Key of Khaj-Nisut is a 5-star sword and one of the featured weapons alongside Primordial Jade Cutter in Genshin Impact. The following are the base stats and passive skills for the said weapon based on Level 90 and Refinement Rank 1:

Base ATK: 542

Secondary Stat (HP): 66.2%

Passive Skill: Increase the wielder's HP by 20%. When an Elemental Skill hits opponents, the active character will gain a Grand Hymn effect for 20 seconds, increasing their Elemental Mastery by 0.12% of their Max HP. This effect can be triggered once every 0.3s, with a maximum of 3 stacks.

Last but not least, when this effect gains 3 stacks, the Elemental Mastery of all nearby party members will be increased by 0.2% of the wielder's max HP for 20 seconds. This sword is perfect for characters that have HP-based skills, like Nilou and Kuki Shinobu.

Xiphos' Moonlight is a 4-star sword in Genshin Impact with Elemental Mastery as the secondary stat, making it a favorable weapon for Kaedehara Kazuha.

Base ATK: 510

Multiple instances of this weapon in the party will stack the buffs, and the effect can still be triggered even if the wielder is not on the field, making it perfect for any supporting character in the game that benefits from Elemental Mastery stats.
