Who is suitable for the sword Glitter of Still Waters?

The one-handed sword is a strong equipment for damage dealers who rely on elemental skill. The passive effect depends on the HP dynamics of the owner or the squad, so a healer is required in a team with it. Since the one-hander is endowed with a high stat value, it will be an excellent addition to the main-dead build through critical damage.

The weapon is ideal only for Furina, who will be able to realize all the bonuses with any squads and rotations. The rest of the heroes only need a certain part of the passive effect.

The sword Glitter of Still Waters is suitable for the following characters:

Character	Features
Furina	Capable of unleashing the sword's maximum potential using the mechanics of her elemental skill. Depending on the type, Arche summons guests of the Lonely Hearts Salon or Stream Singers. Invited guests spend the party's HP to increase their damage, and singers restore the characters' health. Regardless of Arche type, Furina activates both parts of the sword's passive effect and is able to maintain buff levels without even being on the field.
Nilou	Get the most out of the sword in alternative or hybrid assembly, not through Budding. The heroine is most often paired with a healer, so the requirements of the passive effect are not difficult to fulfill. The first part of the sword's passive will work because after using the ability it enters a state where normal hits are considered elemental skill damage. The second part is also important for Neelu, since the damage of her skills scales from HP.
Alhaitham	Can be equipped if there is no signature "Light of the Leaf Cut". The brilliance of still waters suits the character, since in battle he actively deals damage with the help of “Mirrors of Light”. If the passive effect is successfully activated, the damage of each Mirror will increase, regardless of elemental mastery points and attack power. Unlike the signature sword, it increases the damage of only the elemental skill, so it is much inferior to it in terms of damage, but shows itself to be better than the alternatives.
Chiori	A good option for Tiori as a pocket damage dealer if she plays with Furina or healers who can heal inactive characters. Will give a lot of crit. damage, but increasing HP is useless for the craftswoman.

One-armed can be equipped on other main DDs (Ayaka, Kaeya, Kazuha in a critical build) to balance the characteristics, but the sword works much worse on them. Let us separately highlight the heroes for whom it is better not to use the Glitter of Still Waters:

• У Ayato, although he enters a strengthened state using an elemental skill, his damage is considered normal hits. In addition, the hero’s damage does not greatly depend on health, and the sword does not provide a stable increase in this characteristic. The same goes for Keqing, whose elemental infusion has nothing to do with the damage from the ability.
• Although the sword increases HP from the second part of the passive, it will not give anything other than a small increase in health, layle, Kirare и Kuki. They will not justify such an expensive investment in them with their damage, so there is no point in purposefully knocking out this one-armed weapon for them.

How does the sword Shine of Still Waters work?

Only a hero with a bias in damage from of the skill. A healer must be paired with him if the wearer himself does not have the mechanics of changing HP. For the second part of the passive, it is also worth considering that the healer must be able to heal the entire team with his skills, and not just the active character.

The passive effect activates when the wearer or team receives damage and healing, so it is not advisable to use shielders in teams with such a sword. A character equipped with this weapon must actively take damage in order to accumulate all levels of the ability and play with maximum buffs, or be able to independently increase and decrease HP.

An example of rotation when playing with Glitter of Still Waters on Furine:

1. Activate all support buffs, preparing to deal damage.
2. Switch to Furina, enable her elemental burst and elemental skill. Helpers from the E-shki will automatically “eat” part of the HP, activating both parts of the passive ability. By default its arche is Ousia, so if necessary, switch energy through a charged attack if you need healing further.
3. Use the skills of the main damage dealer. Since the sword's effects are triggered from the pocket, Furina's damage will not be reduced.
4. After completing the enhancements, repeat from step 1.

Playing with the sparkle of still waters on other heroes, stick to the following rotation:

1. Make sure that the sword owner is at low health, for example, take damage and “hide” the hero in his pocket.
2. Use all sub-dead and support skills, starting with the longest ones.
3. Use healing before switching to the main damage dealer.
4. Bring your main DD out onto the field and attack while all buffs and healing are active.
5. Before repeating the rotation, reduce the main damage dealer's HP to start with the healing boost.
