Genshin Impact Fractured Halo | Release Date, Stats, and More

Summary:

Genshin Impact will release new characters and weapons in Version 5.8, including 5-star character Ineffa and her signature weapon, the Fractured Halo polearm.

Fractured Halo is designed specifically with the new Lunar-Charged reaction in mind, seeing as Ineffa is the first character to be able to proc this reaction.

Players can obtain this weapon through pulling on the Weapon Event Banner during 5.8.

Ineffa is almost here, and so is her signature weapon. Genshin Impact Fractured Halo is her 5-star polearm releasing alongside her once Version 5.8 goes live. This weapon brings new mechanics with its passive, focusing on the brand-new Lunar-Charged reaction that’s part of Ineffa’s kit. Read on to know more details about this upcoming weapon.

Release Date and Availability

Mark your calendars for July 30, 2025. That’s when the Genshin Impact Fractured Halo drops in the first phase of version 5.8. You’ll find it featured on the Epitome Invocation weapon event banner, where it shares the spotlight with Starcaller’s Watch. This banner will last only until August 19, so make sure you have enough Primogems or Intertwined Fates prepared.

Since this weapon won’t appear in the standard banner pool, you must specifically pull on the weapon even banner. Set the Epitomized Path toward it and hope it comes home early. Otherwise, be ready to pull for the guarantee if you lose the 50/50.

Weapon Stats and Performance

As a 5-star weapon, it’s already expected that Fractured Halo would pack a punch. At the maximum of level 90, it has 608 of Base ATK which is on the more standard side. However, what’s more impressive is the Crit. DMG substat, reaching 66.2% at level 90.

Meanwhile, it also has the passive effect, ‘Purifying Crown.’ This basically boosts your equipping character’s ATK by 24% after they use an Elemental Skill or Burst. This effect lasts for 20 seconds. Additionally, when said equipping character produces a shield within this duration, they will gain another effect called Electrifying Edict. This one will boost your whole team’s Lunar-Charged damage by 40%.

These percentages scale depending on the weapon refinement level, but there’s no information about it as of now.

Weapon Upgrade Materials

The Genshin Impact Fractured Halo needs the following materials for leveling up and ascension:

- Blazing Sacrificial Heart items in various rarities; 5 Terror, 14 Hesitance, 14 Resolve, and 6 Splendor (farmed from Ancient Watcher domain in Natlan on Mondays/Thursdays/Sundays)
- Fang materials in various rarities; 15 Juvenile, 23 Seasoned, 27 Tyrant (from Saurian enemies)
- Shell materials in various rarities; 23 Cold-Cracked Shellshard, 27 Warm Back-Shell, 41 Blazing Prismshell (from Furnace Shell Mountain Weasels)
Mora: 225,000 Mora

Best Characters for Fractured Halo

Naturally, Ineffa serves as the ideal user for her signature weapon. Since only Ineffa can generate Lunar-Charged reactions in the current game state, she maximizes the weapon’s potential better than any other character.

Nevertheless, other shield-generating polearm users can also benefit from the Fractured Halo. Characters like Zhongli and Thoma can trigger the Electrifying Edict effect, though they require Ineffa in the party to make full use of the Lunar-Charged damage bonus.

For players who don’t have Ineffa, the weapon still functions as a strong stat stick thanks to its high CRIT DMG substat and ATK bonus passive.

Conclusion

The Genshin Impact Fractured Halo is yet another reason to look forward to Version 5.8. If you’re planning to pull for Ineffa, or want to do big Lunar-Charged damage, then this weapon is a must-have. What do you think of this upcoming polearm? While it serves primarily as Ineffa’s signature weapon, its strong stats make it viable for other characters as well. Players should prepare their primogems and ascension materials if they plan to add this powerful weapon to their arsenal when version 5.8 launches.
