Genshin Impact: Skyward Pride - How to get it, stats and materials for ascension

The Skyward Pride is a 5-star weapon that boasts a significant amount of energy recharge for a character. However, the weapon is less offensive than other 5-star weapons, making it a little less effective. Skyward Pride is part of the “Skyward Series” of weapons, which includes Skyward Spine, Skyward Harp, Skyward Atlas and Skyward Blade.

As a 5-star weapon, the Skyward Spine is obtainable from the Standard Banner and the Weapon Banner. You can get this weapon at any time from either banner, being a standard 5-star weapon. It's hard to get, as it's 5 star, so count your blessings if you're lucky enough to get it.

Is Skyward Pride good?

As a 5-star weapon, the Skyward Pride boasts a large amount of attacks, reaching nearly 700 base ATK. This is useful for any character, but unfortunately, it's the pinnacle of this weapon. By now, the passive of the weapon is outclassed and the Energy Reload substat is undesirable on a 5-star weapon.

Skyward Pride isn't the best for any Claymore character, and is even outclassed by some 4-star weapons depending on the character. However, due to the high base ATK, you can do worse than Skyward Pride. If you're looking for a strong Claymore for your DPS characters, don't roll for a Skyward Pride. Instead, you can spend around $ 10 to purchase the battle pass and acquire a Serpent Spine instead.
