Recommended Characters

Light of Foliar Incision is generally recommended for Main DPS sword users who can deal Elemental DMG using Normal Attacks. This is the signature weapon of Alhaitham and is considered his BiS (best-in-slot) weapon.

Since building Alhaitham will require you to provide him with a good amount of Elemental Mastery (EM), this weapon’s skill effect will make use of that stat to increase his damage potential further. And while Alhaitham deals raw or Spread DMG, the high CRIT DMG bonus stat will definitely provide better numbers. Lastly, the CRIT Rate from Whitemoon Bristle is a much-welcome bonus.

Another character who can take advantage of Light of Foliar Incision is the 5-star Hydro unit Kamisato Ayato. His Elemental Skill converts his Normal Attacks into AoE Hydro attacks, making it easy for him to trigger the skill effect of this sword. However, for this to be more effective, Ayato himself must have some EM. The same can be said about the 5-star Electro character Keqing.

Genshin Impact is an action role-playing game developed by miHoyo, also known as HoYoverse. The game is available for PC, PS4, PS5, iOS, and Android, while a release on Nintendo Switch is currently in the works.
