Here’s 3 critical things you need to know about 5-star weapons in Genshin Impact.

This video focuses on 3 biggest reasons why 5-star weapons are a luxury wish that mostly high spending customers (also known as whales) should consider them. This is by no means a video that discourages the viewer to summon the featured 5-star weapon banner but it’s more or less a critical review of why a 5-star weapon currently is not an affordable purchase for the massive playerbase in Genshin Impact. We also include things like feedback and our own opinion on how miHoYo should proceed with these weapon banners in the future.

You could also consider this video as a discussion point for best weapons Genshin Impact has to offer and what are the best teams or characters without them.

Genshin Impact is an open-world gacha game that’s available on PC, PS4, Switch and mobile devices (iOS & Android). Genshin Impact features fast gameplay with best RPG elements in an action packed setting.

  1. than again, there's also the option of getting only 5 star weapons, and no characters from standard banner, like me both times I managed to even pull a 5 star from there. (pity is painful, when it turns out to be a weapon you didn't even want, similarly to when you fail 50/50 on Venti banner, and get something useless, like Keqing instead.)

  2. once I got a couple of 5 star characters the hype kinda died down for me. I don’t really pull for simp reasons so it’s mostly for the feeling of getting something new and interesting, but right now I’m not even tempted because none of the new characters fit my preferred playstyle and I’ve got more characters lined up to build anyway. I’m also not that interested in the characters that are too OP, my ego dictates that I should build fun characters, but more importantly ‘bad’ characters that can out-DPS my friends’ dilucs

  3. The last few and probably all the upcoming 5-star DPS will be no doubt overpowered to the point where we won't even need a 4-star weapon, even a max refined 3 star will do just fine…the 5-star weapons will just compensate for our old phased out characters so that they stay somewhat relevant…

  4. Weapon banners are a scam in almost every situation. Basically, if you're not simping for your fav character. They cost just as much as character banners and for what? a couple of damage percents? big deal. Some people have spent hundreds if not thousands for Wolf Gravestone, even though it only gives a 10% increase in damage compared to a R5 crafted weapon.

  7. I decided to roll on weapon banner during staff of homa. Either that or wolf's gravestone would have been a massive upgrade… and I got a lost prayer codex or w/e it's called… it's real nice for my ningguang, but it's literally collecting dust as my 5* units like xiao, diluc, ganyu and childe deal insane dmg with their own 5 star weapons (or xiao with deathmatch)…

    I am waiting for the day that a good catalyst main dps will be available again… although I won't be rolling for klee, as I don't like her as a character, neither do I like her gameplay.

  8. I decided I'd start pulling for 5 star weapons recently after I got some obscene luck. I've only been playing for four months or so now, and have Pity'd both Ganyu and, more recently, Qiqi off of pulling for the main banners. I'm F2P so most of my primogens go to intertwined fate, as well as stardust save for when I need other resources from it, but I do pick up the occasional acquaint from the F2P battlepass or ascending characters from time to time. So it was to my extreme surprise when I pulled Keqing off of a single random acquaint fate. After that, I figured I was lucky enough to have 3 5 stars with very different playstyles and that was what made me decide to pull for weapons now since I have no 5 star weapons at all.

  9. Even if you have 2 teams ready (which I guess half of the players don't have) you'll always want constellation on your 5* …some are really good like Childe's and Xiao's c6….we want to get some good 5* weapons but we absolutely can't waste primogems on weapons…

  10. I feel like they should separate 2 weapons in 1 banner to rotating 2 banners just like character banner. The current RNG is just not that enticing enough to push a lot of people over the edge, it's too big of a hurdle for most people. I don't know if they will get more money or losing money from doing that, but I don't mind spending some money if I'm guaranteed to get what I want

  11. I tried my luck on the PJWS banner and got it within 3 single pulls. I thought the rates were good, but never tried again.
    Weeks later I saw what happened to Teccy and I wheezed.
    This weapon banner system needs to be revamped imo.

  13. Weapon banner is a trap.
    x13 gravstones 0-1 staff of homa go ask tectone he is the perfect example of why you should NEVER summon on the weapon banner.
    One 5 star weapon +4stars weapons or make it 100% 50/50 and it's not and anybody with half a brain knows it's not.
