Use this guide to find out everything you need to know about The Alley Flash, a 4-Star Sword in Genshin Impact.
The Alley Flash is a 4-Star sword in Genshin Impact that will tremendously increase the wielder’s Elemental Mastery. It is a reliable weapon that pairs incredibly well with Sub-DPS and Support characters.
Not only is The Alley Flash a great weapon, but it has beautiful craftsmanship and bright blue colors to make it stand out. Here’s everything you need to know about the weapon should you decide to pull for it.
What Is The Alley Flash?
The Alley Flash is a 4-Star sword that can only be obtained through Event Wishes as an Event-Exclusive weapon. This means you won’t be able to get it on Standard Wishes, and it will only be available on certain Event Wishes. It is currently available on the Version 3.5 Phase 1 Weapon Banner, and will likely be available in future banners as well.
The weapon has a base ATK of 45, and a base increase of 12 to Elemental Mastery. Its Bonus Skill will increase the DMG dealt by the character equipping The Alley Flash by 12 percent. Taking DMG dismantles the effect for 5 seconds. The Alley Flash pairs particularly well with Sub-DPS and Support characters, especially Anemo characters that can create Swirl Reactions that will benefit greatly from an increase to Elemental Mastery.
How To Get & Ascend The Alley Flash
The only way to obtain The Alley Flash is through Event Wishes, as it is an Event-Exclusive weapon. It is not currently available on any Standard Banners, and cannot be obtained from quests. This means you will need to wish for The Alley Flash on the current Weapon Banner, and hope that you pull it after 10 wishes. It is not guaranteed that you will pull this one, as there are four other 4-Star weapons that you might get instead. You won’t be able to set up an Epitomized Path like the 5-Star Weapons on the Banner.
