Let me tell you, as a seasoned traveler who has seen countless weapons come and go since 2020, the Beacon of the Reed Sea isn't just a weapon—it's a STATEMENT! I remember pulling for it back in 2023, and even now in 2026, this glorious golden claymore still makes my Dehya feel like an unstoppable desert queen. Seriously, who needs a shield when you have this beast in your hands? The sheer power it unleashes is enough to make any Abyss floor tremble!

What Makes This Claymore So Unbelievably Powerful?

I mean, just look at those stats! This is a 5-Star Claymore that debuted in Version 3.5 as Dehya's signature weapon, and let me be clear—it's not for the faint-hearted. We're talking about a weapon that gives you:

• Base ATK of 46 (solid foundation for destruction!)

• 7.2% CRIT Rate right out of the box (hello, consistent crits!)

• ATK increases of 20% for 8 seconds when your Elemental Skill hits OR when you take damage (talk about turning pain into power!)

• 32% Max HP boost when you're not hiding behind a shield (real warriors don't need shields!)

And the best part? These effects work even when your character is off-field! Isn't that just incredible? Why would you settle for anything less when you can have a weapon that basically says "I'll protect myself AND hit harder when you hurt me"?

How I Conquered Teyvat to Get This Masterpiece

Getting this beauty wasn't easy—oh no! You need to wish on those limited-time Weapon Banners and pray to the Archons. But here's my pro tip: always use the Epitomized Path system! Seriously, why leave it to chance when you can guarantee this monster after (potentially) 80 wishes? As of 2026, it still appears on banners occasionally, and whenever it does, I tell all my friends: "DROP EVERYTHING AND PULL!"

If you're lucky enough to have Dehya (and let's be real, who doesn't want the Flame-Mane in their party?), this weapon is practically mandatory. It unlocks her true potential in ways that will make your jaw drop!

The Grueling (But Worth It!) Ascension Journey

Now, leveling this bad boy to 90? That's where the real adventure begins! You think getting the weapon is hard? Wait until you see the farming list:

Ascension Phase	Faded Red Satin	Scorching Might Material	Shell Material
20→40	3x	5x Echo	5x Desiccated
40→50	12x	5x Remnant Glow	18x Desiccated
50→60	9x Trimmed Silk	9x Remnant Glow	9x Sturdy
60→70	14x Trimmed Silk	5x Dream	18x Sturdy
70→80	9x Rich Brocade	9x Dream	14x Marked
80→90	18x Rich Brocade	6x Olden Days	27x Marked

Where to find all this stuff? Easy!

• Red Satin items: Beat up those Eremite enemies (they're everywhere in Sumeru!)

• Scorching Might materials: Conquer the Domain of Forgery: Leading Karma

• Shell materials: Hunt down those terrifying Consecrated Beasts

It took me weeks of dedicated farming, but let me ask you this: isn't true power worth the effort?

My Top Picks for Beacon Wielders in 2026

This weapon isn't just for Dehya—oh no! I've tested it on EVERY claymore user, and here are my absolute favorite pairings:

🏆 S-Tier Users (These characters become MONSTERS):

1. Dehya (5★ Pyro) - Her signature weapon for a reason!

2. Diluc (5★ Pyro) - Turns the Darknight Hero into a CRIT machine

3. Eula (5★ Cryo) - Physical damage? More like PHYSICAL OBLITERATION!

👍 A-Tier Users (Still absolutely fantastic):

• Arataki Itto (5★ Geo) - Who needs DEF when you have this much ATK?

• Razor (4★ Electro) - Makes our wolf boy hit like a 5-star

💡 Pro Team Building Tip:

Pair your Beacon wielder with a healer instead of a shielder! Why? Because that 32% HP boost when shield-less is too good to pass up. I usually run Bennett or Kokomi with my Beacon users for maximum unkillable DPS action.

Final Thoughts From a Beacon Veteran

Three years after its release, and I'm still using this weapon daily. The combination of CRIT Rate, ATK buffs, and HP increase creates what I call the "Golden Triangle of Destruction." It rewards aggressive playstyles, punishes enemies for daring to hit you, and looks absolutely stunning while doing it.

Remember: This weapon teaches you to embrace the chaos of battle. No hiding behind shields—just pure, unadulterated power. So if you see it on a banner in 2026, ask yourself: "Do I want to be a cautious player, or do I want to be a LEGEND?"

Happy hunting, fellow travelers! May your wishes be blessed and your crits be plentiful! 🎯🔥
