Weapons are a crucial part of each character’s build inGenshin Impact, as they significantly impact their power on the field. HoYoverse also releases a signature weapon alongside a new character that perfectly fits their playstyle.
Genshin Impacthas officially revealed the stats for four new weapons that will become available in the upcoming update 5.1. Xilonen’s signature five-star sword is called Peak Patrol Song, and it provides a substantial amount of DEF as its secondary stat. This means the weapon won’t be very flexible and will likely only be viable forGenshin ImpactGeo characters, whose kits usually scale with this stat. The sword’s passive effect increases the character’s DEF whenever they use a Normal or Charged Attack on an enemy. The sword can also increase the elemental damage potential of the whole team composition, scaling with the weapon holder’s DEF.
Genshin Impact 5.1: Four New Weapons Revealed
The new four-star polearm is called Mountain-Bracing Bolt, which provides a lot of Energy Recharge. This could be a decent choice for the recently released Kachina, which was also available for free duringGenshin ImpactVersion 5.1. Its passive effect decreases Stamina consumption while climbing and also increases Elemental Skill damage by 12%. The weapon holder will receive another Elemental Skill buff whenever a party member uses their skill.
Fruitful Hook is the name of the newfour-star claymore inGenshin Impact. It revolves around an unusual part of a character’s kit: the Plunging Attack. This means the weapon could be a decent choice for a couple of characters, including Liyue’s Pyro user Gaming. Xianyun could be another Pyro character who benefits from this weapon. Overall, it will be a great budget choice for most claymore characters that scale with ATK.
Many fans claim that Sturdy Bone has one of the bestsword designs inGenshin Impact. This new four-star weapon also provides ATK as its secondary stat, meaning it will likely be a good fit for offensive sword users. The weapon’s passive effect decreases Sprint Stamina consumption, and using this mechanic will also increase Normal Attack damage by 16%. Some fans have praised HoYoverse for giving stamina buffs to new weapons, which could impact their power on the field.
