Now that you know how the Battle Pass works, let’s get to reviewing the 5 currently available weapons.

Genshin Impact Best Battle Pass Weapons: The Viridescent Hunt 5/5

Weapon Attack	510 Attack
Weapon Substat	Crit Rate +27.6%
Weapon Description	Upon hit, Normal and Aimed Shot Attacks have a 50% chance to generate a Cyclone, which will continuously attract surrounding enemies, dealing 40% of ATK as DMG to these enemies every 0.5s for 4s. This effect can only occur once every 14s
Refinement Priority	Low

Considered by most to be the weakest weapon available from the battle pass; The Viridescent Hunt is still a pretty good weapon. Crit Rate is a valuable and rare stat to have on bows and can lead to amazing Crit Rate/DMG ratios. Its ability is good for handling small crowds of enemies as it will bunch them up together.

 It does, however, require the use of charged bow attacks which is only preferred by a select few characters. Moreover, these characters have better weapon options available as well. The weapon pairs well with the following characters:

• Childe/Tartaglia
• Yoimiya
• Ganyu
• Tighnari

The Viridescent Hunt is a nice choice if you are looking for a Crit Rate focused Bow for your Charged attack DPS archers. It will not suit your sub-DPS archers, however.

Genshin Impact Best Battle Pass Weapons: The Black Sword 4/5

Weapon Attack	510 Attack
Weapon Substat	Crit Rate +27.6%
Weapon Description	Increases DMG dealt by Normal and Charged Attacks by 20%. Additionally, regenerates 60% of ATK as HP when Normal and Charged Attacks score a CRIT Hit. This effect can occur once every 5s.
Refinement Priority	Medium

The Black Sword is one of the most versatile weapons in the game. It provides a powerful Crit Rate boost and buffs your Normal and Charged Attack damage. If that wasn’t good enough, then it also gives your character healing for every Critical attack every 5 seconds, which makes for some very useful sustain.

You can use this weapon on your main DPS, and it will help remove your reliance on a healer in your team. This will let you slot in another sub-DPS and focus on a more offensive playstyle. The weapon pairs well with the following characters:

• Ayato
• Ayaka
• Keqing
• Kaeya

While its damage is outclassed by 5-star Swords, The Black Sword is definitely a great weapon to get your hands on due to its damage and sustain.

Genshin Impact Best Battle Pass Weapons: Solar Pearl 3/5

Weapon Attack	510 Attack
Weapon Substat	Crit Rate +27.6%
Weapon Description	Normal Attack hits increase Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 20% for 6s. Likewise, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst hits increase Normal Attack DMG by 20% for 6s.
Refinement Priority	Medium

The Solar Pearl is a Catalyst with a rare Crit Rate substat, which is uncommon in this class of weapons. The weapon skill makes it suitable for main DPS characters who will have their normal attacks, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Bursts all buffed during your rotations. It can also be used on your sub-DPS characters, but that can be a bit more tricky to manage.

It is a flexible weapon that can be equipped to most Catalyst users. The weapon pairs well with the following characters:

• Yae Miko
• Wanderer
• Yanfei
• Mona
• Lisa

The only drawback is the fact that the 4-star Catalyst category has a lot of viable weapons that can provide superior performance. Regardless the Solar Pearl is an excellent weapon and should not be overlooked.

Genshin Impact Best Battle Pass Weapons: Deathmatch 2/5

Weapon Attack	454 Attack
Weapon Substat	Crit Rate +36.8%
Weapon Description	If there are at least 2 enemies nearby, ATK and DEF is increased by 16%. If there are less than 2 enemies nearby, ATK is increased by 24%.
Refinement Priority	Medium

This weapon has slightly different stats compared to the rest of the Battle Pass weapons. It trades in some Attack damage for a higher Crit Rate. Crit Rate is extremely valuable, so this works in its favor generally. The weapon provides a very simple attack buff depending on the number of enemies around you, making it useful in crowded combat scenarios.

Note that the weapon buff remains active even when the equipped character is off-field. This makes it a good choice both for main DPS and sub-DPS characters. The weapon pairs well with the following characters:

• Xiao
• Hu Tao
• Zhongli
• Raiden
• Cyno

The weapon is somewhat outclassed by a few 4-star weapons such as the Catch and other 5-star polearms, but it remains a very strong pick for most of your Polearm users.

Genshin Impact Best Battle Pass Weapons: Serpent Spine 1/5

Weapon Attack	510 Attack
Weapon Substat	Crit Rate +27.6%
Weapon Description	Every 4s a character is on the field, they will deal 6% more DMG and take 3% more DMG. This effect has a maximum of 5 stacks and will not be reset if the character leaves the field, but will be reduced by 1 stack when the character takes DMG.
Refinement Priority	High

Widely considered the best Battle Pass weapon; the Serpent Spine is a 4-star claymore with an exceptionally rare Crit Rate stat. Most Xlaymores lack this stat which lets the Serpent Spine fill a particularly useful niche, allowing it to compete with some of the best 5-star claymores in the game. It also has a powerful stacking damage buff that goes up to 30%.

Unless you have better Claymores lying around, you can pair this weapon with any main DPS or even sub-DPS character and watch their damage skyrocket. Selfish main DPS characters will benefit the most from its ability. The weapon pairs well with the following characters:

• Diluc
• Razor
• Araki Itto
• Beidou 
• Eula

The Serpent Spine is one of the best Claymores in the game, and while not obligatory, it definitely justifies investment into the Battle Pass.

Final Thoughts

The battle pass in Genshin can provide you with some uniquely powerful weapons on top of the already generous rewards at a low price tag.
