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.

I regret pulling on that wolf's gravestone banner cause i got 2 staff of homa instead… when i don't even use polearm char 🙁
I got diluc on start of my acct first few wishs then did 1 pull for wep banner and got gravestone on 1st pull
I've never used the weapon banner, I'm too cheap lol
5* weapon basicly for whale who want to speed run % contents, with good artifact, 3* weapon still have enough power to clear all the game content
I never got 5* weapons on standard banner always character
Every time I wish on weapon banner I get xinyan 🙄
I think all my luck went to getting a 5 star weapon for my main dps in the standard banner but I just got them a BP weapon so uh
I only have one 5 star, the skyward claymore, and I got that on the standard banner
Pulling at the weapon banner of staff of homa and wolf gravestone. Wishing I can get wolf gravestone because I dont have hu tao but the God of RNG give me luck and pulled staff of homa. So I got myself a low budget hu tao, HU LING
I have Amo's bow from the free wishes on the permanent banner, but have no Fischl, nor any of the amazing 5* bow users. So I'm using it on my uninvested Amber that I keep on my team for the 25% extra damage.
A 5* Character with a 4* weapon is a 4* character.
5 star weapons to me are end game and not worth thinking about. Plus wothout difficulty why would i evin play the game
Last time i wished on weapon banner was for staff of homa for xiao but got Wolf's gravestone but ig i got lucky and got primodial spear on standard banner but I'm still a bit salty about it coz getting amos would have been better than getting primodial coz xiao can even do good dmg with blackliff but ganyu's best performance is out with amos
i spent on weapon banner when the weapon have op stat such as staff of homa
Back when the primorial jade cutter banner was up, I literally did 3 wishes and got it. After that I did maybe 20 more wishes over time but I stopped. For me Charackters are just way more exiting than a 5 star weapon that I most likely won't get anyways. And after we all saw the Tectone Staff of Homa summon Videos, we know that weapon banners are the worst.
The brutal truth is that I don't have any 5 * weap
Got Wolf's Gravestone from the Weapon banner in 1.3. Between the Claymore and the Staff of Homa, I was actually wishing that it would be WGS that I'm getting instead.
Didn't wish on the Weapon banner since..
The only 5 star weapons I go for are the Skward ones.
I spent 40 fates on homa banner and got nothing no 5 star only 2 sacrifice bows
I've been trying to get a gravestone for 5 months. I summoned on the homa banner and got homa and an aquila favonia. The only four 5* weapons I want are WGS, jade spear, amos', and skyward harp, and I am so unlucky that I literally own every single 5* weapon off of the main banner except for those 4.
I have only summon on the weapon banner once, and it was for the Staff of Homeless, and I had to pseudo whale on it to get just 1 staff since I got Gravestone > Skyward Blade > Gravestone > Gravestone > Homma.
Never again.
Once you have 8 solid characters for Abyss, a different 5 star character wont increase your power since it's just a swap. A 5 star weapon is a MAJOR upgrade in damage that will more easily allow getting max stars on Abyss. Min/maxing includes going all in on your best , not spending resources on characters on the sideline or lateral "upgrades". Swapping Diluc with Hu Tao as main DPS is not as strong as giving Diluc a 5 star weapon.
Now that I have most of the 5 stars and teams I want most, I'll be investing in next weapon banner that offers two strong options (like the Staff of Homa/Wolf's Gravestone banner again). Big issue is that there are a LOT of misses for the 5 star weapons, so you have to be much more patient.
tried to get the jade spear and homa… yall already know i got the other option both times -_- never again! lol
Got 3 5 star weapon so far Homa, Skyward Pride and Skyward Atlas. Started playing on Ganyu's Banner. 2 5 star Character Xiao and Hutao AR 51. Abyss 12.3 32 stars.
"after a half a year has passed since genshin launched"
Wait it's been already half a year?
The Weapon Banner is pure Whale Bait, plain and simple. Not only does it cost "Premium" Fates, which is a stupid idea in the first place, but the fact that the "pity" system in place only nets you a 5* weapon, and only a 75% chance of it being either of the featured weapons, means that it's a one in three chance of it being a weapon that you can get in the permanent banner.
They want to make it more attractive? Fix that pity system, make it so it uses the "Free" Fates, SPLIT THE DAMNED THING OR DON'T FEATURE TWO GODDAMNED WEAPONS, and make it so a 5* weapon is actually an attractive prospect. I got a Hu Tao with a 3* White Tassle and I really don't need much more, same with Albedo and the Festering Desire or Ganyu with the Viridescent Hunt. Sure, a 5* weapon makes numbers go up…but is it really needed at this point?
And they can't just make the enemies stronger at this point, because then they'll just become damage sponges, and that is just boring.
Not gonna lie, they've backed themselves into a corner. There's really no point in getting a Character to lvl 90 other than the fact you want to do so, I know I will, and adding time limits to things just drives people away, there's a reason the Abyss is not that attractive once you've got the first 8 floors with all 9 stars and it's because the next 4 floors just feel like a chore you do for 600 primos and some Mora and shitty artifacts.
There needs to be something to do that's not just another time trial or "make your numbers big or go home" thing.
I tried for a lion's roar in homa banner and ended up with a xinyan. Since I'm f2p I couldn't afford more than that and I had to quit
5-star weapons are vanity items.
i no longer care for weapon banners after only wishing on the staff of homeless 5 times because that was when I checked the details to see how it could pan out. In addition to tectone spending 2k just to get one staff of homa.
I know other whales who spend much less but even then id rather have a C6 of a bunch of characters than get like 4-5 five star weapons
I rolled the Homa/GS banner because I was happy with my team comp and wanted GS to finally powerspike my Diluc; my Xiao had skyward spine equipped and I though "ok, I could use either GS for Diluc or Homa for Xiao to make him disgustingly broken" and boom, got the shitty skyward sword which nobody on my team comp can really use to its full extent. Since then, I've decided to never commit on any other weapon banner ever
You know What's more *brutal*? Getting C1 five stars because I got three of these😩
when i want WGS but i got SoH
😔
I'm at 69 pity weapon banner, waiting for a cool claymore 🙂
only wish on standard and hope god of gacha bestow me with something i need
