[Top 5] Genshin Impact Best F2P Bows That Are Powerful (And How To Get Them)

Ganyu is as pretty as ever


There are 11 characters included in Genshin Impact that use a bow when in battle. They can cover lots of roles: Diona is a healer, Ganyu is a DPS, Venti is a crowd-controller…Thus they need different builds and different stats, which means different weapons. In this guide, we show you the top 5 of the bows included in the game that you can get without difficulty and quickly equip your characters.

5. Favonius Warbow

We start in 5th place with the warbow from the Favonius set. Both its substat and passive ability are made to increase the characters’ energy recharge. This stat is really helpful for supports like Sara, who mainly works as a battery, or Diona, who constantly needs her burst to heal the damaged characters in the party.

Why This Item Is Great:

  • CRIT hits have a 60% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12s

How To Get This Item: 

  • Standard Wish Wanderlust Invocation 
  • All Character Event Wishes and Weapon Event Wishes

4. Blackcliff Warbow

This is one of the bows that can be useful for almost every character. In Genshin Impact, even if you’re a support, the healing and controlling abilities also deal damage. A bit more of ATK and a bit more of Crit. Damage never hurts anyone. Well, except your enemies that is. That said, DPSs like Ganyu are the ones that benefit the most. 

Why This Item Is Great:

  • After defeating an opponent, ATK is increased by 12% for 30 s. This effect has a maximum of 3 stacks, and the duration of each stack is independent of the others.

How To Get This Item: 

  • Paimon’s Bargains

3. The Stringless

Now, Elemental Mastery is a tricky stat, which not everyone knows how to use. Basically, it increases the damage made by elemental reactions. With that, it’s obvious this bow needs to be wielded by a support that is both dealing damage with skill and burst and creating reactions. An example can be Fischl’s Oz or venti’s vortex.

Why This Item Is Great:

  • Increases Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 24%.

How To Get This Item: 

  • Standard Wish Wanderlust Invocation 
  • All Character Event Wishes and Weapon Event Wishes

2. Rust

In 2nd place, we find the weapon that fits Tartaglia the best. Why is that? Because it increases Normal attacks by a lot. When refined it can even get to 80%! Although it’s a pity it decreases charged attacks’ damage, people like Tartaglia or Yoimiya can live without them. That said, Someone like Ganyu won’t benefit at all from a bow like this and would prefer the last one.

Why This Item Is Great:

  • Increases Normal Attack DMG by 40% but decreases Charged Attack DMG by 10%.

How To Get This Item: 

  • Standard Wish Wanderlust Invocation 
  • All Character Event Wishes and Weapon Event Wishes

1. Skyward Harp

As the only 5-star, it’s obvious that this Skyward Harp gets 1st place. This weapon is a mix between the already shown Harbinger of Dawn and the Skyward Atlas. It gives the user an increase in Crit. rate and Crit. Damage, like that sword, and off-field damage frequently, like that catalyst. This is a weapon that can make the purest support into a DPS. Yes, I’m talking about you Venti.

Why This Item Is Great:

  • Increases CRIT DMG by 20%. Hits have a 60% chance to inflict a small AoE attack, dealing 125% Physical ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 4s.

How To Get This Item: 

  • Standard Wish Wanderlust Invocation
  • All Weapon Event Wishes

Item details: https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Skyward_Harp

 

You can see there are lots of bows for lots of characters. Even if Genshin Impact’s build and battle system are not that difficult, you still need to be careful of talents, artifacts, and weapons. That’s why you should use the knowledge from this guide to choose the best weapon that suits your character, of course, you can try other weapons if you think they’re better!
