The first candidate has to be Lyney since The First Great Magic is his signature weapon. Considering that most of his damage comes from his Charged Shots, the new Bow is a perfect fit for him. The new 5-star item has a high Base ATK and an insane CRIT DMG bonus, making it a good weapon option for most DPS.

Ganyu is one of the best DPS characters in Genshin Impact, and her primary source of damage is her charged shots. The First Great Magic is a perfect option for her since it can significantly increase her Charged Attack DMG and also buff her ATK.

In addition, the high Base ATK and CRIT DMG will also considerably boost Ganyu's overall damage, which could potentially outperform even Amos' Bow and Hunter's Path in certain situations.

Tighnari is an amazing Dendro Bow DPS. While he relies mainly on his Charged Attacks to deal damage, his playstyle differs slightly from the previous entries. But that will not change the fact that The First Great Magic can be an excellent option for him. The new weapon provides so many buffs it can be considered one of the best options for Tighnari in Genshin Impact.
