Genshin Impact 4.5: Dialogues of the Desert Sages stats and effect

HoYoverse has recently revealed that Dialogues of the Desert Sages will be the newest 4-star weapon in Genshin Impact's version 4.5. Players can obtain this Caduceus-inspired polearm for free by participating in the main event called Alchemical Ascension.

Here are the stats of Dialogues of the Desert Sages at level 90:

Base ATK	510
Secondary stat	41.3% HP

While the weapon boasts an average base attack, it will provide a considerable amount of health to the wielder. At max stats, it will increase the user's HP by 41.3%.

Let's take a look at its passive effect called the Principle of Equilibrium at R1:

"When the wielder performs healing, restore 8 Energy. This effect can be triggered once every 10 seconds and can occur even when the character is not on the field."

After the wielder of this weapon triggers healing, they can generate energy to charge up their own Elemental Burst or that of their teammates. Furthermore, utilizing this effect off-field will certainly improve its use case.

Genshin Impact: Best characters to use Dialogues of the Desert Sages

As one would expect, Dialogues of the Desert Sages will be most suited for characters that scale off their max HP in Genshin Impact. Moreover, it would also help if their kit included some healing abilities to capitalize on the passive effect.

Here are the recommended characters to efficiently use this new polearm:

1) Chevreuse

Chevreuse will be one of the best choices to equip Dialogues of the Desert Sages. She is an amazing character from the Pyro element who can buff and heal her teammates based on her max HP.

2) Yaoyao

Yaoyao is another healer with an HP scaling who can utilize the weapon. While her kit can't buff her teammates like Chevreuse, she can heal them by a considerable amount via her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst.

3) Zhongli

Zhongli's exceptional shielding makes him one of the best supports in the entire game. By stacking enough HP on him, players can easily clear the hardest challenges unharmed. As such, this polearm can be a great stat stick on him.

Zhongli can also provide healing after unlocking his C6. Therefore, players who have it can also take advantage of the passive of Dialogues of the Desert Sages with him.
