Updated:

15 Oct 2022

Even if you have the best characters in Genshin Impact, 5 stars and all, some players may be tons better than you. “Why?”, you ask.? Because of the weapons they give to their characters. These weapons are not only able to increase ATK, but also a second stat as well. Moreover, the passive abilities they have are sometimes game-changing.

Some of these weapons may be difficult to get. Maybe it’s necessary to pay for them or use primogems in temporal banners. In this guide, we’ll rate the top 10 weapons in the game that can be called free-to-play.

10. Harbinger of Dawn

The first one is the Harbinger of Dawn. This sword may be the lowest rank for weapons, 3-star, but it’s not bad at all. Although its base ATK is low, if you maintain your HP at a certain level, it can increase the most important stats: Crit. Damage and Crit. Rate.

Why This Item Is Great:

When HP is above 90%, increases CRIT Rate by 14%.

9. Luxurious Sea-Lord

This funny-looking fish is indeed a claymore. When it was given as a present in a fishing event people made fun of it. Until they started to use it, that is. It’s an amazing weapon when equipped with characters whose gameplay is based on elemental burst. Also, the tuna is so funny to see.

Why This Item Is Great:

Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 12%. When Elemental Burst hits opponents, there is a 100% chance of summoning a huge onrush of tuna that charges and deals 100% ATK as AoE DMG. This effect can occur once every 15s.

8. “The Catch”

“The catch” was included at the same time as the Luxurious Sea Lord. You can change your fishes for this polearm in Inazuma’s Fishing Association. Although similar to the last one, this polearm is better because it not only increases bursts’ damage and Crit. rate, but it also helps recharge their energy as well.

Why This Item Is Great:

Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 16% and Elemental Burst CRIT Rate by 6%.

7. The Widsith

Now, this is a catalyst you can equip to almost every catalyst character in Genshin Impact. Even if the passive abilities it gives them are random, the three of them are so fantastic that it doesn’t matter which you get. I mean, 60% ATK, 48% elemental damage, or 240 elemental mastery? I can’t choose.

Why This Item Is Great:

When a character takes the field, they will gain a random theme song for 10s. This can only occur once every 30s.
Recitative: ATK is increased by 60%.
Aria: Increases all Elemental DMG by 48%.
Interlude: Elemental Mastery is increased by 240.

6. Rust

In 6th place, we find the weapons that fits Tartaglia the best. Why is that? Because it increases Normal attacks by a lot. When refined it can even get to 80%! Although it’s a pity it decreases charged attacks’ damage, people like Tartaglia or Yoimiya can live without them.

Why This Item Is Great:

Increases Normal Attack DMG by 40% but decreases Charged Attack DMG by 10%.

5. Skyward Atlas

The second half of the top is full of the 5-star weapons that can be found in the standard wish banner and, well, they are all amazing. The Skyward Atlas, in particular, helps catalyst characters both with its amazing ATK% supplement and its Elemental Damage addition. The off-field damage given by its passive can’t be forgotten as well.

Why This Item Is Great:

Increases Elemental DMG Bonus by 12%. Normal Attack hits have a 50% chance to earn the favor of the clouds. which actively seek out nearby opponents to attack for 15s, dealing 160% ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 30s.

4. Skyward Harp

From the same set, the Skyward Harp gets 4th place. This weapon is a mix ofbetween the Harbinger of Dawn and the Skyward Atlas. It gives the user an increase in Crit. rate and Crit. Damage, like the first sword, and off-field damage frequently, like the last catalyst.

3. Aquila Favonia

In the top 3, we find Jean’s main weapon. It gives tons of ATK and Physical damage bonuses, so it’s amazing if you use it for her (or another character) when going full Physical DPS. Not only that, the Falcon of the West passive ability can both deal off-field damage and heal a part of your character’s health.

Why This Item Is Great:

ATK is increased by 20%. Triggers on taking DMG: the soul of the Falcon of the West awakens, holding the banner of the resistance aloft, regenerating HP equal to 100% of ATK and dealing 200% of ATK as DMG to surrounding opponents. This effect can only occur once every 15s.

2. Wolf’s Gravestone

If the last one was Jean’s weapon, this is Diluc’s. As a DPS that mainly focus on hitting enemies without stopping, having much ATK is fantastic. This claymore gives base ATK, ATK% as its substat, and ATK% with both its passives. I’ve seen characters with this weapon equipped that had up to 5000 points in ATK!

Why This Item Is Great:

Increases ATK by 20%. On hit, attacks against opponents with less than 30% HP increase all party members' ATK by 40% for 12s. Can only occur once every 30s.

1. Primordial Jade Winged-Spear

Finally, the best weapon in the standard wish banner: the Primordial jade Winged-Spear. This polearm is saidsais to be created for Morax to Xiao the yjaksha. With every time you hit your enemies your ATK increases, up to 7 times. That means this weapon gives you a boost of both Crit. rate and 22% of ATK. Moreover, you have to agree with me that this is the prettiest weapon yet.

Why This Item Is Great:

On hit, increases ATK by 3.2% for 6s. Max 7 stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0.3s. While in possession of the maximum possible stacks, DMG dealt is increased by 12%.

After all this, you may have noticed just how much a weapon's stats or passive increase your overall damage. Every character has a weapon that suits them perfectly, but most of them aren’t free of charge or easy to get. Thus, we’ve shown you these 10 options so that you can choose whichever you think works better for your character and team.
