The Staff of Scarlet Sands is a 5-star Polearm weapon added in the first half of Genshin Impact Version 3.1. This new industrial spear is a strong weapon that provides a ton of added Crit Rate while also giving tons of ATK through its passive. Get this weapon for Polearm characters who will also need to build some Elemental Mastery, and watch as your numbers fly high.

To obtain the Staff of Scarlet Sands, the weapon must be featured as an available 5-star weapon on the Weapon Event Wish banner. Unlike most 5-star weapons in the game, the Staff of Scarlet Sands is only available to pull through this method, meaning you cannot obtain this weapon in the Standard Event Wish or Character Event Wish banners. As of this writing, the Staff of Scarlet Sands has featured one time as a weapon in Genshin Impact during the first half of Version 3.1.

Is the Staff of Scarlet Sands any good?

The Staff of Scarlet Sands is a very strong Polearm weapon with high stats and a passive that encourages you to build Elemental Mastery. Elemental Mastery empowers the effects of reaction damage, such as Vaporize or Spread damage, and this weapon gives you quite a bit of both EM and ATK through its passive.

As a result, this weapon is a great fit for Polearm characters who enjoy building Elemental Mastery into their kits, such as Cyno or Xiangling. The high Crit Rate (44%) also makes this a generally good option for your Polearm characters who are low on that stat, allowing you to focus more on Crit DMG through your artifacts.
