Hover or Tap for Weapon Effect
• One of the best Crit DMG weapon in the game. Also provides unconditional ATK increase.
• Really easy to activate because it only requires Resonance Skill, which most characters will be doing anyway.
• A great stat stick even if your Resonator does not scale off Resonance Skill.
Wuthering Waves - Emerald Sentence Emerald Sentence Base ATK (Lv. 90): 587
Main Stat (Lv. 90): Crit. Rate +24.3%
Hover or Tap for Weapon Effect

Wuthering Waves - Red Spring Red Spring Base ATK (Lv. 90): 587

• Effect is only fully utilized by Camellya, since it requires using up Concerto Energy within her combos.

Main Stat (Lv. 90): Energy Regen +77.04%
Hover or Tap for Weapon Effect
• Provides an insane amount of Energy Regen which would just make your ER problems go away.
• A generalist weapon for Sub-DPS and Support characters like Rover and Sanhua, since it enables them to be built without thinking about ER.

Hover or Tap for Weapon Effect
• Could be a generalist weapon on paper because of the DEF ignore effect, but held back by the HP% main stat.
