Who is Genshin Impact's Leaf Cut Light for?
Despite the low base attack, the weapon gives a high increase in critical damage in the form of 88,2% and passively increases the chance of crit. hit by 4% (R1). This makes it easier to balance stats and makes Light of Foliar Incision a great option for main dps.
The sword also has an important condition: the passive ability only works on characters whose normal attacks deal elemental damage, that is, endowed with infusion. At the same time, the increase in damage is affected by EM owner. Therefore, only heroes who gather through MC and play through reactions will be able to use the weapon effect to the fullest.
The Light of Leaf Slash is best for the following characters:
| Character | Features |
|---|---|
 | An ideal sword bearer, as he can get the most out of it. An elemental skill infuses al-Haytham Dendro's normal attacks with an infusion, allowing him to permanently activate a passive effect. In addition, the damage of his abilities depends on the mastery of the elements, as well as the main weapon buff. The character is aimed at the game through reactions, while taking the position of the main damage dealer, which fully corresponds to all the conditions of the weapon. |
 | Her attacks have Geo infusion, so she'll easily fulfill the requirement. It's still best to use the clock for defense, and boost your MS with sets. Serenades of the Silk Moon и Instructors on the Allies. |
 | Also receives an infusion after using an elemental skill thanks to the Celestial Repentance talent. This allows her to activate a passive effect to deal additional damage from normal attacks. The sword will show itself most effectively in a squad through Stimulation (Dendro + Electro), where Keqing needs to collect elemental mastery to increase the damage from the Aggravate reaction. |
 | The elemental skill gives the character's attacks Hydro infusion, so the passive effect is easily implemented. Although MC is not a key stat for this hero, in builds where he takes the position of a reactor, that is, causes a reaction (for example, to create Steam or Bud), this characteristic becomes no less important. As a weapon to increase the damage of normal attacks in builds through reactions, the Light of Foliar Incision can be just as good on it as Haran Geppaku Futsu . |
 | Receives a Cryo Infusion after sprinting, allowing you to activate the passive effect of the sword at any time and receive additional damage for normal attacks and elemental skills. In addition, the high percentage of critical damage is in perfect harmony with her gameplay, since for Freeze this stat is more important than crit. chance. However, Ayaka usually doesn't collect a lot of elemental mastery, while low basic attack is critical for her, so the overall DPS gain becomes minimal. All this makes the sword an extremely situational option. |
We will also highlight several other heroes on which this weapon can be used under certain conditions:
- Clorinde. The sword will reveal itself when used in Dendro commands, where the mastery of the elements can realize itself. However, due to its low base attack, it needs a buffer on this stat to compensate for the imbalance in its characteristics.
- Bennett. Suitable for a main-dd build with the sixth constellation activated. However, for the support role, the weapon will play even some 4⭐️ options due to the low base attack.
- Kazuha. The hero will not be able to fully use the passive ability without C6, as he only receives infusion for falling attacks. But thanks to the large number of crits, the one-handed one will still show itself well in Kazuha's crit build and enhance his elemental skill.
- Pyro Traveler. The weapon can be given to this character provided that C6 is open and the game is in Dendro squads through Burning or Blooming, since only in this case the Traveler needs mastery of the elements. In other cases, the hero will only get a lot of crit damage and crit chance from the sword.
How Foliar Cut Light works
The first part of the passive, which grants a bonus to Critical Hit Chance, always works. However, in order to increase the damage from auto-attacks and the elemental skill, it is required to start the battle by using regular strikesendowed with infusion (element).
In order to maximize the sword Light of the Leaf Cut, the following rotation is recommended:
- Apply abilities or perform actions that fill the character's weapon infusion (in case of al-Haytham is the activation of the E-shki).
- Deal damage to enemies with normal attack, with the elemental to activate the passive effect of the sword.
- Use an elemental skill or keep attacking for 12 seconds while the buff is active. Also, the effect disappears after landing 16 hits on the 1st awakening.
- Repeat starting from step 1.
It is worth remembering that the cumulative DPS depends on EM equipped character. Therefore, at the beginning of the rotation, it is desirable to increase this characteristic with the help of abilities / passives / constellations of supports or sup-dds:
Additionally, MS can be obtained from artifacts and weapons (on other members of the squad):
- Seth Instructor.
- Catalyst A Thousand Floating Dreams.
- Luka Elegy for the End.
- Claymore Forest Regalia.
- Sword Sapwood Blade.
Also, the elemental resonance between the characters Dendro + Dendro - gives 50 MS.
Is the Character Worth Pulling?
The Light of Foliar Incision is an extremely strong weapon in terms of the amount of crit. chance and crit. damage, but the passive ability is too situational and specific for the sword to be useful for the account as a whole. Ideally it fits only Alhaitham, of which it is a sign, and for other characters it is often easy to find more suitable options even among epic weapons.
