by Rust is a bow that we can get randomly by redeeming wishes on any banner in the game. It stands out for being one of the best four-star bows for those archers whose damage is based on generating Normal Attacks continuously in Genshin Impact .
Because its passive focuses solely on enhancing the damage of Normal Attacks, it is a bow that will only be used by characters who have the Main DPS role in the group, so it will not be very useful if we equip it to anyone. another character who has a different role than this one.
The bad thing about this arc is that most of the Main DPS that use this type of weapon, such as Ganyu , Lyney or Tignari , base their playing style on continually using Charged Attacks, something that will greatly limit the amount of characters who will be able to take advantage of this weapon.
ATTRIBUTES OF RUST IN GENSHIN IMPACT
Let’s start with his statistics:
- Base Attack Level 1 : 42.
- Base Attack Level 90 : 510.
The Base Attack that this weapon has is medium range within the existing four-star ranges; shares the same amount of Base Attack as Last Chord , Serenade of Calm , Moonlight Prototype, and Emerald Slayer’s Bow.
Its secondary attribute is the following:
- Attack % Level 1 : 9%.
- Attack % Level 90 : 41.35%.
As a secondary stat, Rust will grant its wearer +41.35% Attack at level 90; a balanced amount that is not bad at all, but this attribute is already very repeated in the majority of four-star bows.
His Passive Skill confers the following effect:
- R1 : +40% damage to Normal Attacks and -10% damage to Charged Attacks.
- R5 : +80% damage to Normal Attacks and -10% damage to Charged Attacks.
Its passive is quite simple, it allows us to greatly increase the damage of Normal Attacks permanently, which makes it a magnificent weapon for any character whose main source of damage depends on this type of attacks.
In exchange for this, we will suffer a small loss of damage in the Charged Attacks of its bearer, therefore, it will be better to avoid characters whose damage depends on this type of attacks.
WHAT CHARACTER DO I PUT IT TO?
As we have already mentioned before, the objective will be to equip it on characters who have the Main DPS role and their main source of damage is their Normal Attacks:
Yoimiya is undoubtedly one of the best options to equip this bow, since she is a character who is limited to generating Normal Attacks continuously while she is imbued with the Pyro Element through her Elemental Skill.
That is why we will be very interested in equipping him with this bow to be able to enhance this type of attacks even more. In fact, his best Artifact Set, which would be the Reminiscence of Purification, is also aimed at enhancing the damage of Normal Attacks, so it will combine very well with this weapon.
Tartaglia is another of the characters who can take advantage of Rust, since we will be very interested in increasing the damage of his Basic Attacks imbued with Hydro by his Elemental Skill since they are very fast and generate decent damage.
This character can also use an Artifact Set called Heart of the Depths to continue amplifying the damage of his Normal Attacks. Of course, he will not generate as much damage as Yoimiya, since this character has an Enabler role in his best teams.
Other characters who take advantage of it:
- Fischl : It works quite well with this character if we take her as Main DPS to Physical Damage, but for this we also have another arc called Night Waltz that suits her better and at the end of the day, she is a character that looks much more like Support DPS because the damage and application of Electro that he generates with his Elemental Skill.
