The Light of Foliar Incision is a limited 5-star Sword weapon introduced in Genshin Impact Version 3.4. This weapon increases Crit DMG by a significant amount, while also slightly increasing Crit Rate and Elemental DMG. This is Alhaitham’s signature weapon and is designed to match his needs, but this sword is a solid pick-up for anybody.
The Light of Foliar Incision is a limited weapon, only available if it’s featured on the Weapon Event Wish banner. Weapon Event Wish banners swap out with every new character that rotates into the Character Event Wish Banner. If the Light of Foliar Incision is not featured as a summonable weapon, you will not be able to obtain this weapon.

Is the Light of Foliar Incision good?
The Light of Foliar Incision is a good stat stick for any Sword character, with a decent Base ATK stat and a very high +88% Crit DMG. However, the passive is somewhat restricting, as it only provides buffs relative to your Elemental Mastery. Therefore, this likely is not an optimal weapon for many characters unless they prefer to build Elemental Mastery.
That being said, as a 5-star Crit DMG sword, all you need sometimes are high stats. And this weapon delivers a staggeringly high Crit DMG stat. On the other hand, there’s no real reason to pull for this weapon unless you are planning on also obtaining Alhaitham.
