Which heroes will benefit from Song of the Peak Patrol
Song of the Peak Patrol can be given to those one-handed swords whose abilities scale with defense (this will be indicated in the description of their talents). This sword also gives a good buff to the entire squad, which means its ability goes well with heroes in the support or sub-DD positions in squads. Below, we will take a closer look at several suitable characters.
| Character | Advantages |
|---|---|
Shilonen | For her, the Song of the Peak Patrol is a signature weapon. The sword's passive fits perfectly with the heroine's gameplay, in which she actively uses normal strikes and, if possible, attacks while falling, and her damage depends entirely on the defense value. The buff of elemental damage to allies will activate just as the girl leaves the field and will complement the reduced resistance to elements of enemies from Shilonen's talents. |
Albedo | While Albedo's most common builds are all about his own damage, this sword will allow him to additionally buff his allies without losing damage. The downside is that Peak Patrol Song will do almost nothing for the Alchemist's ultimate, except for the bonus to elemental damage. As for the rotation, the elemental skill should be activated after a couple of normal attacks so that the flower receives and records all the necessary buffs. |
Thiori | Since her abilities are quite similar to Albedo's talents, Tiori will get the same benefit from the sword: increased damage and buffing allies. The advantageous difference is that the weapon will also provide a boost to the heroine's ultimate. However, it is worth remembering the rotation. If you are not using Tiori's elemental skill in order to get Geo Infusion, then you should first perform normal attacks to activate the sword's passive, and only then press E and go to the pocket. |
How to play with Song of the Peak Patrol
First, it is worth noting that all heroes who are suitable for this sword will easily gain the amount of protection required for the squad to receive the maximum elemental bonus using the weapon itself and artifacts. The rotation will look like this:
- Activate the abilities of those heroes whose skills, according to the timing, should be used before the sword carrier enters the field. Usually, these include healers and shielders.
- Enter the field as the sword carrier. Activate all the necessary abilities and be sure to make two regular attacks to receive an elemental damage bonus for the entire squad. We briefly discussed the order in which to press the buttons in the previous section for each specific character.
- Switch to the main damage dealer to activate their abilities, or continue to deal damage with the sword carrier if they act as a driver on the field.
- Try to use two normal attacks with the carrier every 15 seconds to keep the buff active at all times.
That's all the useful information on the one-handed sword Peak Patrol Song in Genshin Impact. We hope that it will help you get and upgrade this weapon, as well as choose the best carrier for it.
