Genshin Impact: Official announcements reveal two new bow weapons, their stats, and more

Officials at Genshin Impact have uploaded an exclusive announcement that mentions two new bow weapons being added to the game. The announcement includes images of both bows and also reveals the stats and ascension materials of these weapons as well.

Fading Twilight is a new weapon and will be added as an event reward for players in the new "Perilous Trail" event. This bow offers a base ATK of 565 and 30.6% Energy Recharge as its secondary stats. Fading Twilight has a great passive with three different states, and when triggered, the passive will increase the damage dealt to enemies.

Patch 2.7 will also release Yelan's signature weapon, Aqua Simulacra, which will appear on the Epitome Invocation (weapon banner). The Aqua Simulacra will share the weapon banner with the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear and other 4-star weapons in Genshin Impact.

Aqua Simulacra is a very niche 5-star weapon because of its stats and passive. The 5-star bow offers a low-base ATK of 542 and 88.2% Crit DMG as the secondary stats. However, the passive of Aqua Simulacra will increase the HP% of the wielder by 16% and increases the damage dealt by the wielder by 20% when enemies are nearby.
