Here is a list of the Best Polearms in Genshin Impact and the best characters for them. Use these combos to deal the most damage!
The variety of exploration in Genshin Impact is considerably greater, with 7 different Elements to experiment with and 5 different weapons to choose from. Every Genshin Impact character has its own unique weapon type. The Traveler, for example, uses a sword, while Ningguang wields a Catalyst, and Zhongli uses a polearm.
Xiangling was the lone polearm character when the game was first released. With the updates, however, the roster of polearm users and polearm weaponry grew. Here is a list of the Best Polearms in Genshin Impact.
