Whiteblind is a craftable weapon that was introduced along with the release of the game. Part of the Infusion series, this weapon shares the category alongside Iron Sting, Crescent Pike, Mappa Mare and Compound Bow. With DEF as a secondary stat, this weapon increases your ATK and DEF each time you hit the opponent with a Normal or Charged ATK, giving this weapon minimal utility outside the characters that are designed to wield this.
A blacksmith that many called dull crafted this weapon as a ‘welcome home’ gift to his wife who had gone to war. Many called him dull so he had a point to prove as well, and thus worked extra hard to make this weapon. However, when his wife returned he found out that she no longer had the need for it because she had put that life behind her. Funnily enough, the bladesmith went into despair mode and started blaming her. He never stopped whining about the unfairness of it all.

Story
The whole world flocks to the commercial port of Liyue, much to the city's pride.
With the tides of people also come exotic treasure.
This greatsword is expertly made with the finest materials. It is unique in that the edge closest to the wielder has been left dull. The dull edge is said to have been used as the hilt, enabling the wielder to switch forms by constantly shifting hand positions in combat.
Though it is rarely acknowledged, this greatsword was in fact a foreign bladesmith's labor of love.
The bladesmith knew himself to be dull of wits, and was anxious that this blade should not follow suit. Hence, he worked painstakingly on sharpening and balancing his beloved blade. Sparks flew as the bladesmith worked through many sleepless nights.
The sword was recast and re-tempered countless times. All the while his mind was consumed with the hope of his lover's return, as well as his untold anxiety for her well-being.
"After the war is over..."
The bladesmith would ponder briefly, each time he paused for breath.
"Will this blade still be of use to her?"
"Will she even make it home safely?"
These thoughts would linger in his mind for but a moment before he cast them aside and refocused his full attention on the blade. Indulging irresolvable anxieties was a futile endeavor - better to focus his faculties on creating the perfect welcome-home gift.
Finally, the day came when the triumphant expeditionary force entered the city gates, their monstrous foes defeated at last. But the bladesmith had not had time to carve his lover's name onto the blade's body.
With no time to lose, he grabbed the sword and rushed to meet his lover on the occasion of her return.
Unfortunately, what would transpire next was to be an unbearable anticlimax.
As the warrior removed her helmet, long, soft hair flowed down. She was growing her hair out, and hence would never need to wield a blade again for the rest of her days.
Meanwhile, she had brought her lover a gift, too: A shiny new hunting bow.
"Romance is dead! I wasted all these years making you this greatsword, and now you don't even need it!"
The bladesmith was thoroughly miserable and would not stop complaining about the unfairness of it all. But his efforts had by no means been in vain—at least he had finally succeeded in making a blade of the very finest quality.
Trivia
FAQs
Which character is Whiteblind good for?
Whiteblind is a good weapon on DEF scaling Claymore characters like Noelle and Itto.
Is the Whiteblind good for Itto?
Whiteblind, although it doesn’t synergize well with Opulent Dream Artifact Set, is an incredible weapon for Itto. If you do not have his BiS Redhorn Slasher or Serpent Spine, this weapon can be the perfect alternative.
Is Whiteblind or prototype archaic better?
Whiteblind and Prototype Archaic are meant for different characters altogether and really can’t be compared because of the same. Whiteblind is good on DEF scaling characters while Prototype Archaic is better on ATK scaling characters.
Final Thoughts
Whiteblind is an incredible weapon on characters like Noelle and Itto. They have good synergy with the weapon due to their DEF to ATK conversion. Noelle can utilize this weapon to its maximum potential with the help of her C6. Itto already does incredible damage and the DEF bonus from this weapon will be amazing on him as well.
