Tidal Shadow Best Characters

Who is Tidal Shadow Good For?

Recommended Characters
Beidou	Chongyun	Sayu

Decent for ATK Sub-DPS and Healer-Having Teams

The Tidal Shadow claymore is a decent F2P weapon for claymore characters that rely on ATK to buff and increase their utility. The passive can be triggered the most in parties with a dedicated healer.

Can be Paired with Burst Healers

The character does not necessarily need to be on-field for the passive to be activated, meaning burst-healers such as Sayu, Jean, or Qiqi can activate the passive. However, the passive only lasts for 8 seconds afterwards.

Note that while these characters can use this claymore, it may not be their best weapon depending on their builds and teams.
