--------------------------

Where did you get your figures?
- Keqing is the official one, you can get it from many sites. expensive.
All the others are from ali express. They were around $40-$80 Canadian dollars including shipping, pretty reasonable.
- Nilou is amazing, highly recommended
Shenhe Nahida Zhongli childe are quite good
ayaka is solid
yoimiya is minimally acceptable
raiden is BAD do not get that one. Hu Tao is also very bad. They're not displayed becasue of how bad they are.

Losing to Aqua Simulacra and Key of Khaj-Nisut when pulling for Lyney and Nahida’s signature weapon was the best thing that happened to me, it’s useful

[Crazy--]

I am in fact, not happy with my characters

Something else to consider when going for weapons is how these crit stat sticks makes your artifacts easier. Since you’re getting so much crit from your weapon that brings up the value of stray ATK% (especially if the weapon has high base attack, which will give you more value from these rolls) ER%, EM, HP% (depending on the character). These stat rolls can become just as good as crit ones when you have such a heavy amount on your weapon.

I think "lost prayer" is not that niche, I mean, you can use it with Wriothesley, scaramouche, Neuvilette, etc. While the speed bonus is meme, the damage bonus, crit, and high base attack make it a good option for dps in the field.

My biggest regret was not going for the banner when aqua and homa were on the banner

[crimsonECHDNA]

Honestly I think the truth with 5 star weapons now is Hoyo really doesn't make true "universal" weapons anymore. The closest we've had to one lately was Lyney's Bow, The First Great Magic, and that released all the way back in 4.0 and it's only for Charge Attack characters.

Like I think the truth is Hoyo knows people pull way more for constellations than weapons so they hyperfocused on making signifanct buffs to the early cons of characters.

Please consider doing event/craftable weapons teir list🙏

[fredxu]

The weapon banner's epitomized path feels like it's never worth it 😭

"I can't think of an S tier claymore character..." Angry Navia noises in the background

[lolidemon]

Skyward atlas above lost prayer? Man i want wat jello is smoking

[bigcheese]

PJWS shouldn’t be below redhorn. PJWS is more universal. not many good claymore characters out there, let alone characters that can fully utilise redhorn. PJWS on the other hand is a universal stat stick and effect can be utilised easily

You run into this issue a couple times in the video, but it seems like we need a better way to destinguish between "an amazing upgrade but extremely restrictive" and "a decent upgrade but extremely versatile." You address this in the way you lay out your tiers, but I'd be curious to see if/how rankings would change between two parallel tier lists: one for "how good is it on its Intended User" and one for "how good is it on literally everybody EXCEPT its Intended User."

. . . . unless the lists end up being super similar, then there's less to talk about.

[xanaviii]

Key of Khajnisut is undervalued on Kirara. Makes her an insane buffer while also making her shield ridiculous.

[gamerockz]

Lost prayer should be at least in A- tier. It's a really good weapon with good stats and passive.

[usmanya]

ngl we really need more great support weapons in the game, Elegy is amazing and can arguably be the best bow in the game, Freedom sword is good but it just doesn't feel as good and it's facing stiffer competition with Xiphos and Fav, Key and Crane are niche, but good, since key helps with dendro based teams and has other people who can use it. while Crane even if it only works on xianyun, it buffs the party plunges and it gives energy to her. Calamity is eh, it is shenhe's best but most of the time she prefers an ER weapon since she is an energy hogger as well. Jadefall, i don't know if i wanna talk about it, like it's just bad. it's not the part where it only works baizhu that i'm pissed at. i'm just pissed at it because one half is just an expensive PTA and the other half only buffs his personal damage, like wtf?? like if the stuff was shared based on healing and if the substat was ER it would have been amazing.

Lost Prayer a few tiers lower than Floating Dreams, Skyward Atlas and Kagura is a take of all time. Even if just comparing to Skyward Atlas it is more versatile and brings more damage because of Bennett

[thewackykid]

how is lost prayers in C or D and lower than skyward atlas...? it is one of the better standard banner weapon and a good stat stick.. the movement speed passive is useless but the elemental dmg bonus is good for onfield dps char...

[marcuscooper]

This didn't start well for me, since I'm using R2 Amos on my Tighnari... I'm not sure standard banner 5*s should be included here, because you're never going to choose to pull for them.

[arthurabraham]

Lol, I literally pulled Furina yesterday and am ready to vertically invest. You timed me on this one!

[bjornnilsson]

I’m genuinely curious how Skyward Atlas is a decent stat stick and above Lost Prayers in the tier list. I have Atlas and it’s unbuilt despite being my only 5 star catalyst cause I cannot find a decent user for it. I’d much rather have Lost Prayers because at least it’s a top 3 contender for Wanderer. But if you know something I don’t please do share 😅
