Leaks also suggest tons of fun limited-time events and a potential return trip toDragonspine(that frostyMondstadtmountain!). Plus, rumors of new areas inNatlanalong with some brand-new world quests, enemies – and now weapons. This means big changes to your teams! Let's explore all those shiny new toys (that also showcase just how interesting the upcoming gameplay content might actually be; even showcasing new, exciting characters!). And for those eager to be fully prepared to acquire those important rewards – don’t forget to check that subreddit for additional insights and gameplay hints!
Four New Weapons: A Closer Look at the Leaks
Four new weapons got leaked: a5-star bow,a4-star catalyst,a4-star bow,and a4-star sword(all information is via theHoney Hunter Worlddatabase). It's assumed the 5-star bow goes with the rumored Cásca; those 4-star ones probably join the event banner and possibly even be a new event reward (based on another Reddit leak).Those descriptions given might change; those new additions are still unconfirmed– they're essentially predictions and subject to various production issues, which could result in a delayed launch. And these are highly requested content so don’t take it too lightly!
Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage: The 5-Star Bow for Swirl Masters
TheAstral Vulture's Crimson Plumageis this epic5-star bow, the perfect weapon forCásca. The leaks really imply these were crafted specifically with that new character's abilities, yet not solely used there! Those stats are insane (608 base ATKat level90,66% CRIT DMGat level90)! But here’s what matters most: that powerful skill– “The Moonring Sighted”—a huge24% ATK boostfor12 secondswhenever you get aSwirl Reaction. It also offers a significant and rather surprisingly large boost towards elemental burst output! Even better, other teammates who have other elemental types add yet more significant ATK boosts towards charged attacks!
The leaks show this is meant forAnemoDPS characters; Cásca's reportedly field-based Charged Attack gameplay and is perfect. This could also massively benefitDPS Venti. It remains really unclear how it works on others.
Flower-Wreathed Feathers: The 4-Star Bow for Charged Attack Specialists
This4-star bow, "Flower-Wreathed Feathers," offers different benefits! Base ATK(510 at level 90),41% ATK sub-stat at level90– pretty insane. This skill; a decrease toGliding Stamina consumption (15%)—but this is rather insignificant and there are likely some other significant issues that could hamper the utility and performance, especially in those places where combat happens more frequently. Its actual combat bonus? That massive36%Charged Attack DMG boost fromsix stacks, gained while aiming. However, those stacks completely disappear ten seconds after that character’s stopped aiming; thus requiring constant precision and careful consideration regarding when to use this power!
This sounds amazing forCharged AttackDPS units such asGanyu,Lyney, or even possibly evenCásca! Characters likeTighnariandSethoshowever might benefit more from different kinds of bows; bows providingElemental Mastery, instead of these direct Charged Attack upgrades, and is also something players should consider and would further show how varied these kinds of power would be.
Waveriding Whirl: The 4-Star Catalyst for Hydro Healers
This 4-star catalyst ("Waveriding Whirl") has454 base ATKat level 90; huge61% Energy Recharge (ER) at level90. Those skills decreaseSwimming Stamina (15%), but provide that additional20% Max HP boostfor10 seconds, usable every15 seconds; meaning you'll really need to maintain that stamina while swimming, for this ability to be worthwhile! Even better–it gains more boosts (up to24%) whenever additional Hydro characters are in the party. A significant increase indeed.
It appears to be great forHydro healers, especially those scaling offHP—likeKokomiandBarbara. The hugeERis useful; helping recharge those abilities for a smoother, seamless play style!
Calamity of the Blighted Springs: The 4-Star Sword for Shielded DPS
This4-star sword("Calamity of the Blighted Springs") could even reachR5! Its leaked details showcase565 base ATKat level90, with27% ATKsub-stat at level90; making those upgrades relatively simple, assuming you get that R5 refinement rank upgrade!
Its skill is insane! When shielded:20% Normal/Charged ATK DMGplus8% CRIT Rateincrease. This would improve atR5—becoming40%/16%! This means that specific playstyles greatly impact this character, showcasing a far greater amount of depth when it comes to selecting your weapons in battle. This is incredibly good for thoseshielded DPScharacters; units which may frequently engage using both those types of attacks. Some suggested targets areAyatoandClorinde; but this might work on others such asAyakaandKeqing—although, others work better!
