Best characters who can use Mountain-Bracing Bolt

Mountain-Bracing Bolt is an ideal weapon for both on and off-field sub-DPS characters who rely on their Elemental Skill to deal damage. There are currently two such characters who can make the best of Mountain-Bracing Bolt. These characters are:

1) Kachina

Mountain-Bracing Bolt is perfectly suited for use by 4-Star Geo unit Kachina. In fact, Kachina can be seen using this weapon in the Natlan Archon Quest cutscenes as well. Her main source of damage comes from her Turbo Twirly, which is part of her Elemental Skill. Equipping Mountain-Bracing Bolt on her will not only significantly increase her Elemental DMG output, but also help with her Energy Recharge needs.

Kachina can also make great use of the weapon's Climbing Stamina Consumption reduction effect, allowing her to use her Turbo Twirly to climb for a longer duration without running out of stamina.

2) Emilie

Emilie is a good off-field sub-DPS character who mainly uses her Elemental Skill (coupled with Elemental Reactions) to deal damage. Equipping Mountain-Bracing Bolt on Emilie would mean that she can dish out a lot of extra damage while using her Elemental Skill. At the same time, since she is mainly an off-field character, you can continue to use your DPS characters to attack enemies, thus increasing the entire team's damage output.
