Genshin Impact's Fontaine update has brought in six new craftable weapons in the Forge. All these gear pieces are free to acquire from Estelle, who sells the blueprint for each weapon piece. Before crafting them, it is recommended for players to keep the weapon billets and a few Condessence Crystals in hand.

The following list contains all the characters suitable for each weapon piece from Fontaine's Forge. It is important for players looking to keep a F2P account to take note of each weapon's perk alongside the characters they can go with.

Every Fontaine craftable weapon and the characters they are suited for in Genshin Impact

1) Finale of the Deep

The Finale of the Deep is one of five new craftable weapons that came with the Fontaine update. This 4-star Sword provides the ATK stat on both its main and sub stat, alongside an interesting refinement perk.

  • When using an Elemental Skill, ATK will be increased by 12% for 15s, and a Bond of Life worth 25% of Max HP will be granted. This effect can be triggered once every 10s. When the Bond of Life is cleared, a maximum of 150 ATK will be gained based on 2.4% of the total amount of the Life Bond cleared, lasting for 15 seconds.

Based on the stats mentioned above, characters such as Keqing, Al Haitham, Ayaka, and Bennett will benefit from equipping this weapon.

Aside from Bennett, the rest will gain a damage boost after casting their respective elemental skill. Players are recommended to invest a small amount of HP on Bennett, alongside unlocking the C1.


2) Tidal Shadow

The Tidal Shadow is a craftable Claymore from Fontaine, which rolls the ATK stat in both sections. The following is its refinement perk:

  • After the wilder is healed, ATK will be increased by 24% for 8s. This can be triggered even when the character is not on the field.

Characters recommended with this weapon include Dehya, Noelle, and Sayu. All three characters from the list above can self-heal, making them the best choices to deal increased damage using the Sword. Players can look towards Chongyun as well for a main DPS/Burst DPS option.


3) Rightful Reward

Rightful Reward is a 4-star Polearm, available within the Forge of Genshin Impact and Estelle's shop in Fontaine. It has ATK as its main stat, with HP being the sub-stat. Rightful Reward's refinement perk is as follows:

  • When the wielder is healed, restore 8 Energy. This effect can be triggered once every 10 seconds and can occur even when the character is not on the field.

Characters such as Thoma, Yaoyao, Candace, and Mika can make great use of the Rightful Reward Polearm. Both Yaoyao and Candace's main buffs scale off their HP stat, with Mika's healing capability from burst requiring his maximum HP to be high.

Thoma, however, is cut from a different cloth, as his shields and ability uptime can improve from this same weapon.


4) Flowing Purity

The 4-star Catalyst of the bunch, Flowing Purity, grants a refinement perk similar to Finale of the Deep Sword, with a small twist. It has the ATK stat in both sections, with the following perk:

  • When using an Elemental Skill, all Elemental DMG Bonus will be increased by 8% for 15s, and a Bond of Life worth 24% of Max HP will be granted. This effect can be triggered once every 10s. When the Bond of Life is cleared, every 1,000 HP cleared in the process will provide a 2% All Elemental DMG Bonus, up to a maximum of 12%. This effect lasts 15 seconds.

Characters that can bring out the full potential of the weapon include Wanderer, Klee, Yanfei, and Heizou.

Catalyst-wielding DPS characters often require a combo to deal an increased burst of damage on enemies. Activating elemental skills before attacking enemies is necessary for the characters above, hence making this weapon a great F2P option for all of them.


5) Song of Stillness

The list of craftable weapons will close out with the 4-star Bow, called Song of Stillness. Main and sub-stat both include ATK alongside the following perk:

  • After the wielder is healed, they will deal 16% more DMG for 8 seconds. This can be triggered even when the character is not on the field.

Fischl, Lyney, Tartaglia, and Tighnari can benefit from the weapon's ATK stat and the refinement perk.
