Weapon's effect

Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG increased by 12% (15%, 18%, 21%, 24%). After a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst hits an opponent, 1 stack of Ashen Nightstar will be gained for 12s. When 1/2/3/4 stacks of Ashen Nightstar are present, ATK is increased by 10% (12.5%, 15%, 17.5%, 20%)/20% (25%, 30%, 35%, 40%)/30% (37.5%, 45%, 52.5%, 60%)/48% (60%, 72%, 84%, 96%). The stack of Ashen Nightstar created by the Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst will be counted independently of the others.

Best for characters

Polar Star is the best-in-slot weapon for Tartaglia, as it’s his signature Bow. It’s designed to significantly boost his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst damage.

The weapon’s passive, “Sacrificial Embrace”, makes it a fantastic choice for characters who constantly use all parts of their kit to deal damage, such as Chascaor Tighnari.

Due to its specific passive that rewards varied attack methods, other Bow users might not fully utilize its potential. However, its excellent stats (high Base ATK and a CRIT Rate) still make it solid option for other bow characters.

How to obtain?

From Weapon Event Banner

You can get Polar Star from time-limited Weapon Event Banners by using your Intertwined Fate to make Wishes. These banners feature specific 5★ and 4★ weapons with higher drop rates. The pity system ensures you’ll get a 5★ weapon within 80 pulls and a 4★ within 10. Check current banner details to see which weapons are available, as they change every few weeks (usually 2 times per patch).
