Best Mountain-Bracing Bolt User

Mountain-Bracing Bolt is a great weapon for both on-field and off-field DPS characters who focus on using their Elemental Skills to deal damage. Currently, there are two characters who can fully utilize the Mountain-Bracing Bolt:

Kachina

The Mountain-Bracing Bolt is a great choice for the 4-star Geo character Kachina. She can even be seen using this weapon in the Natlan Archon Quest cutscene. Kachina's main damage comes from Turbo Twirly, which is part of her Elemental Skill. Equipping the Mountain-Bracing Bolt will greatly increase her elemental damage output and help with her need to recharge her Energy.

Emily

Emilie is an effective off-field DPS supporting character who relies heavily on her Elemental Skills and Elemental Reactions to deal damage. Equipping Emilie with Mountain-Bracing Bolt allows her to deal significant additional damage when using her Elemental Skills. Since she primarily operates off-field, you can keep your DPS characters on the enemy, increasing the overall damage output of the entire team.
