One of the things that makes Genshin Impact’s weapon system unique is the skills each comes with. Frequently, these skills will make a weapon of lower rarity a much more valuable option than other weapons that appear to be better. The Sacrificial Sword is a great example of this.
Who should use the Sacrificial Sword in Genshin Impact?
Even with a lower base attack than most other four-star swords, it’s still the best slot weapon for Xingqiu. Its ability to frequently reset his long elemental skill cooldown helps him become a better battery and sub-DPS. It also provides Energy Recharge to fill his Elemental Burst gauge quicker and boost his burst damage when combined with the Emblem of Severed Fate artifact set. With the Ocean-hued Clam artifact set, this can also be a good weapon for Qiqi, though the Skyward Blade would be better. You could also use the Sacrificial Sword on Jean, particularly if you don’t have a better five-star weapon, but it won’t give you as much benefit as letting the first two characters wield it.
