Who can use the Staff of the Scarlet Sands in Genshin Impact
The spear has a low base attack, but has a critical chance in the main stat, and thanks to the passive talent at the peak of the stacks, increases ATK by 136% (on the 1st awakening). However, it is important to note that the resulting gain depends on mastery of the elements. Therefore, when choosing a spear carrier, we advise you to give preference to heroes who are best revealed in the game from reactions and, accordingly, are collected through the MC, and also have a fast elemental skill recharge. The role in the squad varies from the main damage dealer to the secondary damage dealer.
The Staff of the Scarlet Sands is best suited for the following characters:
- Cyno. The spear is his signature weapons, so all bonuses are designed specifically for this character. In addition, abilities and talents lead to an increase in elemental mastery and play from reactions, and the growing critical damage when the hero ascends allows you to balance with the main stat of the spear.
- Candace. Top 3 weapons among the legendary for the main damage role, but also suitable for a secondary damage dealer. In particular, it reveals itself well when playing through Budding or steam. Since in the first case, mastery of the elements is necessary (on which the damage of the weapon also depends), and in the second case, both crits (the main stat) are important, and MC will not be superfluous.
- Xiangling. Often the character is used in units that play from elemental interactions, and is going to mastery, which will not only increase his own damage, but also increase the damage from reactions. In addition, the elemental skill (Goba) is passively on the battlefield and deals periodic damage, which also gives a stable up to 3 stacks of passive effect.
- Thoma. If he takes a position burst support as a reactor, the Staff of the Scarlet Sands will be one of the best options after Khoma и Engulfing Lightning. Especially, it is well revealed in the presence of C1, as it allows you to activate the elemental skill more often. But in general, this option is not the best for him, since he will not often close the reaction.
- Rosary. Fast reloading of the E-shki (6 sec.), periodic damage from the ult and a high increase in crit. chance - all this will make the heroine effective as a secondary damage dealer in teams playing from elemental reactions.
- Hu Tao. Acceptable alternative for lack of Staff of Homa. The damage of this heroine depends not only on the HP value, but also on the elemental mastery indicator when playing in teams and on the reaction of Steam. Therefore, she will be able to realize the passive ability of the weapon, even if she does not get much from the increase in attack. Thanks to the high critical value. chance to balance stats will become much easier.
- Raiden. Due to the ticks of the E-shka ring, she will be able to maintain stacks of weapon passives, but with this spear it becomes more difficult for her to select stats. She does not receive the necessary energy restoration, and elemental mastery along with crits is only relevant for her in commands from Stimulation. An extremely situational option for Electro-Dendro units, which will perform well only with a very good balance of artifact stats.
Of the characters to whom it is undesirable to give this weapon, we can distinguish:
- Xiao. It doesn't play from elemental mastery, so it won't get much buff from the spear's passive ability. The base attack of this weapon is quite low, while Xiao needs this stat very much, because thanks to his passive talent he has his own damage affixes. Even crit. chance in weapons, although it is usually a very powerful buff of the hero, in his case it will not be of much use: Xiao's "innate" stat, which increases with elevation - just crit. chance. He doesn't need that much from a weapon, and this spear won't solve problems with crit balance.
- Shenhe. Her allies buff depends on her attack value, and she has no need for an elemental mastery stat. Her damage is small, so there is not much point in trying to collect her in strong crits.
- Zhongli. Since he is a Geo character with no synergy with elemental mastery, and his shield scales come from HP, this spear will be one of the worst options for him.
How to play with the Staff of the Scarlet Sands
The main bonus is given without any conditions and depends only mastery of the elements carrier. But, in order to use the spear to the maximum of its capabilities, it is necessary:
- Hit with elemental skill by opponents, at least 3 times in a row to get the maximum number of stacks. At this point, the hero may be out of the battlefield.
- Use elemental reactions. Since the weapon gives a bonus depending on the MC, in builds from reactions it will reveal itself best.
- Equip characters that can increase elemental mastery, such as sucrose, Dion C6, Collei С4 or Dendro Traveler. If necessary, any support can wear a set Instructor.

Raiden perfectly supports all three stacks from the eshka, the staff takes into account her joint attacks. Another thing is that the database is small, so you will also have to collect ms.
Hello! Thanks for the note, it's been corrected.
A small correction, this spear can climb on the bud Raiden quite well. On hypercarry, yes, it doesn’t rise at all.
Does MS from Nahida's ult count towards the spear?
btv pouring ms from sucrose is not counted by the spear
It is taken into account, but only a flat fill. The spear really ignores the percentage bonus, but it is not yet clear what this is connected with: a bug that will be fixed, or it was originally intended)
Na Hu Tao Which is better? Jade Kite or Staff of the Scarlet Sands?
Both spears on it are approximately equal. If you already have one of them, then you should not spend primogems to get another: there will be no significant strengthening of the heroine.
And if there is neither one nor the other, then it is better to accumulate twists on a signal for Hu Tao, which will be much stronger than these two options.
I wouldn’t say, the signa saino can overtake the staff of homa if there are enough ms and a well-assembled pack that will pour ms, it has already been calculated from the tables that the signal saino in this case overtakes homa by 10 damage
In terms of account economics, Homa is a more versatile spear that can suit many characters and does not depend on a pack.
And for Hu Tao, Homa will certainly be more effective. The question is about Hu Tao, not Cyno
