Item Story
In the era when the desert king ruled the lands, authority covered the realm like sunlight over the rolling dunes. The surviving songs of the nomads are like the chirping of desert insects, forever singing of the glory of that forgotten golden age. The red lord, they say, once contended against the bright sun, and ultimately fell to the earth like a meteorite. There are those amongst the priests, they say, who were not slain by the kings and princes who followed, who pass down King Deshret's art of archery... The descendants of the priests call themselves the "Heirs of the Burning Sun," and practice the ceremonies of King Deshret's kingdom from days past without ceasing. Even the travelling merchants and their information networks know precious little about these mysterious cabals. Few among the gilded descendants of the desert have the right to inherit the legacy of King Deshret's priests, and few can still read the ancient texts, Much less the graceful combat arts that the ancient priests had mastered: cudgel, spear, and that of which they were most proud, archery. The Eremites name these people "ascetics," and some have now turned their loyalty to the only surviving God King of Sumeru. But most disappeared into the boundless desert, hiding among the snakes, scorpions, and specters of the ancient kingdom. Those loyal to the rainforest retain the customs of being hidden and silent, using their strength to repay the ancient favor, Yet in their heart of hearts, they deeply mourn their ancestors and His Majesty, King Deshret, who met with disaster millennia before. In this way, the elegant and ancient art and ceremony of archery has been passed down till today by the descendants of the priests. Though the meaning of many ancient texts and pictures have long been lost or have succumbed to error, And though the mighty figure of the red lord nocking an arrow to his bow has become only a shattered dream of the distant past... The fragile embers of that ancient nation have not yet been extinguished, but have become an even more deeply concealed element, Passing on their inherited knowledge of the ancient days, protecting civilization today. And among those "ascetics" who disappeared into the desert, some strayed from the path of the priest. They became obsessed with fleeting mirages of authority, attempting to meddle with and mold the nomadic tribes. Using the strict ceremonies of the ancient past, they trained lost children as "Falcons." The advanced techniques honed from generation to generation to cultivate noble warriors have today taken a decidedly different path. To assist in the birth of a new "king," they trained completely mindless Falcons and dogs... But that is another tale for another time, for those with great ambition often disappear into the vast desert, Without a sound, like bitter tears falling into the infinite and endless ocean. |

I can’t believe they want to introduce ANOTHER CRIT RATE weapon with battle pass
they’re too stupid, it’s absurd
ok it’s different from viridiscent hunt or whatever, but was that too difficult,to make crit dmg instead? at least they’re complementary, under a certain aspect
but no
again rate
stupid idiots
Crit damage is interchangeable to the stat to which the character scales off. You first need to have a healthy crit rate to start investing on crit damage, and at certain point you start getting diminishing returns with only crit damage. So its better to adjust a build with crit rate, if the character also ascends with crit rate you substats alone will be easier to take you to a good crit value.
It is also a tactic, crit rate is unobtainable on 4 star weapons without a battle pass, meanwhile the paimon shops already has crit damage weapons. They are not stupid.
Also freaking bows have 6 CV 5 star weapons (5 because of Tighnari) and only 2 that are not, they also have 3 CV on 3 stars and now 3 on 4 stars they are eating well. Meanwhile, claymore has 2 5 star weapons and one of them just got deleted from rotation thanks to Dehya, none on 3 stars and 3 on 4 stars (with the new one from this battle pass being absolute garbage)
For anyone asking:
The wording of this weapon implicates that the Heartseeker effect remains as a debuff for the duration of 10s.
“Applies Heartseeker effect ‘on’ the opponent for 10s -> Opponents affected by Heartsearer take 56% more Charged Attack DMG from the wielder.”
This means that for 10s, the character does 28~56% more with CAs on that specific opponent affected.
So pretty insane weapon and maybe it is even an event weapon (yeah, I know, it won’t be, lol).
The downside here:
-> It seems like the first opponent hit, eat the heartseeker arrow (so it sounds like a single-target arrow), which means it works very well against single-targets, but not against groups. So if you want to use this on Ganyu in the Abyss, aim at the spongiest opponent in a group to guarantee that effect on them. Tighnari has less to worry, as he’s single-target focused.
Definitely a very nice weapon, imo. High base ATK and crit sub-stat is always nice on a 4* weapon, plus a decent-to-really-good weapon effect makes it even better.
it additive to other dmg bonuses, like Mona’s omen.
I assume you must be new to Genshin in order to make such a comment. No worries, we all were at some point, however I’d recommend looking at other 4-star weapons so you have a better understanding on how base Atk and substats scaling works (also explained by the other person replying to your comment).
new battles pass weapon ?
this one passive is so unclear:
1) there is no duration specified on its debuff effect (increase dmg taken from charge attacks), does this mean is it only 1 time after the follow up CA hits, then its gone?
2) does the Sunfire Arrow single target only (like an extra arrow from tighnari CA effect, but 1 instance of it), but in description says “decend” instead of shoot/fires, then could it be a mini-AoE, if so, will all enemy hit by it will get debuff too?
if the effect is not only a one time dmg bonus debuff every 10 secs, then it could be OP in high hp enemies like boss. Its weird that it doesn’t provide the duration on its debuff, even umbrella has duration of its effect (10s duration while 15s cd, cd resets if affected got kill before 10s duration expires), so I assume its only 1 time dmg bonus every 12 secs (until its confirmed)
1. “and applying the Heartsearer effect to the opponent damaged by said Arrow for 10s.” this means opponents affected by the Heartsearer are debuffed for 10 seconds. the 10 seconds is the duration.
2. not sure about the Sunfire Arrow being AoE or single target. it’d be stronger if it is AoE.
Low base atk, Low crit%…. New 4star weapons “seems” pretty better than this.
What??? 565 is what’s considered “high” base ATK for a 4* weapon (454 low, 510 mid, 565 high). A high base ATK balances out with a low substat, and vice versa.
shhh dont tell them, they probably spend way too much money on 5* weapons and have their perception of reality completely tarnished
Holy cr4p, you guys are right. My bad my bad, i mistook this with the new 5Star bow…. To a 4star this bow has some pretty insane stats to a 4stars just like Mouun’s Moon bow, but kinda better since we don’t need R5 this for a support like F2P KujouSara.
but how this %+ will work? it says that will increase de dmg of charged attack, but will be only the next charged? if it so, with this 12s cd will not be good for ganyu nor tighnari for obvious reasons, they can shoot various times between 12s cd… and we already have various good bows for them….
this is a battle pass weapon right? why doesn’t it have a refreshing effect like the umbrella, like sure it might be good in single target but is gonna be way worse than the umbrella in aoe i cant
hello ganyu mains
