Good day to you all, Travelers! As we approach the V4.5 update, we'll finally get fresh banners to spend all our hard-earned Primogems on! Today, let’s review the weapon "Freedom-Sworn" together and look at its compatibility with characters and related pull suggestions.

Weapon Stats and Effect

Keywords: ATK, Elemental Mastery, DMG Bonus, Party Buff

Weapon Evaluation

Freedom-Sworn is undeniably an excellent support Sword weapon. With its high Base ATK and Elemental Mastery secondary stat, it is capable of boosting the user's DMG and providing bonuses for the party at the same time, making it one of the best support weapons in the game.

Since the weapon provides a rare permanent All DMG bonus, the numbers have been adjusted for balance concerns, but overall it still has direct impact on the party's power. It is best on characters that scale with Elemental Mastery, so you can put it on any Sword support characters.

5-Star Character Compatibility

Kaedehara Kazuha: Best Fit

It's Kazuha's signature weapon so everything is pretty self-explanatory. The weapon provides the highest Elemental Mastery among Sword weapons and is one of the top support choices since it boosts the user's DMG as well as provides party buffs - party ATK Bonus and Normal/Charged/Plunging Attack DMG. Both Kazuha's Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst can perfectly trigger the weapon passive, even while he's off-field.

Jean: Compatible

High Base ATK and Elemental Mastery are both effective stats on Jean. She has decent DMG on her own, so the DMG Bonus is not too bad on her. When paired with Elemental teammates, it's easier to trigger the weapon passive as well, so overall the weapon is pretty compatible with her.

Nilou/Furina: Compatible

Elemental Mastery increases the DMG output of Nilou/Furina when they trigger Elemental Reactions. They can also trigger the weapon passive easily and provide party buffs, making the weapon a good fit on them too.

Other 5-star characters: Not Compatible

All other 5-star Sword users are DPS characters and this is more of a support weapon that doesn't provide enough DMG Bonus, so overall it's not great on these characters as there are better alternatives.

4-Star Character Compatibility

Kuki Shinobu: Best Fit

In Hyperbloom/Catalyze setups, the Elemental Mastery Bonus from the weapon's secondary stat can increase the Reaction DMG and healing amount of Kuki Shinobu when she triggers Hyperbloom. Kuki Shinobu's Elemental Skill can also trigger the weapon passive often while she's off-field, keeping the DMG buff up for her party. This is a highly compatible weapon for her and is her BiS weapon in Transformative Reaction builds.

Layla/Kirara/Bennett: Compatible

Layla/Kirara/Bennett can all trigger the weapon passive while off-field via help from teammates and apply the DMG buff. Overall good compatibility.

Xingqiu/Kaeya/Lynette: Relatively Compatible

Though Xingqiu has excellent off-field Hydro Aura application rate and can trigger the weapon passive often with help from teammates, he will have Energy Recharge problems, so it's better to use this weapon when you've optimized his Energy Recharge. Kaeya/Lynette can also apply Elemental Auras while off-field, and are likely to equip this weapon when played as the party's Reaction Sub-DPS.

Pulling Advice

For Kaedehara Kazuha:

• If you don't have a good weapon for him, it's recommended to pull a copy for him.

• If you have other spare Sword weapons such as Toukabou Shigure, Xiphos' Moonlight, and Iron Sting, you should prioritize pulling Constellations for Kazuha instead and save the signature weapon pull for when you have more Primogems.

For Other Characters:

• When you lack suitable weapons for Nilou, Furina, or Kuki Shinobu, you can consider pulling a copy for them.

• Most other characters have better options than Freedom-Sworn so it's not recommended to dedicate a pull for them.

And that's all for this guide! Please join in the discussion in the comment section, Travelers~
