Who can use Cinnabar Spindle
Cinnabar Spindle is a niche sword due to its unique Defense perk and passive ability that scales the character's defense. Most characters scale attack by default, which means they won't have enough defense to make sword stats viable compared to existing options.
Overall, Cinnabar Spindle is Albedo's best weapon because of his split mechanic that prioritizes defense over his elemental skill and attack over his elemental blast. The characteristics of the sword are a direct buff to his Elemental Skill, which makes it an amazing weapon when your Albedo build is built as Sub-DPS Support or Geo Damage.
