Xiphos’ Moonlight – How to get, Ascension, stats, and who can use it in Genshin Impact

Xiphos' Moonlight is a four-star sword that buffs the wielder's Energy Recharged based on their Elemental Mastery. As such, the sword is perfect for characters who heavily rely on these two stats, as it will help you offset what you lack from Artifacts.

The Xiphos' Moonlight is a limited weapon that can only be obtained whenever it's featured on rate-up in the Epitome Invocation banner, which you can pull on using Primogems and Intertwined Fates. As such, you need to wait for it to go on rotation and hope for the best.
