4 New Genshin Impact Weapons to Boost Your Genshin Impact Combat Experience

Genshin Impact, a popular action role-playing game developed by HoYoVerse, offers a wide variety of weapons to choose from. Each character has their unique abilities and playstyle, and the right weapon can make a significant difference in combat performance. In this article, we’ll discuss everything you need to know about Genshin Impact weapons, including how to obtain them, their attributes, and which ones are worth investing in.

Obtaining Genshin Impact Weapons

There are several ways to acquire weapons in Genshin Impact. The primary method is through the game’s gacha system, where players can spend primogems, the in-game currency, to roll for weapons and other items. The gacha system includes various banners, such as the standard wish banner, featured character banners, and limited-time weapon banners.

Another way to obtain Genshin Impact weapons is through crafting. Players can collect blueprints and materials to craft specific weapons. Blueprints can be obtained from various sources, such as completing quests, defeating enemies, or purchasing them from the in-game NPCs. Materials, on the other hand, can be gathered from various activities like opening chests, crafting, or purchased from merchants.

5 Genshin Impact Weapon Types

1. Swords – Of all melee weapons, sword attacks fall somewhere in the middle. They have shorter reach than Polearms, but their attacks provide similar damage and move quickly.

2. Claymores – Claymore swings deliver far more damage per swing than melee weapons like Swords and Polearms. Attacks with claymores are classified as blunt assaults and cause more damage to physical items like monster shields.

3. Polearms – Polearms have a long forward reach, quick attacks, and moderate damage each hit.

4. Catalyst – All Normal and Charged Attacks made with a Catalyst are regarded as dealing elemental damage because of their magical nature. The damage’s element is determined by the wielder’s inherent element.

5. Bows – Bows specialises in long-ranged attacks, with Charged Attacks that are capable of hitting monsters according to the crosshair and from a long distance. A fully-Charged Attack deals elemental damage to enemies.
