Genshin Impact - Best Weapon. How to Get, Ranks, etc.

guide

We will tell you about the best swords, bows, catalysts and spears in Genshin Impact, as well as how to get them.

While playing Genshin Impact, you regularly fight against goblins, elementals, and other monsters. To effectively counter them, you need a powerful weapon. Let's talk about which one to choose.

Ranks

All weapons in the game are divided into four ranks:

  • ➤C-grade - this includes weapons with three and four stars, which are easy to get at the beginning of the game. It has low performance;
  • ➤B-rank - four stars, the parameters are slightly higher than the previous one;
  • ➤A-rank - four stars, good parameters;
  • ➤S-grade is a five-star rare weapon that has high damage and powerful additional skills.

Almost every weapon gives the character one or another ability. Always check which one. Sometimes it's worth taking the one with the best skill, even if its stats are unremarkable.

Weapon parameters can be increased by enchanting. Sometimes improved regular weapons are more effective than rare ones.

In addition, some swords, bows and spears give bonuses to specific characters or grant privileges for a particular element. Read the description carefully.

Where to get weapons

The ways to obtain weapons depend on their stars:

  • ➤1-3 stars - drops from monsters, chests and bosses, issued for quests;
  • ➤4 stars - exchanged for Starlight, Forging and Battle Passes;
  • ➤5 stars - drops through the Gacha prayer system (roulette with a random chance of dropping game items, which can be played for real currency).
