Genshin Impact Weapon Tier List

Weapon-banner wishes are one cross-type currency — a wish spent chasing a claymore is a wish not spent on a bow — so this board ranks all 71 released five-star weapons against each other by pull and investment value rather than sword-versus-sword in isolation. Every placement answers the same question: when this weapon appears on a banner, is it worth your Primogems?

The S row is where one pull upgrades a whole slice of your account. A Thousand Blazing Suns and Beacon of the Reed Sea carry entire Pyro and claymore rosters; Staff of Homa, Primordial Jade Cutter, Mistsplitter Reforged and Aqua Simulacra are the universal crit sticks half the DPS cast can wear; Freedom-Sworn, Elegy for the End and A Thousand Floating Dreams keep buffing the team beyond their wielder; Engulfing Lightning is still the premier energy-recharge polearm; and Gest of the Mighty Wolf, Varka's signature, sits in the top band of every source we checked.

Two structural rules shape the middle of the list. First, a weapon that serves one character ranks below an equally strong universal stat stick — which is why famous signatures like Nightweaver's Looking Glass, Reliquary of Truth and Bloodsoaked Ruins sit a band or two below the S-tier characters who wield them: if you own the character they're a lovely luxury, but as a pull they're narrow. Second, standard-pool five-stars — Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, Skyward Harp and Primordial Jade Winged-Spear — are capped at A no matter how strong, because no amount of planning lets you pull them on purpose.

Only five-star weapons get entries here; before you chase any of them, remember that The Catch, the Favonius and Sacrificial lines, and battle-pass picks like Serpent Spine and Solar Pearl cover most supports and plenty of carries for free. Seed tiers blend Game8's weapon rankings (updated July 2, 2026) with GameWith's current list, siding with the fresher read where they split. Convinced a signature deserves S anyway? That's what the vote buttons are for.
