The Emberwell sword is a craftable weapon in Genshin Impact that provides a significant boost to Elemental Mastery, making it a potent free-to-play choice for characters who benefit from this stat, especially those in Stellar Glimmer teams. Players can acquire the Emberwell blueprint and craft the weapon at any Blacksmith.
To obtain Emberwell, players must first visit a Blacksmith in Snezhnaya and purchase the blueprint using 10 Red Beets, one Rainbowdrop Crystal, and one Rimecurrant. Once learned, the weapon can be forged using a Borderland Sword Billet, 50 White Iron Chunks, 50 Rainbowdrop Crystals, and 500 Mora. Crafting additional copies for weapon refinement requires the same materials for each subsequent copy.
Best Characters for Emberwell
Emberwell's stats and skills make it a versatile option for several characters. Its Elemental Mastery increase is particularly beneficial. When an Elemental Reaction is triggered, Emberwell grants an attack bonus and enhances Stellar Glimmer reaction damage, effects that persist even when the character is off-field.
Odette can benefit from Emberwell when used in double Electro teams or with Cyno, as it boosts her attack and Stellar Glimmer damage. However, it is less effective in Stellar Swirl teams. Alhaitham can utilize the Elemental Mastery and attack boosts, though it's not his optimal weapon. Keqing can also leverage Emberwell in Aggravate teams, where she frequently triggers Electro reactions, making it a good free-to-play alternative.
Kaedehara Kazuha can find Emberwell situationally useful if his build focuses on increasing Elemental Mastery, particularly in Stellar Swirl teams. However, weapons like Freedom-Sword, Xiphos' Moonlight, and Favonius Sword are generally considered safer choices for him.
Even characters not specifically tied to Stellar Glimmer teams can equip Emberwell for a direct increase in Elemental Mastery and attack. However, as an accessible free weapon, Emberwell is not typically considered a character's absolute best-in-slot option.
Crafting and Upgrade Materials
Upgrading Emberwell to its maximum level requires various materials and Mora. To reach level 20, players need two Ethereal Glimmershards, three Accreted Fragments, and three Rise of the Pale Star Armies, along with 5,000 Mora. Further upgrades to level 40 require eight Ethereal Glimmershards, 12 Accreted Fragments, three Muster of the Pale Star Armies, and 15,000 Mora. Subsequent ascensions demand Ethereal Crystals, Ethereal Crystalscale Stones, Accreted Masses, Accreted Growths, and Clarion and Triumph of the Pale Star Armies, accumulating to 150,000 Mora in total for a fully upgraded weapon.
