Silvershower Heartstrings in Genshin Impact: how to get and who to give to

Contents

The latest update 4.7 brought Genshin Impact two new legendary weapons. The first was Absolution – Clorinda’s personal one-handed sword – we have already managed to disassemble it. In this guide we will look at the second weapon, signature Sijvin's Onion - “Heartstrings of Rain”, namely: how to get it, upgrade it and awaken it, and also who to give it to.

How to get Silvershower Heartstrings

“Heartstrings of Rain” is a limited-time 5-star weapon, meaning that it will only be available for a limited period of time.

This Onion can be obtained in the second phase of update 4.7, that is from June 25, 2024 to July 16, 2024, only from the weapons banner.

Characteristics of the weapon “Heartstrings of Rain”

Rarity: 5 stars
Basic attack: 44 (1 level) – 542 (90 level)
HP Bonus: 14.4% – 66.1%

The bow’s passive ability “Heartstrings of Rain” works like this: a character equipped with this bow gains the ability to accumulate up to 3 levels of the Blessing effect. The first level is given for 25 seconds after using an elemental skill. The second level is activated for 25 seconds after increasing life debt. The last third level of Blessing is given for 20 seconds after healing any other characters. The health of the owner of a bow with 1/2/3 levels of Blessing increases by 12%/24%/40%.

In addition to all of the above, when a character accumulates 3 stacks of Blessing, his chance of a critical hit with an ultimate increases by 28%, but as soon as the levels drop below three, the buff on the critical chance will disappear within 4 seconds.

How to awaken the “Heart strings of rain”

By awakening a weapon in Genshnin Impact, we improve some of its passive ability stats. All weapons, except limited event ones, require a copy of themselves to be able to awaken; “Heartstrings of Rain” was no exception to the Contest Rules. To fully awaken the bow to the fifth level, we will need four duplicates and 30,000 mora.

From the image you can see that the HP bonus from Blessing levels increases according to the following rule: 12%/24%/40% // 15%/30%50% // 18%/36/60% // 21%/42%/ 70% // 24%/48%/80%. The chance of a critical hit with an ultimate increases by 28% / 35% 42% / 49% / 56%. Simply put, by awakening the “Heartstrings of Rain” Onion to level 5, we increase its characteristics by exactly 2 times, which is quite a lot.

What kind of heroes would “Heartstrings of Rain” be suitable for?

In the current update Genshin Impact 4.7, “Heartstrings of Rain” can only be fully revealed by their owner, that is, Sijwin. She is the only archer capable of applying the life debt debuff to herself, which is required to activate the second level of the weapon's passive ability. However, the Onion can be used as an interesting plug on other heroes who would benefit from an increase in health. We will talk in detail about all these heroes and heroes.

Character	Advantages
Sijwin	The most ideal option for Sijwin, it was precisely for her mechanics that the “Heartstrings of Rain” Onion was created. With her skills, she is able to activate all three levels of a weapon's passive skill. She gains the first level simply by using an elemental skill. The second level is given for increasing the life debt that Sidzhvin imposes on himself by creating “Drops of Source” when pressing Eshka. When the heroine heals allies with her drop, she activates the third level.
Yelan	All of Yelan abilities are tied to her maximum HP. Ultimate, elemental skill, and even “Charged Attack” deal more damage as max health increases. Therefore, if you have Yelan, but do not have her signature weapon “Aqua Simulacra”, then “Heart Strings of Rain” will be an excellent option, especially during awakenings.
Diona	This Onion may also suit Diona. Her Noelle: Protector directly depends on the maximum amount of HP, and as you know, the weapon in question gives an increase to this stat.

How to Use Heartstrings of Rain Effectively

Although the text describing the bow's passive ability is quite large, in fact the principle of operation is very simple, but requires the presence of a very important life debt debuff. Currently, the only archer who can apply this effect to herself is Sidzhvin, so let’s look at how to properly use a Onion on her.

Since the Onion requires activation of three levels, the rotation consists of several parts. To begin with, we use the elemental skill and immediately get the first stack. The second stack is given for “Source Drops”, which appear from using the Eshka. As soon as we heal our allies with these drops, we receive a third stack and additionally increase our maximum health by 40%. When all levels of Blessing have subsided, we repeat the cycle.
