To upgrade the Mountain Fastener, the spikes mainly require materials from Natlana:
- Spirituality/Vision/Devastation/Decadence of the Holy Sage - farmed in the dungeon Ancient lookout point by Tuesdays, fridays и sundays.
- Elemental/Shimmering Nectar of the Hopper - can be obtained from jumper, which can be found in any corner of Teyvat. Sometimes the creatures hide in sugar flowers.
- Flame Eye/Life Seed and Flame Stones - Drops on kill Embodiments of Lava.
To awaken the spear, the mountain-fastening thorn, T5, you need to combine 4 duplicates with the main weapon. If you managed to get several copies of similar equipment while spending spins in the weapon banner, you will get a total increase of up to 48% to the damage of the elemental skill.
Who is the Mountain-Braising Thorn good for in Genshin Impact
The Mountain Anchoring Spike is designed for s and sub-DDs who need energy regeneration. The best wearers will be heroes who deal damage with elemental skills.
| Character | Recommendations |
|---|---|
Kachina |
Kachina is the best wielder of the epic spear. The heroine's elemental skill deals periodic Geo damage to the area and can be used in the middle of the rotation, which will allow you to activate the ive effect of the weapon. Energy recovery will help to use the explosive ultimate more often, and with the presence of the 2nd const, the character's combat potential will significantly expand due to the reduction in the time of the rotation. |
Emilia |
On the battlefield, Emilia needs to use Elemental Burst regularly, which can be helped by the energy recovery from the spear. However, there may be a problem with balancing the stats, as the most optimal build requires balancing crit damage and chance. |
Xiangling |
Xiangling benefits from the energy recovery from the spear's additional stats. The heroine deals most of her damage from an elemental explosion, not an elemental skill, so the weapon will be inferior to some alternative epic options. However, it will be a good temporary measure until more suitable equipment is acquired. |
Raiden |
The energy regeneration that the spear provides is an important stat for Raiden. Although, like Xiangling, almost all of the damage comes from the ultimate and the weapon is more of a stopgap, it can be used. |
Candace |
In elemental teams without a second Hydro hero, Kandakia has significant problems with restoring energy to use the elemental explosion. Despite the fact that the key characteristic of the girl is HP, accelerated regeneration of elemental particles will reduce the time the heroine stays on the field and quickly move on to the main damage dealer. |
To a lesser extent, the weapon is also suitable for other spear heroes who may benefit from energy recovery and damage from an elemental skill. However, almost all of the presented characters have a need for other characteristics or act more as a buffer than a sub-DD. In this case, the spear can be equipped on them only in the absence of better alternatives, as a temporary option:
| Character | Recommendations |
|---|---|
Chevreuse |
Thanks to the ive effect of the spear, the heroine can increase the damage from the elemental strike. Chevreuse does not really need to restore energy and often use the ultimate, so in artifacts it is enough to gain HP for the buff and crit. |
Shen He |
Shen He's skill is focused on buffing the team, not dealing damage to the target, so the buff received won't play a big role. Shen He cares much more about the base attack power and energy recovery from the weapon. |
Rosary |
Provided that Rosaria has a reasonable Critical Chance, the spear can increase the Cryo damage of the skill's dash and help the heroine use Elemental Burst more often. |
For classic damage dealers of various elements, a spear not fit. To heroes like Sayno, the most important thing is to get crit damage or chance in additional characteristics and bonus damage for hand strikes.
How the weapon works
The first ive feature of the spear allows you to immediately get a permanent 12-24% bonus to damage from an elemental skill. This part of the buff is active immediately after the weapon is given to the owner. In order to get an additional increase in damage, any ally, except the owner of the spear, must use an elemental skill. Then the second buff will be applied, also equal to a value of 12-24%.
Since using E-s is an integral part of any team's rotation in the game, the spear does not force you to adjust your usual rotation because of it and does not require much attention to itself.
Let's take a closer look at the rotation for playing with Mountain-Braising Thorn:
- Be sure to use any ally's elemental skill in the rotation before switching to the weapon wielder.
- Upon entering the field, the hero equipped with a spear will receive a double elemental skill damage buff for 8 sec.
- Use the hero's skill to implement the received buff to deal increased damage to the target.
- Continue rotating the squad until the weapon effect refreshes and repeat the cycle.
