Elegy for the End
This five-star bow’s primary selling point is itsElemental Recharge substat, which is perfect for Energy hungry characters, combined with an amazingElemental Mastery passive. This allows the wielder to initiate powerful Elemental Reactions, making it a perfect bow for Support characters.
Staff of Homa
This five-star polearm shines for itsHP passivecombined with aCrit Damage substat, which any HP scaling character will love—especially those with DPS potential.
Elegy for the End vs. Staff of Homa
Since the two are different weapon types, you should ultimately choose an Epitomized Path for the character you’re currently—or planning to—build.
So if Venti’s the next five-star you’re building for your team, go for the Elegy for the End. But if you just pulled Hu Tao and plan to make her your Main DPS, you won’t regret picking up the Staff of Homa.
Don’t forget:Once you’ve decided which weapon to pull for,select it in the Epitomized Path menuandclick Chart Course. If you don’t do this, your pulls won’t count toward building up Fate Points.
