Genshin Impact's newest weapon banner will feature the Mitternachts Waltz, a unique 4-star bow that's styled after Fischl. This weapon has an interesting passive ability that makes it useful for certain characters, though it's held back somewhat by its substat.

Taking advantage of this bow may be challenging for most players, but some may want to give it a try. Choosing the right character to utilize it is important, and players can get a list of its best wielders here, along with a description of the weapon's stats and passive.


Genshin Impact: Mitternachts Waltz explained

The Mitternachts Waltz is a 4-star bow that can only be acquired from Genshin Impact's featured weapon banner. This bow looks perfect alongside Mondstadt's resident seer into the darkness, Fischl. It seems like this bow was created for Fischl's main DPS role, as it provides some interesting passive bonuses while also boosting Physical DMG.

Unfortunately, there aren't many characters in the game right now who can properly utilize this bow's full potential, but there may be a physical focused archer down the line.

Here are the stats:

At level 90, this weapon will provide 510 Base Attack, with a 51.7% Physical DMG bonus. These are some decent stats, and a surprisingly high amount of Physical DMG.

The passive of this weapon really does shine, with granting a 20% boost to Elemental Skill DMG whenever enemies are struck with Normal Attacks, and a 20% boost to Normal Attack DMG whenever enemies are hit with an Elemental Skill.

This sounds amazing, and it is, but it's hard to maintain these bonuses without a quick-hitting Elemental Skill.


Who is this bow good for

This bow is best suited for Physical DPS Fischl, as she is one of the only characters in the game who can properly take advantage of all of its benefits. Physical DPS Fischl was popular early on in Genshin Impact as players took advantage of her strong Normal Attack damage and synergy with Oz.

However, as things progressed, Fischl became valued more for her Electro damage, and the build fell out of favor. Still, it can be a powerful one if built correctly.

Not many other Genshin Impact characters can take advantage of this weapon's Physical DMG Bonus, but players can try to use it on units like Childe, as he can deal a decent amount of damage with his Normal Attacks. Unfortunately for fans of this weapon, a designated user has still not arrived, but one may be revealed in a later update.


The Mitternachts Waltz is definitely a unique-looking weapon, and fans can try their hand at summoning it once the new weapon banner releases.
