Who Can Use Cinnabar Spindle
The Cinnabar Spindle is a niche sword due to its unique Defense substat and passive that scales off of the character’s Defense. Most characters scale off Attack by default, which means that they aren’t going to have enough Defense to make the sword’s stats viable compared to existing options.
Overall, the Cinnabar Spindle isAlbedo’s best-in-slot weapondue to his split-scaling mechanic, which favors Defense for his Elemental Skill and Attack for his Elemental Burst. The sword’s stats are adirect buff to his Elemental Skill, making it an amazing weapon when your Albedo is built as a Sub-DPS or Geo battery Support.
