Genshin 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 73 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 follow GameWith's Version 7.0 weapon rankings (updated August 26, 2026), cross-checked against Game8's current list. Convinced a signature deserves S anyway? That's what the vote buttons are for.
