Genshin Impact: Sacrificial Sword - How to get it, stats and materials for ascension

The Sacrificial Sword is one of the best swords for support characters in the game, even though it is a four-star weapon. The Sacrificial Sword is unique in that it can completely reset the cooldown of a character's Elemental Skill, allowing them to cast it twice and gain more energy.

As a 4-star weapon, the weapon is obtainable from the Standard Banner, Featured Banner, and Weapon Banner. You can get this weapon at any time from all three banners, making it an attractive option for free-to-play or low-cost players. Occasionally, this weapon will have a speed boost on the weapon banner, so keep your eyes peeled if you need this weapon.

Sacrificial Sword Statistics:

• Rarity: 4 stars
• ATT: 41 - 454

• Secondary Statistical Level: 13,3% - 61,3%
• Passive: Compound: After dealing damage to an opponent with an elemental ability, the ability has a 40% chance to run out of its DC. It can only occur once every 30 seconds.

Is the sacrificial sword good?

The Sacrificial Sword is an excellent support item for sword-wielding characters such as Xingqiu and Kazuha. Both characters appreciate being able to use their abilities twice, as it generates more energy and allows them to cast their Elemental Burst more often. Not to mention that both characters have highly damaging elemental abilities, so a double throw also means more damage.

However, the Sacrificial Sword is less useful on lower refinements. A 40% chance to reset cooldowns over 30 seconds is not excellent, so more sacrificial swords must be drawn to increase the percentage chance and reduce the cooldown.
