Sword of Narzissenkreuz in Genshin Impact: how to get it and who to give it to

Contents

In Genshin Impact The Sword of Narzissenkreuz is free 4 star sword, which you can get for completing a world quest. With its help, even characters whose god's eye comes from a region other than Fontaine will be able to deal damage pneuma and usii. In this guide, we will tell you how you can get this weapon and which heroes should be given it.

Where to get the Sword of Narzissenkreuz

At the moment, it is difficult to say exactly what conditions must be met to receive the sword. Most likely, it will automatically appear in your inventory upon completion of the quest chain "In the footsteps of Narcissus". Note that this sword exists in a single copy, so you will not be able to find copies of it and give it to different characters.

Main characteristics of the Sword of Narcissenkreutz

Rarity: 4 stars.
Base attack: 42–510.
Second stat: 9–41% attack power.

Passive ability : If the wearer does not possess his arche energy, then when he hits an enemy with his ordinary attacks, including charged ones and after falling, a charge of pneuma or ushii is released every 12 seconds, causing damage in the amount of 160–320% of the character's attack power. The type of energy depends on the current state of the sword.

How to upgrade the Sword of Narcissenkreutz

Next, you can see what materials you will need to spend on leveling up the sword to improve its basic characteristics.

Echoes of an ancient string are mined from the underground "Echoes of the Deep Tides" on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays.
Seneschal Insignia can be obtained from the corresponding Fatui Elite Unit.
Foreign Pearls fall from the Fontmere Aliens that live in the reservoirs of Fontaine.
In addition to the above materials, you will need 605 units of reinforcement ore and 755 thousand mora.

Alchemy and Paimon’s Bargains can help you get the missing materials.

How to awaken the Sword of Narcissenkreutz

Since there is only one copy of the sword, to improve its passive you will have to use special items “Shining Cups”. We will tell you how to get them later. Below you can see what bonuses this weapon provides at each awakening level.

Which heroes are suitable for the Sword of Narcissenkreutz?

The peculiarity of this weapon is that it gives virtually no bonuses to its bearer or his team, instead creating an additional source of damage in the form of arche energy. The role of a character with this sword in hand will largely be to release pneuma or ousia, which will paralyze enemies on the field.

In general, the Achievement: Hero can use this weapon under the following conditions:

He does not have his own arche energy. Characters with energy include those from Fontaine and hydro Traveler.
His basic skills scale with attack power. If the Achievement: Hero is a healer whose treatment depends on maximum HP, or a damage dealer who needs elemental mastery, then the Sword of Narcissenkreutz will become as useless as possible for him.

The ideal sword bearers will be Jean And Qiqi. Their healing depends on the attack power the sword provides, so they won't lose anything if they pick it up.

The following are heroes who can also use this sword. Note that in their case you will have to put more emphasis on searching energy recovery or bonuses to damage in the character’s artifacts so that he does not lose so much in damage.

Xingqiu. I wouldn't mind the extra attack power, but you'll have to get quite a lot of recovery from relics to get the ultimate on cooldown.
Kamisato Ayaka. With this sword, it will be important for her to place special emphasis on crits in artifacts, and also be sure to take a battery into the squad so that she can activate the ultimate more often.
Kamisato Ayato. Just like his sister, when playing with this sword he will have increased requirements for various bonuses that artifacts or his unit can give.
Kaeya. It will be a good carrier, since it will still be able to effectively inflict cryo status, but without Favonium in hand, it will become less useful for the squad in terms of pouring energy.
Anemo and Geo Traveler. The functionality and damage of the GG in these elements depends on the strength of the attack. With this sword in his hands, he will be able to bring even more benefit to the squad, paralyzing your opponents.

How to play with the Sword of Narcissenkreutz

To change the type of arche energy that the sword releases, you will need to dip it in a magical font. We will tell you about its location and operating principles after the release of version 4.2.

You will use the Sword of Narcissenkreutz in battles, most likely in the Abyss, against opponents under the influence of arche. Make sure that the type of sword is the opposite of the energy of your enemies so that you can paralyze them.

To activate the sword's passive, its bearer must leave his pocket every 12 seconds and hit the enemy with a normal attack. This is the only way to release the pneuma or ousia. Try to have the Achievement: Hero with this weapon in his hands in rotation in front of your main damage dealer, who is on the field most of the time. This way he will take less damage since the opponents will be harmless for a while.

We hope this guide helped you get this sword and you were able to find a suitable bearer for it.
