Genshin Impact 5★ Dendro Sword Support
Skyward Blade is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Dendro Traveler's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Summit Shaper, Fleuve Cendre Ferryman and Absolution come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Dendro Traveler, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Lea Lotus Lamp will obtain one level of Overflowing Lotuslight every second it is on the field, increasing the Elemental Mastery of active character(s) within its AoE by 6. Overflowing Lotuslight has a maximum of 10 stacks.
Every point of Elemental Mastery the Traveler possesses increases the DMG dealt by Razorgrass Blade by 0.15% and the DMG dealt by Surgent Manifestation by 0.1%.

This DMG is considered Charged Attack DMG. · Charged Attack: Verdessence can be triggered up to once every 15s.
