Genshin Impact: All Swords, Explained

A sword's effectiveness hinges on its wielder's skill, but a superior weapon undeniably amplifies your favorite Genshin Impact character's damage output. However, raw stats aren't the sole determinant; equipping a Mistsplitter Reforged on Nilou won't magically boost her Bountiful Blooms.

Genshin Impact offers a diverse array of swords, categorized into three-star, four-star, and five-star rarities. Optimal weapon choices vary significantly between characters, underscoring the importance of understanding each weapon's stats and passives for building a powerful team. This comprehensive guide details all Genshin Impact sword passives and stats to aid your gacha endeavors.

Five-Star Swords

Five-star swords represent the pinnacle of Genshin Impact weaponry, boasting superior stats and passives compared to lower rarities. Acquisition relies solely on Primogem spending on character banners, making them a coveted prize. While chance governs their acquisition, their power justifies the effort. Note that some characters, especially those with non-ATK scaling, can surprisingly benefit from select three-star options.
