Summary
- A Genshin Impact leak hints at new weapons in version 4.7, enhancing character stats like ATK and CRIT damage.

- Unlock weapons through banners and Intertwined Fates in the game, with rarities determining drop rates.
A Genshin Impact leak has revealed several new weapons, which will allegedly be available to claim in version 4.7. Weapons in Genshin Impact are fundamental parts of character builds, improving the wearer's innate stats like ATK, HP, and CRIT damage. They are divided into categories and locked behind banners on which Travelers must use their Intertwined Fates. Like artifacts and other items in the game, weapons have a rarity, which determines their drop rate.
Genshin Impact splits weapons into five categories: bows, polearms, swords, claymores, and catalysts, which define the playstyle of the equipping character. For example, sword users usually perform rapid attacks, while polearm wielders launch wide-area attacks and maintain a distance between enemies. With their unique passive effects and stats, weapons play a crucial role in creating custom character loadouts.
Genshin Impact Leak Explains Character Borrowing Feature
A recent Genshin Impact leak explains how players will be able to borrow a character from a friend's account through the new Imaginarium Theater.
A recent leak from Mero has revealed three new weapons: Pouring Heartstrings, Absolution, and Cloudwearer, which will be available to claim in Genshin Impact's version 4.7. Pouring Heartstrings is a five-star bow that gives the "Blessing" effect, which increases the character's max HP by a percentage. Moreover, it boosts their Elemental Burst CRIT rate by %28. Among version 4.7 weapons are Absolution (five-star sword) and Cloudwearer (four-star bow), which increases CRIT damage and provides Elemental Mastery, respectively.
Genshin Impact Version 4.7 Weapons
- Cloudwearer (four-star bow)
- Pouring Heartstrings (five-star bow)
- Absolution (five-star sword)
It's being said that Cloudwearer will be obtainable through a limited-time event in version 4.7. This wooden bow will allegedly arrive in the game in the second phase of the update, along with the four-star bow user Sethos. As for other weapons, it's unknown in which phase they will be added to the rotation.
Over the past few weeks, leaks regarding version 4.7 have emerged online, with one, in particular, claiming that Genshin Impact would bring a new mode called Fantasy Realm Epic Poem. Completing the floors of this mode will reportedly reward players with hundreds of Primogems that can be used to purchase characters and weapons. According to rumors, players will have to unlock some characters, such as Beidou, Wanderer, Sayu, Chevreuse, Clorinde, and Arlecchino, to enter Fantasy Realm Epic Poem.
As confirmed by HoYoverse, Genshin Impact version 4.7 will introduce a trio of characters: Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos, each having their own elemental alignment. Sigewinne is a Hydro user aligned to Ousia, while Clorinde has an Electro Vision and uses a sword as her primary weapon. Sethos, on the other hand, is confirmed to be an Electro unit like Clorinde. He will likely make his introduction as a four-star character in the second part of 4.7.
