✧ Changes in her kit ✧
For info on her full kit please check here:
With her signature weapon, Songque's max stacks of "Shadow Frames" or "Odd Thoughts" increase from 3 to 6.
This way you can get the 60 needed Combo KE with one WA.
During Stellar Outburst, Basic ATK restores 2 Odd Thoughts on hit instead of 1.
I dont have a video of it actually restoring charge and I cant record help
After using a Phantom, the next Weapon Active will instantly consume 6 Odd Thoughts, restore 60 Combo KE and deal an additional 390% ATK of Physical DMG.
✦ Rotation Changes ✦
Getting Songque's signature weapon changes rotations by increasing the maximum amount of Shadow Frames and Odd Thoughts.
Support rotations stay the same.

[HRB ➔ TA ➔ HRB]

✦ Weapon Syncs ✦
Sync Skill: Enemies tale 2% (SR1) / 4% (SR2) / 6% (SR3) more Total DMG from the character on field. (independent/exclusive). When only one enemy is on the field, Physical DMG is further increased by 3% (SR1) / 5% (SR2) / 7% (SR3) (independent/exclusive).
Note: These tests were done on a single enemy.
✦ Weapon Comparison ✦
Without talking much around it, there aren't many options.
The only actual alternative is the craftable weapon which has weirdly specific buffs.
✧ Short Conclusion ✧
Any weapon other than her signature PRI-Arm is a huge DMG loss (not as big as not having her stigs tho lol).
In Part 1 teams the DMG loss is slightly smaller, but overall it isn't much different.
Between SR1 and SR3 of the craftable weapon there's not too much of a DMG increase either, so I'd like to note that it's not worth to farm syncs for it if you don't have inhuman amounts of these mats already.
✦ Gameplay ✦
Note on this: I got a 786 like half an hour after I uploaded this, lol. Still not that bad of a run.
✦ Conclusion ✦
If you're getting Songque, her weapon is really NEEDED.
Without it she lacks DMG and her rotation is way less smooth, as basically half of her kit are in her weapon. Really weapon dependent character.
Her syncs aren't needed on the other side and really are for whales.
However, please don't have hopes on using it as alternative in future.
