Moonpiercer – How to get, Ascension, stats, and who can use it in Genshin Impact

Moonpiercer is a Genshin Impact four-star polearm part of the series of Sumeru craftable weapons. Being completely free-to-play friendly, this weapon is a budget-friendly choice for support characters who mainly trigger Dendro Elemental Reactions in your team, so a careful team comp is required to make the weapon shine.

How to get Moonpiercer in Genshin Impact

Moonpiercer is a craftable weapon, so it can't be obtained by pulling on any banner. Instead, you must play through Sumeru's Aranyaka quest chain to get Quest Items called Stories of You and the Aranara. Then speak to Aravinay in dream Vanarana to exchange them for Forging Blueprints, including the Tale of the Moonlight, which is used to craft Moonpiercer.

Learn the Blueprint by using it from your Inventory, then head to any Blacksmith to forge it with the following materials:

• x1 Midlander Polearm Billet
• x50 Crystal Chunk
• x50 White Iron Cunk
• x500 Mora

It only takes 10 seconds to get this polearm and you can craft as many as you like for Refinements.

Genshin Impact Moonpiercer stats

• Base Attack: 44 to 565
• Substat: Elemental Mastery (24 to 110)
• Passive: Stillwood Moonshadow
  • After triggering Burning, Quicken, Aggravate, Spread, Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon, a Leaf of Revival will be created around the character for a maximum of 10 seconds. When picked up, the Leaf will grant the character 16/20/24/28/32 percent Attack for 12 seconds. Only 1 Leaf can be generated this way every 20 seconds. This effect can still be triggered if the character is not on the field.

Who can use Moonpiercer in Genshin Impact

Moonpiercer was made for support characters whose job is to trigger Dendro Elemental Reactions, so you need to build the right team and be mindful of your rotations to make good use of its passive. When the wielder triggers Elemental Reactions, a Leaf of Revival will be summoned. Whoever picks it up (not necessarily the wielder) will get a huge Attack boost, further boosting the weapon's support capabilities.

However, despite the army of polearm users in the game, only a few can make full use of Moonpiercer:

• Thoma
• Xiangling
