Polar Star in Genshin Impact: Stats and ascension materials

The Polar Star in Genshin Impact has a massive base ATK of 46 and a Crit Rate sub-stat. The weapon's passive ability, known as Daylight's Augury, primarily increases skill and burst DMG and also buffs ATK.

At level 90 and Refinement Rank 1, the Polar Star's Base ATK significantly increases to 608. Its Crit Rate also increases from 7.2% at Lv 1. to 33.1% at Lv. 90.
