Genshin Impact has introduced a ton of time-limited characters and weapons in the 1.3 update.

The weapon requires Luminous Stone / The Lost Relic/ Divine Body / Lustrous Stone from Guyun and Sacrificial Knife for ascension.

At refinement rank 5, the Lithic Blade-wielding character can gain 44% ATK buff and 28% CRIT rate, if all the 4 members in the party hail from Liyue. This will change the party selection and gameplay meta in Genshin Impact for sure.
