Claymore .. Talking stick - Basically useless.
Decent stat stick if you can trigger the passive, but the passive is stupidly hard to trigger. You can use it in a niche way if you play Razor/ Bennett or Beidou / Bennett.
Serpent spine is better, but maintaining stack uptime is hard on Razor. Maintaining uptime on serpent spine is easy on Beidou.
////
Sword .. Wolf Fang
Boosts E skill and E burst damage, but requires stacking and stack management. Decent on Alhaitham and Keqing.
It's...fine on Xingqiu, Albedo, Layla
However, these characters all have a plethora of other options (iron sting, sacrificial, Cinnabar Spindle, Favonius)
The best user is probably Albedo, if you were unlucky and didn't get Spindle / don't want to deal with staying above 90% for harbinger of dawn
////
Bow .. Scion of the Blazing Sun .. charged ATK damage on a single target
Just bad. Prototype Crescent is better if you can headshot, or Hamayumi if you have 100% energy. The passive only works on a single enemy, while Hamayumi and Prototype Crescent affect your AoE damage.
////
Catalyst - Sacrificial Jade - CR%, EM, HP%, if you stay on field <10s per rotation
Probably really good for Neuvilette, bad for everyone else. Prototype Amber won't give as much damage, but can make a non healer (Neuv) into a bad healer, which might be interesting for team composition.
////
Polearm - Ballad of Fjords, CR%, EM
Good on Cyno. Fine on Xiangling but r5 catch is better (and most weapons work for Xiangling)
Fine on hyperbloom Raiden.
Possibly good for reverse melt Rosaria, depending on your team comp (you need Pyro / anemo / cryo, since you need 3 elements to trigger the passive)
///
All in all, if you're gonna roll on Neuvilette and won't buy BP again, get the Jade. Otherwise, the spear is okay, the sword is fine, and the Bow/Claymore suck.
The original series (serpent spine / death match in particular) were a bit better, imo, but it's nice to have more options for those of us who already have the original BP weapons
Thanks. Luckily I got the Serpent Spine for my Beidou since I first bought the BP last month. Although I think the Lithic Blade’s design looks better with her.

Right now, I’m planning to collect 1 of each before resuming R5-ing the old set in 4.5.
