Who can use Harbinger of Dawn in Genshin Impact
The the sword has significant drawbacks in the form low base damage и hard working conditions of the passive, which greatly narrows the circle of suitable characters. On the other hand, it boosts both Crit Power and Crit Chance at the same time, which can be very useful for damage dealing heroes. The passive, which in turn requires maintaining above 90% health in order to work, reduces the circle of characters to support dd roles.
Consider the heroes that Harbinger of Dawn will benefit from:
- Albedo - just the perfect character for this weapon. The low base attack of the sword does not affect the damage of his elemental skill in any way. In addition, Albedo himself rarely appears on the battlefield, only for a short period of time, without actually risking his health.
- Chiori – the sword works on her in much the same way as on Albedo. For a sub-DD role, this is one of the best free options, but for a main-DD role, the weapon is not suitable, since a low basic attack will affect hand strikes, and it is difficult to maintain the work of the passive in such conditions.
- Zibai – the best F2P option, but requires Geo Archon Zhongli in the team.
- Alhaitham - with full awakening is a very strong weapon, because it provides a large increase in crits. At the same time, low basic attack is not so critical for Dendro characters, since they focus more on elemental mastery. If using this sword, a shield or healer is desirable in the squad to maintain the passive effect.
- Xingqiu - character skills are affected by attack power and the low base damage of the sword is quite unpleasant, but the crit power and crit chance are quite useful. In addition, Xingqiu enters the battlefield only to activate his skills, which fits the condition of the Harbinger of Dawn passive.
- Kaeya – He has the same situation as Xingqiu.
- Layla - since the heroine is most often inactive, she will rarely lose HP below the allowable one. Crits will be useful for her in a damage build, however, there may be an issue with attack power.
- Nilou - the weapon will increase its own damage with a non-standard assembly of the heroine (through crits). However, if the sword is used in a team through Budding, then the damage will not increase in any way.
- Clorinde – the sword can be used in the early stages of the game if there is a shield member in the team. However, high attack is no less important for her than crits, so it is recommended to find an alternative at the first opportunity.
- Alv Vesna – It's best used in groups with either Diona or two healers to maintain consistent health. A single healer is sufficient for survivability, but won't be able to keep health above 90%.
How to play with the Harbinger of Dawn
The passive effect of this sword works constantly, as long as while the character's health is over 90%. When playing with him, you should be more careful and try to switch to the character don't get hit, since this can disable the passive of the sword and the weapon will lose half of its power.
Undoubtedly Albedo is best candidate for this sword. The low base damage of the Harbinger of Dawn is not a particular problem for the character, and the gameplay for him only involves the installation of an elemental skill, after which he swaps with other members of the group.
For Xingqiu and Keiyi, this sword is more of a temporary solutionthan a permanent weapon, since the skills of these characters depend on Attack Power.

Will it fit for Kazuhi?
Oh, let's try it on albedo. But wouldn't the cinnabar spindle p3 be better? After all, it "signals" it.
so yes, cinnabar is better, but... why only T3?
Because last time I didn't want to complete all the event tasks... that's how sad.
If you focus on critical damage with a harbinger and achieve >200% critical damage + normal defense (1600-1800 units), then it will be equal to Cinnabar or even better in damage.
Will it work on Keqing? It's just that we have a shielder on our team, and his crit damage is really bad. He has 300 less attack power than Lion's Roar, but he crits in spades. Lion's Roar doesn't have any awakenings, so which is better overall?
If his crits are okay, but the roar is a disaster, then the shield will do. But it's better to focus on crits.
I have Keqing with Harbinger, 5 awakenings, level 70, and crits totaled 49/245, also attacks 1700
I put it on Kaeya and I'm fine. It's a perfect F2P sword, and you can get some ATK and ART.
What does it mean if HP is above 90%?
The character's health is over 90%. For example, if HP is 10,000, the bonus applies if health is 9001 or higher. In general, for the weapon bonus to work, you need to monitor your health and try to avoid taking damage or heal immediately.
