The best early game sword for Sanhua is Sword of Voyager, plain and simple. You can get this sword easily and you will get that sweet energy regen which helps the rotation better.

Sanhua Forte Priority

Here is our recommendation for you to upgrade Sanhua forte:

Intro Skill --> Resonance Liberation --> Resonance Skill --> Forte Circuit --> Normal Attack.

Eventually you will upgrade all the forte the longer you play the character, but if you don't want to waste a lot of material on upgrading material in the early game you should prioritize like our we recommend.

Our recommendation is by following Sanhua full combo, by upgrading like this your combo will be more powerful the more you upgrade the forte.

Sanhua Resonance Chain Priority

The best resonance chain is S6 Sanhua, this will ultimately boost your whole team ATK and make the combo extremely crucial to land then switching to the main damage dealer to output their damage with bonus you got from Sanhua combo.

For S4 Sanhua, she is also very good to use thanks to the heavy attack damage boost to help you improve the character energy.
