Genshin Impact’s new 4-star sword, Cursed Blade, is ready for the taking in Kaedehara Kazuha’s story quest.
The mysterious weapon will debut in the version 2.8 update, which permanently introduces the character’s first ever story quest in the game.
Kazuha is a 5-star Anemo character and a wandering samurai from Inazuma. We first see him as a trainee on captain Beidou’s Crux Fleet ship after he escaped from the Raiden Shogun’s vision hunt decree.
If you happen to get him on his running character banner, your next task is to level him up and find a good sword for him to use in battles. To help players with their weapon dilemma, HoYoverse is giving away Kazuha’s 4-star weapon for free.
