Should You Roll For Epitome Invocation?

Roll If You Want A ★5 Weapon

A 5-star weapon has significantly higher stats than lower rarity weapons, so roll on this banner if you have enough characters already. However, the priority of weapons is lower than characters in the early game, so pull on other banners if you don't have the characters you want.

Why Pull For The New Banner 5★ Weapons?

Beyond the Chrysalis Is a High CRIT DMG Sword

Vesna's Signature Weapon has a unique passive that cycles through three buffs in a set order whenever the equipping character hits their Skill or Burst. The first buff in the cycle is a substantial CRIT DMG buff that, when paired with the CRIT DMG main stat of the weapon itself, results in a fairly high amount of free CRIT DMG for most sword DPS characters that prefer to stay On-Field.

Each buff lasts for 10 seconds. Vesna naturally has no problem shifting through each passive effect, but other DPSes may want to use either Skill or Burst during their field time in order to maintain the CRIT DMG buff.

Hymn of the Maelstrom Adds to Vodyanitsa's Buff Value

At base investment, Vodyanitsa provides a noticeable amount of utility that you can easily access through her Elemental Skill, which includes healing, interruption resistance increase, specific elemental RES Shred and whatever passive buff her equipped Artifact set grants.

Her Signature Weapon further enhances her value as a Support or Buffer thanks to the ATK% buff and a self increase to her Healing Bonus. Additionally, these effects are made stronger in Freeze and Stellar Swirl teams. It's a viable investment to consider if you plan to use Vodyanitsa extensively in these comp types.

Epitome Invocation - Gacha Rates

Item Probability & Drop Rates

Guaranteed ★5 Weapon Within 80 Rolls

The Epitome Invocation banner guarantees a 5-star weapon at least once within 80 attempts.

What Are The Chances Of Getting The Featured Weapon?

The first time you obtain a 5-star weapon from this event wish, there is a 75% chance it will be one of the featured weapons. If you don't get one of the featured 5-star weapons on your first 5-star pull, your next 5-star pull is guaranteed to be one of them.

Pity Accumulates Only Within This Banner Type

Note that pity only accumulates within the weapon event Wish. This means that the number of times you roll on Epitome Invocation does not carry over to other non-weapon banners, such as the standard or limited character banners.

Epitomized Path - New Feature

Epitomized Path is a feature that allows you to chart a course and choose which of the two featured 5-Star weapons on the banner you would like to get.
