Good for Stellar Glimmer Characters

The New Bough works well on characters who can consistently enter its Radiance state, allowing them to fully capitalize on its ATK buffs and Stellar Glimmer Reaction DMG bonuses.

Versatile Stat Stick for Any DPS

Even outside of Stellar Reaction teams, the weapon serves as an exceptional option for Sword DPS and Sub-DPS units. Its massive 55.1% CRIT DMG secondary stat, paired with accessible on-field and off-field ATK and Elemental Mastery buffs, makes it a powerful, flexible addition to almost any damage dealers.
