This high base attack sword promises strong synergy with her kit, but is it worth your precious pulls, especially as a F2P or low spender? In this analysis, we break down the stats, passives, gameplay fit, alternatives, and pull recommendations based on the latest official info.
Main Stats Breakdown
Everbright Polestar boasts impressive level 90 stats:
- Base ATK: 588
- Substat: 24.3% Crit DMG
These numbers make it a premium choice for a main DPS like Aemeath, who relies on bursty Resonance Liberation damage. The high base ATK scales well with her Fusion damage output, while the Crit DMG substat complements her kit's design.
Aemeath's BiS echo set, Trailblazing Star, provides 20% Crit Rate via its 5-piece effect (triggered by applying Fusion Burst or Tune Rupture-Shifting). Combined with Crit Rate likely on her skill tree (following the post-2.0 trend for most DPS), players can easily hit 70-90% total Crit Rate without relying on Shorekeeper's buffs.
| Stat | Value (Lv. 90) | Why It Matters for Aemeath |
|---|---|---|
| Base ATK | 588 | Scales her high Liberation damage multipliers |
| Crit DMG | 24.3% | Pairs with echo/team Crit Rate for balanced ratios |
Passive Analysis & Kit Synergy
Kuro Games opted for attribute damage bonuses over ATK%, a smart move for high base ATK weapons on main DPS units.
- Passive 1: +12% All Attribute DMG Bonus. Straightforward and always active, outperforming ATK% on scaled kits.
- Passive 2: After applying Tune Rupture-Shifting or Fusion Burst, Liberation DMG ignores 32% enemy DEF and 10% Fusion RES for 8s.
This is huge for Aemeath's gameplay. Her Intro Skill applies these effects immediately, and she refreshes them via Basic Attack stages 3/4 in both her Aemeath and Mech forms. Uptime is effortless, shredding tough bosses. Currently, only Aemeath fully utilizes it due to the niche conditions, but future off-tune Fusion units could expand versatility. For now, treat it as a strong Crit DMG sword on others.
Her kit demands Tune Break for Rupturous Trail stacks (boosting skills by 4% per stack), making the DEF ignore a perfect fit for post-break nukes.
Best Weapon Alternatives
If skipping the sig, prioritize these based on accessibility and performance:
| Rank | Weapon | Rarity | Key Stats (Lv. 90) | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emerald of Genesis | 5★ | ATK 588, Crit Rate 24.3% | High base/energy regen; easy stacks via form swaps | Standard banner luck needed |
| 2 | Changli's Sig (Blazing Brilliance) | 5★ | High Crit Rate/DMG potential | Outperforms Emerald on Crit DMG echo builds (if 70%+ Crit Rate) | Passive wasted; refinement-locked |
| 3 | Feather Edge | 4★ (BP) | ATK 412, Crit Rate 20.3% | +10.8% Liberation DMG | Low base/stats; not worth BP sub |
Emerald of Genesis is the F2P king: Triggers full stacks with Resonance Skill (form changes) and Forte Circuit casts. R1 beats Feather Edge in raw output.
Pull Recommendations for F2P & Low Spenders
- Skip the weapon if you're F2P/low spender without her OR her weapon. Grab Emerald of Genesis from standard banner instead.
- Pull if: You have a strong buffer/healer (e.g., Shorekeeper for Crit Rate) and want BiS burst. The DEF shred is unmatched for endgame.
- New players: Farm one Emerald ASAP. Avoid BP for Feather Edge.
Aemeath's kit shines in Tune Break → Rupture nukes, and Everbright Polestar elevates her to top-tier DPS. But accessible alts close the gap – pull value is medium for whales, low for F2P.
For more on her teams (e.g., with Lynae/Mornye for max stacks), stay tuned for 3.1 release on Feb 5!
