Who is Moonpiercer Good For?

Xiangling ImageXiangling Thoma ImageThoma Yaoyao ImageYaoyao

Good for Sub-DPS and Support

The Moonpiercer is a flexible weapon that can work for both Sub-DPS and Support Characters. Its EM substat means that the character wielding the weapon will be dealing damage primarily through Elemental Reactions.

At the same time, it can also provide an ATK% buff to whichever character picks up the leaves from its passive.

Is Moonpiercer a Good Weapon?

Given how few Support Polearms there are, the Moonpiercer easily falls under as one of the better Support Polearms in the game. As a Sub-DPS weapon, it falls a bit behind other damage dedicated polearms such as The Catch.

She doesn't need EM, useless sub stat for her

Why isn't Emilie one of the recommended characters? Seems more obvious of a choice than most others, tbh
