Polearms in Genshin Impact is a weapon category. Polearms are usually held with either one or two hands, the polearm is a great weapon of choice for fighters who want to inflict damage and poke their enemies from mid-range while maintaining a safe distance from enemy attacks. Not all playable characters can equip the polearm, but instead, only certain characters specialize in using the weapon in battle. Polearms can be obtained as loot, acquired as a reward for completing Quests and Events, given by certain characters or NPCs, purchased from Merchants, and crafted. This page covers a list of polearms.
How to use Polearms in Genshin Impact
Polearms are spear like weapons that have a longer reach than a regular melee sword. Chained attacks with a Polearm have varying outputs and movements can look like sweeping, swinging, slashing, uppercut slashing, stabbing and lunging. They are very quick and switft movents and deal moderate damage.
Charged attacks also vary and have the potential to send characters lunging forward, deal a large powerful slash or summon spears in a directional line. To add on to their attack types, they also have the ability to infuse elemental damage, which will also vary their attacks sequences when they are dealt. Use the regular attack button to attack, quick press to chain and hold to deal a charged attack.
