🔥 Hold onto your Primogems, travelers! As we count down to July 30th, I'm vibrating with hype over Version 5.8's weapon reveals. That new Fractured Halo polearm? chef's kiss It’s like HoYoverse reached into my Electro-dreams and forged this beauty just for Ineffa. And don’t get me started on the free event Claymore – Flame-Forged Insight might just become my new comfort weapon. Seriously, these additions aren’t just stat sticks; they’re game-changers riding the Nod-Krai hype train!
⚡ Ineffa’s Electro Symphony
When leaks hinted at an Electro polearm queen from Nod-Krai, I prayed she’d be more than another DPS placeholder. Holy Archons, she’s delivering! Fractured Halo’s design screams ‘celestial executioner’ – 608 Base ATK and 66.2% Crit DMG had my wallet sweating before I even saw the passive. That ‘Purifying Crown’ effect? Absolute madness! After testing simulations, triggering that 24% ATK boost + 40% Lunar-Charged party buff feels like conducting a lightning orchestra.
Personal take? This weapon breathes. When the shield activates, those crackling purple effects whisper: "Go on, delete that Hilichurl." I’m already rebuilding my Keqing as sub-DPS just to ride Ineffa’s coattails!
🔥 Free Claymore That Slaps
Let’s chat Flame-Forged Insight – the event weapon that’s low-key broken for F2P players. 510 ATK + 165 EM is nice, but ‘Mind in Bloom’? Bruh.

Restores 12 Energy 🌊

Gives 60 EM boost 💡
-
Triggers off-field?!
This baby turns Kaveh into a Bloom machine gun! I did a Hydro/Electro test run with Beidou, and watching Energy refill like a soda fountain had me cackling. HoYoverse really said: "Here’s dessert before Nod-Krai’s main course."
🌙 Lunar-Charged: The Reaction That Eats Meta
Remember Dendro’s 3.0 shake-up? Lunar-Charged is THAT girl now. Requires ‘Moonsign Benediction’? Fine. But picture this: Hydro-slapped enemies + Electro = THUNDERCLOUDS OF DOOM. During beta trials, that swirling violet tempest felt alive – like a hungry storm pup chasing enemies.
Reaction | Trigger | Effect |
---|---|---|
Lunar-Charged | Electro + Hydro (w/ Moonsign) | AoE Electro DMG Cloud |
Electro-Charged | Electro + Hydro | Chain DOT |
Overloaded | Electro + Pyro | Explosion |
Subjectively? It’s Dendro 2.0 with extra ✨drama✨. My Cyno team’s about to get spicy!
⛰️ Nod-Krai’s Whispering Winds
Between Fatui teases and Frostmoon Scions lore, these weapons feel like golden tickets to Genshin’s next wonderland. That web event showing Hiisi Island? [Insert dreamy sigh] Imagine Fractured Halo’s glow against Nod-Krai’s auroras!
Yet... something nags me. With Alice lurking and Columbina’s schemes, are these weapons just shiny bait before a Fatui ambush? Will Lunar-Charged make Vape/Melt teams sob into their artifacts?
Final thought: When thunderclouds gather over Teyvat this July... whose meta will survive the storm? 😏
