Who can use the Cinnabar Brooch
The Cinnabar Spindle is a niche sword due to its unique defense sub-stat and passive that scales with the character's defense. Most characters reduce attack by default, which means they won't have enough defense to make the sword stats viable compared to existing options.
Overall, the Cinnabar Spit is Albedo's best weapon due to its split scaling mechanic, which favors defense for its elemental skill and attack for its elemental burst. The sword's stats are a direct buff to its elemental skill, making it an incredible weapon when your Albedo is built as a Sub-DPS or Geo battery mount.
