Hey Traveler! Just having a cool character in Genshin Impact isn’t gonna win you the day. You gotta give them the right tools for the job, and that means finding them a sweet weapon. This list will show you the best Genshin Impact Weapons Tier List (bows, magic books, fancy sticks, swords, and big ol’ swords) so you can completely deck out your team. We’ll tell you where to get these weapons, which characters like them most, what kind of fighter they make your character, and the bonus stats they give. Let’s get started!
Top Tier Weapons!
This guide ranks weapons in Genshin Impact from super awesome SS, S, A, B all the way down to decent C. We considered how strong they are, what special perks they have, and how useful they are overall. The top-ranked weapons are basically the best you can get, while the lower ones might be more specific to certain situations.
The most important thing is to pick a weapon that boosts the stats your character needs the most. On top of that, each weapon has a special ability that can make your character even more powerful, so try to find one that works well with their skills!
Sword Tier List
Genshin Impact has tons of cool one-handed swords to collect! You can get them by wishing (like gacha pulls), crafting them yourself, buying them from the shop, or even during special events.
