The Skyward Blade is a five-star sword that's suitable for sub-DPS units who rely on their Elemental Burst to dish out damage. While it's an underwhelming weapon compared to Genshin Impact's array of better sword options (including four-star picks), it still offers a decent stat boost. I find it useful to throw the Skyward Blade into an alternative Abyss team member that requires Energy Recharge.
How to get Skyward Blade in Genshin Impact
Skyward Blade is a standard banner weapon, which means that you can pull for it from the permanent Wanderlust Invocation banner, as well as all limited weapon banners. However, this also means that it's impossible to chart an Epitomized Path to target the Skyward Blade, so I don't recommend intentionally aiming to get this weapon from the gacha.
