Claymores, also referred to as “greatswords,” are one of five weapons currently available for use in\u00a0Genshin Impact<\/em><\/strong>. They’re much slower than most other weapons, but generally offer increased damage output in exchange for reduced mobility in Genshin Impact<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Normal Attacks with a claymore consist of wide sweeping moves for the most part,\u00a0while Charged Attacks tend to involve either the wielder spinning in a circle or widely slashing away, non-stop until their stamina is depleted. Once stamina is depleted, the Genshin Impact<\/em> character<\/a> will perform\u00a0a powerful finishing slash.<\/p>\n

Claymores also offer the added bonus of dealing extra damage to Geo-aligned entities. So, for example, players\u00a0who attack enemy shields will\u00a0deal bonus damage when using a claymore. At the moment, there are five characters in\u00a0Genshin Impact<\/em> who wield claymores, but this number is likely to grow as characters are added to the game. There are currently claymore users aligned with Pyro (Diluc), Electro (Razor, Beidou), Cryo (Chongyun), and Geo (Noelle) elements, so at the very least, players can expect swordspeople who use Hydro and Anemo in the works<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These five characters use claymores in slightly different ways, but for the most part, they’re ATK heavy fighters who take advantage of the occasional Elemental reactions. When looking at the current selection of\u00a0Genshin Impact <\/em>claymores<\/a>, players will want to focus on two main components: utility and practicality. Utility should be a focus, because players will want their weapon to serve its purpose.\u00a0Needless to say, an ideal weapon in\u00a0Genshin Impact<\/em>\u00a0would provide functionally beneficial stat boosts and\/or bonuses to its wielder. This is half the battle when choosing the right arms to bear.\u00a0The other half is practicality.<\/p>\n

Without a doubt, there are more than a handful of uber-powerful 5-star weapons lurking in the depths of\u00a0Genshin Impact<\/em>‘s loot-box depths<\/a>. That being said, is a 5-star weapon really all that valuable if it’s near impossible to obtain? Practicality should absolutely affect a player’s decision when ranking weapon choices, because at the end of the day, a weapon can only help a player if they’re actually able to obtain it.<\/p>\n

For example, a powerful weapon that insta-kills any enemy may be more powerful than any other weapon in the game, but if it’s only obtainable by paying $1,000 cash,\u00a0it probably isn’t as overall valuable as a slightly weaker weapon that can be\u00a0looted from common enemies.\u00a0Bearing that in mind, below are some of the best claymores that\u00a0Genshin Impact<\/em> currently has to offer.<\/p>\n

NOTE: All craftable claymores have been noted with an asterisk.<\/strong><\/p>\n
