Who is eligible for Absolution in Genshin Impact?

The sword is suitable for any damage dealers who play from mechanics Life debt and use attack power и Crete. damage as the main characteristics. In contrast from the Arlecchino signature, Absolution does not apply a debuff to the wearer on its own. Therefore, only Clorinda fits all conditions, since she acquires the desired effect thanks to her elemental skill and explosion of elements.

The only situations in which you can effectively use the sword for other characters are battles with Servant. During the battle, they impose Life Debt on the hero, due to which the ive effect of the weapon will work. However, this is too rare a scenario to be worth knocking out a sword for, so if you get Absolution by accident, then equip it on any one-handed damage dealer who doesn't already have their 5 ⭐ weapon. It is better to choose from the characters in the table below.

How the weapon works

The “Death Pact” ive will be revealed to its maximum only if the active hero has Life Debt. If the effect is applied once, the character's damage increases by 1% for 16 seconds. When applied again, up to 6 times, the damage increases to a maximum of 3% on 48 application.

In addition, the sword automatically, without reference to the Life Debt mechanics, increases crit. damage by 20% in excess of the numbers given by the additional characteristic. Due to this, any character, even one who does not have a debuff, will receive a significant increase in stats.

The weapon buff lasts 6 seconds, and Clorinda's elemental skill, which gives her Life Debt is 7.5, and has a cooldown of 16 seconds. Also, with an ult, the heroine automatically receives the necessary debuff and activates the effect of the sword. Using a healer on your team will help you gain stacks faster.

Clorinda receives Life Debt on her own, so the rotation when playing as her is as follows:

1. Use the ability of any healer on the field, for example, Furins.
2. Switch to Clorinda and use her Darkness Hunting skill.
3. During healing, the heroine will increase her Life Debt, thanks to which you will quickly gain all the stacks of the effect that increases damage.
4. When the skill ends, use the character's elemental burst to reapply Life Debt.
5. When the ult's effect ends, activate the heal again and repeat the procedure.

The full potential of the sword on other heroes can only be realized during the battle with Fatui Operatives:

1. During the battle, use standard combat tactics with the enemy.
2. If you are fighting with one enemy, then do not use healing when you receive Life Debt, otherwise the effect will quickly wear off. When fighting multiple Operatives, restore your health to get another debuff as quickly as possible.
3. This will allow you to activate the weapon's ive more than 1 time and increase damage by more than the standard 16%.
