R5 Effect

Guardian Swordis a great F2P weapon for Cartethyia inWuthering Waves. While it’s a 3-star weapon, it still grants her enough HP%, which she won’t getfrom 4-star weapons. If players are looking for an F2P option for Cartethyia, then the 3-star Guardian Sword is the best choice.

76% Energy Regen
Effect
Increase Crit. Rate by 8%. Casting Resonance Liberation gives 24% Basic Attack DMG Bonus for 10s. Dealing Basic Attack DMG gives 24% Basic Attack DMG Bonus for 4s.
Unflickering Valorgrants Cartethyia a lot of Basic ATK DMG, but barely gives her any Crit value. Without bonus HP% and Crit value from the weapon, players will struggle building Cartethyia. She will have to getCrit Rate from her Cost 4 Echoinstead of Crit DMG, which greatly reduces her DMG. The extra Basic Attack DMG she gets from Unflickering Valor will not make it up. Despite all that, Unflickering Valor is still a good weapon for Cartethyia inWuthering Waves.
24% Crit Rate
Increases Energy Regen by 12.8%. When Resonance Skill is released, increases ATK by 6%, stacking up to 2 time(s). This effect lasts for 10s.
Emerald of Genesisis the standard 5-star weapon for any Swordcharacter inWuthering Waves. While Cartethyia doesn’t benefit from the Emerald’s extra ATK% passives, she still gets a decent Crit Rate and Energy Regen stats to help with her build. Any extra Crit Rate from a weapon is great for Cartethyia, since it helps players shift their entire focus to building her Echoes with Crit DMG.

When the wielder’s Concerto Energy is consumed, gain 40% Basic DMG Bonus for 10s. This effect can be triggered once per second and ends when the wielder is switched off the field.
Other than being a good stat stick for Cartethyia,Red Springalso slightly buffs her Basic ATK DMG, which is a stat she needs. The second part of the weapon’s passive is locked behindCamellya’s mechanics inWuthering Waves, but Cartethyia still gets 24% Crit Rate and up to 30% Basic Attack DMG when using Red Spring, making it one of the best weapons for Cartethyia inWuthering Waves.
72% HP
Max HP is increased by 12%. 15s after casting Intro Skill or Basic Attacks, ignores 8% of the target’s DEF when dealing damage. If the target has at least 1 stack of Aero Erosion, the target’s DMG taken is amplified by 20%.
Defier’s Thorngives Cartethyia more than 80% extra HP, which is a huge buff to her kit. She heavily relies on HP and can transfer a lot of this extra HP into DPS. As Cartethyia’s signature weapon, Defier’s Thorn doesn’t stop at giving her HP; it also allows Cartethyia to ignore 8% of enemies’ DEF and buffs her Aero DMG if enemies have Aero Erosion on them.
Since it perfectly matches her and gives her exactly what she wants, Defier’s Thorn is Cartethyia’sbest weapon inWuthering Waves.
