II. How To Unlock Snow-Tombed Starsilver

Similar to how to get 4-star weapons in Genshin Impact, there are two ways to get Snowtombed Starsilver, including forging and Ancient Carvings Puzzle chest. Check out how to obtain this claymore with these two methods.

• Forging

You need to collect enough materials to forge this claymore, including a Northlander Claymore Billet, 50 Crystal Chunks, and 50 pieces of Starsilver. Then, go to see the blacksmith NPCs in Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma in Teyvat to forge this weapon. Alternatively, you can also make this weapon at the Open-Air Workshop in the Serenitea Pot.

• Ancient Carvings Puzzle chest

You need to solve this puzzle in Dragonspine's Glacial Secret exploration objective. During the exploration, players have to solve an Ancient Carvings Puzzle to get a chest that contains this 4-star claymore.

After obtaining it, you should use enhancement and ascension materials to level it up to level 90. Not only the base ATK and Damage bonus increase but its appearance is also upgraded.

III. Snow-Tombed Starsilver Best Character

After getting Snowtombed Starsilver from forging or chest, you can equip it for any Claymore users in Genshin Impact. But this 4-star claymore will be more powerful and effective when it's in the hand of the best characters. You should equip this claymore for Razor, Chongyun, and Xinyan.

• Razor

Is Snow-Tombed Starsilver good for Razor? The answer is Yes. This claymore makes enemies affected by Cryo get 200% ATK DMG.

When Razor uses his elemental attacks to apply Electro DMG to these enemies, it can deal huge damage to them with both the DMG bonus of Snowtombed Starsilver and the Superconduct elemental reaction. You should use the Bloodstained Chivalry and Pale Flame artifact sets to build Razor's main DPS role with this claymore.

• Chongyun

Chongyun is a powerful 4-star Cryo character who can play both DPS and Sub-DPS roles in your team. Snowtombed Starsilver is one of the best weapons for him because this claymore deals 200% ATK DMG to enemies affected by Cryo. Therefore, Chongyun's normal and charged attacks will cause higher DMG to opponents after he applies the Cyro element on them by his elemental skill and burst.

• Xinyan

You can also equip this claymore for Xinyan - a Pyro character. Her Elemental skill and burst can cause the Melt reaction on enemies affected by the Cryo element to increase the DMG bonus. This claymore is one of the best weapons for her DPS build.

IV. Snow-Tombed Starsilver Vs Prototype Archaic

Prototype Archaic is also a 4-star claymore with the same base damage as that of Snowtombed Starsilver. While the Prototype is good for all claymore users, Snowtombed Starsilver is only good for a few characters.

However, if you need to choose the better claymore for Razor, Snowtombed Starsilver is still the priority. Therefore, you need to build a proper team and choose the best user to make Snowtombed Starsilver more effective and powerful.
