Appearance

Each weapon has two forms, one when it is initially summoned and another once it has reached a certain level of ascension. Once this occurs, the weapon will undergo a change in its design. Black Tassel, ironically enough, has a long white shaft colored dark blue at the bottom, with a dark blue spearhead.

Non-Ascended

Black Tassel’s spearhead has a dormant, greyed out symbol on its spearhead and the base of its shaft.

Ascended

The symbol on its spearhead begins to glow a golden color, as well as the previously white shaft and base of its handle

Story

One night, a Millelith officer drank with a poet, and brought his signature white-tasseled halberd with him.

The poet's ink was spilled.

And the halberd's white tassel was dyed black.

"'Tis but a tale of polearm wielder and poet."

"Unrelated to mine own black—tasseled polearm."

The old smith smacked his apprentice.

He demanded that he dye the newly made polearm's tassel black.

Trivia

- Black Tassel is one of three 3-star Polearms, along with White Tassel and Halberd.

-It is the only Polearm to boost damage against a specific enemy type.

FAQs

Is Black Tassel good?

For certain builds of characters who scale off of HP like Thoma. It is an acceptable choice especially as a F2P player. However, it is virtually useless for most offensive minded polearm users with a substat that doesn’t aid damage and a very niche passive.

Who uses Black Tassel well?

Zhongli and Thoma are two characters who have large HP scalings who don’t mind Black Tassel’s otherwise poor damage benefit, as their main focus is on shielding and protecting allies.

Is Black Tassel BiS for anyone?

Not even close, as it is a weapon you should pretty easily find superior options to either through crafting or wishes.

Final Thoughts

Black Tassel has a very small set of situations where you should consider using it, whether it’s early game and you simply have no other options as something just starting out or F2P, or you’re using a character that greatly desires %HP. It shouldn’t be too difficult to find a real upgrade to it regardless of what character you take into account, even its best case users.
