The Tokabo Shigure in Genshin Impact is a one-handed 4-point sword that can be obtained for free by completing the main event of patch 3.3 in Inazuma. It has a fairly good base attack and an additional stat boosting elemental mastery. A bonus is the passive damage boost, which is very useful.
In the guide, we will take a closer look at the features of the Tokabo Shigure weapon, how to get it and who to give it to.
How to get the Tokabo Shigure sword
This weapon with a very unusual design can be obtained by participating in the Trial of Courage event - Akitsu Kimodameshi. It takes place as part of the first half of the version 3.3 update. The player must have at least 30 adventure rank, unlock the Inazuma region, and complete the "Escape from Rito Island" quest of the Archons.
We recommend that you complete the Arataki Itto legends quest “Heavenly Bull. Chapter 1: The Golden Soul of Oni" for the most interesting walkthrough. Or use the "Quick start" button in the event menu.
The sword can be obtained as a reward after the end of the “Crispy Sakura Mochi” stage of the entertainment mode, that is, at the very beginning of the event.
Characteristics of Tokabo Shigure
Type: one-handed sword.
Rarity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Base Attack: 42-510.
Additional stat: Elemental Mastery 36-165.
Passive effect: Hitting an enemy with any attack leaves a "Cursed Umbrella" mark on them for 10 seconds. This effect can only occur once every 15 seconds. If the marked enemy dies before the effect ends, the passive effect is immediately reset. The equipped character's attack damage against enemies affected by the Cursed Umbrella is increased by 16/20/24/28/32% (depending on the awakening level).
Leveling Tokabo Shigure
In order to raise Tokabo Shigure to the maximum possible level, the following resources will be required:
- Narukami's Wisdom, Joy, and Grace can be obtained from the Inazuma Region's Dungeon of the Flowing Sand on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday, or crafted using the Alchemy Workbench.
- Broken, Contaminated, and Shiny Prism - Looted from Primordial Constructs in the Sumeru Desert.
- Old, Illustrious Guard and Kageuchi Guard - Drop as loot from Kairagi and Nobushi in Inazuma.
- 605 units of Enchantment Magic Ore.
- 754 mora.
Awakening the Demonic Sword doesn't require duplicate weapons, as with regular weapons. Instead, you'll need Umbrella Powder —a special item that can be purchased in the event shop using a currency called Kimodameshi Tickets. These are awarded throughout the event for completing various stages of the trials.
Who to give Tokabo Shigure in Genshin Impact
Tokabo Shigure is a worthy alternative to Steel Sting and Flash in the Dark if they are busy or not on your account. It shows itself best in combat against single targets. Well suited for supports and sub DDs who want to gain additional mastery of the elements from the second stats and play from reactions.
A significant plus of the passive of the sword is the increase in damage of absolutely all types of attacks, which also makes it a great option for equipping support heroes and secondary damage dealers.
Below is a closer look at the characters that can be equipped with a one-handed Tokabo Shigure:
- Kazuha - Due to the need for a lot of elemental mastery and his role in the team, he will become one of the best blade bearers. Will be able to effectively implement the Cursed Umbrella ability.
- Nilou - to increase the overall damage from Budding. In the absence of the 4⭐️ weapons on HP that she requires, as an alternative, look at the Elemental Mastery stat. This stat is essential for good damage with Budding. As a primary or sub-DD, she will be able to use a partial sword effect frequently. However, we must not forget that the weapon is designed for a single target, while the buds are for the crowd.
- Dendro Traveler - his passive talent Luxurious Greens is directly related to the MS indicator, and the build through reactions is the basis of the hero.
- Keqing - in packs with Vegetation and Stimulation, all inflicted reaction damage depends on the mastery of the elements. It can be obtained from the additional characteristic of Tokabo Shigure.
- Cookie Shinobu - will easily find application, since healing and damage from E-shki are calculated from the value of MS. But for this you need to open the talent "Peace of mind".
- Xingqiu - give preference to the umbrella only if there are no problems with energy recovery and the hero is playing in a team with Pyro characters. The applied effect and additional stat of the gun will help in the battle against "fat" mobs, increasing the damage of the elemental skill.
- Layla - when playing through a shield, the weapon is useless, but it will work if you collect the character in a reactor (closes the status and causes a reaction).
Tokabo Shigure will help you deal with single mobs faster , as in a crowd, the "Cursed Umbrella" mark will only target one mob. It works best on bosses and elite enemies.
How to use Tokabo Shigure
The first and main thing to do is to hit the enemy. Attack can be any, but we recommend hitting normal or charged. This activates the passive effect of the sword, after which the character can begin to deal the maximum amount of damage with elemental and ultimate abilities for 10 seconds.
The sequence of actions is as follows:
- We choose the most powerful enemy and inflict damage on him, activating the buff from the weapon.
- With the equipped character, we cause a reaction, an elemental skill or an ult.
- If this is a support whose skills can work out of pocket, then we switch to the main damage dealer and continue to hit him, trying to damage as much as possible.
- If an enemy is defeated before the Cursed Umbrella effect ends, its cooldown will be reset and you can immediately move on to the next enemy, repeating this sequence of actions again.
