How to Get Xiphos’ Moonlight in Genshin Impact

In Genshin Impact, Xiphos’ Moonlight is a fantastic Sword for characters who rely on Elemental Reactions. It’s also fairly easy to get, making it fantastic for players who don’t necessarily want to spend too much real-world money or precious Primogems on the weapon banner.

Where is Xiphos’ Moonlight in Genshin Impact?

Xiphos’ Moonlight is a 4-star Weapon that you can get from the Epitome Invocation banners. It usually appears on rate-up whenever Key of Khaj-Nisut (Nilou’s signature weapon) is around, meaning that it will be available on the Phase I Version 4.8 banner too. This is, as of the time of writing, the only method to get Xiphos’ Moonlight in Genshin Impact.

Is Xiphos’ Moonlight worth it?

Yes! Yes, Xiphos’ Moonlight works very well with a wide number of useful Sword users. You can even give it to a 5-star character if you don’t have their signature weapon and it can serve as one of their better alternatives. The following effect is for R1:

• Jinni’s Whisper
  The following effect will trigger every 10s: The equipping character will gain 0.036% Energy Recharge for each point of Elemental Mastery they possess for 12s, with nearby party members gaining 30% of this buff for the same duration. Multiple instances of this weapon can allow this buff to stack. This effect will still trigger even if the character is not on the field.

It also has Elemental Mastery as its main stat. This makes the weapon a very good one to use in team compositions that rely heavily on Elemental Mastery or Elemental Reactions. It provides both Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge in one weapon, meaning you don’t have to worry as much when farming Artifacts for your character.

Because the effect can stack and there’s a high chance that you’ll get multiple copies of Xiphos’ Moonlight due to its 4-star status, you could potentially deck out multiple characters with the weapon instead of immediately throwing them into Weapon Refinement or using them as experience fodder.

Who should use Xiphos’ Moonlight

Anyone who needs high Elemental Mastery can make use of Xiphos’ Moonlight. This includes:

• Alhaitham
• Kazuha
• Lynette
• Nilou
• Shinobu
• Xingqiu

Depending on your build, you could also give it to characters like Ayaka, Jean, and Layla.

Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.
