SourceQuest, Event Wish
Secret Silver's Testament
Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 20~40%. When the equipping character's Energy Capacity does not exceed 60/40, their Elemental Burst DMG is increased by an additional 16%/28%~32%/56%.
Great for buffing Kaeya's Burst. He can't activate the second level buff, but a total of 36% Burst DMG Bonus is still substantial.

An End Sublime
When using an Elemental Skill, ATK will be increased by 12~24% for 15s, and a Bond of Life worth 25% of Max HP will be granted. This effect can be triggered once every 10s. When the Bond of Life is cleared, a maximum of 150~300 ATK will be gained based on 2.4~4.8% of the total amount of the Life Bond cleared, lasting for 15s.
Nice craftable weapon. Might need a good healer to clear the Bond of Life reliably to activate the buff.
Base ATK454
Energy Recharge+61.3%
SourceWish
Windfall
CRIT hits have a 60~100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12~6s.
ER stat helps with Burst uptime. Can also provide Energy for the team but need a good level of CRIT Rate to reliably trigger the effect.
Base ATK510
Elemental Mastery+165
SourceForging
Infusion Stinger
Dealing Elemental DMG increases all DMG by 6~12% for 6s. Max 2 stacks. Can only occur once every 1s.
Craftable alternative. EM stat is great for Melt teams if Kaeya triggers it. Also has free DMG Bonus from the passive.
Base ATK454
ATK+55.1%
SourceForging
Iwakura Succession
After casting an Elemental Skill, gain 1 Succession Seed. This effect can be triggered once every 5s. The Succession Seed lasts for 30s. Up to 3 Succession Seeds may exist simultaneously. After using an Elemental Burst, all Succession Seeds are consumed and after 2s, the character regenerates 6~12 Energy for each seed consumed.
Another craftable alternative. Nice ATK stat. Passive also helps with Burst uptime.
Base ATK401
CRIT DMG+46.9%
SourceWish, Quest, NPC
Vigorous
When HP is above 90%, increases CRIT Rate by 14~28%.
Viable F2P weapon especially since Kaeya is mostly off-field with little to no damage so he can keep the CRIT Rate buff up permanently if ever.
