Cinnabar Spindle Review, Is This Weapon Only for Albedo?

Sword Type Weapon with Def Substat? Is It Good?

Yo mina-san!

This event is called Shadows Admist Snowstorms.

After the trailer, which showed that Albedo betrayed us, I was also looking forward to the free weapons in this event.

Some players want to get the Cinnabar Spindle because there are a lot of sword-wielding characters in the game.

And in the midst of it all a question comes up, is this weapon suitable for anyone?

After you found out that the substat is def, do you think this weapon is useless?

So let's discuss this cinnabar spindle together to answer the confusion.

About Cinnabar Spindle and Albedo

Cinnabar spindle is a Sword-type weapon with really good attributes and a passive called spotless heart.

This spotless heart has the effect which will increase the damage from the character's elemental skills based on their percent stat def, the effect has a cooldown of 1.5 seconds and will immediately disappear within 0.1 seconds if an elemental skill causes damage.

From there, you may be able to discern which character is most suited to using this weapon, so who else if not Kreideprinz, Albedo.

Albedo has an elemental skill called Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma, the existing Solar isotoma will spawn a Transient blossom.

Transient blossom can deal geo damage every two seconds, and that damage depends on Albedo's defense stat.

How? With Spotless Heart from Cinnabar Spindle the damage from Transient Blossom can be very high. So in conclusion, this weapon could be the best choice to pair with Albedo.

If You Don't Have Albedo, Is This Weapon Still Worth It?

I answered right away, it's really not worth it. Yes, this is my answer if directed in the near future.

If you don't have Albedo, weapons with def substats are useless, so in the near future this weapon is not very useful if you don't have Albedo.

But remember, Genshin Impact is still very long, many great characters that haven't been released yet.

The increase in def stat really suits characters who have geo vision, but for now only Albedo is a sword user at the moment and has geo vision.

But that doesn't mean until the game ends there will only be Albedo who is a sword user and has geo vision, surely one day Genshin Impact will release other sword and geo vision user characters.

So there won't be any problems if you upgrade this one weapon to R5. While waiting for the Geo Sword user character to be released, you can take care of this weapon first.

How to Get Cinnabar Spindle and Upgrade Material

To get this weapon, it's very easy, you only need to make one snowman, you can get the snowman material from the dragonspine training event.

Cinnabar Spindle requires a special item for its refinement material, that item called Alkahest.You can get Alkahest through the item exchange shop which is only opened during the event.

There are two types of medals that can be used to buy alkahest in two different shops. Each of the medals can be obtained from training dragonspine and defeating the whopperflower boss.
