Genshin Impact: Top 10 Polearms

POLEARM

WEAPON DESCRIPTION

Favonius Lance

• With a base attack of 565 and a 30.6 percent bonus to Energy Recharge at full level, this weapon won’t hit heavily, but it will keep your burst ready to go.
• Each critical strike has a 60% chance of generating 6 energy for the bearer. While it may not appear to be much, it can rapidly add up. This effect, however, requires the wielder to be on the field.

Lithic Spear

• This weapon gains strength for each character of your squad who is a Liyue native. Strongest among four-star polearms with a base attack of 565 and a 27.6% bonus to ATK at max level.
• The wielder obtains a 7% ATK and a 3% crit rate bonus for each Liyue native in the party.
  • For the polearm to be worthwhile, you’ll need at least 2 stacks of the effect.

Deathmatch

• With a base attack of 454 and a 36.8% increase to crit rate at max level, this weapon is already well-suited for Genshin, where crits are crucial to winning.
• The ATK gain from its impact is even more significant. Your ATK is enhanced by 24% if there is only one foe present. If there’s more, you’ll get a 16 percent boost in ATK and DEF.
  • Excellent for surviving long enough to clear out the mobs before fighting the enemy’s boss.
  • This weapon is a wonderful choice for any DPS polearm user because its impact is always active and has impressive numbers.

Dragon’s Bane

• This weapon is all about using Elemental Triggers, especially Vaporize, with a base attack of 454 and a 221 bonus to Elemental Mastery at max level. It increases the effectiveness delivered to foes affected by Hydro/Pyro by 20%.
• Hu Tao and Xiangling are both capable of constantly applying Pyro to the enemy and exploiting its effects. Xingqiu can use his skill/burst to consistently apply Hydro to the foe.
  • This allows the team to repeatedly build up Vaporize and benefit from the reaction’s multiplier.

The Catch

• You’re going to be fishing quite a bit. To get this weapon and all of its upgrades from the fishing shop in Inazuma, you’ll need a total of 20 Golden Koi, 20 Rusty Koi, and 18 Raimei Angelfish.
• There is only one place where the Raimei Angelfish can be caught. At peak level, it has a 510 base attack and a 45.9% bonus to Energy Recharge.
  • It will deliver a 32 percent burst damage bonus and a 12 percent crit bonus to the wielder’s burst at maximum refinement.

Skyward Spine

• This weapon is one of the strongest basic ATK stats in the game, with a basic attack of 674 and a 36.8% bonus to Energy Recovery at max level.
• This effect provides a permanent 8% increase in crit rate and a 12% increase in attack speed.
• Furthermore, every 2 seconds, normal/charged strikes have a 50% probability of doing a minor AOE for 40% of the wielder’s ATK. You’ll be triggering the AOE almost instantly as it comes off cooldown.
  • Every DPS polearm user should consider this weapon. In terms of refining, each copy raises your crit rate by 2% and your AOE damage by 15% of your ATK.

Vortex Vanquisher

• This weapon already hits heavily, with a base attack of 608 and a 49.6% increase to ATK at the max level. Its impact amplifies this by raising the wielder’s ATK by 4% for 8 seconds every time you land an attack.
• This perk stacks up to five times for the wielder, and the effect is doubled when a shield is active. Furthermore, the strength of your shield has been raised by 20%.
• The shield strength effect is increased by 5% and the ramp-up ATK boost is increased by 1% with each duplicate.
  • At maximum refinement, your shield strength increases by 40%, and your ATK increases by 8% for every stack.

Primordial Jade Winged Spear

• It’s already one of the strongest striking weapons in the game, with a base attack of 674 and a 22.1 percent increase in crit rate. You receive a stack every time you hit an opponent, increasing your ATK by 3.2 percent.
• You can have up to 7 stacks, with full stacks increasing your damage by 12%. Each duplicate raises the ATK boost of each stack by 0.7 percent and the damage buff from full stacks by 3%.
  • Each layer provides 6.0 percent ATK at max refinement, and entire stacks inflict 24 percent greater damage.

Staff of Homa

• This weapon is already powerful, with a base attack of 608 and a 66.2 percent increase in crit damage. You acquire an ATK bonus based on 0.8 percent of your maximum HP at all times.
• If you have less than 50% health, this impact is increased by 1% of your maximum HP. To reinforce this impact, it also comes with a continual 20% boost in your maximum HP.
• In terms of refining, each duplicate increases the HP bonus by 5%, the initial ATK bonus by 0.2 percent, and the ATK gains below 50% health by another 0.2 percent.
  • At maximum refining, you’ll get 40% more HP, 1.6 percent more ATK, and an additional 1.8 percent ATK boost while below 50% health.

Engulfing Lightning
