As you already know, miHoYo revealed the new weapon gacha banner inGenshin Impact(PC,PS4,PS5, Mobile, release date TBA forSwitch), which most notably contains three new weapons, one of which is the Lithic Blade.The next weapon gacha banner inGenshin Impactwill go from February 23 to March 16. The five star featured weapons are the Wolf’s Gravestone and theStaff of Homa. The banner will also have new four star weapons, the Lithic Blade, and the Lithic Spear.We’ll take a quick look at the Lithic Blade in this small guide.
Genshin Impact - Lithic Blade Details
Lithic Blade is a four star Claymore weapon. Meaning characters like Diluc, Xinyan, Noelle, or Razor can equip it. It’s a brand new weapon and a pretty interesting one for several aspects.
First, Lithic Blade has an ATK % as its base stat. Which makes it from the get go a reliable weapon for an ATK DPS based Claymore character. At level 90, Lithic Blade has a Base ATK of 510, and its ATK % innate stats is at 41.3%.
Secondly, For every character in your party from Liyue Harbor, the Lithic Blade gains a 7% ATK increase and a 3% Crit Rate increase. The character equipping the Lithic Blade themselves count as well. Meaning you can go up to a bonus of 28% ATK and 12% Crit Rate.
Lithic Blade is definitely one of the best four star Claymores you’re able to get for Chongyun, Beidou, or Xinyan, with a party setup of only Liyue characters.
The Lithic Blade is a time-limited weapon, meaning you have until March 17 to try and pull it. It’ll probably be back in another weapon banner someday, but not anytime soon. I’d personally suggest waiting until the last day to pull, so in the meanwhile you’re able to see if you really need the weapon or not. Moreover, it’s likely miHoYo would have held theGenshin Impactversion 1.4 live stream by March 16. Meaning new character(s) and info to take into account for your pulls.
Genshin ImpactFebruary - March Weapon Banner
Genshin Impactcurrently has a clicker web event,Wish Upon a Lantern, ongoing till February 25.
Be sure to check the latest video ofmiHoYo VTuberLumi N0va if you haven’t yet. Version 1.3 launched on February 2. All its details can be foundhere. miHoYo did not announce the release date of Version 1.4 yet, nor disclose any of its contents. Some leaks about Version 1.4 content have been making the rounds. We recently explained how and where theGenshin Impactleakscome from.
Personally speaking, again and again, I wouldn’t recommend pulling on weapon banners. With that said, Lithic Blade is a four star weapon, meaning you’ll have a good chance of getting it every ten pulls. I’d recommend pulling only if you’re also aiming for one of the three other unique weapons of the banner. And are really in dire need of weapons of those types.
In case you missed it, miHoYogiftedseveral pieces of hardware to its staff for the Chinese new year. Lastly, be sure to read all the dates and times for the ongoingLantern Rite Festivalevents.
