At Level 90 with Refinement Level 1, the Mountain-Bracing Bolt showcases the following attributes:

Base ATK	565
Secondary Stat	30.6% Energy Recharge
Weapon Passive	While equipped, the user experiences a 15% reduction in Climbing Stamina Consumption and gains a 12% increase in Elemental Skill DMG. Furthermore, when allies utilize their Elemental Skills, the wielder receives a temporary 12% boost in Elemental DMG lasting 8 seconds.

Given these attributes, the Mountain-Bracing Bolt excels with characters who deliver damage through their Elemental Skills. Hence, Polearm users who take on a sub-DPS role can greatly benefit from this weapon’s features. If you manage to enhance the Mountain-Bracing Bolt to Refinement Level 5, you will see a remarkable 24% increase in the wielder’s Elemental Skill DMG, complemented by another 24% increase each time other team members activate their Elemental Skills.

Top Characters for Mountain-Bracing Bolt

This weapon is particularly advantageous for both on and off-field sub-DPS characters that depend on their Elemental Skills for damage output. Presently, two characters stand out as exceptional users of the Mountain-Bracing Bolt:

1) China

Kachina, a 4-star Geo character, is the perfect fit for the Mountain-Bracing Bolt. She prominently wields this weapon during the Natlan Archon Quest cutscenes. Her Turbo Twirly, which forms part of her Elemental Skill, serves as her principal damage dealer. Using the Mountain-Bracing Bolt significantly enhances her Elemental DMG while also addressing her Energy Recharge needs.

Moreover, the weapon’s Climbing Stamina Consumption reduction further benefits Kachina, allowing her to perform her Turbo Twirly longer while climbing without depleting her stamina.

2) Emilie

Emilie serves as an effective off-field sub-DPS character, primarily dealing damage through her Elemental Skill and Elemental Reactions. When equipped with the Mountain-Bracing Bolt, she can amplify her damage output significantly during her Elemental Skill usage. Given her off-field role, players can concurrently deploy main DPS characters for direct engagement, leading to an overall increase in the team’s damage potential.
