WhenGenshin Impactwas first released, there was onlyone polearm character, Xiangling. However, one year later, the list grew very quickly. Of course, with new polearm characters,Genshin Impactalso releases new weapons of this type. To know which ones are worth using, players can refer to this tier list.
Polearm Tier List In Genshin Impact
This list will include every5-star and 4-star polearm up until version 2.1. Two 3-star polearms will also be mentioned as they’ve been proven to perform to an extent.
5-star weapons:
4-star weapons:
Unlike theniche catalyst,Everlasting Moonglow, every 5-star polearm is worthy of S-Tier.Staff of Homa,Primordial JadeWinged-Spear, andVortex Vanquisherare all S-Tier DPS weapons. Any DPS can utilize this polearm, and sub-DPS can also benefit from the damage boost.
Engulfing LightningandSkyward Spineare both great options for support and sub-DPS characters. Notable users for these polearms are Raiden Shogun and Xiangling.
As for the 4-star weapons,DeathmatchandBlackcliffPoleeasily take the top spot. They’re the best offensive 4-star weapon and can be an easy alternative if players don’t own a 5-star.
A-Tier
The Catch is a new additionto the A-Tier polearm. This weapon is an amazing choice for burst-reliant characters and can be a great substitute for Engulfing Lightning.Favonius Lanceis also a great supportive weapon, but it’s more useful for utility than damage.
On the other hand,Crescent PikeandDragon’s Baneare offensive weapons. Crescent Pike is the best polearm for Physical DPS, while Dragon’s Bane is one ofthe best options for Hu Tao.
B-Tier
Lithic Spearis a great polearm, but due to its limitation, it can’t be placed on A-Tier. For Lithic Spear to fully perform, players have to use it with afull Liyue team. Otherwise, it’s pretty average.
3-star weapons:
Two 3-star weapons made it into the C-Tier.White Tasselis an amazing choice for new players. It gives a Critical Rate and Normal Attack damage bonus. However, it’s only obtainable from treasure chests, so players are recommended to save one max-refined White Tassel.
As forBlack Tassel, it’s a niche for Zhongli only. This polearm grants HP from its substats, so Zhongli’s shield can be even stronger.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
