Hiyuki Best Weapon & Artifacts for 2026

Best Weapon for Hiyuki in 2026

Hiyuki's signature Sword is the best-in-slot weapon for Hiyuki. This weapon maximizes their damage output by synergizing with Glacio damage and their kit mechanics. It provides the optimal stat balance — whether that is ER for burst uptime, CRIT for raw damage, or EM for reaction teams.

F2P Weapon Option

Commando of Conviction (4★ Sword) is a strong alternative that performs well without spending primogems on the weapon banner. It provides competitive damage especially at refinement 5. For budget players, this weapon lets Hiyuki clear most content without sacrificing too much damage — the gap between Commando of Conviction (4★ Sword) and Hiyuki's signature Sword is usually manageable in endgame content.

Best Artifact Set for Hiyuki in 2026

Freezing Frost (5pc) Glacio DMG / Lampylumen Myriad (main echo) is the recommended set. This set provides the best balance of damage and utility for Hiyuki in most team compositions. The 4-piece set bonus works directly with their kit to amplify damage, while the 2-piece bonus covers their stat requirements early on.

Stats Priority

• Substats: CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Glacio DMG% > Energy Regen
• Main Stats: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Glacio DMG%

Getting the right main stats is the most important step — a correct main stat with bad substats will always outperform the wrong main stat. Once your main stats are correct, focus on improving substat rolls to optimize Hiyuki's damage further.

Rotation Guide

Build Concerto + buffs -> Intro -> blade combo + Resonance Liberation -> swap. Keep the frost uptime high.

Practicing this rotation is essential. Hiyuki relies on proper ability ordering to snapshot buffs, maintain uptime, and maximize their damage window. Watch your energy gauge and swap back to supports before Hiyuki's buff window expires.

Common Mistakes When Building This Character

• Using wrong main stat on artifacts — stat priority beats set bonus in most cases.
• Ignoring Energy Recharge requirements — not enough ER breaks the rotation.
• Copying whale builds — most guides assume 5-star weapons and high constellations.
• Over-investing in ATK when the character scales with HP, DEF, or EM instead.
• Not leveling the right talents first — some talent upgrades are trap investments.
• Neglecting the team — Hiyuki performs best in Hiyuki + Zhezhi (Glacio coord) + Shorekeeper / Verina., so build around their support needs.
