Sword of Descension was introduced as a Playstation Network exclusive weapon in version 1.0. This weapon was also later made available to other devices simply by linking their account to the Playstation Network by logging in through a PlayStation from version 2.1. With an ATK substat, it still stands strong due to its strong passive despite the fact that you can not refine this weapon. While it suffers from low Base ATK on other units, equipping it on the Traveler will help them deal a burst of damage once in a while.
This sword appears to those who have challenged Teyvat and the last person who drew the sword was trying to protect the world from the ones who tried to doom it. The one who draws this sword searches for the truth of this world and the answers buried within it. No matter what your purpose is, at the end of the day, this sword can be a trusty companion.

Story
This is a proof that you came to this world via special means.
Only one who has challenged the "world" may wield such a sword.
When this sword was last drawn, humankind was trying to preserve a doomed world.
That world was their last and only home.
This sword was drawn to defy that fate of destruction.
—But to draw steel against the law of universe that "all who exist must one day perish..."
Surely it must have seemed the height of folly.
But really, when one is faced with such a final fate, when up against the star-devouring darkness,
What weapon would be fitting for one to wield? It can only be a sword. If nothing else, it shall bear the memory of those who faced their ends without fear...
When you wield this sword, you search for the answers hidden within this world.
In this world, such a weapon may be used without any problem.
Not for the fact that the universe casts no shadows here, and certainly not simply because it suits this world's aesthetics...
But because this search is perhaps why you descended to this realm in the first place.
When the past is dust, and the future arrives,
As the present fades away, you can trust to this blade's edge.
Having a weapon for self-defense is, of course, a good idea. After all, this one was forged for one such as yourself.
Someone who challenges and pursues.
Take it, walk this earth,
And cut open all the challenges and mysteries that it has to offer you.
Trivia
- Sword of Descension is the only sword which has a character-specific passive.
FAQs
Can I still get sword of Descension?
You can always get the Sword of Descension by linking your genshin impact account to a PS4 or PS5.
Can I use sword of Descension on PC?
While you can use the weapon, you can’t utilize its passive on pc because it is PSN exclusive.
Is sword of Descension good on Ayaka?
Using Sword of Descension on any character apart from the Traveler is a really bad idea due to the incredibly low base ATK that it offers. Ayaka needs a lot of ATK, making this weapon mostly useless.
Final Thoughts
While this weapon can be good on traveler, it is pretty useless on most other characters. Due to the same, it is recommended not to level this weapon as it is a massive waste of resources. Traveler can obtain the same or similar effects from other weapons as well, making this weapon truly useless.
