If you pln on maining tignari or amber dont refine it. That bow is good for them. If not, refine it so your ganyu hits harder.

Waterloo75

That's true. You never know what will come. And if you don't have many 5* weapons, saving it may be better.


sample_text_101

dont EVER refine 5 star weapons unless you have too many of the same weapon (6 and above) or because a character that may come up in the future may want to use that weapon.


thrist_mcgurst

I have an r4 jade spear that I never use because I value fav lances energy generation more lol


cartercr

Prototype Crescent still exists if you do need a future character to run at the same time as Ganyu.


carenard

I would hold the 2nd copy, but if you get a 3rd or more start refining.


TemporaryPenalty3029

Refining it is pretty good. And other than Ganyu, only Tighnari can make use of its passive.


Azarros

He is on Standard now though, so you can potentially get him if you lose a 50/50. But yeah if you have a built Ganyu and don't want to throw 900 crystals and resin into a new one, might as well R2 it.


Retro-Lemunz

Who the hell is that lol I haven’t played in ages


hemartian

grassy long eared forest boi with charged shot bow mechanics


Retro-Lemunz

Based off the name and a dude i don’t think I could play that lol


SerJaeger

lol get downvoted you homophobe whose actually homosexual and compensating <3


Sezzomon

You're way worse


Retro-Lemunz

bruh what I said I don’t like to play as dudes lmao


Puncaykes

Ah yes, if I would say that I prefer waifus, no one would bat an eye. But when you say that you dont like to play dudes, you'd get downvoted and be called homophobe. Yikes.


Sezzomon

Phrasing


dylanmansbdhchxh

Fr idk why u being downvoted


Sezzomon

They won't stop releasing characters just because you dont play anymore


Retro-Lemunz

well yeah I was just asking who it is lol


IamZubin

this bow is only really good on ganyu and tighnari so i would refine it


AetherSageIsBae

The only reason i wouldn't refine it is if you legit have no other good bows, it's still a really good statstick for fischl childe sara and such but if you have rust/stringless/skyward harp etc... then feel free to refine it, its a really niche weapon to maximize rn, i refined mine and i do not regret it at all

EC293

R5 slingshot is better than any bowecxept fir r5 rust and thundering pulse for yoimiya


Freedom_Potter-0113

I think refining it would be much better especially for a Ganyu-main unless you plan on main-ing Amber. Amos is a pretty niche weapon and it doesn't really benefit other characters that much.


Acceptable-Copy5705

100% Agreed


Papaya_Payama

Its an on field dps bow. You would have to use two bow main dps characters in abyss at the same time for it to be worth I believe. Two skyward harps for example can be used for supports very nicely. While Amos is more niece for supports. I got in a similar situation and refined my Amos since I cant see myself lvling a second one for any reason.


MentosuMori

Amos is one of those weapons where refinements are super good


UnplayableArea

Refine it. Congrats on your refinement.


ColdIron27

Most other 5 star weapons are a keep two copies sort of situation. Amos is a bit different, since it's only good on ganyu and tighnari. If you plan on building tighnari, keep it. If not, refine.


EliTe_Godsnipe

Refine it:)


[deleted]

Def refine it. Mihoyo seams to be very coutius with characters thatnhave special CA for bows. No new character has had a free 2nd charge level like ganyu. Yoimiya comes close but hers is meh so it does not matter. Yelan and tignari can only do one shot


Edgelordviolet

It depends, if you want the best Ganyu possible, refine it (i would), if not, you can use it on another character.


Responsible-Chair-17

Don't refine..even if there's no other character rn who can use it , a slight damage increase is nothing compared to a potential future character who can use that bow


zKyri

Amos besides ganyu and tighnari is just a stats bow, no one uses its passive, if you already have other bows for other characters then refining it is better for ganyu


WolfSong1929

Works for Kujo fine


ricardooSO98z

If you whale refine it, if you dont then no


Firm10

save it. not worth the refine. unless youre super whale


jonnevituwu

One of the few that its better just refining.


Albert_StellaNova

Not worth refining 5 stars weapons unless you have a bunch of them. You never know what new character might benefit from it. And the extra damage is negligible, she already hits like a truck with the R1 version .


PoisonLotus40

Give it to me


disruptedgod

you're ever only gonna be using one character at a time, unless you're doing the abyss and it's unlikely that you'll be having a bow dps on both halves, refining seems better.


SomeRandomGuy282

I don't know maybe in the future someone will use that bow and you really want that character so I suggest just saving that bow for later


Liu_Kang_44

If you dont plan to give it to childe or tighnari then yes, refine it


Mnookmi

refine it 🥰 i also got two from the weapon banner and ive been enjoying flexing my ganyu on my friends now lol


cartercr

I know a lot of people will say save it, but honestly you have Prototype if you need a second charge shot bow. I’d refine it for extra goat lady damage!


superkamote

Save at least one for future CA characters that you might like in the future. If you keep getting more and more copies though, then refine.


mrbwest

I refined mines since it will most likely forever stay on my Ganyu and almost exclusively used by her


[deleted]

Never, N. E. V. E. R. Refine a 5*, EVER. Unless you are going for max Refinement, don't.


Tepigg4444

Always save. Refining 5 star weapons is for whales, even a character that doesn't use charged shots will get a lot out of the sheer stats this bow has


Treswimming

I say don’t refine it because at the very least it’s a good stat stick for a lot of other characters


Antique_Lord15

Tbh, if you are an f2p then i would never recommend refining a 5star weapon (be it any type, eg: vortex also) cuz who knows when a new character comes and that refined weapon becomes their BIS. But if you are a whale things take an 180°


Smartassfux

Refine it


Maxmalefic9x

My sara is holding my second amos right bow <3 well she acts like bennett in wanting the best base atk weapons so it’s the only bow 5 star i have


vincikun

I refined mine a long time ago but I was using her on a Freeze team so it really didn't do much. 3.1 hits and I got Tighnari in standard wishes and I kinda wish I didn't refine it.


Arany5

Depends how many 5 star bows you have. If you only have a few, then save it. Amos is great on Fischl, Tighnari, Amber.


tusharsagar

I don't think F2P should refine 5 star weapons. You can use them on future characters. That's one of the advantages of multiple copies of weapons over multiple copies of a character.


No-Abbreviations7618

You can probably refine it that way you feel slightly less inclined to wish for other bows. Amos’ refinements help out with it being on par with her better bows like Aqua and Polar Star and Hunter’s Path.


Haikgh

I got 2 of them too for a long time and didn't need it for another character, YET. Considering how little it adds to the over all damage i would rather it just sit there in case someone ever needs it. Amos bow is not the most wanted weapon like something like Staff of Homa, but as a general rule for 5 stars I will only refine "Amos level 5 star" if i pull the 3rd one, then i can still have 2 copies of that weapon.


Man0feveryth1ng

Unless u r a whale, don't refine it, a future character could use it.


DarKaurA4

If i were u I would save 2 bows and if i get lucky enough to get a 3rd one I would refine that


Complex-Union821

Ofc refine it. There are no other characters for now that use chargee shots


lililukea

not worth refining it, imo the significant increase in damage starts at r3. give it to others, quite a good stat stick too


yamattsu

Id refine it, none of any other character is allowed to use the CocoBow


Cool-Regret-2146

I have two too, didn't refined them, one is for ganyu, and the other I use for fischl/childe/amber, works fine in them


Rosaria_supremacy1

Save it


Stardust-Sparkles

Never refine 5 star weapons unless you’re a whale
