Silver Light is the free 4-star sword tied to a 7.1 event, and it lands as one of the more practical options for Vesna, the 5-star Anemo sword user who deals Stellar-Swirl damage. It leans on Elemental Mastery, which fits Vesna’s Swirl-focused kit without asking you to pull on a banner.
Quick answer: Silver Light at R5 gives Base ATK 510, ATK +41.3%, and up to 208 Elemental Mastery. On Vesna it ranks 15th of 25 swords tested, with 352,944 Burst and 283,244 Skill damage.
Silver Light stats and passive ability
Silver Light is a 4-star sword with a secondary stat of ATK%, which is one of Vesna’s priority stats. Its passive, Radiance on the Water, feeds Elemental Mastery every time you cast an Elemental Skill.
| Attribute | Value at Lv. 90 |
|---|---|
| Base ATK | 510 |
| Secondary stat | ATK 41.3% |
| Passive | Radiance on the Water |
| EM per stack (R5) | 104 (max 2 stacks = 208) |
The passive grants Elemental Mastery for 12 seconds after you use an Elemental Skill. It stacks up to two times, and each stack runs on its own timer. At R1 it gives 52 EM per stack for 104 total, and at R5 it climbs to 104 per stack for a full 208 EM when both stacks are live.

Silver Light R5 damage compared to other swords on Vesna
Across a 25-weapon test against Potapo’s Solidarity (Lv. 103), Silver Light R5 sits in the middle of the pack. The numbers below cover Vesna’s Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill damage, so you can see exactly where the free sword lands.
| Sword | Burst | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| Beyond the Chrysalis R1 | 461,853 | 372,247 |
| Whitelake Frostfeather R1 | 421,886 | 340,058 |
| New Bough R5 | 408,458 | 325,806 |
| Finale of the Deep R5 | 379,686 | 280,510 |
| Silver Light R5 | 352,944 | 283,244 |
| Skyward Blade R1 | 327,643 | 244,725 |
| Amenoma Kageuchi R5 | 300,568 | 241,783 |
| The Black Sword R5 | 277,315 | 224,644 |
| Silver Light R1 | 264,005 | 208,770 |
Beyond the Chrysalis is Vesna’s signature 5-star sword and tops the chart on both metrics, driven by its CRIT DMG stat and its cycling Winds effects. It stays the ceiling for the build, though it is not required to clear content.
New Bough is the strongest 4-star result, and it edges out several 5-star swords. It is a gacha weapon banner drop, so it is a solid consolation if you miss the signature but not something to chase on its own.
Silver Light R5 holds the middle at 15th overall, clearing options like Skyward Blade, Amenoma Kageuchi, and The Black Sword. The gap between R1 and R5 is large, so refining the free copies matters. As a no-cost event sword, it delivers enough for Vesna’s Stellar-Swirl damage to hold up.
Best artifacts and stats for Vesna with Silver Light
Silver Light pairs best with the Scarlet Proof 4-piece set, which lines up directly with Vesna’s Stellar-Swirl damage. The 2-piece gives ATK +18%, and the 4-piece adds 16% CRIT Rate and 40% Stellar Swirl reaction damage for 10 seconds after you trigger a Stellar Swirl.
If you are not running another Anemo character, Viridescent Venerer is a close alternative that shreds Anemo and Cryo resistance for the team. It usually trails Scarlet Proof by only 1-2%.
For main stats, aim for ATK% on the Sands and Goblet, with Elemental Mastery as the backup, and CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG on the Circlet. Substat order runs CRIT Rate, then CRIT DMG, then ATK%, then EM, then Energy Recharge.
- ATK: 2,600+
- EM: 100+
- Energy Recharge: 100%–130%
- CRIT Rate: 69–84%
- CRIT DMG: 180%+
Scarlet Proof already hands you 16% CRIT Rate, so 84% is the practical ceiling before you overcap. Running two other Cryo units adds another 15% CRIT Rate through Cryo Resonance, which lowers your CRIT Rate targets further.
Endgame results with Silver Light R5
Silver Light R5 was enough to carry Vesna through demanding endgame content. In Spiral Abyss Floor 12, the team of Vesna, Faruzan, Cryo Traveler, and Diona cleared the first half of Chambers 1 through 3 without trouble, facing a Battle-Hardened Chimeric Burrowbeast, an Immortal Construct, and a Battle-Hardened Domovoy Sculptor.
On Fearless difficulty, the same team also completed Stygian Onslaught: Luminous Battlefront. Vesna defeated the Lv. 105 Battle-Hardened Domovoy Sculptor: Gale Hewing in 110 seconds, finishing 10 seconds inside the 120-second target and improving the previous best of 112 seconds.
The takeaway is straightforward. Silver Light will not match Vesna’s signature sword, but at R5 with a Scarlet Proof build it clears Floor 12 and Fearless-tier Stygian content comfortably, which makes it a reliable free pick while you wait on a stronger weapon.
