Thousand Dazzling Suns in Genshin Impact is a legendary greatsword and Mavuiki's signature weapon. It's a great gun that suits many characters and can greatly enhance your damage dealers. In the guide, we will consider all the characteristics of the weapon and figure out which heroes should give it to.
How to get Thousand Dazzling Suns in Genshin Impact
The claymore can only be obtained by praying in the event weapon banner “Incarnation of the Deity”. The sword will first appear in the version 5.3 banner.
Main Stats of Thousand Dazzling Suns
- Rarity: 5 Stars
- Base Attack: 49.14-740.58
- Crit Chance: 2.4%-11.03%
Passive effect: When using E or the Ultimate, it causes a Scorching Radiance, increasing critical damage by 20-40% and attack power by 28-56% for 6 seconds. Occurs once every 10 seconds. When dealing elemental damage with a normal or charged attack, the hero extends the effect by 2 seconds, up to 6 seconds.
The effects are increased by 75% if the wearer is in the Night Spirit Blessing state. When the hero is out of the battlefield, the duration of the effect does not count down.
How to upgrade Thousand Dazzling Suns
The image below shows the amount of materials required for each level of ascension of the sword:
All you need is:
Blazing Sacrificial Heart materials are obtained from the Ancient Watchtower dungeon on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
Mysterious Source Axes/Shells/Cores are dropped by Mysterious Source Automatons of the Hunter-type. The maps below show all the locations where you can find these elite enemies.
Various fangs drop from Saurians of all species. They can be found almost everywhere on the mainland of Natlan.
Mysterious Spring Materials and Fangs can also be purchased from Paimon's Shop for Stardust and Glitter – the cost depends on the rarity of the material.
How to Awaken the Thousand Dazzling suns
To awaken the sword and improve its passive, you need to get a copy of it by knocking it out in the weapon banner.
Who to give the Thousand Dazzling Suns to
Pyro Archon's signature sword is a good all-rounder that can give your damage dealer a lot of crits and attack. It is great for both main DDs who spend a lot of time on the field, and for secondary damage dealers who deal damage “from the pocket” and play in packs with constant swaps. It will be an ideal option for Natlan players who can activate the Blessing of the Night Spirit. Below we will consider in detail what this weapon will give to each fighter.
| Character | Advantages |
|---|---|
Mavuika | The sword perfectly reveals the Pyro Archon as the main DD. After the ultimate, Mavuika deals huge damage with any attacks, and the signal will increase them several times. For the support DD role, the sword will be slightly less effective, since neither normal nor charged attacks are used in such a build, and you will receive less of its own damage. On the other hand, you will not have to extend the duration of the Scorching Radiance: when it goes “into the pocket”, its duration is not counted. |
Kinich | Another hero who can receive an increased bonus by activating the Blessing of the Night Spirit. The sword's parameters will make it easier to balance stats, allowing you to pay more attention to VE in artifacts. Finally, increasing crits and ATK with normal attacks will allow you to deal more damage with Scalebreaker. |
Diluc | A good sword for Diluc, capable of increasing the damage of his infusion attacks after the elemental explosion. |
Navia | Claymore synergizes well with Navia's abilities, who actively uses all types of combat skills. |
Dehya | Thousand Blinding Suns is similar in stats to Dehya's signature, Reed Sea Lighthouse, having crits in the substat and an attack bonus after using E. If you didn't manage to knock out the Lighthouse during the Lioness banner, Mavuiki's signature will be a good alternative, although you will have to gain HP in artifacts. |
For other two-handers, this claymore can be given as a good stick for crits and attack. This also applies to heroes like Itto, whose damage scales not from attack power, but, for example, from defense: an increase in crits will be useful, but the necessary stats will have to be gained in artifacts.
How to play with Thousand Blinding Suns
Claymore does not require any special actions or strict adherence to certain rotations, so the style of play with it is quite simple:
- Activate the skills of supports and support DD.
- Switching to the damager, press E/ultimate.
- Hit with normal/charged attacks, prolonging Scorching Radiance.
If the claymore carrier is a secondary damager, it is enough to use his skill/elemental explosion, activating bonuses, and switch to the next character.
