Equipping your Genshin Impact characters with the strongest gear possible is crucial to finding success in any battle you come across in Teyvatm, and choosing the best weapon for them is one of the most important parts.
A great weapon can make even the weakest character seem strong while a bad one can make Teyvat’s toughest feel rather lackluster. Choosing the best weapon possible for every character is a tough task, so here are all of the top choices for you.
Best weapons for every Genshin Impact character
Equipping your Genshin characters with a strong weapon is crucial for amplifying and building upon their skills. The best weapon for any given character will vary depending on how you want to build them and what they specialize at, but here are all of the best weapon options you can consider.
Best weapons for Bow characters in Genshin Impact
Bow characters tend to be some of the most flexible units in all of Genshin. Some of them excel as support units, some possess immensely strong DPS abilities, and others have a balanced mix of both.
Some reliably versatile and flexible options for any bow unit include Skyward Harp and Elegy for the End, which are two top-tier five-star weapons. There are also many powerful four-star bows you can choose with The Stringless and Favonius Warbow being two of the best choices.

Best weapons for Catalyst characters in Genshin Impact
Catalyst units are very flexible and so are their weapons. Some catalysts specialize in damage dealing while others are entirely focused on amplifying support abilities like healing.
Overall, Skyward Atlas is the most versatile five-star catalyst while The Widsith is your best four-star bet, but the best catalyst for each character varies quite drastically in this category depending on what you want the character to focus on.

Best weapons for Claymore characters in Genshin Impact
Claymore characters wield massive and clunky weapons, so it’s not too surprising they are almost always dedicated DPS units. Because of this, you’ll generally be seeking claymores with strong DPS statistics including critical damage, attack, and critical rate.
Wolf’s Gravestone and Skyward Pride are two of the most useful claymores currently available, although both are five-stars, which makes them tough to unlock. Serpent Spine is one of the best four-stars you can go for instead.

Best weapons for Polearm characters in Genshin Impact
Polearm units are surprisingly flexible and range from protective supports like Zhongli to jack-of-all-trade units like Raiden Shogun. Because of this, you’ll find polearm characters to be one of the more complex types to build since there is a wide array of different types of this weapon.
Staff of Homa is the overall top choice for just about any polearm recruit thanks to its highly powerful damage-dealing abilities. Some other string options include Skyward Spine, Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, and Engulfing Lightning.
