If you are currently ranking your Gnostic Battle Pass in Genshin Impact, you might be wondering which weapon to choose when you reach Rank 30. You will have five different options to choose from, a Sword, Claymore, Catalyst, Polearm, and a bow. If you are wondering which one to choose and which is the best, you need to consider which characters you have.
If you have a Venti, the arc is a clear winner. Aimed shot will have a 50% chance to cause a Cyclone, knocking enemies into it and dealing 8 stacks of damage at 40% of your ATK. It would be great to configure his abilities and maximize your damage.
Serpentine Spine Claymore is also an attractive option, improving your damage while on the field, but also increasing the damage you take. It will really shine if you're good at dodging, as avoiding incoming damage means you won't lose any stack.
Finally, the Black Sword is another good option, increasing your damage and also giving you healing in a crisis. For our money, the best weapon overall is the bow, as it will work great on Venti or Fischl, the two main bow users that people probably have in their party.
The important thing is to consider the group you are leading and the weapons you have. Consider your builds carefully and choose the best weapon for you.
