Genshin Impact 2.0 update is all set to arrive on July 21, introducing new characters, regions and weapons.

Besides the new 5-star weapons that players can only obtain from the Epitome Invocation banner, there is also a new set of craftable 4-star weapons after the release of Inazuma in Genshin Impact.

There will be five new weapons within one set—a bow, sword, polearm, claymore, and catalyst. While all the weapons are in the same set, they had a variety of sub-stats.

Players can learn more about these weapons and their stats in this guide.

Genshin Impact Reveals 5 Craftable F2P Weapons Ahead of 2.0 Update:

For every craftable weapon in Genshin Impact, players need to use one Northlander Billet. Each weapon type has its own Northlander Billet type.

For example, a craftable 4-star polearm needs a Northlander Polearm Billet and a few other collectible materials.

It is important to note that the stats and passive skills for all the weapons below are based on Honey Impact. Information from beta is subject to change after the weapons are released in Genshin Impact version 2.0.

1) 4-Star Bow: Hamayumi

Base Attack Stat

Base ATK at Level 1: 41

Maximum ATK at Level 90: 454

Secondary Stat Type: Attack

Base Secondary Attack at Level 1: 12%

Maximum Secondary Attack at Level 90: 55.1%

Passive Ability: Full Draw (Refine Level 1)

The bow's passive skill increased Normal Attack DMG by 16% and Charged Attack DMG by 12. In addition, when the wielder's Energy reaches 100%, this effect is increased by 100%.

Suitable Characters for Hamayumi in Genshin Impact

Based on the bonuses provided by the passive skills, Hamayumi is ideal for a character that focuses on their Normal Attack and Charged Attack. This bow is an excellent F2P weapon for Yoimiya and Tartaglia.

2) 4-Star Sword: Amenoma Kageuchi

Base Attack Stat

Base ATK at Level 1: 41

Maximum ATK at Level 90: 454

Secondary Stat Type: Attack

Base Secondary Attack at Level 1: 12%

The wielder will gain 1 Succession Seed after casting an Elemental Skill. Once every 5 seconds, this effect may be activated. The Succession Seed has a 30-second duration.

There may be up to three Succession Seeds active at the same time. All Succession Seeds are consumed after the wielder performs an Elemental Burst, and the character regenerates 6 Energy for each seed spent after 2 seconds.

Suitable Characters for Amenoma Kageuchi in Genshin Impact

Combining both secondary stats and passive skills, Amenoma Kageuchi can provide bonus Attack stats and Energy Recharge. Based on this, the best characters to wield the sword are Bennett and Albedo as a Sub-DPS.

This phenomenon may happen once every ten seconds. Even if the character is not on the field, it may be activated.

Suitable Character for Kitain Cross Spear in Genshin Impact

The secondary stats of Kitain Cross Spear provide Elemental Mastery and are suitable for characters that can easily trigger Elemental Reaction. This polearm is an excellent match for Xiangling beside Dragon's Bane (4-star Polearm).

Kitain Cross Spear can increase Xiangling's Elemental Skill DMG and provide a decent amount of Energy for Xiangling to cast her Elemental Burst.

The passive ability of Katsuragi Slasher is the same as the polearm Kitain Cross Spear. It will increase the wielder's DMG by 6% for Elemental Skill. The wielder loses 3 Energy when Elemental Skill hits an enemy, but they will gain a total of 9 Energy for the following 6 seconds.

This effect may happen once every 10 seconds. Even when the character is not on the field, it can be activated.

Suitable Character for Katsuragikiri Nagamasa in Genshin Impact

Katsuragikiri Nagamasa goes well with Beidou if players do not have any other better option. The claymore's passive skills will boost Beidou's Elemental Skill. Beidou's Elemental Burst requires 80 Energy costs; the Energy Recharge from claymore can regenerate Beidou's Energy faster to cast her Burst.

Base Attack Stat

Base ATK at Level 1: 44

Maximum ATK at Level 90: 565

Secondary Stat Type: Energy Recharge

Base Energy Recharge at Level 1: 6.7%

Maximum Energy Recharge at Level 90: 30.6%

The passive skills for Hakushin Ring are unique. When a character wielding this weapon causes an Electro elemental reaction, nearby party members of an Elemental Type engaged in the elemental reaction gain a 10% Elemental DMG Bonus for that element for 6 seconds.

Elemental Bonuses obtained in this way cannot be combined.

Suitable Character for Hakushin Ring in Genshin Impact

The passive skills require the wielder to cause an Electro elemental reaction. Currently, in Genshin Impact, Lisa is the only one who can provide continuous Electro elemental reaction.

In addition, the passive skill provides a bonus only for the nearby party members, not the wielder themselves. This hints that the catalyst is advisable to be equipped by a supporting character.
