Hunter’s Bow is a bow that is given as default to new characters who wield one. This weapon was part of the game’s launch and is given to all bow wielding characters as their first weapon. According to the lore, this weapon is used by hunters for hunting down animals. The sounds made by this bow are the only music to the hunter’s ears; the twang of the bowstring and the whooshing of the arrows.

How to get Hunter’s Bow in Genshin Impact?
Unlike most other weapons, the weapons of this series can not be obtained through wishing on any banner. Instead, you can obtain them by opening Common/Exquisite chests or by checking the right Inspect slots. Alternatively, you can also obtain it by summoning a new 4 Star or 5 Star bow user and take it from them as this will be their default weapon. You can also buy it from Schulz, Wagner’s apprentice who can be seen hanging around in his shop for 300 mora.

Story
Legend has it that Mondstadt once played host to one who made music on bowstrings—
Or perhaps it might be more fitting to say that this wandering musician used an instrument's strings to fire arrows.
But this is naught but an old folk legend.

Final Thoughts
Hunter’s Bow is the only 1 Star polearm available in the game. This does not make it special in any way, but rather serves the purpose of showing how much a weapon affects the gameplay of a character. This weapon is incredibly ineffective as it does not have any passives, secondary stats, and can’t even be levelled up beyond Level 70. While it does cost much less resources to level up, it is still a waste of resources and is not to be leveled up if you care about giving your characters better weapons.
