Genshin Item Description
Prototype Archaic is a remarkable Claymore in Genshin Impact, embodying both historical significance and formidable combat prowess. With a base attack ranging from 44 to 565, it enhances ATK by 6% to 27.6%, making it a valuable asset for any warrior. Its unique effect, which triggers an Area of Effect Physical DMG upon normal attacks, allows players to unleash devastating strikes that can turn the tide of battle. Released on September 28, 2020, this weapon stands as a testament to the innovative spirit of Liyue's master craftsmen.
Crafted from the finest steel and adorned with a hilt made from rare ore, the Prototype Archaic may appear understated with its dull, blotchy gold finish, but its true strength lies in its weighty yet manageable design. The lore surrounding its creation speaks of the Yun family forge and master craftsman Han Wu, who sought to revolutionize blade design after a great disaster. The blade's elegance and power were recognized by a martial artist who marveled at its ability to decimate a bamboo forest with a single swing. This blend of artistry and functionality not only makes Prototype Archaic a coveted weapon but also a symbol of Liyue's rich heritage, worthy of its name and the legacy it has inspired in countless greatswords that followed.
