The heart of Ayato’s combat prowess lies significantly in his weapon. Haran Geppaku Futsu, Ayato’s signature sword, doesn’t offer a direct numerical percentage increase that’s easily stated in one simple figure. Its value is multifaceted and conditional, increasing Elemental DMG Bonus by 12% and providing a stacking ATK bonus based on team elemental skill usage, this bonus gives a conditional percentage increase depending on the base attack. This makes it difficult to state one percentage, however, the Critical Hit Rate is 11%. The weapon’s impact can vary based on Ayato’s build, team composition, and playstyle. Let’s dive into the mechanics and significance of this weapon in detail.
Haran Geppaku Futsu: A Deep Dive
Haran Geppaku Futsu isn’t just a stat stick; it’s a weapon that synergizes perfectly with Ayato’s kit and promotes a specific playstyle. The 12% Elemental DMG Bonus is a constant boost to Ayato’s Hydro damage, which is significant, especially considering his damage primarily comes from his Elemental Skill. However, the real power lies in its passive.
Understanding the “Haran” Passive
The “Haran” passive states that when other nearby party members use Elemental Skills, the character equipping this weapon will gain 1 stack of Wavespike. Max 2 stacks. When the equipping character’s Normal Attacks hit opponents, all stacks of Wavespike will be consumed to increase Normal Attack DMG by 20% for each stack for 8s. This means a maximum 40% Normal Attack DMG Bonus. This passive is tailored for Ayato because:
- Ayato’s primary damage source during his Elemental Skill is his Normal Attacks, which are infused with Hydro.
- The passive encourages a team composition where other characters frequently use their Elemental Skills, maximizing stack acquisition.
The effective “percentage” of this weapon is therefore dynamic. If your team is built to constantly cycle through Elemental Skills, the 40% Normal Attack DMG bonus will be active for a significant portion of Ayato’s on-field time. If not, the impact is considerably less.
Base Attack and Substat Synergies
Haran Geppaku Futsu boasts a high base attack, making it easier to scale Ayato’s overall damage. Its Crit Rate substat (ranging from 9.6% to 44.1% at max level) is also crucial. It allows you to focus on Crit Damage on his artifacts, further amplifying his damage output.
Ayato’s Best Build and Teams
To maximize the value of Haran Geppaku Futsu, consider the following:
- Artifacts: Focus on Heart of Depth or Echoes of an Offering sets. These sets further boost Normal Attack DMG or ATK, complementing the weapon’s passive.
- Team Composition: Build teams that revolve around frequent Elemental Skill usage. Characters like Yae Miko, Fischl, Xingqiu, and Beidou are excellent choices.
- Rotation: Prioritize your team’s Elemental Skills before unleashing Ayato’s Elemental Skill. This ensures you gain maximum Wavespike stacks before he starts attacking.
Is Haran Geppaku Futsu Worth Pulling?
The worth of pulling for Haran Geppaku Futsu depends on several factors:
- Do you have Ayato? If you don’t have Ayato, the weapon is significantly less valuable.
- Are you willing to invest in Ayato? If you plan to make Ayato your main DPS and are committed to building a team around him, Haran Geppaku Futsu is a worthwhile investment.
- What other weapons do you have? If you already have a good Crit Rate or Crit DMG sword, the upgrade might not be significant enough to warrant spending Primogems.
- Are you F2P or a low spender? Weapon banners can be expensive. Consider your budget and prioritize character banners if you are on a tight budget.
Ayato vs. Ayaka: Weapon Choices
While Mistsplitter Reforged is often considered the better weapon overall, the situation changes when comparing weapons for each character. Haran Geppaku Futsu is perfectly tailored for Ayato’s kit, while Mistsplitter Reforged suits Ayaka’s Cryo-infused attacks and burst damage playstyle. Therefore, the “better” weapon depends entirely on who you plan to use it with.
