Genshin Impact reveals 4 new weapons: The Catch, Engulfing Lightning, Luxurious Sea-lord and Predator

Genshin Impact's 2.1 update is a few days away and miHoYo has just revealed four new weapons, adding to the anticipation of the players.

The four new weapons include two polearms, a claymore and a bow. The two polearms seem to be tailored for Baal with Energy Recharge substat, and players can get one of them for free. The new Predator bow is a PlayStation exclusive and highly favors the upcoming free 5-star Genshin character Aloy. But among them, the new claymore is what is gaining the attention of all players. It is named Luxurious Sea-Lord and is a literal adaptation of a fish as a weapon.

The Catch has been getting a lot of attention in Genshin Impact recently due to its overwhelming stats and free availability.

At refinement rank 5, its passive ability increases Burst damage by 32% and boosts Burst Crit Rate by 12%.

The Catch can be termed as the 4-star version of Engulfing Lightning as both of them have similar substat and passive ability favoring Elemental Burst damage.
