In Genshin ImpactLegendary ranged weapon “Chronicles of Dawn” – the second sign of Anemo Archon, combining high base attack, bonus to crit. damage and a passive that enhances abilities both when playing from the pocket and during active attacks on the field. The effect requires rhythmic hits on enemies, but with proper rotation it gives a noticeable increase in damage, which is easier to implement in Sabbat units. In this guide, we will look at how the weapon is pumped up and works, which heroes it is suitable for and how it is implemented on the archer equipped with it.

Bow stats

- Rarity: 5★.
- BA: 47-674.
- Add. parameter: % Crit damage (9.6%-44%).
We will describe the operation of the passive “Song of Dawn Glimpses (all highlighted numeric values depend on the awakening level): a hero armed with a bow activates the “Waving Morning Wind” effect, in which, 3 seconds after going into reserve, attacks from the hand, E-shka and the owner’s ultimate receive a bufffrom 60 to 120%damage. As soon as the hero returns from the pocket, the bonus begins to decrease by 10 to 20%every second until it goes to zero. Hitting an enemy with a normal, E-shock or Q-shock again activates the acceleration of the buff for the attacking skill by a valuefrom 10 to 20% – up to60-120%. The effect has a cooldown of 0.1 seconds. separately for each skill and works from the pocket.
If there are 2 Sabbat heroes in the team, then hits do not divide the damage bonus between types of skills – each increases the overall buff of all three types of skills by from 20 to 40%.

How to awaken the Chronicles of Dawn
The peak effectiveness of the Chronicles of Dawn is achieved at maximum awakening – this is a standard requirement for weapons of any rarity. To boost the power of the bow, you will have toknock out 5 spearsfrom the gacha and combine them into one. Each level of awakening increases the percentage values of the passive and makes all damage bonuses noticeably higher. The growth dynamics can be seen in the screenshot above.
Gameplay of the Chronicles of Dawn bow
The gameplay of Chronicles of Dawn is built around the dynamics of accumulating buffs related to the activity and type of attacks of the carrier. It is important not only whether the hero plays on the field or from the pocket, but also what skills he attacks with, because the damage bonus is calculated separately for auto-attack, E-shki and ult.
Using a bow becomes noticeably easier with activeSabbath resonance, which turns on when there are two representatives of this faction in the squad: Venti, Klee, Albedo, Mona, Fischl, Sucrose, Razor or Durin. With active Witchcraft, the acceleration of the passive is simplified: now hitting enemies increases the entire range of damage at once, and not a separate type.
Basic rotation with Chronicles of Dawn looks like this:
- Start the battle with the skills of supports and applicators to impose statuses;
- Switch to the owner of the bow: if it is a sub-dd/support hero, press the ability and immediately go into the pocket, and if it is a main-dd, work out the hero’s usual rotation with normals, E-shock or ult (in this case, it is advisable to have an active coven resonance);
- If the owner of the bow was a support hero, return to the main-dd, complete the cycle of attacks and return to the beginning rotation;
Which characters to use Chronicles of Dawn
The bow is designed for heroes playing either as active shooters with fast normal attacks, or as stable pocket damage dealers. Buffs are based on the frequency of hits, so prolonged downtime on the field gradually weakens the boosts received by the wearer, whichis not suitable for archers with gameplay from charged shots. This pace is easily compensated if there are two representatives of the Sabbat in the group and Witchcraft is triggered: then the weapon works more stable and is suitable for both main and secondary damage dealers.
Below are the heroes who most fully reveal the potential of the Chronicles of Dawn:
Venti | Anemo Archon received this bow as a new signature. Now, with the active resonance of the Sabbat, his updated abilities will be able to calmly build up the decreasing buff with a series of regular shots under the ultimate, and the passive strengthening of the bow itself will not be tied to a strict choice of attacking skills. |
| Main-dd | |
Eimiya | Plays almost entirely with auto-attacks, and the high rate of fire perfectly matches the timing of stack updates. Receives a useful crit boost for his role. damage and attack power. In a team with two Sabbat representatives, he receives a full set of stable buffs. |
Tartaglia | The benefits are similar to what Eimiya receives from the bow, however, a separate bonus for the ult, due to the specifics of the Harbinger's rotation, is unlikely to last until the second procast. |
| Sub-dd | |
Ye Lan | Ye Lan's new bow is also suitable, but with reservations. It does not increase the heroine’s HP, therefore it is weaker than the signature Aqua simulacrum. For the second part of the passive, two allies from the Sabbat are needed, and the heroine herself requires a careful balance of recovery. Бонусы к ульте и Е-шке сглаживают минусы, но при открытом С1 лук почти не раскрывается, так как удвоенный элем. the skill increases the time spent on the field, which disrupts the rhythm of maintaining stacks. |
Fischl | Pairs well with the bow at C6 and is itself part of the Sabbat Resonance Activation. If the number of constellations is incomplete, a nuance appears: casting Q-shki for too long, not supported by Oz’s pokes, can disrupt the maintenance of the bonus, so you will have to select a more dynamic squad rotation. |
Comparison of Elegy of Perdition and Chronicle of Dawn for Venti
Elegy of Perdition, Anemo Archon's previous signature, remains a classic for most Venti squads. Its bonus to VE allows you to spam the ult on cooldown, and the passive is fully revealed without its presence on the field, while increasing MS and attack power for allies. For Venti, who in modern rotations often plays the role of support/debuffer, this is still a simple, reliable and stable option.
You can learn more about Elegy of Perdition in our separate guide.
Chronicles of Dawn— his new sign — is designed for the role of a damage dealer in Sabbat squads. Bow increases crit. damage and distributes buffs that are revealed through the updated gameplay of Venti: with active resonance, it stably supports damage bonuses with regular shots under the ult, and also prolongs the ability itself. The bow increases Venti's personal damage, but requires careful rhythm and is fully revealed only with active Witchcraft.
To summarize:
- Elegyis better in classic support setups, where Venti is needed as a battery + reaction buffer. It works on its own, increases the damage of the entire team and does not require special conditions;
- Chronicles of the Dawnis the best option if Venti plays a hybrid main or sub-dead player in Sabbat squads and is on the field more than usual. The bow provides higher personal damage, but requires attention to assembly and rotation.
Both bows are strong, but perform different tasks. Therefore, your choice will depend on what role in the squad you want to assign to the Bard.
