As Genshin Impact 4.3 is getting close, official news has revealed that new weapons are also arriving along with the new character (Navia). These new entries are Verdict (claymore) and Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword (claymore). The former one will be Navia's signature 5-star weapon.

Verdict Genshin Impact stats

Here are the stats and effects of the Verdict:

Base ATK at level 90 674
Secondary Stat at level 90 22.1% Crit Rate
Passive effect Increases ATK by 20%. When characters in your party obtain Elemental Shards from Crystallize reactions, the equipping character will gain 1 Seal, increasing Elemental Skill DMG by 18%.

The Seal lasts for 15s, and the equipper may have up to 2 Seals at once. All of the equipper's Seals will disappear 0.2s after their Elemental Skill deals DMG.

How to get Verdict Genshin Impact?

You can obtain Verdict through the weapon banner, which will coincide with the time-limited banner for the leader of the Spina di Rosula organization. It starts from December 20, 2023, aligning with the release of version 4.3. Time to mark the calendar!

The claymore will be available in the game until the end of update 4.3's first half: 9 January 2024.

Verdict Genshin best characters

To trigger the best results, your team should focus on the Crystallize reaction. Other than that, the best characters for Verdict in Genshin Impact include:

1. Navia

Verdict, as a special weapon, works well with Navia's mechanics, making it one of the main ways to deal much stronger damage.

Here's how it works: You and your team need to gather Crystals, and turn them into Rosula's Crystal Bullets. The skill's targeted mode makes it easy to create elemental reaction shards without running around. This crystal-focused gameplay pairs perfectly with passive weapon effects, making it super easy to activate. It's all about making things simpler and more effective.

2. Freminet

For optimal performance, you can slot this claymore into a Cryo build because its passive won't boost physical damage.

Activate the Drifting Ice Pressure ability to throw Freminé into a Feather Timer state, treating Cryo damage as elemental skill damage. Keep in mind that Freminet can't whip up Crystal Shards solo, so you'll need a Geo applicator from your team to make that happen.

One of the best characters for Verdict Genshin is Freminet.

3. Diluc

The Knight relies heavily on skill attacks, so the extra boost can come in handy in battle.

However, when compared to the practically signature "Wolf's Bane", Verdict may not be the best choice. The catch is that setting Verdict up for Diluc could lead to a decrease in the damage output of other skills.

4. Dehya

Even though Dehya's abilities hinge on her HP, Verdict still comes out on top in terms of damage when compared to most alternatives.

Similar to the situation with Diluc mentioned earlier, it's worth noting that this choice is more situational. It might not be the best fit if the damage from Dehya's other skills is crucial for your strategy.

Who should not use Verdict?

Let's take a closer look at characters who might seem to meet the claymore's requirements initially but aren't the ideal candidates for Verdict:

  • Kaveh
  • Itto
  • Razor
  • Xinyan
  • Sayu
