How to Get
Players can obtain this limited weapon from the event, Shadows Amidst Snowstorms, which will run from Nov. 25, 2021 to Dec. 13, 2021, and will jump off the existing Dragonspine storyline. You can obtain the Cinnabar Spindle by building snowmen using components obtained from various Trials and exchanging with friends.
Meanwhile, the sword can be Refined using Alkahest, which is a Refinement material that can be purchased from the event store using event currency during its runtime.

Who Can Use Cinnabar Spindle
The Cinnabar Spindle is a niche sword due to its unique Defense substat and passive that scales off of the character's Defense. Most characters scale off Attack by default, which means that they aren't going to have enough Defense to make the sword's stats viable compared to existing options.
Overall, the Cinnabar Spindle is Albedo's best-in-slot weapon due to his split-scaling mechanic, which favors Defense for his Elemental Skill and Attack for his Elemental Burst. The sword's stats are a direct buff to his Elemental Skill, making it an amazing weapon when your Albedo is built as a Sub-DPS or Geo battery Support.
