Weapon comparison

Relative damage

Performance statistics are based on perfect Cost 4 Echo main stats. If the weapon provides Crit Rate, performance is calculated with Cost 4 Crit DMG. If the weapon provides Crit DMG, performance is calculated with Cost 4 Crit Rate. If the weapon provides neither, Cost 4 Crit Rate is used by default.

Emerald of Genesis R5

ATK 587Crit Rate 24.3%

102.29%Cost 4 Crit DMG

The best overall option. It provides slightly more Crit Rate than the equivalent Cost 4 main stat, plus Energy Regen and an ATK buff that improves Yangyang's Basic Attack and Liberation damage.

Weapon effect

Increases Energy Regen by 25.6%. When Resonance Skill is released, increases ATK by 12%, stacking up to 2 times for 10s.

Blazing Brilliance R1

ATK 587Crit DMG 48.6%

100%Cost 4 Crit Rate

Yangyang can reach the weapon's full stacks, but they are applied at the end when Forte hits and do not affect the final hit. The stacks apply only after using the Skill, and their timing usually gives 10 to 14 stacks, so this comparison uses an average of 12. It is a good option if Yangyang stays on field longer than 6 to 7 seconds for extra personal damage; Emerald of Genesis is usually preferred.

Weapon effect

ATK increased by 12%. The equipper gains 1 stack of Searing Feather upon dealing damage (once every 0.5s), and 5 stacks upon casting Resonance Skill. Each stack grants 4% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus, up to 14 stacks. All stacks expire 12s after reaching max stacks.
