Guys, what would one do with Shenhes weapon if one doesn't have(nor planning to) Shenhe? I was fishing for Xiphos so I could have it at r5 and got that spear early.
It's a great atk stick that buffs itself faster off field and actually viable on most dps and some supports. It was shit when only shenhe wanted (and she prefers energy anyway) but now we have atk scalling supports.
iansan: Buff scales with weapon base atk + atk%, granting the highest possible buff, but no energy.
Xiao: Since he gets a ton of dmg bonus from burst+furina and crit from MH, the atk% scales well enough to be top 3~.
escoffier and emilie: Around second best after sig, assuming your arts have good crit ratio.
Arlechino: If you're not using bennet atk buff, arle actually uses CQ well due to how her rotation works (use skill then leave for a bit, getting max atk stacks and come back).
Raiden: Without bennet she gets a lot of value from atk% due to high dmg bonus and rotation, but it's gonna be hard to balance high ER with good crit ratio.
Ineffa: She's an atk scaling skill subdps/shielder so this will be good on her unless they change her kit.
xiangling is ironically a bad holder because she already gets atk from bennet and snapshots.
I kinda want to roll on that banner so bad because of xiphos but i already got a jade spear at level 1 and i don't want skirk rn so i'd have no one to hold her sword...
