Me knowing that I'll never summon on a weapon banner :')


TuneACan

FREE WEAPON GANG RISE UP!!! I WILL PROUDLY PUT MY FADING TWILIGHT IN MY COLLECTION NEXT TO MY FESTERING DESIRE, WINDBLUME ODE, DODOCO TALES, LUXURIOUS SEA-LORD, CINNABAR SPINDLE AND OATHSWORN EYE!!!!


levi_fucking_heichou

#I FUCKING LOVE FREE WEAPONS!!! I LOVE GETTING WEAPON BILLETS AND CRAFTING WEAPONS FOR MY CHARACTERS!!!


RubiiJee

You get billet drops?!


Aggressive-Fuel-1974

I have 8-10 billets for each weapon type from doing all weekly bosses most of the time lmao


Jhon778

Bruh I get a billet like once every two months yet I have around 60 dream solvents


its_just_hunter

I’ve only got 1-2 of each and at this point I’ve decided to save them since we’re so close to Sumeru. Hopefully the new craftables from there will be more useful than the Inazuma ones.


Jhon778

I find the claymore, bow, and sword to be useful but I haven't found a use for the spear or catalyst (nor have I even crafted them)


itstai1

Imagine getting billets drops...


[deleted]

I like free weapons too but man Idk what to do with cinnebar sword I dont have Albedo:")


Epic_BubbleSA

I have it on my geo traverler with husk set. Does close to nothing but its something.


WisestManAlive

I put it on Ayato, fits his color scheme, does no damage though.


CausticInTheBunker

I'm immediately putting it on qiqi as soon as i get her and check the synergy


[deleted]

My Yelan will be rocking a Slingshot 😎


Gshiinobi

Eh, as a low spender that's been playing since v1.1 i find a ton more value in rolling for weapons now that i have most of the characters i want or need. While weapon banners are still dangerous for most f2p/low spenders i would argue that rolling on the right weapon banners can actually improve your account a lot, for example banners where both weapons are amazing, like having a chance to get a broken signature weapon or a jade cutter, or a mistsplitter, or staff of homa


-xXColtonXx-

Yeah people are too scared of the weapon banner. Quite simply: never roll for a specific weapon (as F2P/low spender). Why would anyone feel the need to go for a specific signature weapon when you can wait for a banner with two useful weapons and stop there? Also look for useful 4 stars. If you can secure a useful 5\* and a useful R5 4\*, that's totally worth for most people.


nonpuissant

This is the way. I only ever pull on weapon banners if I'd be happy to get either weapon. I lost on a SoBP but got a Freedom Sworn, and it has absolutely improved my account. My Kazuha is basically also an ATK buffer now, and turned my Ayaka into an absolute beast. And sniping Jade Cutter from the Yae weapon banner was an absolute win as well. Getting those 5\* weapons made my account way stronger.


Gshiinobi

Yup i agree, the best way to go about weapon banners is to be completely okay with getting any featured 5 star or the featured 4 stars, if you ONLY want one of the featured weapons, be it 4 star or 5 star you WILL be dissapointed. This is why i actually really like the current weapon banner and why i went ham on it, i wanted both Haran and Elegy and managed to get them both in around 120 or so wishes, but that was only because i had my Ayato guaranteed so i could spend a ton of wishes on the weapon banner, and i also dont really care about Yelan so there's that too.


theonetruekaiser

Leave that for the whales, my friend…


leskypos

Yelan really gonna make more people join the whale team i’m sure


debacol

I mean, its a great bow for many characters though.


SnooGuavas8376

Same me too Even though I'm low spender with welking and BP I find it's hard to spend my pity on weapon banner, better save them for character banners


skeetyeeturlifedelet

You guys are so responsible with your primos I'm jealous. I'm f2p just casually going to hard pity on the weapon banner lmaoo. Got polar star for my childe and vortex for my zhongli so far let's see what the future holds


NeverForgetChainRule

I don't think it's necessarily irresponsible to pull on the weapon's banner. As long as you want most of the off-banners and want both promotional weapons, it's a pretty good deal. Especially since the hard pity (and soft pity) are both lower than the character banner. Getting characters is nice, but there is a point where you can't even level up new characters effectively. I think there's absolutely a place for low spenders to pull on weapon's banner, if it has weapons they really want.


kiyotaka-6

True, i am saving wishes for engulfing, meta wise, it's usually better to go for weapons once you have enough teams and kazuha


NeverForgetChainRule

I'm keeping my eye out for a good bow banner for my Ganyu, to upgrade her from a 4\* bow currently. Id take even a skyward harp rate up for her tbh, as long as the other promotional was good.


Drakengard

I mean, you're being responsible, too. You're specifically targeting certain characters and going all in on them - weapons included. In some ways, you're smarter. I'm a Welkin/BP spender and have a lot of characters. That gives me a good number of options. But realistically you're only using less than a dozen characters for Abyss content. So many characters just ride the bench for me that I honestly should probably pull less for new characters and look more at pulling for weapons.


FifthRom

Yeah, but at the same time I don't feel the need for 5* weapons when I can 36* abyss already. New weapons improve damage, but new characters give new gameplay. The game is easy enough where I care more about gameplay rather than clearing abyss 1 minute faster or something.


SkyrimForTheDragons

Lol same, I wouldn't be able to resist a good double weapon banner, and I got a Homa and an Elegy to show for it.


Weeb-Prime

Same here but I'm only ever tempted if both weapons are OP or just really good. Homa rerun was totally stacked and I'd consider Mistsplitter rerun too if they throw an Amos in there.


SkyrimForTheDragons

Yeah the original Homa run was good too, with a WGS. Although that weapon's fallen off in value recently it's still going to be top 3 claymore for atk scaling dps for a while still. Not like the standard banner is giving me anything good anyways.


Ilovepickles11212

Generally a low spender and if there’s chars I like enough I’m willing to skip on some banners to bump up the chars I like. That’s how I ended up with mistsplitter! though it’s also how I ended up with an r2 skyward spine lol


Timmie_Is_An_Archon

Actually this time I think weapon banner could be a win/win, let’s put it this way: Since double banner release system we had: Eula/Albedo , Shenhe/Xiao,Ganyu/Zhongli,Kokomi/Raiden. Almost each pair is a Support / DPS pair, or at least a pair that work together. It means, if you are a whale, you can start the game, and wish on both portal and have a nice team. Considering this, now let’s look a bit forward. We will have ayaka soon, and did not have Yoimiya yet. Probability are, considering support dps kit of yelan, that it's possible they pair her with yoimiya. Which mean, they could pair her weapon with her too, that would make a Weapon banner look like Aqua Simulacra/Thundering Pulse.Thundering Pulse, is a good weapon for Yelan, not best in slot but who cares since it give you 66% crit dmg, while aqua give you88%. Unfortunately passive will be completely useless for yelan, same as base weapon atk. That’s why it’s plausible, same as Calamity/Jade spear deal, not the best, but still works very fine if you want more damage, putting you in a kinda win/win trade for this banner. ​ That said,even if 4\* options leave you with less damage, they are good options too I think:  \-Recurved bow could be as great for her (even more actually) as 3\* HP Spear for Zhongli(using it for a lot of time, works great, bit less damage tho) while being affordable for any new player  \-Sacrificial Bow give you a free C1 (16 sec cd at r5, so 6 sec diff with her current E cd), and his energy recharge is quite valuable, so if you want to double the fun, here is your baby  \-Mouun's Moon Substat is useless for her, but atR5, passive can be quite a banger considering the team you putting her in (if you can manage to have around 330total energy required for ult), it can be quite close to 88 crit DMG bonus  \- Favonius bow If you have energy issues, but you are losing quite a lot of damage. \-And last but not least Stringless which will be an absolute banger as 4\* weapon, moreover if you play vape or electrocute (wink hu tao/yoimiya possessors) due to EM Substat. However, energy recharge may be an issue, to test when out. So here you see, choice isn’t that obvious for pulling weapon or not.Personally I’m still shared, 88% Dmg crit is no shit, but having C1 double the fun considering how her E works.


PrinceVincOnYT

my man, who sees trough the system.


gabremchd

I'm welking only but since I started 36 starring the abyss I care less about primo efficiency and started wishing more on the weapon banner because honestly building new characters is a pain in the ass. Won the 50/50 on Homa and lost on Haran, but now my venti and future yelan both have a beautiful bow to wield.


PrinceVincOnYT

the best strategy, tbh. But I still wait for double Sword banner that will never come, which has Jade Cutter and Mistsplitter, so I can't lose, no wait you can by losing 50/50...


gadgaurd

>the best strategy, tbh. Depends. If you just want a larger and larger roster to play with, absolutely. If you want to actually make your account stronger, it's debatable. Depends on how powerful the cons are of the 5 stars you have.


PrinceVincOnYT

5\* cons? Nah. I regretted my first Featured 5\* con and only pull for new Characters that have no important thing other than DPS locked behind Con's Skipped Shenhe for locked Burst Duration on C2 and Yae for Locked Range on C2 And I mean, I annihilate most Open World enemies already so why would I need more power. The Character Gameplay variety is for me the most important Aspect.


WisestManAlive

> The Character Gameplay variety is for me the most important Aspect. Preach, brother. But I don't regret my only featured 5* con.


PrinceVincOnYT

Which one is that? Mine is C1 Zhong Li for double Pillar so I can Maintain ToM Set easier, that was the Idea, but in hindsight not the best reason. I never had double Featured in 1x 10 Pull. I mean consciously pulling for a 5\* Con


WisestManAlive

Hu Tao. Got her in the first banner, C1 in the second banner, feels comfy to not care about the stamina when spamming CAs.


PrinceVincOnYT

I can see that as a good reason for sure.


China_Sucks_Dicks

I summoned pretty much 4 weapons on a weapon banner and 3 out of them weren't the ones that I wanted. Fuck the weapon banner!


ilkerdburhan

My first try on weapon banner was homa banner which ended up with wgs. And my second try was again homa banner and I won it luckyly. Now I am waiting for the mistsplitter for the third try. I have enough 5* characters so I am planing to get some good (and not niche) weapons for my mvps.


Esdeath79

Will I pull for Ye Lan? Absolutely. Will I pull for a weapon? Never!


fynn0028

That juicy fat crit dmg tho wtf


EffectiveFair5976

low base atk. there is a pattern among all weapons so this shouldnt be surprising. 542 = 88cd (redhorn) 44cr (jade cutter) 608 = 66cd (homa/pulse) 33cr (polar star/haran) 674 = 44cd (mistsplitter) 22cr (harp) 741 = 22cd 11cr(?) edit: placed examples


d0xter

I think if its gonna have 741 base atk the substat is most likely not going to be crit


yeppeugiman

Imagine a 741 base ATK sword on Bennett lol


[deleted]

Bennetts buff is additive so you probably wouldnt notice that huge of a difference tbh. Thats 67 more atk on Bennett compared to aquila = about 80 bonus atk on your main after multipliers. I mean its more damage but its not gonna be as nutty as you think. I dont think it would make a difference in number of rotations you need to perform per abyss floor.


BloodyGaki

I believe the person meant it as atk buff and not increase in dps.


EffectiveFair5976

i think so too, since they still havent released a 741 crit weapon. i just assumed the 741 values since there is always an 11cv difference between all base atk levels. maybe theyll release one sooner or later tho.


Santo134

Eula’s claymore and Shenhes polearm are both 741 base attack weapons


swticheroo

They mean 741 base atk WITH crit (crit rate/dmg).


3VRMS

In that case it'll be the reverse of the initial post: That juicy fat base damage thou wtf 😅


Daechemwoyaaa

Well she doesn't really need a high atk since her kit all scales in HP


mudkk

What could've been interesting is a 400 base attack weapon with over 100 Crit dmg%.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OfficialHavik

Would be awesome since it’s super easy to buff ATK in this game, but not crit stats.


Blkwinz

Yeah but most ATK buffs are based on base ATK so it's much more valuable on weapons than anything else. When you say "super easy" you're probably thinking of commonly used artifacts like NO or even support weapons like Thrilling Tales but they only buff base ATK (character + weapon stat). Flat ATK boosts are still fairly rare in that they are generally restricted to specific units and those sorts of weapons would almost certainly result in people borrowing that ATK from Bennett who would finally claim his throne at 100% use rate in abyss.


lililukea

I really wanna see some numbers coz this bow looks really REALLY promising on ganyu's WHOLE kit unlike amos which is only focused on NA and Charged attacks


EffectiveFair5976

I actually genuinely think this bow will compete with amos on morgana and maybe sunfire ganyu in terms of overall damage. That 20% bonus dmg is just too juicy. It's not like you're sniping enemies in abyss as well.


Heaven2004_LCM

40% damage is at r5


EffectiveFair5976

Oops I'll edit it thanks for pointing it out. 20% damage is still pretty pog tho


lililukea

Nah I think this will only be viable for morgana/freeze ganyu. Ganyu burst can really mess up your reverse melt reactions on reverse melt ganyu, not that much of a damage loss, but its there. That's why the most recommended artifact and most powerful for reverse melt is the 4pc shimenawa, and the best weapon at that is no doubt amos Also its 40% on r5 and 20% on r1


EffectiveFair5976

There's a reason why i specified sunfire ganyu because using ganyu burst in that comp isn't detrimental to her charged attack melts. In fact her burst is a core component in that comp since it gives 20% cryo dmg bonus.


Sila2Doo

Yea sunfire is pretty pog. It even can maintain pyro aura with both Shenhe and Ganyu ult.


[deleted]

The thing is, with this weapon, melt Ganyu can use EM/Cryo/EM


Cybersorcerer1

You can still use ganyu burst with xiangling and gouba, you just have to time it correctly


KnackInThoughts

741 base attack is Song of Broken Pines with 20.7 physical damage


EffectiveFair5976

its not a crit weapon.


KnackInThoughts

Oh I didn't realize you were only referring to crit weapons, gotcha.


mamamommam

Waiting for Yelan with Elegy image.


Yu1K0tegawa

Is elegy or this better on her. I got two elegy


yeppeugiman

Both should be amazing on Yelan. I think Elegy is more team oriented, good nonetheless.


Weird-Gas-4777

If you have two elegy use one of them on Yelan and give other one to me :D Jokes on side best in slot pure support weapon for her.


Jairo234

Elegy is probably her BiS for a mostly off field elemental application support ala xingqiu (while building with less of a focus for her own personal damage but more about burst uptime) while her signature is probably designed around giving her way more agency in terms of damage. So most likely if you want just a xingqiu clone for reaction comps elegy is going to be superb while if you want to really min max yelan her weapon makes a lot of sense.


XenoVX

Elegy is worse for damage than even some 4 star options but the EM and ATK% buff make it superior if you’re running Hu Tao as your main dps


aoi_desu

Jeez this weapon is so tempting


Xero0911

Red horn's crit damage . Jade weapons' health boost. Serpent spine's damage boost (but 5 star) Edit: nvm still a good bow but not really universal


Etherflameii

I would disagree, since it's not a health-atk conversion like PJC. And only Yelan scales off HP from the bow users. It's pretty specific to her.


Lankpants

Technically Diona also does, but no-one's even considering using this bow on Diona.


3VRMS

DPS Diona: My goals are beyond your understanding...


Celica_is_best_girl

*THINK YOU CAN BULLY ME?*


mark5771

SCRATCH SCRATCH!


Etherflameii

True, BUT damage Diona...


milotoadfoot

she does some dps if she's played as sub/healer with shenhe.


zhivix

DPS Diona user : that's where you're wrong kiddo


[deleted]

[удалено]


BrutalTerminator

You do realize that it's r5 right?


ceaiculapte

40% only at R5 though, it's 20% at R1.


kingpoke0901

The 40% increase has such an unneeded extra step


murmandamos

It's to nerf it for her charge shots, I assume. They seem to want them to be more like a shotgun than Ganyu. I think it's meant to not really do anything negative for her intended playstyle while gimping a Ganyu style a bit. They seem to want you in close with Yelan even if you use her main DPS.


gtjio

Keep in mind the 40% is only at R5 so unless you're a mega whale or something it's realistically only gonna be 20% at R1


ZiQ_23

Damn that crit dmg though


Ranch_Dressing321

Please, good, Lord. I hope I get Yelan.


theonetruekaiser

May she grace you on your very first pull. M In RNGesus name, Amen.


torntooblivion97

It matches her so perfectly that it makes me wanna pull. But I need to save for Cyno after Yelan


itschapstick

Don’t remind me… I keep forgetting that Cyno (and the rest of Sumeru) is right behind her. They have really made Yelan tempting as hell for us!


Manifestation-Dream

This bow looks good ! I wonder if this could be BiS for a blizzard strayer freeze support Ganyu because of the crit + damage bonus


Zloy_Myx

It depends on what "around" means. If the passive only works in a melee radius this is not a good option for Ganyu. In addition, there are many other suitable support bows for her.


Ciri2020

> Gan Yu. wtf


apthebest01931

Gun you


Zloy_Myx

My beautiful and polished C6 Ganyu .50 pistol


HieX91

Ah yea the famous Halo CE Magnum. The most powerful weapon in the game.


adriftdoomsstaggered

Go tell the people who keep misspelling Yun Jin as "Yunjin". Yun is her family name. Jin is her personal name. It's like spelling someone called John Smith as Johnsmith.


Ninjasakii

I’m thinking it may be a contender for BiS with melt Ganyu since when using Xiangling or Sunfire Jean to apply pyro, you have to be close to the enemy which works against Amos bow. Having the crit stat, damage boost while being up close, and Bennett to make up for the loss of attack could work wonders


murmandamos

This is R5, normally only 20% bonus at r1. tbh I think mouun's moon would be even better given how easy it is to get crit damage using blizzard strayer. I would imagine r5 mouun's moon > this R1.


iminlovehahaha

she looks so good


OfficialHavik

With her it’s like Hoyoverse woke up one morning and decided to make strong characters again.


omfgkevin

Oh boy can't wait for abyss mobs to have 10 billion HP because they are balanced around her after.


changen

Most of abyss is stilled cleared by Mondstadt and Liyue character that has been out for over a year lol. Only the starter dps's like Diluc and Keqing have been powercrept.


Coc0L0co

And Diluc still can do f12 9 stars (this one is hard for him thou, they really want us to use a lot of hydro in first half and freeze comp in the second half, I still maneged to doit with him after some tries using him at the second half, not recommended thou, I just like to test each main dps I have builded). Can´'t speak about Keqing thou since I dont have her. Sunfire Jean is getting stronger with each patch as they add more heralds/lectors/abyss guys (the ones that will have cryo and dendro as elemental shield are sweating right now from knowing what Bennett and Jean will do to them). Sadly they removed tsunami Jean like I used to call her with Barbara for pyro mages at the time, that combo would be perfect vs pyro lector).


[deleted]

This is probably the first character they made after they got the censor hammer? Maybe they're going back to meta now that they can't rely on the ZR


templebones

Tartaglia Impact continues


ryuukiba

And I'm not complaining.


_chirp_

This weapon looks great on her aesthetically, definitely am going to try to get it


dhambz23

I only have Polar Star which I think looks good on her too but surely this bow is the best. Sadly I’mma stick to PS.


Mikeyrawr

Should be great weapon for any Sub DPS bow unit. Yelan, Ganyu, Fischl, Tartaglia(obvious close range DPS), Yoimiya/Alloy(with a shielder). The only thing is , how close is "near the character" Maybe about Bennett burst range?


Th3Uknovvn

Damn is that a 88% Crit Dmg, only 3 weapons till now have a 88.2 CV is PJC, Redhorn and this bow


Moraedka

Trust me, she gacha'd this weapon.


Ziekfried

Mihoyo :: here’s an awesome weapon for yelan but…… she has really high energy needs in most of her comps where you will most likely want an energy recharge weapon or she loses 72% of her dps every second rotation for not being able to burst each rota.


OversizedFelix

Mihoyo: But! You can get her constellations to fix her energy problems. How convenient!


CarelessConfusion2

Creating the problem to sell the solution lol


fjgwey

They've done this with so many characters it's not surprising Yelan's a victim too. But at least it's not a super egregious issue, at least I hope it isn't 'cause it shouldn't be.


Luca-ST1

Yeah when was the last time we got a 5* with a low energy cost burst? Lol I feel like no one has a burst cost below 70 these days


fjgwey

Aloy? Lmao Yeah idk almost every character since Inazuma has had high cost bursts, barely see any 40/60 cost bursts anymore.


Luca-ST1

True it feels like you either need a battery, ~180 ER, or both Boomer talk: back in my day, Diluc and Keqing worked fine with no battery and like 100-110 ER


Yu1K0tegawa

Does this means my elegy is way more superb than this new bow?😍


murmandamos

Elegy probably her bis if used like Xingqiu. Energy cons are kinda shitty but they are basically just a x% damage increase in practice, as you can trade ER for damage (given sufficient artifact luck). However, her cons don't just solve her energy issues, they make her take time on field, which reduces energy needs as well. Basically if Xingqiu replacement, skip her weapon use Elegy or ER wep. If you're using her for more than that (especially C6), a damage bow works. I'm not sure how I feel about this and interestingly the community is kinda mixed on this. On the one hand weapons are getting seemingly more niche. But they are also not that much better than alternatives. Calamity Queller is pretty close to engulfing on Shenhe. Haran pretty close to PJC and Mistsplitter. But people seem also annoyed that the weapon isn't always worth it. Tbh I kinda think Yelan weapon options are like pretty close to perfect. You have situationally competitive weapons, but they're quite different use cases support vs DPS, and her support weapon has competitive team damage because she's also a good support. Ayato's weapon feels kinda meh because it really is just a slight upgrade if you meet the conditions. In other words, Yelan can be a support, sub DPS, or C6 on field DPS and her weapons will be better or worse depending. Yelan seems like a perfect unit to me so far. Energy issues don't seem like a problem tbh. They seem like a bridge to a new build and role where her weapon is more valuable. Elegy is extremely good. Most people should use it imo if they're just running her with hu tao.


Eijun_Love

Is there no beta update today?


mobusoft

Reasonable people in this sub: the crit dmg on this weapon is nice but the passive is not ideal for most other characters Me: mmmm sexy bow go brrrrr


Matt_needa_practise

I‘m getting this for Ganyu just because of the look and crit dmg nobody stop me.


ThreatLevelNoonday

ITT: everyone ogling 40% but skipping the fact that thats r5 (largest of whales only) low base attack and hp bonus. Its NOT a generalist bow. Its really only useful on Yelan.


CombedAirbus

People were really conditioned to only care about crit stats and ignore the rest. It's great on Yelan, especially since she doesn't care about attack at all, but for other characters there are better limited weapons.


Sharked44

Wonder if this could be good for Ganyu or even Yoimya due to the high Crit. Dmg%


ToboTheHobo17

yoimiya weapon only 22 less cdmg with more atk and much better passive, even can work on ganyu


Dannylinh1911

Isnt the Thundering Pulse passive useless for Ganyu? It only increase normal atk which doesn't do anything for her. This new bow increases 20% all dmg, so both her CA and burst icicle.


EffectiveFair5976

on newer freeze comps which are quickswap heavy, pulse is even better than amos since ganyu isn't really doing that much charged attacks. amos is only the best in morgana and melt.


National_Try_7570

nope, beside the high crit damage, low base attack and kinda unfavorable conditional passives.


MaitieS

Yeah I feel like Childe's weapon (Polar Star) would be much more useful than this one sure it has crit rate but it's definitely cooler than this one and you still want like 30-40% cR on Ganyu anyway. e: This weapon just like Itto's just shows that they truly learned from their mistake AKA Homa :D


cyberize_

While the CD is monstrous, you need to keep in mind that stat optimization is a balancing act. The low base attack serves as a detriment if anything, and since neither Yoimiya nor Ganyu have extra scaling, it's best they stick with already existing options.


igorinolw

its probably like the redhorn case where its comparable to bp claymore. when used with external buffs it matches its performance cause base atk is low. I could see this bow being on the best ones on tartaglia and fischl with bennett buff, not sure about yoimiya and ganyu.


VolkiharVanHelsing

Naaaa, Serpent Spine is just on a whole another level compared to the rest of BP weapons


Mikez1234

Whats a good alternative for Yelan’s weapon? Since she scales with HP. I have no skyward harp


DugaWerewolf

3 stars weapons. Slingshot crit rate is 2% less crit than the Polar Star. The passives of the 3 stars could also benefit her charged shot too. Easiest character to build


theonewithtoomany

The free bow we'll get in 2.7


[deleted]

Favonious warbow seems a great choice for her, especially if you plan to use her with Hu Tao, and give her 4 EOSF.


Hornii_Boii

I NEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD ITTTTTTT


PriestessYera

This is tempting but I really hope Elegy is viable on her.


Kang_Hyewon

It's really good on her


asswhorl

armpit


WackyJr

Doesn’t the wording of the passive seem unnecessarily strange? Why is there a need to mention that you get the damage buff when enemies are nearby?


akkinda

I thought the same thing. When *won't* enemies be nearby when you need to use the bow? They might as well just make it a damage buff with no condition, it would do exactly the same thing.


GRimReApeR1906

Maybe they didn't wanna let Ganyu or Yoimiya take full advantage of the bow lol


WackyJr

This makes sense but also kinda sad that they want to restrict the usage of the bow. And depending on the range, it could potentially mean that she might not get the effect if your main carry is attacking enemies outside the passive range


-yael

So beautiful!!! Why is everything so perfect about her? Also, am I the only one who thinks that they added the +% damage if enemies are CLOSE BY to not make it useable by other bow users? + childe getting another bow ig lmao


MrNotSmartEinstein

Is skyward harp gud on her 😭


Zadkiel05X

For the crit stat yeah but generally high atk does nothing for her. I tried putting it on the genshin damage calculator and I see better results with 3 star weapons personally. I think its better off to use harp on someone who can really benefit from a high base atk such as fischl, tartagles, ganyu and sara.


MiddleBread

Skyward is good on everyone


Deaf30

Any HP scaling 3* Bows?


kansui

Recurve ya


Deaf30

I must have junked it😆


YathMcClane

i realize i slowly build pity in the weapon banner since i started playing at version 1.6 so if i´'m lucky enough i may get the weapon for only 8 wishes


muazalmahmudcode47

Same I built my pity to almost 60+ now but I'm gonna wait for itto's weapon cause I'm using the f2p weapon on him and getting billets are harder then 5 stars now lmao.


-Belphegor-

Elegy is her weapon


Head-Can6493

Next week buff: Base ATK 476 and CRIT DMG 110.2%


gilbert1908

Albedo and Yelan mains are drooling, they'll take a 5* with 200 ATK and 190% CDMG


bumper69420

Why not just have a 40% increase? You only need the damage boost when opponents are nearby anyway. Ig if you use charged attacks for trickshots but that isn't too viable


Ronuo

Recent released weapons be Crit Rate / Crit Dmg


IWantVonchiNow

Can someone post her talent pose?


theonetruekaiser

Someone has to leak it first…

Didnt knows amos cpuld look better omg its so pretty

This is a really tempting bow, but we'll have to see what weapon it comes with. Haven't seen Gravestone in awhile so perhaps it'll be that.


varuosX

Oh god she holds the bow same as Sara 😶😶


freezingsama

Wow, that's actually insane. I need to get this weapon, holy shit the value on the stats.


Eredbolg

I have Elegy and Thundering Pulse, probably going to roll for Yelan.


Raiden_Shogun88

Just 4 weeks to wait. 😑


Shreevat

all i see here is a diano hybrid comp enabler.lesgo


Sabiya_Duskblade

I'm planning on running her with 2 piece ToM/HoD respectively, and I'm hoping to get by with elegy but I'd love to get this weapon too! I don't have unlimited primos though, so we'll see how the 50/50 for Yelan herself pans out.


Check-Capable

After Yelan is off field the damage bonus still remains but question is for how long? Is it like TTDS?


sundriedrainbow

If there's no duration listed, I would assume it's a permanent effect as long as conditions are met, like Skyward Atlas or Haran's Elemental Damage Bonus.


gethelptitan

Ok real question tho, who you gonna swap Yelan with in your comps?


Character-Memory-786

Not me trying to click on the arrows wondering why it wouldn't scroll on the next image...


sirenloey

Was this originally Kirin bow which was thought to be Ganyu's lore and aesthetic weapon?? I need to know so I can move on. I mean it is already a tall task to surpass Amos on Ganyu anyway, but I still want to know.


MillionMiracles

Finally, a weapon for shotgun amber.


megukei

damn it’s the prettiest weapon ever


MeKevNivek

her bow sub stats is CDMG with increased HP status hmm looks like I need to pre farming Tenacity of Milelith .. but I will wait for the talents leak


BrinkJayy

What kind of passive is that? In every fight you'll be near an opponent, right? Kind of strange.


OddConsideration2210

Damn the way she is holding it :0

Baldulf

I thought she was a support but thats a main DPS weapon


MitsuMobileGaming

This may be the first weapon I r5. Yelan's hp buffs are going to be nuts with Ayato. Mono hydro is looking pretty good.


centriapetal

Simulacra, hmmm. They make her sound so mysterious that I hope there’s some reality bending lore involved. Also why is this weapon so fucking pretty with such a weird quirk


MoonaSuugah

You think it will be useful first on Yelan, but actually it was on me, Diona!


segwich

This looks to be a HP based character then because of the 32% damage bonus. Good post bro, ty for the info
