Genshin Impact: Prototype Starglitter How to get it, stats, and ascension materials

Recommended Videos

The Prototype Starglitter is a 4-star Polearm available to all players. While there is no special unlock requirement, obtaining the actual weapon itself will require some grinding. The sword needs a Northlander Polearm Billet, only available through weekly boss drops or as quest/exploration rewards.

Once you obtain a Northlander Claymore Billet, you can use it to forge either the Prototype Starglitter or Crescent Pike. The Prototype Starglitter is a free-to-play alternative for the Favonius Lance, a 4-star weapon you can pull from the Gacha banners.

Is the Prototype Starglitter any good?

The Prototype Starglitter is a free-to-play alternative to the Favonius Lance and other Energy Recharge polearms. The passive is largely useless for most Polearm characters who require Energy Recharge, and it’s a simple stat stick.

Use this weapon for characters like Xiangling, Raiden Shogun, Zhongli, etc., for a free-to-play option. If you don’t have enough Favonius Lances to go around or other Energy Recharge polearms, this is a solid alternative while you work on getting better weapons.
