However, there are some 4-star weapons in Genshin Impact that are actually not very good. They have some redeeming qualities, like accessibility or a solid main stat, but for some of these weapons, the passive ability holds them back completely. Some 4-star weapons in Genshin Impact should only really be considered for use if the player doesn’t own anything better and should serve as placeholders until something stronger comes al
Some 4-star weapons in Genshin Impact are so strong that having a 5-star weapon instead is simply a bonus. For example, while the Engulfing Lightning is the Raiden Shogun’s best weapon, “The Catch” is such a good weapon that players should not feel the need to pull for the 5-star weapon unless they really want it. Other 4-star weapons, like The Widsith and the Battle Pass weapons in Genshin Impact , are also very strong and can really bring up a character’s stren
As players learn here throughout the Archon Quest “The Crane Returns On The Wind,” Shenhe was born to a family of exorcists, but her mother became sick and died not long after. Her father was stricken with grief and decided that to bring his wife back he had to sacrifice Shenhe to a monster that was lurking in a nearby cave. However, Shenhe (gaining her Cryo Vision) refused to simply die and did battle with the monster, matching its power until Cloud Retainer found her and took her into the mountains. From there, Shenhe trained as Cloud Retainer’s disciple, learning much about the Adepti and their arts, and has become a powerful force to reckon with. The official Genshin Impact YouTube channel has a beautiful music video that perfectly tells Shenhe’s story in greater detail, and offers a bittersweet and hopeful look into her future as she wishes to fit back into human society. Shenhe’s quest is one of the best that Genshin Impact has to offer, and weaves one of the game’s best character stor
The Bell is a rather infamous weapon in Genshin Impact . It is usually the center of jokes as the worst 4-star to pull in the game, and its reputation is not unwarranted. The Bell is a 4-star claymore with an HP% main stat and a pretty bland passive. Basically, when the equipping character takes damage, they gain a shield in Genshin Impact based off of their max HP and a small damage increase. While not useless, The Bell is absolutely a placeholder claymore. Currently, there are no claymore characters in Genshin Impact that even scale with HP, meaning that putting a claymore with HP% on any current claymore character is a complete waste of a stat. There are much better options, even for F2P players, since craftable weapons like the Prototype Archaic and Whiteblind ex
As Kuki Shinobu can fulfill either the Support or Sub-DPS role in a Genshin Impact team, her best Artifact builds and weapon choices revolve around her being off-field most of the time. Genshin Impact players can opt for builds focused on Shinobu triggering Electro reactions in the Sub-DPS role, or healing and buffing the rest of the party in the Support role. Shinobu’s versatility means players have options when it comes to good team compositions for Kuki Shinobu, depending on which of Genshin Impact ‘s playable characters they already
Unfortunately, there is still no news regarding Genshin Impact ‘s upcoming release on Nintendo Switch. Earlier this year, a rumor spread on social media that Genshin Impact ‘s Switch port was canceled , due to a caption on one of Genshin Impact ‘s YouTube videos that omitted the Nintendo Switch from the list of supported platforms. Some eagle-eyed viewers who spotted the mistake speculated that it confirmed that Genshin Impact was no longer coming to Switch. Shortly after, the video’s caption was updated to include Nintendo Switch as a supported platform, with subsequent videos including it

Despite the recent rumors that Genshin Impact ‘s Nintendo Switch port is canceled, HoYoverse continues to reassure players that the Switch version of the game is still coming. Regardless, the launch of Genshin Impact on GeForce NOW is good news for members of Nvidia’s cloud gaming platform. Though there have been few updates about Genshin Impact ‘s port to Nintendo Switch since it was first announced way back in January 2020, maybe the upcoming Nintendo Direct event or Genshin Impact ‘s version 2.8 livestream will bring the announcement Switch players have long been waiting
