Genshin Impact 3.0 comes with two new bow users in tow. Both Tighnari and Collei debut as the first two Dendro characters, with Tighnari being the first 5-star Dendro while Collei being the first 4-star entity. Considering that players want to try the new Dendro Elemental Reaction in Genshin Impact, it is no surprise that Collei is created as a support. Meanwhile, Tighnari’s role is more focused on dealing damage.
If players want to know which weapons are the best for Collei in Genshin Impactthis list summarizes some of the best bows to equip with her.
9 Favonius war bow
-
Primary Stats:
454 base ATK -
Secondary Stats:
61.3% energy charge -
R5 effect:
CRIT hits have a 100% chance to spawn a small amount of Elemental Particles that regenerate 6 Energy to the character. Can only occur once every 6s.
While Favonius Warbow isn’t Collei’s best weapon when it comes to damage dealing, it’s a great option if players want to play it as a dedicated support. With Favonius Warbow, Collei is not only used as a dendro enabler, but also as a Genshin Impact Battery.
8th sacrificial bow
-
primary stat
: 565 ATK -
secondary status
: 30.6% energy charge -
R5 effect
: After the user damages an opponent with an elemental skill, that skill has an 80% chance to end its own cooldown. This can only happen once every 16 seconds.
Performance of Sacrificial Arch for Genshin Impact Collei relies heavily on the passive’s proc rate. The more Collei benefits from the cooldown reset, the better this weapon will perform. Players should use this weapon when their Sacrifice Bow is fully refined, but not when it’s at R1.
7 Vanishing twilight
-
Primary Stats:
565 base ATK -
Secondary Stats:
30.6% energy charge -
R5 effect:
Has 3 conditions Evengleam, Afterglow and Dawnblaze which increase DMG dealt by 12%/20%/28%. When an attack hits an opponent, this weapon transitions to the next state. This weapon can change status every 7s. The character who equips this weapon can trigger the state change while not on the field.
Fading Twilight is an event-exclusive arc from version 2.7. The passive is quite cumbersome, with the wearer’s damage pacing up and down continuously, but overall it’s a decent bow. For Collei, this weapon only exists to help her deal extra damage.
6 Windflower Ode
-
primary stat
: 510 Attack -
secondary status
: 165 Elemental Mastery -
R5 effect
: Increases Attack by 32% for 6 seconds after using an elemental skill.
Similar to Fading Twilight, Windflower Ode is an event-exclusive weapon, but it goes way back Genshin Impact 1.4, so it’s probably less common than Fading Twilight. When players play Collei on a Quicken team, Windflower Ode can perform better than the 2.7 Free Arch. This is thanks to the Elemental Mastery secondary stat, which increases the flat DMG bonus granted by Spread Elemental Reaction Genshin Impact.
5 The threadless
-
primary stat
: 510 Attack -
secondary status
: 165 Elemental Mastery -
R5 effect
: Increases Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst Damage by 48%.
The Stringless is similar to Windflower Ode for its 165 Elemental Mastery secondary stat, but it has a better passive than the 1.4 bow. At maximum refinement, Collei’s skill and burst damage kick in Genshin Impact is improved by a whopping 48%. Considering that the Forest Ranger Trainee relies heavily on her abilities to deal damage, this practically means that she enjoys a 48% DMG bonus to all of her attacks.
4 Skyward Harp
-
Primary Stats:
674 base ATK -
Secondary Stats:
22.1% CRIT rate -
Effect:
Increases CRIT DMG by 20%. Hits have a 60% chance to inflict a Small AoE Attack dealing 125% Physical ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 4s.
Skyward Harp is just a stats staff for Genshin Impact Colleagues. Since many of their kits are affected by ATK, the weapon’s high base ATK comes in handy for them. Passive input from Skyward Harp Genshin Impact Won’t trigger if the bearer is off the field, but Collei should occasionally trigger when she’s on the field.
3 North Star
-
Primary Stats:
608 base ATK -
Secondary Stats:
33.1% CRIT rate -
Effect:
Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG increased by 12%. After a basic attack, charged attack, elemental skill, or elemental burst hits an enemy, gain 1 stack of Ashen Nightstar for 12 seconds. When there are 1/2/3/4 stacks of Ashen Nightstar, ATK is increased by 10/20/30/48%. The stack of Ashen Nightstar generated by the normal attack, charged attack, elemental skill, or elemental blast is counted independently from the others.
Polar Star is one of the best bows for Collei in Genshin Impact. It improves Elemental Skill and Burst DMG and provides additional ATK stats through its Passive. Collei can only effectively win two or three Ashen Nightstar stacks, but even two stacks are enough to place Polar Star high in the leaderboard.
2 elegy for the end
-
Primary Stats:
608 base ATK -
Secondary Stats:
55.1% energy charge -
Effect:
+60 Elemental Mastery. Elemental skill or burst hits grant a stack every 0.2 seconds. After gaining four stacks, the player can remove them to grant +100 Elemental Mastery and +20% Attack Buff for 12 seconds. After this buff activates, stacks cannot be obtained until 20 seconds have passed.
Since Collei is best used as a supporting character in Genshin Impact, Elegy for the End is the best option for her in this role. She can easily trigger the weapon’s passive when her Elemental Burst is active, giving the entire team a stat boost, including herself. The bow’s Energy Charge substat is also handy, as it allows players to focus on other stats when choosing their artifacts.
1 Aqua Simulacra
-
Primary Stats:
542 base ATK -
Secondary Stats:
88.2% CRIT DMG -
Effect:
HP is increased by 16%. When there are nearby enemies, the DMG dealt by the wielder of this weapon is increased by 20%. This applies regardless of whether the character is on the field or not.
When it comes to the bow that gives Collei the most DMG boost, Aqua Simulacra is easily the one. This “Staff of Homa of Bows” in Genshin Impact offers a massive Crit DMG stat and a universal DMG bonus with virtually no condition. Although there is the best DPS for Collei, it will not affect the team’s performance like Elegy for the End would.
Genshin Impact is now available on mobile, PC, PS4 and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
