Genshin Impact Mountain-Bracing Bolt Stats & Effects
At Level 90 and Refinement Level 1, the Mountain-Bracing Bolt has the following stats:
| Base ATK | 565 |
| Secondary Stat | 30.6% Energy Recharge |
| Weapon Passive | The wielder experiences a 15% reduction in Climbing Stamina consumption and a 12% increase in Elemental Skill DMG. Furthermore, after other team members use their Elemental Skills, the character holding this weapon will receive an additional 12% Elemental DMG boost that lasts for 8 seconds. |
Given these stats, the Mountain-Bracing Bolt is ideal for characters who deal damage primarily through their Elemental Skill. Therefore, sub-DPS polearm-wielding characters can effectively utilize this 4-star weapon. If you upgrade the Mountain-Bracing Bolt to Refinement Level 5, the Elemental Skill DMG for the character using this weapon will increase by 24%. This can be further enhanced by an additional 24% boost when other party members use their Elemental Skills.
Best Genshin Impact Characters for Mountain-Bracing Bolt
The Mountain-Bracing Bolt is a great weapon for both on-field and off-field sub-DPS characters that focus on using their Elemental Skill for damage. At present, two characters can fully utilize the Mountain-Bracing Bolt:
Kachina
The Mountain-Bracing Bolt is an excellent choice for the 4-star Geo character Kachina. She can even be seen wielding this weapon in the cutscenes of the Natlan Archon Quest. Kachina’s main damage comes from her Turbo Twirly, which is part of her Elemental Skill. Equipping the Mountain-Bracing Bolt will greatly boost her Elemental DMG output and assist with her Energy Recharge needs.
Kachina can also benefit from the weapon's reduction in Climbing Stamina consumption, enabling her to use her Turbo Twirly for longer climbs without depleting her stamina.
Emilie
Emilie is an effective off-field sub-DPS character who primarily relies on her Elemental Skill and Elemental Reactions to deal damage. Equipping the Mountain-Bracing Bolt on Emilie allows her to deliver significant extra damage while using her Elemental Skill. Since she mainly operates off-field, you can keep your DPS characters attacking enemies, which enhances the overall damage output of the entire team.
