by Finally we bring you the last Tier List that deals with the best swords in Genshin Impact , unlike other weapons I must say that there is a very insurmountable abyss between the five and four stars, also the vast majority of the four have Attack as a substat %.
In this case, it is true that there are quite a few weapons that very few characters take advantage of and it limits us a lot when it comes to equipping ourselves, but it is true that this also makes them shine more than other more generic ones.
That said, let’s start to see the best according to our criteria and we will go down little by little until we reach the least recommended.
TIER S
Unfortunately, in the case of Tier S in this section of weapons, all the chosen ones are five stars, in other weapons such as catalysts or bows there were some extremely good ones, but in swords the difference between five and four stars is too insurmountable.
REFLECTION OF DARKNESS
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dark Reflection has all the stats you could want in a five-star sword: top-of-the-line Base Attack, good Critical Damage, and a passive that gives you a permanent 12% Bonus Elemental Damage.
In addition, by making Normal Attacks imbued with some element or by rolling the Ultimate Ability, we can get charges of Fog Cutter Emblems that will allow us to get up to 28% Elemental Damage Bonus (with the three charges). In summary, this sword by itself can give us a total of 40% Bonus Elemental Damage (and that to R1).
PRIMORDIAL JADE CUTTER
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It is the weapon that provides the highest amount of Critical Chance in the entire game, at level 90 we can get 44.1% Critical Chance . It is true that because of this it has a lower Base Attack than other five-star swords but it is very worth it.
In addition, the Passive Ability of the Primordial Jade Cutter increases the Life of the character that has it equipped and also increases the Character’s Attack based on their Maximum Life, so with its own passive ability it solves the problem that it has of the attack (really , this sword is so good that almost any swordsman character can use it).
OATH FOR FREEDOM
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
To begin with, the Oath for Freedom gives us 198 Elemental Mastery points (it is one of the weapons with the highest secondary stat) at level 90 and also has a good Base Attack.
Based on its Passive Ability, it will increase the damage inflicted by our character by 10% (which is greatly appreciated) and we will also activate an effect called “great millennial concert” when we have two charges of insurrection (every time we cause an elemental reaction we will obtain a); Said effect increases the group’s damage by 20% and increases the damage of Normal, Charged and Down Attacks by 16% for 20 seconds .
It is one of the best swords in the game because it increases both the character’s damage and the reactions it causes due to the large amount of Elemental Mastery it provides and also greatly improves the Support potential of the character that we equip it with.
HEAVENLY SHARP BLADE
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It is an especially good weapon in Supports and Healers; The Celestial Sharp Blade gives us a good amount of Energy Recharge while having a good Base Attack so with this weapon we will not lose much damage and we will also have our ults more quickly.
Its passive also gives us a very small amount of Critical Chance (4%) and when using the Ultimate Ability of the character that has it equipped, we will gain 10% Movement and Attack Speed for 12 seconds.
AQUILA FAVONIA
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Aquila Favonia was always the sword with the highest Base Attack in the game until Reflection of Darkness came out and I match it in this section, the problem with this sword is that its secondary stat enhances Physical Damage and it is not something that we normally look for in swordsmen except for some cases like Keching built to Physical Damage.
His Passive Skill entry increases our Attack by 20% and also gives us a special effect when hit that will regenerate our Life with respect to 100% of our Attack and we will return 200% of our Attack to nearby monsters (due to healing and the large amount of Attack we receive, makes it a very good weapon for Jean ).
TIER A
Next we will see some swords that are quite good too, the vast majority of them are more affordable to get than the Tier S ones.
DARK CRAG LONGSWORD
- How To Get It: By exchanging Starshine at Paimon’s Bargains.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Dark Rock Long Sword is a very good Free to Play alternative to the Reflection of Darkness, it gives us the same things in terms of statistics but obviously lower than those of the other sword.
His Passive Ability will increase our Attack by 12% each time we defeat an enemy and this can accumulate up to 3 times, making it a very good weapon for any Main DPS but this effect will weaken us in confrontations with few or a single enemy.
BLACK SWORD
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A sword that gives us a pretty decent Critical Chance and medium Base Attack; what really interests us about her is her Passive Ability that gives us a 20% increase in damage from Basics and Charged Attacks .
The Black Sword gives us a lot in Main DPS such as Ayato , Ayaka or Keching (especially if we have some other refinement of said weapon).
SACRIFICIAL SWORD
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Sword of Sacrifice is a wonderful sword that if we have it in high refinements will allow us to use it twice in a row almost always and it is one of the weapons with the highest percentage of Energy Recharge in all of Genshin Impact.
It will be great for characters that have very expensive Ultimate Abilities, characters that do not recharge well, characters that can carry the Emblem of Destiny set and characters whose Elemental Ability is strong. The only downside to this sword is that its Base Attack is pretty low, but otherwise it’s excellent.
MOUNTAIN BREAKER
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Mountainbreaker is a sword that is fully versed in increasing the Attack of its wielder, has a high Base Attack and at the same time gives us a generous amount of Attack% as a secondary stat.
What’s more, its own passive will increase our Attack even more when hitting an enemy (4%) and it can receive five accumulations (20% maximum), but if we carry a shield we can double the increase of this buff; The pity is that despite the fact that the Mountainbreaker is a good sword, there is no swordsman character that gets any extra benefit from the Attack as it happens with Shenhe .
TIER B
Here we are already starting to lower the level a bit, either because they are useful for very few characters or directly because they do not have the potential of the ones above.
CINNABAR SPINDLE
- How To Get It : Event Reward (Version 2.3).
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It’s a great sword whose only drawback is that it’s completely focused on Albedo (you don’t know how lucky those of you who have Albedo are to be able to get the Cinnabar Spindle for free). On the one hand, it gives us a 69% Defense, which is ridiculous, and although his base Attack is low, it’s not a priority for him, so we don’t care.
In addition, the effect of his Passive Skill will cause the Elemental Skill to increase its damage by 80% of the Defense, although after hitting once the effect will fade and it can be reactivated in 1.5 seconds.
TWIN AMENOMA SWORD
- How To Get It : Forge.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It is one of the best swords that we can forge with the prototypes that touch us throughout the game; The Twin Amenoma Sword is very Attack focused (which is why it suits Jean very well), despite having a low Base Attack it makes up for with 55.1% Attack .
On the other hand, its passive ability means that every time we use the Elemental Ability, the character gains a Seed of Succession (up to 3 can be gained) and when rolling the Ultimate Ability they are consumed and for each Seed of Succession we have we will gain 6 Elemental Energy points (12 points in R5); In short, if we have it at its maximum refinement, it can reload us half ulti after throwing it.
SWORD OF FAVONIUS
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Interestingly, it has the exact same stats as the Sword of Sacrifice; but for me this sword is inferior due to the fact that the passive of the Sword of Favonius makes it possible for critical hits to generate elemental particles while the Sword of Sacrifice will allow us to roll the Elemental Skill twice and with it we will recharge a lot more.
The good thing is that it is one of the most basic swords and if you are looking for Energy Recharge it will be one of the weapons that you surely already have in your account (since it seems that there is no other sword in the weapon gachapon).
IRON THORN
- How To Get It : Forge.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Iron Thorn is a sword whose secondary stat provides a decent amount of Elemental Mastery and a balanced Base Attack, which is why it is Kazuha ‘s free to play option .
His Passive Ability increases the damage we do when dealing Elemental Damage by 6% for 6 seconds, this effect can stack 2 times and activate once every second; It’s not a big deal, but if you refine it several times, it can do decent damage.
FLASH IN THE DARK
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This sword stands out for its high Base Attack, at level 90 it reaches 620, which is even higher than some five-star weapons (which is why many people usually equip it to Bennett).
But this is because his Elemental Mastery secondary stat is rickety (an artifact can give us more without much difficulty) and the Flash in the Dark Passive Ability increases the character’s damage by 12% but we will lose the effect for 5 seconds if they hit us.
TIER C
We found several swords that were quite good at the time but were dethroned with the release of new ones.
POISONOUS DESIRE
- How To Get It : Event Reward (Version 1.2).
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
To be a four-star sword it is brutal, its Base Attack is medium but it gives us a balanced Energy Recharge and its passive ability increases the damage of our Elemental Ability by 32% and its Critical Chance by 12% .
Due to all this it is a good weapon for characters like Xingchiu or Albedo ; but unfortunately they all have options above Poisonous Wish and therefore receive a lower Tier.
SWORD OF DAWN
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐
It’s the only three-star weapon we’ve included on the list, but it’s so good for a three-star that it’s earned its niche.
Obviously, it has a low Base Attack due to its rarity, but it makes up for it by giving us 46.9% Critical Damage (it exceeds the Critical Damage that Dark Reflection gives us) and its passive ability gives us up to 28% Chance to Critical (R5) whenever we have 90% of Life or more.
To get the most out of it we would have to bring someone who always shields us like Zhongli or someone who heals permanently like Kokomi , but it’s definitely a great sword.
FLUTE
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It is another of the many swords out there with a medium Base Attack and a typical Attack % substat, nothing to write home about really.
His passive means that when hitting with Normal or Charged Attacks we get harmonics that will damage nearby enemies ; The thing is, this sword doesn’t have enough potential to put it on a Main DPS and Qiqi is one of the few characters that can take advantage of the Flute.
Lion’s Roar
- How to Get It: Gachapon.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The real problem with Lion’s Roar is that there isn’t any character that takes full advantage of it, it would be a very good light sword for Keching if the damage from it wasn’t so negligible.
But hey, this sword gives us a medium Base Attack that reinforces with an Attack % substat of 46.9%; but the interesting thing about this weapon is its passive, which is very similar to the one with the Dragon’s Bane, since it increases the damage that enemies receive if they are affected by Pyro or Electro .
TIER D
Fortunately, there are not many weapons in this tier, just a couple of regular swords, so you can avoid using them on your account without any problem.
GRUDGE PROTOTYPE
- How To Get It : Forge.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Grudge Prototype is that sword that we all use when we start our adventure in Genshin Impact, it has a high Base Attack but its Physical Damage Bonus substat and it is the drawback that it has since at the moment there are no characters that go with a sword and take advantage of it right.
Its passive is really not bad at all, when attacking with a Normal or Charged Attack it increases our Attack and Defense by 4% for 6 seconds and this effect can be accumulated up to four times.
ROYAL LONG SWORD
- How To Get It: By exchanging Starshine at Paimon’s Bargains.
- Rarity : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
You already know very well that we don’t like real weapons very much and surprise, another sword that has a medium Base Attack and substat Attack % (on top of that it has less than the Twin Sword Amenoma and the Lion’s Roar).
As usual, the Royal Long Sword’s passive increases Critical Chance as you land but will reset it on critical hit and bonuses will reset, same as usual.
