Whether you already own the Mistsplitter Reforged or plan on gacha-pulling it for the first time, understanding which characters are the best candidates to wield this legendary blade is essential for reaching this sword’s maximum potential in Genshin Impact. As a five-star weapon, there is no way to obtain the Mistsplitter Reforged outside of its featured Weapon Banner, making it quite a rarity. However, the boost in damage output it can provide for your compatible units can be moderately substantial, making a big difference on the battlefield. As a result, the hefty Primogem investment you might have to put into getting this weapon is worth it for meta-performance.
Without a doubt, the two best characters for the Mistsplitter Reforged in Genshin Impact are Ayaka and Bennett. Ayaka is a given since this five-star blade is and has always been her signature weapon. So there’s no detailed explanation that needs to go into why she is the perfect fit for the sword.

As for why the Mistsplitter Reforged is ideal for Bennett, you need to know the mechanics of his Elemental Burst in Genshin Impact. More specifically, Bennett’s Fantastic Voyage is capable of buffing his allies inside of the Burst’s radius. The ATK buff is based on his base ATK, comprised of his character and weapon’s ATK. Accordingly, an ultra-high-damage sword like the Mistsplitter Reforged will significantly boost not only his personal ATK but also his party members whenever Fantastic Voyage has been activated.
While Ayaka and Bennett are the best characters to equip the Mistsplitter Reforged in Genshin Impact, there are several more characters who can optimally utilize the sword if you don’t have their corresponding best weapons. For instance, Alhaitham is a good candidate for the five-star blade if you don’t have Light of Foliar Incision. Likewise, Ayato, without his signature Haran Geppaku Futsu, will offer excellent damage numbers when equipped with the Mistsplitter Reforged. Besides Bennett, we recommend avoiding giving any other four-star units this sword, but Xingqiu can be a solid pick, depending on the build or role you are using him for. If you plan on using Xingqiu more on-field, then Mistsplitter Reforged might grant more DPS in combat, depending on the enemy type and your party setup.
