5 best bows in Genshin Impact

Bows in Genshin Impact are only as good as the characters that use them, just like swords.

Of course, some bows are better than others, combining their base ATK with special buffs to make all the difference in the world in a character build. Just like Ganyu can make most bows look good, no bow looks great in Amber's hands.

Keep in mind, this list is in no particular order. These are only the best five bows in the game right now.
