CRIT Rate by 8/10/12/14/16% and increases Normal ATK SPD by 12%. Additionally, Normal and Charged Attacks hits on opponents have a 50% chance to trigger a vaccuum blade that deals 40/55/70/85/100% of ATK as DMG in a small AoE. This effect can occur no more than once every 2s.

6) Wavebreaker's Fin (ATK: 620 • ATK: 13.8%)

For every point of the entire party's combined maximum energy capacity, the Elemental Burst DMG of the character equipping this weapon is increased by 0.12/0.15/0.18/0.21/0.24%. A maximum of 40/50/60/70/80% increased Elemental Burst DMG can be achieved this way.

7) Favonius Lance (ATK: 565 • Energy Recharge: 30.6%)

CRIT Hits have a 60/70/80/90/100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12/10.5/9/7.5/6s.
Note: In teams with higher Energy Recharge Requirements, this weapon is slighty worse than Deathmatch.

8) White Tassel (ATK: 401 • Crit Rate: 23.4%)

Increased Normal Attack DMG by 24/30/36/42/48%.

1) Vermillion Hereafter (4)

2-Piece Bonus: ATK +18%.
4-Piece Bonus: After using an Elemental Burst. this character will gain the Nascent Light effect, increasing their ATK by 8% for 16s. When the character's HP decreases, their ATK will further increase by 10%. This increase can occur this way maximum of 4 times. This effect can be triggered once every 0.8s. Nascent Light will be dispelled when the character leaves the field. If an Elemental Burst is used again during the duration of Nascent Light, the original Nascent Light will be dispelled.

2) Marechaussee Hunter

2-Piece Bonus: Normal and Charged Attack DMG +15%.
4-Piece Bonus: When current HP increases or decreases, CRIT Rate will be increased by 12% for 5s. Max 3 stacks.
Note: This set is generally worse than Vermillion Hereafter (4). However, it gains significant value with ATK% and Flat DMG buffs such as Bennett, TTDS, and Xianyun. MH provides a significant amount of Crit Rate. Do keep in mind that due to Xiao's ascension stat being Crit Rate, it may be difficult to optimize around this set if using Crit Rate weapons.

3) +15% Anemo DMG set (2) / +18% ATK set (2) / Emblem of Severed Fate (2) [Choose Two]*

Note: Prioritize +15% Anemo DMG set (2) over the other +18% ATK set (2) sets if there are external ATK% buff sources on your team. Emblem of Severed Fate (2) can be used if you lack Energy Recharge substats while using a non-Energy Recharge weapon.
