Great for Elemental Reaction Characters

The Xiphos' Moonlight is great for characters like Kazuha, Kuki Shinobu, and Nilou who deal damage through Elemental Reactions. It is also a great weapon for supporting the team thanks to its skill passive.

Xiphos' Moonlight for Kazuha

The Xiphos' Moonlight is one of Kazuha's best 4-star weapons. It can slightly fix Kazuha's underlying Energy Recharge issues while also providing slight Energy Recharge buffs for the team!

Xiphos' Moonlight for Nilou

Xiphos' Moonlight is also a good weapon for an on-field Nilou as the primary Hydro applicator on enemies (like in triple Dendro team comps). It's not better than the Key of Khaj-Nisut, but it's a close second!

Is the Xiphos' Moonlight Worth it?

The Xiphos' Moonlight is great and is definitely worth pulling for. A big problem for Elemental Reaction characters is sacrificing Elemental Mastery for Energy Recharge. With the Xiphos' Moonlight, you can fully invest into Elemental Mastery while still building a bit of Energy Recharge!
