Genshin Impact Moonweaver’s Dawn Best Characters and How to Get
In Genshin Impact Version 6.0 “Luna I,” a new 4‑star sword called Moonweaver’s Dawn becomes available via a world quest chain. Because its passive boosts Elemental Burst damage (especially under certain energy thresholds), selecting the right characters matters a lot. In this article for Ultimategacha.com, we’ll walk you through best characters to pair with this sword, and exactly how to get it, with H2 headings and useful tables.
What is Moonweaver’s Dawn? (Overview & Stats)
Moonweaver’s Dawn is a 4‑star Sword quest reward in Genshin Impact (not from the gacha banners initially).
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | ★★★★ |
| Weapon Type | Sword |
| Max Base ATK (Lv. 90) | 565 |
| Secondary Stat | ATK % 27.6% |
| Passive (Secret Silver’s Testament) | Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 20% (refined up to 40%). If equipping character’s Max Energy ≤ 60/40, additional bonus (e.g. up to +56%). |
Because of that conditional bonus tied to the character’s Max Energy Capacity, the sword shines when used on burst‑heavy characters who either have low energy requirement or can stay below thresholds for extra buff.
Best Characters to Use Moonweaver’s Dawn
Not every sword user will benefit equally. Below is a suggested tiering of ideal candidates:
| Character | Why They Work | Notes / Caveats |
|---|---|---|
| Skirk | Her kit revolves around burst, and she may avoid needing a full 60 energy, making the conditional bonus easier to maintain. | Many players call it “fantastic for Skirk.” |
| Keqing | Keqing often uses powerful Elemental Burst, and her typical build may allow her to benefit from the base + bonus damage. | Some debate whether she always meets the energy threshold. |
| Ayaka (if she is sword user / future version) | Some community speculation lists her among possible fits. | |
| Clorinde | A 5‑star ATK‑scaling character that can use the burst bonus effectively. | |
| Kaeya / Jean / Bennett | These may use it as a “stat stick” if their burst is strong enough, though they may not always trigger the full conditional bonus. |
Important caveat: Some community feedback points out that only a few sword characters truly meet the low‑energy condition to unlock the maximum additional bonus (≤ 40 or ≤ 60). As one forum user put it:
“40 energy max or less? Literally Keqing, Albedo, and Skirk are the only ones who meet that condition…”
Thus, while Moonweaver’s Dawn has strong potential, its real value depends on pairing with the right character and build.
How to Get Moonweaver’s Dawn (Quest Guide)
Moonweaver’s Dawn is not a gacha reward (at first); it’s rewarded upon finishing a multi‑part world quest in Hiisi Island under the Polkka Beneath the Moon’s Oracle questline, culminating in Echoes of an Unfinished Past.
Steps / Highlights
- Complete all the prerequisite world quests in the Nod‑Krai / Hiisi Island region (quests 1–4).
- Unlock mechanism seals and ride Moonlanes, pull down pillars, enter Court of the First Edict.
- Interact with the small pool of water, listen to dialogues with NPC “Aila,” then the sword appears and you can pick it.
- Exit the area and finish dialogues to complete the quest and receive the Moonweaver’s Dawn.
Once you finish Echoes of an Unfinished Past, the sword is awarded as part of the quest rewards.
Rewards Summary
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Primogems | 50 |
| Mora | ~ 54,500 |
| Mystic Enhancement Ore / Hero’s Wit etc. | X (small amounts) |
Tips & Final Thoughts
- If you already have Moonweaver’s Dawn, reserve it for characters whose burst usage is frequent and whose energy max is low enough to exploit the conditional bonus.
- Even without fully meeting conditions, the base + conditional buff can place this sword on par with many 5‑star weapons for certain builds.
- Because it’s a quest reward, everyone can get this sword for free (no gacha pull required).
- Keep an eye on future patches: it’s possible this weapon might be added to the banner pool or reintroduced later.
