Ah, Kagura's Verity. When I first laid eyes on this exquisite five-star Catalyst in Genshin Impact, I knew it was something special. As someone who's spent countless hours experimenting with different weapon builds, I can tell you—this isn't just another fancy stick. It's a game-changer for any DPS or sub-DPS character you pair it with. The way it dances with elemental skills feels almost... alive. Let me walk you through why this weapon has become my go-to choice for so many of my favorite characters.
What Makes Kagura's Verity So Special?
Okay, let's break it down. This weapon has some seriously juicy stats that make my damage numbers go brrr. Here's what you're working with:
-
Elemental Skill Boost: Every time you use your Elemental Skill (you know, that E button we all spam), damage increases by 12%. And get this—it stacks up to three times! That's potentially 36% more damage just from doing what you'd normally do anyway.
-
Elemental Damage Bonus: Once you hit that sweet three-stack mark, all your elemental damage gets another 12% boost. It's like the weapon's giving you a little high-five for being consistent.
-
Crit Damage: Starting at 14.4% and scaling all the way up to 66.2% at level 90. Talk about making your crits feel extra satisfying!
-
Base Attack: 46 at the start, but it grows into a whopping 608 by level 90. That's some serious firepower right there.
The weapon practically begs to be used by characters who love spamming their Elemental Skills. It's not just about the numbers though—there's a certain rhythm to using it that feels incredibly satisfying.
How Do You Actually Get This Thing?
Alright, let's be real for a second—getting Kagura's Verity isn't exactly a walk in the park. You'll need to pull on the Epitome Invocation banner (that's the weapon banner for those keeping score) when Yae Miko is featured. The gacha system can be... let's just say it has its own personality. But hey, when you finally see that golden glow and Kagura's Verity appears? Chef's kiss.
My Dream Team: Who Works Best with Kagura's Verity?
Yae Miko: The Perfect Match
Well, this one's a no-brainer. Kagura's Verity is literally Yae Miko's signature weapon, and boy do they make beautiful music together. When I use Yae's Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura, those three statues just melt enemies with Electro damage. With Kagura's Verity, each Sesshou Sakura gets that sweet 12-36% damage boost on top of the insane crit damage.
And when I trigger her Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin with three weapon stacks active? Let's just say the screen becomes a beautiful fireworks display of purple numbers. It's the kind of synergy that makes you feel like you've unlocked the character's true potential.
Neuvillette: An Unexpected Powerhouse
Now here's where things get interesting. Neuvillette's whole thing is his charged attacks, right? But Kagura's Verity plays a different role here—it helps him create those precious Sourcewater Droplets. His O Tides I Have Returned creates six droplets, letting him do two charged attacks back-to-back. Pretty slick, huh?
But the real magic happens with his Elemental Skill, O Tears I Shall Repay. The more I use it, the more attack power he gains for those devastating charged attacks. The Crit Damage bonus from Kagura's Verity just takes everything to another level. It's like giving a master painter an even better brush—the results speak for themselves.
Wanderer: Taking to the Skies
Wanderer's Hanega: Song of the Wind lets him enter that awesome Windfavoured State where he can fly around and unleash more powerful basic attacks. Kagura's Verity complements this perfectly by boosting his damage every time he uses the skill. And that Crit Damage? Don't even get me started—it's like adding rocket fuel to an already fast car.
What I love most is how it enhances his elemental reaction game:
| Element | Buff Effect |
|---|---|
| Pyro | Increases Attack by 30% |
| Hydro | Increases air time by 20 points |
| Electro | Regenerates 0.8 Energy |
With Kagura's Verity in hand, Wanderer becomes an absolute menace in the air.
Charlotte: The Cryo Queen
If you're using Charlotte as your sub-DPS (and why wouldn't you?), Kagura's Verity is basically her best friend. Her Framing: Freezing Point Composition deals Cryo damage, and when you hold it? It hits even more enemies. With this weapon, every use gives her increased damage up to three stacks.
It's simple, effective, and honestly? Kind of broken in the best way possible. The weapon turns her from a support character into a legitimate damage threat.
Yanfei: Sealing the Deal
Yanfei's whole gameplay revolves around those Scarlet Seals—you get them from normal attacks or using her Elemental Skill/Burst. More seals mean more charged attacks, which is where her real damage comes from. Kagura's Verity gives her Elemental Skill that extra oomph she needs to build seals faster.
It adds a layer of versatility to her kit that I didn't even know was missing. Suddenly, her Elemental Skill isn't just a seal generator—it's a legitimate damage option too. Talk about multitasking!
Lisa: The Ultimate Combo
Oh man, Lisa with Kagura's Verity? It's like they were made for each other. Her Violet Arc gets more powerful with each use (up to three times), which perfectly syncs with Kagura's stacking mechanic. The weapon and the skill are basically finishing each other's sentences.
When you equip her with this Catalyst, she becomes an absolute monster. The damage potential is... well, let's just say enemies don't stick around for long. It's one of those combinations that makes you wonder why you ever used anything else.
Final Thoughts: Is Kagura's Verity Worth It?
Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat it—getting this weapon takes some luck and probably a fair bit of Primogems. But having used it extensively across multiple characters, I can confidently say: yes, it's absolutely worth it. The way it transforms characters' playstyles, the satisfying stacking mechanic, the sheer damage output... it's the whole package.
Whether you're a Yae Miko main looking for that perfect synergy, or you want to unlock new potential in characters like Lisa or Charlotte, Kagura's Verity delivers. It's more than just a stat stick—it's a weapon that encourages smart, strategic play while rewarding you with absolutely massive damage numbers.
So if you see it on the banner and you've got the resources to spare? Take the plunge. Your DPS characters will thank you, and your enemies... well, they won't have much time to think about it. 😉
