Genshin Impact, the enthralling action role-playing game, constantly intrigues players with its diverse array of weapons. One such weapon that stands out is the Akuoumaru, a 4-star Claymore, which has garnered considerable attention among the community.
This guide will dig into the details of Akuoumaru, exploring its unique characteristics and acquisition methods in the game.
What is Akuoumaru in Genshin Impact?
Akuoumaru is not just a weapon of power but also of beauty. It undergoes a visual transformation upon ascension, featuring a striking mix of silver, blue, and turquoise colors, with the blue along its edge turning a deeper shade, reminiscent of the ocean’s waves.
Immersed in the rich lore of Genshin Impact, Akuoumaru’s history is tied to a mighty general of Watatsumi, known for his formidable prowess in battle and his self-taught swordsmanship skills. The weapon embodies the spirit of the general, symbolizing both his valor and the dreams of his people.

Akuoumaru’s distinctive trait lies in its passive ability to boost Elemental Burst damage. This enhancement is directly proportional to the energy cost of the user’s entire party. Thus, it is especially beneficial for characters with high burst costs.
Refinement Levels and Effects:
- Level 1: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 0.12% per energy point, up to 40%.
- Level 2: Boosts to 0.15% per energy point, capping at 50%.
- Level 3: Enhances to 0.18%, with a maximum of 60%.
- Level 4: Increases to 0.21% per point, up to 70%.
- Level 5: Augments to 0.24% per energy point, achieving a maximum of 80% increase.
How to Get Akuoumaru in Genshin Impact?
Obtaining this weapon is exclusively possible through the Epitome Invocation event. Unlike 5-star event exclusives, there’s no guaranteed way to obtain it, making it a matter of luck and resources.
The ascension process of Akuoumaru involves various materials and significant improvements in stats. Players will need items like Coral Branch of a Distant Sea, Concealed Claw, and more, amounting to a total of 150,000 Mora.
While powerful in its niche, Akuoumaru requires thoughtful team composition. It’s most effective with characters having high burst damage output and teams with a high average burst cost. Sayu, with her 80 energy cost burst, emerges as an ideal candidate for wielding Akuoumaru.
