Types of Weapons

In Genshin Impact, players have access to a wide range of weapons to choose from, each with its own unique playstyle and abilities. These weapons are divided into six main categories: Sword, Bow, Claymore, Polearm, Catalyst, and Claymore.

Swords are fast and agile weapons that excel in close combat. They often have passive abilities that increase attack speed or critical hit rate. Bows are ranged weapons that excel in dealing sustained damage from a distance. They often have passive abilities that increase critical hit damage or decrease aim time.

Claymores are heavy, two-handed swords that deal high physical damage. They often have passive abilities that increase attack power or decrease stamina consumption. Polearms are long, spear-like weapons that excel in crowd control and area of effect damage. They often have passive abilities that increase attack range or enable special attacks that hit multiple enemies at once.

Catalysts are magic weapons that allow characters to cast spells and deal elemental damage. They often have passive abilities that increase spell damage or enable special attacks that apply elemental effects to enemies. Claymores are large, two-handed axes that deal high physical damage and have passive abilities that increase attack power or decrease stamina consumption.

Weapon Rarity

In Genshin Impact, weapons are also classified by rarity, ranging from common (white) to legendary (purple). Higher rarity weapons generally have more powerful passive abilities and higher base stats, but they are also harder to obtain. Players can obtain new weapons through the gacha system, which uses in-game currency or real money to "roll" for a chance to obtain a specific weapon.

Subtitle 3: Weapon Ascension and Leveling

Once players obtain a weapon, they can increase its power through the Ascension system. This process requires players to gather specific materials and resources, and each Ascension level unlocks new passive abilities for the weapon.

In addition to Ascension, weapons can also be leveled up through the use of Weapon XP materials. This increases the weapon's base stats and overall power.

Elemental Reactions and Elemental Resonance

In Genshin Impact, characters and enemies can be aligned with one of the seven elements: Anemo (wind), Geo (earth), Pyro (fire), Cryo (ice), Electro (lightning), Hydro (water), and Dendro (nature). When characters use weapons or abilities that match an enemy's element, they can trigger Elemental Reactions, which can deal additional damage or apply special effects.

Elemental Resonance is a passive ability that grants bonus effects when characters have two or more characters in the party that are aligned with different elements. For example, the "Opposites Attract" Elemental Resonance grants an increase to attack power when a Pyro character and a Cryo character are in the same party.

Best Weapons and Loadouts

With so many weapons to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide which ones are the best for your playstyle and party composition. Some popular weapons among players include the Skyward Blade (Sword), Compound Bow (Bow), the Blackcliff Pole (Polearm), the Favonius Warbow (Bow), and the Sacrificial Greatsword (Claymore).



Ultimately, the best weapons and loadouts will depend on your party composition, playstyle, and the enemies you are facing. Experimenting with different weapons and combinations is a key part of the Genshin Impact experience.
