Prospector's Drill Best Characters

Who is Prospector's Drill Good For?

Recommended Characters
Cyno	Escoffier	Hu Tao
Raiden	Shenhe	Xiao
Rosaria	Xiangling

Primarily Used by DPS Characters

Same as Range Gauge, Prospector's Drill is a decent alternative for DPS characters like Xiao, Raiden, and Hu Tao. Xiao, in particular, can trigger the weapon's skill often with his Elemental Burst effect when he's paired with a healer, but it is not his best weapon.

Shenhe is also a nice addition to this roster as her Elemental Skill buff scales off of her ATK! Just keep in mind, however, to bring a healer to activate its buff!
