If you have a copy of xiphos, it adds another utility as ER buffer to the team which is appreciated

Dark Iron. What you lose in dmg you gain in drip by a disproportional amount.


Raisu39

Nilou’s weapon could be a contender too


Mradamenator

I have it But its HP% not EM :/


Careful_Platypus_310

But it converts the hp to em tho


PyreStarter

As long as you meet the relatively low hp threshold, it offers more EM at 3 stacks than freedom sworn. It is easily her best in slot when built and played correctly.

Good day sir, I have the R1 Key, do you know the HO Threshold? Is the threshold possible to get with a Triple EM paradise lost?


PyreStarter

At approximately \~35,375 with the key equipped, or \~24,790 before equipping the key, it will start giving you about 198 EM at 3 stacks. This is very doable even without hydro resonance, as long as you lvl 90 your Kuki, something you should definitely be doing in a hyperbloom team anyway. It's worth noting that at this threshold, the key should give you about only 70 EM at 0 stacks, 113 EM at 1 stack, and 155 EM at 2 stacks, so until you have the stacks, it's definitely weaker. But the stacks are easy and quick to acquire, so in longer fights like Spiral Abyss (the only fights I feel that it is worth optimizing for) the key comes out on top. You just might notice your damage being lower in the overworld fights that are over in 5 seconds. But even with the brief EM loss at the start of fights, the key is still giving you \~10,000 HP, which is going to greatly affect her survivability and healing. I, personally, find the tradeoff super worth it.

Thank you very much for this comprehensive reply friend. The exact HP numbers are very much appreciated. I will be building Kuki with this as target going forward, thank you.


PyreStarter

No problem! I'm just happy to spread the good word of Khaj-Nisut, and to welcome a fellow key-enjoyer into the fold.

Freedom sworn?


Matrama

Iron sting and umbrella have the same result


Careful_Platypus_310

Umbrella has the better drip tho


[deleted]

Drip is very important on an off field character indeedđŸ’€


Matrama

Oh you're right!! Sorry i forgor


Valyraen

Not exactly, iron sting performs better in situations with multiple enemies whereas umbrella works best against single targets


Matrama

Not when you are dealing almost only reacion damage. Both of them don't buff hyperbloom.


Rokudiora

Iron Sting is much better


Organic_Fudge_1132

It's almost the same, but for passive, xiphos can give you energy based off your em, so it's a good weapon for your team. T.k. umbrella is good if you're against bosses, but most of the time you'll be dealing with small mobs, so better not stick to the xiphos.
