Base ATK: 565

How to get the Earth Shaker

The Earth Shaker is a craftable 4-star claymore. You will require the weapon's blueprint to craft it, which can be purchased from Arlom, the blacksmith in Natlan. You can craft this claymore by going to a blacksmith after you obtain the blueprint.

After acquiring the blueprint, you will need the following items to craft the weapon:

Borderland Claymore Billet
Condessence Crystal x 50
White Iron Chunk x 50
Mora x 500

It is possible to obtain the Borderland Claymore Billet, a weapon-forging material, by defeating Natlan's weekly Trounce Domains. Another way to obtain this material is to combine two Dream Solvents with a Midlander or Northlander Claymore Billet.

You can also obtain the weapon and its Refinement Rank 1 Ascension materials by playing the "Off we go to the Nation of Pyro!" web event.

Best characters to use the Earth Shaker

As mentioned above, the Earth Shaker can be a decent free-to-play 4-star weapon for any claymore-wielding character, especially ones who deal a majority of damage from their Elemental Skill.

With that in mind, Diluc, Navia, Kinich, and Gaming are some of the best options available for using this weapon. They are all main damage-dealing DPS characters who deal a good amount of their damage from their Elemental Skill.

These characters can make good use of the high Base ATK main stat as well as the ATK secondary stat. Diluc and Gaming are Pyro characters themselves, so they can easily trigger the weapon's passive effect. Kinich and Navia will also be able to utilize the weapon's passive if you use a Pyro support unit like Bennett or Xiangling in their team.

It is worth mentioning that, though not the best, this weapon can be a decent option for Sayu as well. Sayu is a healer, and her healing scales off of her ATK. Since the weapon has a high Base ATK, Sayu can make good use of it.

Unfortunately, she will not benefit much from the weapon's passive effect as she is not a main damage dealer and her Elemental Skill does not have high damage scalings.
