Weapons are an integral part to most games today. Some games allow the characters to use a wide variety of different types and strengths of weapons. However, each character in Genshin Impact is only able to use a specific type of weapon. There are five different types of weapons in the game. And these weapons are as follows:
| Weapon Icon | Weapon Type | Description |
 | Sword | Sword attacks are the middle ground of melee weapons, the damage of their hits and speed of their attacks are somewhere in between the slow attacks of Claymores and the rapid attacks of Polearms. |
 | Claymore | Claymores restrict the character wielding it to slower hits than other melee weapons, but deal much more damage per swing. Claymores also have a damage bonus towards breaking Geo objects, like a monster’s shield. |
 | Polearm | Polearms have the fastest attacks of all the weapons and good forward reach. |
 | Bow | Bows boast long-ranged attacks in the game, with Charged Attacks that are capable of hitting monsters as far as the eye can see with the proper aim. |
 | Catalyst | Due to their magical nature, all Normal and Charged Attacks performed with a Catalyst are considered elemental damage. The element of the damage depends on the wielder’s natural element/vision. |
How to Obtain Stronger Weapons
