The 10 WORST Limited 5 Star Weapons in Genshin Impact



My opinion on the 10 worst limited 5 star weapons in Genshin Impact. It’s hard to definitely say what is worse or better especially when some are so similar. So don’t put an insane amount of emphasis on some of the placements.

  1. I would argue that kokomi weapon got a lot better ever since furina came out. Kokomi mono hydro team with kokomi onfield doing damage. Furina and yelan will increase the damage output of kokomi this means that the value from her signature increases as kokomi is doing damage.

  2. The First Great Magic is actually Ganyu's overall best weapon even without stacking her teams with other cryo units. It's also Ambers overall BiS and Tighnari can make great use of it as well (my TFGM is fought over by Ganyu and Amber, Lynney currently has Amos, LOL). As an archer main, If I had to single out a limited 5 star bow to go on this list, I'd be more likely to put Thundering Pulse on here as it is only slightly better than R5 Rust on Yoimiya and Childe may be the only other bow user who can use it's passive, It's just a stat stick for most other archers who have better and more universal options. I'm missing only 2 of the 5 star bows on my account (I have ALL the archers, built and used. I even have Hunters Path) and this and Polar Star are the only 2 Bows I'm missing and honestly Polar Star is the only one I feel like I can't replace with the other bows available (Still waiting for a decent Polar Star weapons banner).

  3. The stupid purple doughnut is the only time I ever refined a 5* weapon. No regrets, nobody could make use of it. I got two of those while wishing for engulfing lightning when raiden and kokomi were together in same banner.

  4. Nice video!
    But I disagree about Moonglow.

    Kokomi's a good driver and has good personal danage whilst doing so. Even prior to Furina she was a solid, underrated driver but now with Furina she's a really strong driver with higher personal damage than she's ever had before.

    That't not to say that Moonglow is good; Kokomi is never the main source of damage on a team (apart from as a bloom trigger, where she prefers Sac Frags over Moonglow) and you would generally prefer to go for a 5-star weapon for a character that's doing a greater portion of the team's damage. But it's certainly better than Jadefall's Splendor at the very least.

  5. I agree with weapons 8 – 1. However, i’d argue that freedom sworn would be number 10 and furina’s weapon would be number 9. Freedom sword is good but most characters that need EM can use iron sting or xiphos while furina’s weapon is very niche.

  6. Kokomi wasn’t supposed to be a dps, she’s a driver mainly for transformative reactions. Her weapon and constellations help her do a bit more than just help with reaction, she can do more damage than other drivers like sucrose or xingqiu

  7. Im confused why The First Great Magic is on the list and not an other weapon like:

    Key of Khaj-Nisut, its a nilou weapon. Only for nilou. Maybe layla as an hp stat stick. Her teams are already super niche because if her bountiful bloom restrictions.

    Lost prayers of the sacred winds, its a crit stat stick. Thats it. Only works on field and needs time to stack. There are not that much characters that stay on-field for that long and other more recent weapons far outclass it. Neuv,rizzly,hat guy. You also have 4 star options.

    Polar Star, a character needs to use elemental skill, burst, NA and CA to get the full passive. The only one who does that is Childe. Tighnari and Lyney don’t use NA (you can weave one in) but other than that. Just childe. Not the most solid arguments i know.

    Skywards are standard so i believe they don’t count. (Right?)

    I think The First Great Magic is a decent weapon. Your character counts as one of the stacks. Morgana Ganyu whill have at least 1 other cryo character. Tighnari works great with either a Nahida/Baizhu/Kirara/Yaoyao which also means 1 stack. And since it buffs attack% you dont need to worry about choosing between and attack/EM sand. EM will be more optimal. Mamy people will have a Tighnari laying around and if they were unlucky they can use this weapon on him. Great bc hunters path isn’t available anymore.

  8. Lyney's bow can work pretty well since you don't actually need a mono team to make it work
    For example Yoimiya will want Bennett or Xiangling in the team, that's 32% more atk

    Tighnari will want a second dendro as well and he benefits from charged attack buff also, that's another 32% atk + 16% more charged attack damage
