Here is a list of the Best Bows and characters in Genshin Impact that you should use them with. The best combos are needed for the best damage!
Genshin Impact may appear to be a simple game at first glance, but creating a character is far more difficult than it appears. There are multiple artifact sets to choose from, as well as various item quality and a large number of weapon types. What worked for Venti may or may not work for Gorou. In the case of bow users, both regular and elemental damage must be taken into account. Although quick shots are quick, they lack any elemental effects.
Charge shots are powerful elemental strikes that require a long time to execute. Furthermore, both five-star bow users have burst shots that differ from the rest of the four-star characters. The best bows and their primary uses are listed here to make playing a little easier.
