Character Deep Dive: Sacrificial Sword Edition
Bennett: The Pyro Support Extraordinaire
Bennett may not appear as a Sacrificial Sword user at first. However, it’s effective for Pyro support. The key lies in resetting his Elemental Skill cooldown. This allows double skill usage, generating energy particles for his Elemental Burst. Think of it as maximizing energy production to keep “Fantastic Voyage” ready. For damage-focused Bennett, other weapons are better. But for support, the Sacrificial Sword shines.
Kazuha: Anemo Crowd Control King
Kazuha excels in crowd control and elemental reactions. The Sacrificial Sword enhances these strengths. TheGamer mentions it’s like unlocking his first constellation. Using this sword means Kazuha can cast his Elemental Skill twice. This means double the crowd control, damage, and energy regeneration. For support-oriented Kazuha, the sword amplifies his battlefield control.
Kuki Shinobu: Electro Healer and Support
Kuki Shinobu is a unique Electro character. She blends healing and off-field Electro application. The Sacrificial Sword is great for her as a four-star character. Since her damage comes from Elemental Talents, a five-star sword is not efficient. This weapon helps her use her Elemental Skill more often. She provides consistent healing and reliable Electro application.
Ayaka: Burst Support Potential
Ayaka is known for her strong Cryo damage. Some players see her as a Burst support. Her Elemental Burst can cause massive damage with low field time. For Burst Ayaka, the Sacrificial Sword is effective due to its Energy Recharge. At max level, it shows a 61.3% Energy Recharge, which helps Ayaka charge her Burst quickly. This allows her to unleash blades often without being the main damage dealer.
Nilou: HP Scaling Bloom Enabler
Nilou focuses on HP scaling and Bloom reactions. The Sacrificial Sword works well with her kit. Its lower Base ATK isn’t a problem for her.Her damage depends on HP, not ATK. The sword’s skill cooldown reset helps her reapply Hydro often for Bloom reactions. It aligns perfectly with her scaling, making it a great fit.
Kaeya: Cryo Battery and Skill Spam
Kaeya is a versatile Cryo character. He can be a decent damage dealer or a Cryo battery. For this role, the Sacrificial Sword is an excellent choice. It allows Kaeya to cast his Elemental Skill, “Frostgnaw,” twice in quick sequence. This leads to double Cryo application and energy generation for the team. By doubling his Skill usage, he becomes a more effective energy source.
Sacrificial Sword vs. Iron Sting: A Quick Clash
The Sacrificial Sword often compares to Iron Sting. Which one is better? It depends on the situation. One player said it well: “If you lack energy recharge, use Sacrificial Sword. If you have enough ER or just want buffs, go for Iron Sting.” The Sacrificial Sword focuses on energy recharge for consistent Skill use. Iron Sting boosts damage by increasing Elemental Mastery.
