Appearance

Each weapon has two forms, one when it is initially summoned and another once it has reached a certain level of ascension. Once this occurs, the weapon will undergo a change in its design. Cinnabar Spindle has a mixture of gold, silver, and black coloration as well as some purple. Its handle is black with purple hearts along its black grip while the blade’s edges are silver with a black stripe running along its center.

Non-Ascended

In the center of the blade’s handguard is a dormant gemstone, along with the black markings along the blade

Ascended

The gemstone located in the center glows a bright golden color. The handle of the blade changes dramatically and the purple streak running along the sword grows in size and width.

FAQs

Is Cinnabar Spindle good?

For Albedo, it is bar none his BiS weapon due to working perfectly with his playstyle focusing almost entirely on his Elemental Skill. It is a sub par to poor weapon for just about everyone else, since no other sword wielding characters have such notable %DEF scaling in their kit

How does Cinnabar Spindle work?

Cinnabar Spindle will increase the Elemental Skill DMG is increased by 40-80% of the user’s DEF. The effect will be triggered no more than once every 1.5s and will be cleared 0.1s after the Elemental Skill deals DMG.. This means it is beneficial to stack as much DEF as is reasonable in order to boost the damage of your Elemental skill as high as possible

Is Cinnabar Spindle free?

Yes! Cinnabar Spindle costs no resources to attain. Only the completion of 1 Snowman during the “Shadows amidst Snowstorms event”

Final Thoughts

Cinnabar Spindle is about as narrowly focused as a weapon can get. For just about every character on the roster, it is a generally suboptimal weapon due to its low base ATK, %DEF substat, and passive that focuses exclusively on scaling Elemental Skill damage off of your total DEF. However, in the hands of Albedo there is truly nothing that compares, as the weapons weaknesses become irrelevant in his hands and synergize perfectly with his already high baseline of DEF.
