Aemeath is a Fusion sword user who deals the vast majority of her damage through Resonance Liberation skills—specifically her ultimate Heavenfall Edict: Finale and her enhanced Seraphic Duet attacks. Choosing the right weapon means prioritizing tools that amplify these burst moments while providing solid attack and critical stats as a foundation.
Quick answer: Everbright Polestar is her signature weapon and the clear best choice. If you don't have it, Emerald of Genesis offers the most reliable alternative by improving energy regeneration and rotation flow.
Everbright Polestar: The Signature Pick
Everbright Polestar stands apart because it directly addresses what makes Aemeath powerful. The weapon grants 12% all-attribute damage bonus across the board, but its passive is where the real value lies. When you inflict Tune Rupture or Fusion Burst on enemies, your Resonance Liberation damage ignores 32% of their defense and 10% of their Fusion resistance for 8 seconds.
Defense and resistance ignore are among the rarest damage multipliers in Wuthering Waves. Against high-defense enemies, this effect far outpaces simple attack or damage bonus increases. Combined with a base attack of 588 and 24.3% critical rate, Everbright Polestar creates the perfect foundation for her burst-focused playstyle. The weapon essentially elevates her core skills to an entirely new damage tier.
Emerald of Genesis: Best 5-Star Alternative
If Everbright Polestar eludes you, Emerald of Genesis becomes your most versatile 5-star option. It rolls with 588 base attack and 24.3% critical rate, matching Everbright's stats. The passive grants 12.8% energy regeneration and increases attack by 6% when you cast Resonance Skill, stacking up to twice for a 10-second duration.
The energy regeneration bonus directly solves Aemeath's biggest operational bottleneck: energy management. Without sufficient energy regen, you risk getting skill-locked and unable to execute your burst cycles. Emerald of Genesis frees you from that anxiety, letting you cast your abilities more frequently and smoothly throughout an encounter. While it won't push a single burst to the absolute limit like her signature weapon, the stability and consistent damage output across multiple rotations often translates to higher practical damage in real combat.
Red Spring: High Ceiling, High Skill Floor
Red Spring is Camellya's signature weapon, but it works on Aemeath if you're willing to adapt your playstyle. It increases attack by 12% and grants 10% basic attack damage bonus for 14 seconds when dealing basic attack damage, stacking up to three times. When you consume Concerto Energy, you gain 40% basic damage bonus for 10 seconds.
The weapon excels when you prioritize normal attacks and frequent character swaps. The ideal rotation involves building stacks with Aemeath's basic attacks, switching to a teammate to trigger the Concerto Energy bonus, then quickly returning to Aemeath to chain into skills and burst within that 10-second window. This approach demands excellent timing and supporting characters who can buff quickly. If you have strong mechanics and a well-built team, Red Spring can deliver exceptional damage—but it requires more effort than Emerald of Genesis or Everbright Polestar.
Feather Edge: Best 4-Star Option
For players with limited resources, Feather Edge is the premier 4-star choice. It provides 413 base attack and 20.3% critical rate. The passive is straightforward: casting Resonance Liberation increases attack by 7.2% and grants 10.8% Resonance Liberation damage bonus for 15 seconds.
The 10.8% Resonance Liberation bonus directly amplifies her two most important skills—Heavenfall Edict: Finale and Seraphic Duet. Among 4-star weapons, it's the only one that consistently boosts her core burst damage. Since Aemeath's entire rotation revolves around initiating with her ultimate, triggering this effect is effortless. For new players or anyone without a suitable 5-star alternative, Feather Edge delivers best-in-slot performance at 4-star rarity.
Other 4-Star Weapons
Somnoire Anchor offers 463 base attack and 18.2% attack bonus. It grants one stack of Hiss when dealing damage (once per second), with each stack increasing attack by 4% for 3 seconds and stacking up to 10 times. At 10 stacks, you gain 12% critical rate. This weapon favors sustained on-field time and works if you're comfortable staying in combat longer.
Commando of Conviction provides 413 base attack and 30.4% attack bonus. Its passive increases attack by 30% for 15 seconds when you cast an Intro Skill. This works best in team compositions where you frequently swap characters and benefit from the intro skill buff window, but it doesn't directly enhance your burst damage like Feather Edge does.
Stat Priorities and Build Direction
Regardless of which weapon you choose, prioritize critical rate and critical damage on your echoes and artifacts. Aemeath scales primarily with attack, so attack percentage substats are your next priority. Resonance Liberation damage bonus is valuable but comes secondary to crit stats—solid critical values ensure a strong damage floor even without specific multipliers.
The Trailblazing Star echo set, introduced in version 3.1, pairs perfectly with any of these weapons. It grants 10% Fusion damage as a 2-piece bonus and adds 20% critical rate plus 20% Fusion damage bonus for 8 seconds when you inflict Fusion Burst or Tune Rupture. This synergy makes Trailblazing Star the obvious echo choice for maximizing her potential.
