Best Weapon Tier List Genshin Impact

Best Weapon Tier List Genshin Impact: In Genshin Impact, players who utilize bows are primarily recognized for their capability to alternate between Normal and Charged Attacks. Typically, the Normal Attack inflicts Physical damage, whereas the Charged Attack results in Elemental damage.

Since the release of version 2.6, numerous bow users have gained significant popularity within the fan community. A notable example is the original Morgana team in Genshin Impact, which features three bow users: Ganyu, Venti, and Diona. For players seeking guidance on which weapons merit enhancement, this Genshin Impact Tier list will assist in making informed decisions.

It is important to note that the effects of every weapon passive are presented as they relate to Refinement Rank 1 up to Refinement Rank 5.

S-Tier Bow

S-Tier bows are compatible with a wide array of characters, demonstrating exceptional performance in their designated roles.

Bow	Rarity	Base ATK	Sub-Stat	Passive
Thundering Pulse	5-Star	608 ATK	66.2% CRIT DMG	Increases ATK by 20~40%. Obtain 1 stack in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals DMG (stack lasts 5s) Casting Elemental Skill (stack lasts 10s) Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full) At stack levels 1/2/3 increases Normal Attack DMG by 12/24/40~24/48/80%.
Polar Star	5-Star	608 ATK	33.1% CRIT Rate	Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG increased by 12~24%. After a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst hits an opponent, 1 stack will be gained for 12s. When 1/2/3/4 stacks are present, ATK is increased by 10/20/30/48~20/40/60/96%.
Skyward Harp	5-Star	674 ATK	22.1% CRIT Rate	Increases CRIT DMG by 20~40%. Hits have a 60~100% chance to inflict a small AoE attack, dealing 125% Physical ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 4~2s.
Elegy for the End	5-Star	608 ATK	55.1% Energy Recharge	Increases Elemental Mastery by 60~120. Every 0.2s, when Elemental Skills or Bursts hit opponents, gain one stack (can be triggered even if the wielder is off-field). After gaining 4 stacks, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain a buff for 12s, increasing Elemental Mastery by 100~200 and ATK by 20~40%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain any stack for 20s.
Sacrificial Bow	4-Star	565 ATK	30.6% Energy Recharge	After dealing damage to an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a 40~80% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 30~16s.

Currently, Thundering Pulse is considered one of the finest bows available in Genshin Impact. It proves to be effective even for characters that cannot fully exploit its passive features. Polar Star is somewhat akin to Thundering Pulse, yet it is more tailored for characters that depend on Skills and Bursts. Before Thundering Pulse’s emergence, Skyward Harp was recognized as the leading bow in Genshin Impact. Both bows exhibit similar DPS capabilities. Elegy for the End is an outstanding choice for any support unit, offering a team-wide buff, consistent with the other weapons in this series.

In Genshin Impact, the Sacrificial weapons are considered among the top weapon series available. This bow possesses a beneficial passive effect that facilitates the resetting of Elemental Skill cooldowns for characters who depend on their skills, including Diona and Gorou.

A-Tier Bow

A-Tier bows are certainly remarkable weapons; however, they do not possess the same level of universal excellence as those classified in the S-Tier.

Bow	Rarity	Base ATK	Sub-Stat	Passive
Amos’ Bow	5-Star	608 ATK	49.6% ATK	Increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 12~24%. After a Normal or Charged Attack is fired, DMG dealt increases by a further 8~16% every 0.1 seconds the arrow is in the air for up to 5 times.
The Viridescent Hunt	4-Star	510 ATK	27.6% CRIT Rate	When a hit occurs, Normal and Aimed Shot Attacks have a 50% chance to create a Cyclone. This Cyclone will continuously draw in surrounding enemies, inflicting damage that ranges from 40% to 80% of the attack’s ATK every 0.5 seconds for a duration of 4 seconds. This effect can only be triggered once every 14 to 10 seconds.
Alley Hunter	4-Star	565 ATK	27.6% ATK	When the character with this weapon is in the party but not on the battlefield, their damage output will rise by 2% to 4% per second, reaching a maximum of 20% to 40%. However, if the character remains on the field for longer than 4 seconds, the damage increase will decrease by 4% to 8% per second until it ultimately falls to 0%.
The Stringless	4-Star	510 ATK	165 Elemental Mastery	Increases Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 24~48%.
Rust	4-Star	510 ATK	41.3% ATK	Increases Normal Attack DMG by 40~80% but decreases Charged Attack DMG by 10%.
Hamayumi	4-Star	454 ATK	55.1% ATK	Increases Normal Attack DMG by 16~32% and Charged Attack DMG by 12~24%. When the equipping character’s Energy reaches 100%, this effect is increased by 100%.
Favonius Warbow	4-Star	454 ATK	61.3% Energy Recharge	CRIT hits have a 60~100% chance to generate a small number of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12~6s.
Blackcliff Warbow	4-Star	565 ATK	36.8% CRIT DMG	After an opponent is defeated, the attack power experiences an increase of 12% to 24% for 30 seconds. This effect can stack up to three times, and the duration of each stack is independent of the others.

Amos’s Bow is an impressive weapon; however, its effectiveness is primarily confined to characters that depend on their Normal or Charged Attacks. For players lacking S-Tier options, The Viridescent Hunt serves as a commendable substitute. Regarding Ally Hunter, although it is not widely possessed, it can prove advantageous when utilized by an off-field damage dealer. Finally, the Favonius Warbow bears similarities to the Sacrificial Bow, as both enhance a character’s capacity to function as a Genshin Impact Battery within the team. Nevertheless, due to the absence of a cooldown reset and the prerequisite for its effect, Favonius Warbow is less favored than Sacrificial.

B-Tier Bow

In the next part of the Genshin Impact Tier list, the B-Tier is represented by weapons that are adequate, yet they are not as frequently employed as their A-Tier counterparts.

Bow	Rarity	Base ATK	Sub-Stat	Passive
Prototype Crescent	4-Star	510 ATK	41.3% ATK	Charged Attack hits on weak points increase Movement SPD by 10% and ATK by 36~72% for 10s.
Mouun’s Moon	4-Star	565 ATK	27.6% ATK	For each point of the total Energy capacity shared by the party, the Elemental Burst damage of the character using this weapon is augmented by 0.12% to 0.24%. Consequently, this can lead to an overall increase in Elemental Burst damage of up to 40% to 80%.
Windblume Ode	4-Star	510 ATK	165 Elemental Mastery	After using an Elemental Skill, receive a boon from the ancient wish of the Windblume, increasing ATK by 16~32% for 6s.

Prototype Crescent is an effective weapon for free-to-play users, albeit limited to DPS roles. Mouun’s Moon has its merits, but its adaptability is restricted as players must adhere to a specific team configuration to maximize its passive benefits. Windblume Ode, while not particularly remarkable, still offers utility across various characters.

C-Tier Bow

In the Genshin Impact bow Tier list, the Compound Bow and Mitternachts Waltz are ranked at the bottom due to their minimal usage among players. They are designed solely for Physical damage DPS, a category that is regrettably represented only by Fischl.

Bow	Rarity	Base ATK	Sub-Stat	Passive
Compound Bow	4-Star	454 ATK	69.0% Physical DMG Bonus	Normal Attack and Charged Attack hits provide an increase in ATK by 4% to 8% and Normal ATK SPD by 1.2% to 2.4% for a duration of 6 seconds. This effect can accumulate to a maximum of 4 stacks and can be activated only once every 0.3 seconds.
Mitternachts Waltz	4-Star	510 ATK	51.7% Physical DMG Bonus	Successful Normal Attacks on opponents result in a 20% to 40% increase in Elemental Skill damage for 5 seconds. Similarly, when Elemental Skills hit opponents, they provide a 20% to 40% boost to Normal Attack damage for the same duration.

Genshin Impact is currently accessible on Mobile, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 platforms. A version for the Nintendo Switch is under development.
