## Weapon

### Type

Item Types
Inventory Categories

**Weapons** in *Genshin Impact* are equipment that assists the player in fighting to deal more damage. It is the first tab in the Inventory.

Weapon level can be increased with Weapon EXP, which is generated by other weapons or Weapon Enhancement Materials.

## Quality

All weapons have a quality ranging from 1-star to 5-stars. Weapons with higher quality/stars have higher scaling on their stats than weapons of lesser quality but are more difficult to obtain, and also require more Weapon EXP to level up.

* Example: Even if Debate Club (3\* Claymore) and Wolf's Gravestone (5\* Claymore) are both Lv.20, the Debate Club will have only 87 Base ATK and an additional 9.8% Base ATK as a 2nd stat, while the Wolf's Gravestone will have 160 Base ATK and an additional 15.1% Base ATK as a 2nd stat.

## Progression

### Leveling

Main article: Weapon EXP
Like Characters, weapons can gain experience and increase their level by consuming other weapons or Weapon Enhancement Materials.

### Ascensions

Like Characters, weapons can be ascended to their next Phase once they reach their current max level up to 6 times (Lv.90). Weapon ascension requires Weapon Ascension Materials.

A weapon's appearance will change permanently upon reaching 2nd Ascension.

## Stats

### Secondary Stat

Weapons that have a quality of 3-stars or higher have a secondary stat that provides the wielder with a bonus that scales with the weapon's level, just like its Base ATK. One of the following secondary stats can be given, depending on the weapon:

* ATK Weapons
* DEF Weapons
* HP Weapons
* CRIT DMG Weapons
* CRIT Rate Weapons
* Elemental Mastery Weapons
* Energy Recharge Weapons
* Physical DMG Bonus Weapons

### Base Attack Scaling

Main article: Weapons/Base Attack Scaling
### Secondary Stat Scaling

Main article: Weapons/Secondary Stat Scaling
## Passive

Weapons that have a quality of 3-stars or higher have a passive along with their secondary stat. These passives can range from something simple - buffs like Raven Bow's "Bane of Flame and Water" passive that gives an increase in damage dealt to enemies affected by Hydro or Pyro - to something more complex like The Widsith's "Debut" passive which provides one of 3 random buffs when you switch to the character that has it equipped.

### Refining

Weapons' passive effect can be increased by refining. It will be increased with every rank, up to a maximum of rank 5. Every weapon that has a passive effect can be refined by consuming an identical weapon.

If you have two copies of a refinement rank 2 weapon and refine them together, you will end up with a refinement rank 4 weapon. This holds true for all refinement ranks. However, you cannot exceed refinement rank 5 by doing this. Please note that your enhancement materials will **not** be refunded by doing this, if any were used.

Refining Event-Only Weapons (as well as

Buying all available 4 refinement materials from the shop allows the player to refine their Dodoco Tales to refinement 5.)
