The Beacon of the Reed Sea is a powerful five-star claymore in Genshin Impact, primarily recognized as the signature weapon for Dehya. Obtaining this weapon requires understanding its availability, as it cannot be found through open-world exploration or standard chest loot. Players seeking to add this equipment to their arsenal must navigate specific gacha banners during active event periods.
Where to Find the Beacon of the Reed Sea
Unlike standard weapons that can be crafted or discovered in chests, the Beacon of the Reed Sea is exclusive to limited-time wish banners. Its primary source is the Epitome Invocation weapon banner when featured during specific game updates. Additionally, it can appear in specialized regional banners like the Chronicled Wish when featured.
Because it is an event-exclusive item, it is not permanently available in the standard Wanderlust Invocation banner. Players must keep track of official version announcements to know when it returns to rotation. Planning ahead allows travelers to save enough Intertwined Fates to secure the item.
How to Guarantee Obtaining the Weapon
To acquire the Beacon of the Reed Sea efficiently, players should utilize the Epitized Path system on the weapon banner. Selecting the claymore as your designated target ensures that accumulated Fate Points guarantee the weapon within a set number of wishes. This system prevents endless pulling without obtaining the desired five-star item.
It is recommended to save up to 240 wishes to guarantee pulling the weapon from scratch during its run. Managing currency wisely guarantees that you will not miss out when its banner becomes active. Monitoring countdown timers on current banners helps prevent pulling on the wrong event.
Gathering Ascension Materials
Once acquired, upgrading the Beacon of the Reed Sea requires specific ascension materials scattered across Sumeru. Players need Echo of Scorching Might domain items from the Tower of Abject Pride. Shell materials dropped by Consecrated Beasts are also essential for ascending its stats.
Additionally, silk and satin materials collected from defeated Eremite enemies throughout the desert region are required. Collecting these items in advance ensures immediate level progression upon pulling the weapon. Maximizing the weapon's level unlocks its full base attack and high critical rate bonuses.
Best Character Pairings and Performance
While designed specifically for Dehya, the Beacon of the Reed Sea benefits a wide variety of claymore users. Its passive ability increases attack power after hitting enemies with an elemental skill or taking damage. It also boosts maximum HP when the equipped character is not protected by a shield.
Characters like Diluc, Eula, and Razor perform exceptionally well when wielding this weapon due to its strong critical rate secondary stat. Building teams without dedicated shielders maximizes its passive damage potential. Understanding these mechanics helps players determine if the weapon fits their current roster needs.
