В Genshin Impact Choosing the best weapon isn't easy due to the variety of options, characters, and their synergies. While the basic stats of the equipment may suit a hero, the passive talent's requirements may be unmet by their abilities, and sometimes the chosen companion build also plays a role.
In the open world, almost all characters can easily deal with most enemies, but difficult and updated content like the final halls twisted abyss, high complexity Dark onslaught и Imaginarium Theater Require at least a minimal investment in companion armament. Our top list consists of six categories for each weapon type: from the most powerful and convenient options to specific and unsuccessful ones that are not worth wasting resources on.
Gear placement depends on meta relevance, the number of suitable carriers, ease of use, and investment.

|---|---|---|

It performs best in the hands of a Natlanian or a hero with Elemental Infusion. They can extend the effect with normal attacks and keep all bonuses active for as long as they're on the field. It's a good match for companions with a well-defined rotation and a window of at least 10 seconds for ability regeneration. |      |      |
 Beacon of the Reed Sea⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 46 - 608 CRIT Rate: 7.2% - 33.1% The sword simultaneously provides a bonus to attack power and increases the wearer's HP.

This is especially helpful when the necessary skills are already ready to use. | | |
 Sacrificial Greatsword⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 44 - 565 Energy recharge: 6.7% - 30.6% The Ceremonial line features a general passive that resets a skill when hitting an enemy. It's a great option for supports or sub-DDs who want to use abilities on cooldown or need a large amount of energy. |  |     |

| Weapon | 1 characters | 2 characters |
|---|---|---|
 Staff of Homa⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 46 - 608 CRIT DMG: 14.4% - 66.2% A polearm with a HP bonus is suitable not only for heroes based on health but also for others, as this stat translates into ATK.

 The Catch⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 42 - 510 Energy recharge: 10.0% - 45.9% A fishing reward and a case where some free weapons can rival legendary ones. Thanks to the Elemental Burst damage bonus, it remains the best available option for two strong heroines. It also shows good potential on other characters with offensive superpowers. | | |

| Weapon | 1 characters | 2 characters |
|---|---|---|
 Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 46 - 608 CRIT Rate: 7.1% - 33.1% A book from a standard prayer, easily used as a main damage dealer. For the passive to fully activate, you need to be on the field for at least 16 seconds, but for most characters, the skill duration doesn't exceed 15 seconds. In a normal battle, the wearer will have up to 3 stacks, giving them 24-48% elemental damage depending on the awakenings. |      |     |
 Tulaytullah's Remembrance⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 48 - 674 CRIT DMG: 9.6% - 44.1% A catalyst with a large bonus to punches and their speed. It forces players to play without using the skill for 14 seconds after the first E-shot, which can be problematic for some hero rotations.

When choosing ranged weapons, it's important to understand the predominant hero type on your account. If you have enough damage-dealing archers, you can obtain one or two S+ tier options from the Prayer and assign them based on the current content requirements. Legendary support gear is rare and will always find its wearer, so skipping it is not recommended.
| Weapon | 1 characters | 2 characters |
|---|---|---|
 The First Great Magic⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 46 - 608 CRIT DMG: 14.4% - 66.2% Buffs attack for each character of the same element as their owner, without requiring any rotation adjustments. These companions are often played in groups with at least one hero of their element, so they easily utilize their passive. High base damage, high damage/damage, and additional attack percentages allow for focusing on other stats in their items. |    |    |
 Polar Star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 46 - 608 CRIT Rate: 7.2% - 33.1% An excellent choice for a main DPS who deals damage with all of his skills, or for a pocket DPS player. The variety of ways to stack allows him to quickly reach 3-4 levels and utilize their effects in combat. For a sub DPS, it's important to quickly finish a skill, a normal attack, and activate the remaining super ability so that all subsequent attacks benefit from the ATK buff. | |    |

| Elegy for the End ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 48 - 608 Energy recharge: 12.0% - 55.1% One of the few Legendary Bows for supports. Combines an increase to the wearer's MS with bonuses to attack power and mastery for allies for 12 seconds.

 Skyward Harp⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 48 - 674 CRIT Rate: 4.8% - 22.1% From the standard prayer. It doesn't have any additional damage boosts in its passive, but it balances out the primary stat, K/S, and crit damage in the first part of the talent. Its versatility allows it to be used as any main damage dealer, although without awakenings, it will lose to most other legendaries. | | |
 The Stringless⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 42 - 510 Elemental Mastery: 36 - 165 An epic weapon for heroes who rely on their skill or ultimate abilities. It boosts these buttons, and Elemental Mastery will positively impact the overall gameplay. During awakenings, it reveals itself as one of the best 4⭐️ for playing with an ultimate or E-key. |  | |
| Favonius Warbow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 41 - 454 Energy recharge: 13.3% - 61.3% The only 4-degree option for supports that fits into any squad. The vast majority of sub-DDs and support heroes have their ultimate as their primary ability. Their ability to Q on cooldown is crucial for the core team rotation, so energy regeneration is a key consideration. The Favonia line requires high critical chance to function, so it's best suited for heroes whose Elemental Burst deals damage. If you have issues with HE% and don't have a Ceremonial Bow, it's also suitable for non-ult-using heroes. | |   |

| Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 46 - 608 CRIT DMG: 14.4% - 66.2% It only fully manifests itself in the hands of an Anemo hero. For others, only the part of the passive talent tied to their allies' elements works. | | |
| Golden Oath of Ice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 44 - 542 CRIT DMG: 19.2% - 88.2% An ideal option for a support or sub-DD in a Moon Crystal team. |  |  |
| Thundering Pulse ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 46 - 608 CRIT DMG: 14.4% - 66.2% Provides a bonus to ATK and punches, but with a few caveats. It's important to reset the ultimate as it builds up, as its effects don't fully activate when it's full. | | |
 Hunter's Path⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 44 - 542 CRIT Rate: 9.6% - 44.1% Increases the damage of charged attacks based on the MS stat. Everyone except Tignari should play in reaction-based squads and wear watches with Elemental Mastery. | | |
 Amos’ Bow⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Base stat: 46 - 608 ATK: 10.8% - 49.6% From the standard prayer. There's a bonus to normal and charged attacks, which most of this Crassus's main damage dealers utilize. The main drawback is the arrow flight time requirement in the second part of the passive. | | |
| Flower-Wreathed Feathers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 42 - 510 ATK: 9% - 41% Enhances charged attacks. The effect stacks, but not all archers can afford to stand around and wait for the passive to activate. Works well on Chaska. | | |
| Rust ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 42 - 506 ATK: 9% - 41.3% A bow for main damage dealing against off-hand attacks. At elevated heights, it has an advantage over many epic alternatives, but it removes the ability to aim. | |  |
 Sacrificial Bow⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 44 - 565 Energy recharge: 6.7% - 30.6% A ranged weapon for supports with an expensive ultimate. The sub-stat of HE%, combined with a second E, will provide enough of this stat. Useful in situations where you need to use the skill before its cooldown ends. | | |

| Hamayumi Bow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 41 - 454 ATK: 12% - 55.1% Crafted equipment from the Inazuma line. Increases the wearer's normal and precision attacks, but only when the Elemental Burst gauge is full. The best F2P weapon for Eimiya. | | |

All the ways to get weapons in Genshin Impact
The game offers a variety of methods for farming and obtaining gear, which determines its rarity. For example, 3-grade gear can be obtained from both chests and banners, while 5-grade gear is only available through prayers. Some items are obtained exclusively through crafting and cannot be purchased ready-made, while others require side activities like fishing.
Prayers
Banners are the primary source of loot. There are four types of prayers in the game:
- Standard – always available in the game. You can obtain legendary and epic weapons from the list provided.
- Event - contains all 4⭐ options from the permanent banner.
- The Armory is the key prayer for gear. It always contains two Legendaries, the signature gear for characters in the update. Both standard 5-degree pieces and rare 4-degree pieces, otherwise unobtainable, are available.
- Chronicled Wishes — the rarest banner, whose contents are determined by the game region. In addition to the 5⭐ heroes of a specific country, it contains their signatures, as well as legendary and epic weapons related to the region according to lore. According to this principle, legendaries without a designated carrier sometimes appear here, for example, Claymore Unforged or one-handed sword Precious Pool.
Open world
Some equipment and the materials needed to awaken it cannot be obtained through prayers for spins, but can only be obtained by completing locations, quests, and exploring Teyvat. The rarity of such equipment is always 3-4⭐; 5⭐ cannot be obtained this way. All methods:
- Chests are loot boxes scattered throughout Teyvat. They typically drop 2⭐ loot, which isn't used in the late game, but sometimes they also drop rare limited-edition loot, such as the Fillet Knife sword or the Twin Jade and Eldritch Tale catalysts.
- Lake and sea fishing — You can exchange your catch for various items at the Fishermen's Association branches located in every country. NPCs offer the powerful spear "Ulov," the one-handed sword "Ferryman" "Flew Sandr," and the bow "Wither," as well as ascension materials.
- Crafting: All released regions have their own line of weapons with specific passive abilities tied to the region's features or tailored to local heroes. Blueprints can be obtained through trades with the blacksmith, quests, and other in-game activities. Crafting requires collecting ore and obtaining forging molds from weekly bosses.
- Exploring Locations – Completing quests, exploring territories, and speaking with Teyvat's inhabitants sometimes yields equipment rewards. After the conversation, a Liyue resident will give the Traveler a Dark Iron Sword, a one-of-a-kind item. Interacting with points of interest sometimes yields low-rarity weapons.
Buy
To acquire some weapons donation required, spending the currency of temporary events or Mora:
- Main events — Sometimes the developers reward epic weapons for completing the main event objectives. These often become a good F2P alternative, although for some heroes they also release signature gear. For example, Alchemist Albedo and his sword, the Cinnabar Spindle. The downside is that this equipment is no longer obtainable after the event ends.
- Paimon's Bargains — Montenegrin and Royal line of equipment is available in the in-game store for 24 units. Starry shineThe assortment changes on the first of each month.
- Battle Pass — When purchasing an improved BP, the player receives a gear selector at level 30. It allows players to claim one of ten available rewards. These are epic gear with critical hits in substats, tailored for different hero categories.
- Purchase from blacksmiths - in the capital of each kingdom and in The Serenitea Pot You can not only craft new weapons for your squad, but also purchase them. These are typically 2⭐ options for the initial phase, which are then used as consumables for leveling up.
Weapon Tier List Evaluation Criteria
The tier list is based on the latest game updates and current mechanics, and will be updated as content is released and new weapons are added. For a better understanding, we'll explain the principles behind evaluating each position.
Damager buff quality
The most important gear for main and sub-DD is a useful primary stat (K/S or K/U), an affix, and the number of possible owners. Weapons that significantly enhance damage dealers hold the highest ranking: increasing stats or damage from melee attacks, elemental skills, or ultimates.
Weak spots are filled with options that offer unclaimed bonuses, such as a specific passive for hitting weak spots or opening chests.
Benefits of support gear
A support weapon is rated at the top tier if its buffs are impossible or difficult to obtain otherwise. The key is the ease of implementation of the passive talent. For example, almost any character can use the Dragonslayer Epic catalyst to boost an ally's attack.
At the same time, the Wave-Cutting Fin spear and Mouun's Moon bow are only useful in a team with expensive super abilities. The same is true for Ineffa's signature move, Shattered Halo. There aren't enough shield-pikemen who rely on Lunar Charge to cover all the team buffs.
The demand
The value of equipment is determined by the number of possible wearers or the specific benefits it offers to specific heroes. For example, Precious Pool ranks high due to its utility for both attack- and HP-scaled heroes. And the Favonia line is suitable for almost all supports and sub-DDs, as many squads require energy replenishment.
Moreover, if gear provides sufficiently powerful bonuses, it can reach high ranks even with a small number of owners. It's difficult to give Signa Shilonen to anyone but her, but with her, the team becomes noticeably stronger.
This tier list will help you choose the best weapons for your heroes. The gear ranking clearly shows which options are worth spending Primogems on and donate , and which ones are best avoided. Follow banner schedule, so as not to miss the equipment that interests you.
Hello, isn't there a description for every weapon? I'm a beginner and would like to know which one is best for whom. I can't find the Cold Edge or the Dawn Harbinger.
Hello. Dawn Harbinger is at the bottom of the table at S rank. A description for Cold Blade wasn't added because it's below Tier A. It's usually quickly replaced by 4⭐️ and above. Xingqiu or a Cryo/Hydro Swordsman in Freeze might be suitable for now.
Don't you think The Widsith would work on Nevi too? It has a high usage rate, and I use it myself, so it's perfectly fine if you adjust the artifacts. I didn't find any other "bugs" other than those already noted.
Hello! The thing is, of all the notes, only the elemental note is suitable for Nevillette. Damage: MS and the ATK boost are useless for him. Therefore, Nevillette is not listed among the suitable heroes.
Obvious flaws in the guide:
Wolf Fang: Furina should be Bennett's replacement.
Steel Sting: Kaeya and Lyla don't need it because they don't need EM.
Serpent Spine: We could add a bunch more heroes, like Eola, Diluc, etc.
Dragon Slayer Epic: Charlotte would definitely be a good fit.
Celestial Atlas: Replace Sitlali with Yae.
Hamayumi Bow: "the best F2P weapon for Eimiya" – remove the phrase and Eimiya herself. This bow doesn't work with her signature set and prevents her from using her ultimate.
The illustration isn't in the rating. It's not even mentioned. Make sure there's a quick navigation sign on the left side of the site.
The navigation through the content is now in the upper right corner of the screen (removed from the left so that the button for reading articles on a phone does not interfere).
I'm not really talking about that kind of transition. Previously, there were sections on the left: leveling, artifacts, talents. You clicked on them and they took you to the section you needed. It was very convenient. But now you just scroll at the top of the page and that's it.
The table of contents with sections is still displayed on the left if you click on the corresponding button, and navigation between article sections works there.
Thank you!!! Very convenient thing.
He wrote about this, and I just found out about it too. There's a table of contents button in the top right corner next to the topic and search buttons. That's it. But I think it was more convenient before.
Perhaps it's still a matter of habit.
There were simply complaints that the content button was blocking some of the text on a phone, so we decided to move it to the upper right corner.
Maybe we should somehow highlight this button? Maybe at least with a color, like the chat button?
Thanks for the feedback! We'll think about how to improve this. We might create a different interface for desktop and phone so we can bring back the content button on desktop.
Thanks for adding Illugi. One more question: can you make it so you can switch to it using a character's profile picture?
By the way, I didn't see the Sumeru aka Wither fishing bow, but that's understandable. Favonius or Ceremon are definitely better. You could put them on any Colley or Sar (although who plays them in 2026 now), but I crafted it for the sake of the collection and put it on Diona. Now I have a cat with a fish 😀
The Wither Bow is located in the C-tier.
Sarah is currently playing in the stroller when Fischl and Raiden are busy, and Kirill is simply not around. And they're often busy, as the hellish energy demands of the Onslaught almost always require them to be placed together in the same overload pack.
