"Epitome Invocation" Weapon Event Wish will be available starting April 28 at 12 a.m. ET to May 18, 7 p.m. ET.

Characters That Work Well With Summit Shaper

The sword may be picky because shield longsword characters are the ones who can maximize its potentials. Thus it has received limited attention to players who use these specific characters. Albedo and Kequing are the ones who are known to fit the sword best. Kaeya and Ayaka can also use it, but the general opinion is that these two can be stronger with other swords.

Yet Summit Shaper is still a five-star sword with decent basic statistics. If you do happen to get this sword in hand, use it well!
