On average, this weapon at R5 performs similarly to Ring of Yaxche [R5]. It's worth noting that due to buff downtime and the possibility of getting the ATK buff, this weapon is worse for consistent performance and can end up worse. However, if you are willing to reset for good Widsith buffs (DMG% or EM), it can outperform.
