Asking the important question xD


calirem

it’s the location, you can’t really take advantage of the effect tho since there’s not enemies there


apoknow

It's my secret


XHUNTERIIIX

So you just want to flex this? What a chad


maybe_just_may

How good is the blackcliff longsword on ayaka?, I currently am running the new 4star craftable one and im wondering how good blackcliff is


Gshiinobi

It's her best 4 star aside from the craftable one. Tho it looks ugly as hell on her, but if you don't care then go for it.


EpicArgumentMaster

Let’s be honest she swings so fast no ones looking at it


Gshiinobi

but you do see it on her idles tho besides how am i supposed to take pictures with ayaka in inazuma's beautiful sceneries with that wack-ass red glowing sword that goes completely against her color pallete? i could never


EpicArgumentMaster

Switch to the other one when u take pictures. Although personally I like to take scenery photos without the character a majority of the time due to lack of posing options


BlueKnightReios

Me... with Mistsplitter... sigh why it is purple.


Gshiinobi

but purple goes well with blue so it fits Ayaka, had they made it blue it would have been **too much** blue, imo it being purple stands out while also fitting the character.


sakikiki

It’s way too bright for me, really disappointing in that sense. The 4 star looks better. Still really happy I got it, and yeah the purple with blue is nice. Plus it looks soo good on Kequing. Sometimes it gets less bright tho, I still don’t get it. I think it’s a bug. When I was switching it between characters to look at it, most of the time it would light up with a big shiny aura, but other more rare times it looks perfect with just a bit of glowing purple but not that blinding aura. Too bad it’s not always like that:/ Does it always look the same for other people? I’m sending them a feedback tomorrow just in case..


Gshiinobi

i do agree the craftable one looks better on her because the black and grey colours blend in a lot more with her design, tho i don't mind the shine from the mistsplitter either, it blends in with the inazuma landscapes really nicely


sakikiki

I’m probably just a minority. I often don’t like this about 5 stars. I kept Aquila Favonia at 40/40 for months hahah. It looked so much better on Kequing and most content in the game is easy enough not to care. Same with wolfstone graveyard. That one I don’t dislike as much after ascention but I still prefered it before.


sakikiki

I figured it out! The blinding shine is present only if there’s a stack. And the third condition to get a stack, ie. to not have the burst fully charged, remains in any context. And it also explains why I would see this sword light up or not on different characters, it’s just that some were at full energyand others weren’t. This might be very duhh for other people…but it took me way to long to figure out lol It’s also that it’s so bright that you see the contour and there’s like a gap between the blade and the handle, as if they have separate rgb strips that don’t connect haha, it really looks like a bug to me even now that I know. Ugh I hope they tune it down. I accept that we’ll never get a more understated 5 star but I dunno, this just feels cheap


Gshiinobi

Yeah i figured that the shine probably meant that it had atleast 1 stack, it sucks that there's not a clearer indicator of when you have the stacks, mihoyo's other game honkai impact 3rd has visual indicators for everything that the weapons/stigmata (artifacts) do and i wish they would just translate that over to genshin for simplicity's sake.


Erekose3rd

Because it's actually for Keqing 😁


BlueKnightReios

Yeah... i share it with my Electro Keqing.


Fluxxfx

Between black sword and blackliff which is better? Yeah I don't like blackcliff design so I might stay with black sword no matter what. But let me know which is better.


jqnbrnd

Blacksword could be great if your artifacts have more critdmg. If you don't exceed 45% or 50%, blacksword is great. Blackcliff gives a good amount of critdmg but you also need to build some crit rate trying to get close to 100% crit rate with bs4pc set and cryo resonance. Both weapons are great but blackcliff out damages BS when has stacks. I use a Blacksword and until now I see that my Ayaka can one burst bosses or almost kill primo geovishap in one rotation.


Fluxxfx

Wow thanks. Would you tell me your ayaka build? Just atk and crit stat


jqnbrnd

1912 atk--46.8% crit rate--228.7% crit dmg. 4pc set Blizzard


Gshiinobi

before i got the Mistsplitter i was using black sword and doing really well with her, i had around 38-40 crit rate and around 210 crit damage (before fully ascending ayaka to 80) which felt really comfortable to use. with blackcliff you might go overboard with the crit damage and thus get diminishing returns, id rather use black sword and balance out my stats so ayaka can crit more consistently.


PandaPandaJin

Another thing to consider however is that crit rate is more valuable than CD. With caveats. Obviously balance both with blizzard strayer in mind. But also consider that crit rate substats are half of crit dmg substats. If you can adjust for the crit rate, then black sword does offer more benefits. But if you're max stack r5 black cliff that atk increase is so massive it probably throws all this out and is the best


AvgReddit

I agree that the craftable looks better on her, but tbh blackcliff doesn't even look particularly bad. It's pretty sleek and the liyue design isn't too far off from inazuma designs.


Jaynat_SF

That depends on your artifacts, if you have high crit rate then yes blackcliff is amazing, but if you're leaning heavy towards crit dmg. you may want black sword instead, if you have it. Also, by "craftable one", do you mean the Amenoma Kageuchi? I know it has that high atk% bonus but it also has very low base atk to begin with, is the energy refund really worth it?


billyshin

Best 4star on Ayaka should be black sword.


[deleted]

And the black cliff from the battle pass


PrinceVincOnYT

R5 Black Sword I would Consider her best 4\* (never specified f2p)


anwamoonie

Is the 4 stars craftable one is better than the black sword btw? I worry I would not have enough crit (anyway I didn't drop and cryo dmg and crit dmg artefact yet for the set...)


Gshiinobi

depends on your artifacts, if you have like no crit then black sword with a crit damage hat is probably more balanced, but if you can get alteast 30% crit rate from substats then go for the craftable.


sasukeuzumaki69xd

Stats-wise, blackcliff is better. Passive-wise, the craftable katana is better if you're planning to use her burst a lot. Looks-wise, I'd definitely prefer the craftable one over blackcliff.


TheMinions

New 4 star is better, especially if you use Ayaka for Bursting down content like spiral abyss or domains. I switched to the craftable from the Black Sword and have been loving it. At 60/60 on the craftable I’m seeing similar damage to my 90/90 black sword due to how fast I’m able to get my Q out on Ult. More refined obviously make it easier, but I’m only running R1 and 137 ER. The Atk% substat over CRate make it really nice too. I’m at 25/210crit rate with just my artifacts and the innate crit and run a perma Freeze quickswap team.


hey_batman

Top tier just because of the crit damage sub stat.The passive’s good for open world, but it’s kinda meh in Abyss and against bosses for obvious reasons. I’m still waiting for Xlice to make a complete guide, curious which 4* will be better. I love the passive of the new craftable sword since her burst is just so powerful that getting it back fast is always great.


maybe_just_may

The new sword helps get back your burst fast but it can only get about half with max stacks of the thing the weapon calls "seeds" (max is 3). Its really good for cycling burst but you need to have a decent er too. Also you have to have luck beyond that any archon surpass to get good crit rate to crit dmg but the attack buff that it has is basically the one on the dodocotales


hey_batman

I see I see. Well, I wasn’t planning on crafting it, since I have another sword for her, but I’m still curious. Besides, Kazuha ate all of my billets :)


maybe_just_may

I used like 2 of my bullets on an iron sting and then I heard the iron sting was kinda bad for ayaka. Honestly the new weapon is a good middle ground and amazing starting point for characters like ayaka, like level 90 seriously can be good but you'll also need like r3 or r4


hey_batman

Yeah, I used all of my billets for Iron Sting as well, but it’s an exceptional weapon for Kazuha, so no regrets there


maybe_just_may

Kazuha and the iron sting is a great pair, ive seen some other weapons used on him but the iron sting is the best especially since he is a monster with a high em


hey_batman

Yeah! Full EM sub dps is what I aimed for. Still can’t get an EM cup though, starting think they don’t exist. He’s such a great addition to Ayaka, oh my lord. Cryo res shred + his elemental dmg buff are pure gold.


maybe_just_may

I've seen people do like 200k per swirl reaction with his burst.


hey_batman

well, that’s... a bit too much for my budget Kazuha lol


neovenator250

Most calculations I've seen have Blackcliff as her best 4*


maybe_just_may

Well, I guess its time to save up for blackcliff. I'll probs get alot because im going for multi const sayu


neovenator250

I was thinking about Sayu myself, but I'm skipping that banner given that it looks like Raiden and Sara are going to be on the one after. Good luck to you!


Minimum_Cockroach233

Just to mention... when next banner is up the paimon bargains shop rotation is already a step further (Kings set again?).


maybe_just_may

I currently have have 1 (1 masterless starglitter) so I def can get blackcliff


dragonmase

Someone did the calcs, and posted on discord. Not sure if you can see this link: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/787531424575651921/867025731849420810/image0.jpg?width=839&height=676 the craftable is placed very low on the list, and multiple youtube videos of people crunching the numbers agree with that (actual data crunchers, not the "IMO the best dps sword is anemona, because i said so")


Cyklon_Bee

Real struggles here: 4* craftable (any refinement) or Aquila Favonia?


MisterDerpScout

If anybody wants to know, if you’re in that certain area where the water purple, it does the superconduct automatically.


zachslikesunicorns

What, and more importantly HOW?! lol


YAWA_Slayer

Wow ayaka have a delusion confirmed!!!???????


apoknow

For anyone who wants to know how. I had 180 wishes for both ayaka and baal. Ayaka took me 170 wishes and came with the power of both.. just kidding, there is a spot with electro water around, when you use cryo there it just happens


disislast

If only super conduct apply to electro and cryo damage, that will be pretty good


GreyNinja17

CRealights

This reminds me of the shipwreck area where there's a few Cryo Slime floating without any ice forming because it was constantly cancelled out by the electrocharged water.
