Hello captains! Welcome to this 5.5 Beta guide.

Today we are discussing the other two newly added weapons.

Just like in my previous guide I will follow the same order.

1. Introduction and How to obtain

2. Skill details

3. Weapon Comparison

4. Conclusion

Let's dive in~ [emoji]

✧ Introduction and How to obtain ✧

Astral Rend: White Dwarf and PRI-ARM Astral Divide: Pisces

Astral Rend: White Dwarf and its PRI-ARM Astral Divide: Pisces are two new Scythe weapons that will be added in 5.5.

They are the recommended weapons for the new S-Rank Battlesuit [Spina Astera].

Astral Rend: White Dwarf can only be obtained in the FOCA Select gacha Round 1 and 3 or the Special Supply.

The PRI-ARM can be crafted in the Foundry if you obtained at least 1 Astral Rend: White Dwarf but you can choose any gacha Scythe as a sacrifice.

✪ Skill details ✪

Astral Rend: White Dwarf

ATK 300 CRT 12

Astral Rend: White Dwarf weapon skill is a large explosion which can knock the enemies airborne and inflicts a unique status called the Flared state which lasts for 10s.

Flared enemies take 15% bonus Fire DMG while also providing 20% bonus TDM to the wielders Basic, Charged and Combo ATK's against them.

[Spina Astera] equip bonus: Astral Flare (Charged ATK) deals 10% ATK of bonus Fire DMG against Flared enemies and she restores 10 Astrum (special bar) per second.

✰ Weapon Comparison ✰

I compared various different Scythes in a DMG test using only [Spina Astera] with her signature stigmata set [Ragna] (no supports, no ELF) with the following rotation:

Charged ATK -> (Weapon Skill) -> Basic ATK 5x -> Charged ATK -> Ultimate -> Charged ATK

Note! I skipped the weapon skill with weapons that don't have one

✺ Results ✺

❉ Conclusion ❉

Astral Rend: White Dwarf and its PRI-ARM Astral Divide: Pisces are by far the best weapons for [Spina Astera].

Unfortunately there is no other Fire Scythe that can work as a decent substitute which makes replacing it really hard.

As you can see in the results, the difference between the signature weapons and the other Scythe's is quite large.

Astral Rend: White Dwarf and Astral Divide: Pisces also provide a huge bonus because they restore her special bar (Astrum) per second which enables [Spina Astera] to use Charged ATK's more frequently.

As for a F2P option there is only one which is the Onyx Iron. But as you can see the difference in DMG is massive.

Note! I tested various other 5 star Scythe weapons and they all share a similar result as Onyx Iron.

I recommend to try to get at least her weapon if you plan to use her as a DPS.

That's it~ [emoji]

Thanks to every captain who will read my guide and I hope it will be useful to you! [emoji]

Don't forget to pray to Ai-Chan for more luck in the gacha [emoji]

But most importantly, have fun in Honkai! [emoji]
