Genshin Impact 5.3 Leaks: New 5-Star Weapons

Note: The information in this article is based on leaks and is not official. The numbers, text, and other information are subject to change before official release.

After the Genshin Impact Version 5.3 beta came out, leakers began sharing information about what players can expect from the upcoming update. Alongside information about the 4 new characters, events, weekly boss, and more, we also got information about two new 5-star weapons that we’ll be able to pull for in the new version. The two weapons are known as the [A Thousand Blazing Suns] and the [Starcaller's Watch], which are also the signature weapons for Mavuika and Citlali, respectively. Below you can find more information about these two new weapons, such as their stats and effects.

Mavuika’s Signature Weapon

Stats are based on Level 90 and Refinement Rank 1
Name: A Thousand Blazing Suns
Type	Rarity	Base ATK	CRIT Rate
Claymore	5-star	741	11%
Effect: Sunset Reignites the Dawn
Gain the "Scorching Brilliance" effect when using an Elemental Skill or Burst: CRIT DMG increased by 20% and ATK increased by 28% for 6s. This effect can trigger once every 10s. While a "Scorching Brilliance" instance is active, its duration is increased by 2s after Normal or Charged attacks deal Elemental DMG. This effect can trigger once every second, and the max duration increase is 6s. Additionally, when the equipping character is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, "Scorching Brilliance" effects are increased by 75%, and its duration will only count down when the equipping character is on the field.

Mavuika’s signature weapon is known as the [A Thousand Blazing Suns], and it is a 5-star Claymore. This Claymore has the highest ATK stat out of any Claymore in the game, and although its Crit Rate% is nothing groundbreaking, its effect certainly is. A 35% increase in Crit DMG and a 49% increase in ATK is major. The Claymore’s effect makes it so that any Natlan character that uses Claymores will be able to greatly benefit from it, and even if not from Natlan, any Claymore user will be able to benefit from the sheer stat stick that the [A Thousand Blazing Suns] is.

Citlali’s Signature Weapon

Stats are based on Level 90 and Refinement Rank 1
Name: Starcaller's Watch
Type	Rarity	Base ATK	Elemental Mastery
Catalyst	5-star	542	265
Effect: Bright Dawn Overture
Increases Elemental Mastery by 100. Gain the "Mirror of Night" effect within 15s after the equipping character creates a shield: The current active party member deals 28% increased DMG to nearby opponents. You can gain the "Mirror of Night" effect once every 14s.

Citlali’s signature weapon is known as the [Starcaller's Watch], and it is a 5-star Catalyst. This weapon features a decent ATK stat with a good Elemental Mastery main stat, which can be useful to any characters that benefit from Elemental Mastery. In addition, the weapon’s effect gives an additional boost to Elemental Mastery. Although the DMG boost portion of the weapon’s effect can only be activated if the equipping character can create shields, the Elemental Mastery boost alone makes this a good weapon that can be used on some characters.
