Hsin is a 5-star Electro Rectifier DPS who deals most of her damage through Resonance Skill DMG, even when those hits come from Heavy Attacks or her finishing casts. Her best weapons either amplify that Resonance Skill damage directly or push her raw ATK high enough to make up the difference. She plays two ways, Electro Flare and Unison, but her gear stays the same across both, so the weapon choice comes down to one question: how much of the passive actually lines up with her rotation.
Quick answer: Equip Blooming Jadehaven, her signature Rectifier. If you don’t have it, use Lethean Elegy or Stringmaster; Cosmic Ripples and Fusion Accretion are stat-stick fallbacks.
Hsin weapon comparison (Level 90)
All five options are Rectifiers. The 5-star picks split between Crit Rate substats and one heavy ATK stick, which changes how you build your Echo substats afterward.
| Weapon | Base ATK | Substat | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blooming Jadehaven | 588 | Crit Rate 24.3% | Maximum personal damage |
| Lethean Elegy | 588 | Crit Rate 24.3% | Signature alternative |
| Stringmaster | 500 | Crit Rate 35.9% | Easiest Crit build |
| Cosmic Ripples | 500 | ATK 54% | Free 5-star placeholder |
| Fusion Accretion | 463 | ATK 18% | 4-star budget fallback |
Blooming Jadehaven: Hsin’s signature Rectifier
Blooming Jadehaven closely matches Hsin’s damage mechanics. At R1, its passive adds 12% All-Attribute DMG Bonus. When she deals Electro Flare or activates a Unison Response, Resonance Skill DMG increases by 36% and bypasses 10% of the target’s Electro RES. While Hsin is active, nearby enemies take 30% more Electro Flare DMG for 30 seconds; the effect refreshes every 0.1 seconds. Effects with the same name apply only at their strongest value.
The 36% increase applies to her full kit, including Realm Wanderer, Illumining Form attacks, and Pillars Across Heaven. Its Crit Rate substat makes Echo tuning easier, and no Rectifier has previously offered Electro RES ignore. In Electro Flare teams, the field-wide boost increases the damage of every Flare tick. For most players investing in Hsin, S0R1 is the sensible stopping point.
Best alternatives if you skip her signature
Lethean Elegy is the strongest non-signature option. It shares the same 588 Base ATK and 24.3% Crit Rate, so your Echo targets stay identical. Its passive raises ATK by 12%, then grants a 32% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus, 32% Echo Skill DMG Amplification, and 8% DEF ignore for 12 seconds after Echo Skill DMG. Hsin does not use the Echo Skill portion as well as the weapon’s intended owner, but the Resonance Skill line and DEF ignore fit her damage profile cleanly.
Stringmaster offers the highest Crit Rate of any Rectifier at 35.9%, which dramatically reduces the pressure to roll Crit Rate on your Echoes. Its passive adds a 12% Attribute DMG Bonus and stacks 12% ATK per Resonance Skill hit up to twice, plus another 12% ATK while Hsin is off the field. That off-field bonus works because Edict keeps summoning Soaring Pillars as Coordinated Attacks after she swaps out. It trails Lethean Elegy on direct synergy but is a very comfortable weapon if you already own it.
Cosmic Ripples works as a stopgap. Its substats provide 54% ATK and 12.8% Energy Regen, but its passive builds Basic Attack DMG, an effect Hsin makes little use of. Use it to keep her going as you save for a stronger weapon.
Fusion Accretion is the go-to practical 4-star. A Resonance Skill cast returns 6 Resonance Energy and increases ATK by 10% for 16 seconds, with a 20-second cooldown. The energy gain helps maintain Liberation uptime and keeps her Formshift windows on schedule. Though its damage ceiling is far below the 5-star options, it merits Level 90 investment if you plan to use Hsin without her signature initially.
How your weapon changes your Echo stats
The weapon’s substat decides your 4-Cost Echo main stat. Because Hsin runs a 4-3-3-1-1 layout with 3-Cost Electro DMG plus ATK% and 1-Cost double ATK%, the only variable is how you balance Crit.
- With Blooming Jadehaven, Lethean Elegy, or Stringmaster, run a Crit DMG 4-Cost since the weapon already supplies Crit Rate.
- With Cosmic Ripples or Fusion Accretion, a Crit Rate 4-Cost is safer because neither weapon provides any Crit.
- Substat priority stays Crit Rate / Crit DMG > ATK% > Resonance Skill DMG, with Energy Regen around 125% as a comfort target.
The 5-piece Heart of Sworn Vigil set grants extra Crit Rate and Electro DMG when Hsin applies Electro Flare, gains Unison, or triggers Unison Response, so leaning further into Crit DMG usually balances the build better once that set is active.
Prioritize getting Hsin, and only pull for her signature afterward if doing so won’t leave you short of a required teammate. Any other Rectifier still lets her perform; it just shifts her from a top Electro DPS to a reliable contributor.
