Best characters for Ibis Piercer in Genshin Impact

The new 4-star Ibis Piercer is a decent weapon that provides a good amount of ATK from its main and secondary stats, but its passive effect currently makes it usable only on two characters. The new Bow's passive increases the wielder's Elemental Mastery by 80 at refinement rank five, which is a pretty decent buff, but it can only be triggered after the unit's Charged Attack hits an enemy.

The best character of Ibis Piercer would be Tighnari since he mostly relies on his Charged Attack and Elemental Burst, and he also gets extra bonus damage depending on his Elemental Mastery. Thus, the weapon's passive will be very useful to him. Melt Ganyu is also a good option since she could use the extra EM bonus.

Ibis Piercer is undoubtedly a good weapon because of its stats and bonus effects. However, it can only be used by very few characters in Genshin Impact due to the conditions to trigger the passive. On top of that, several other easily accessible weapons can outperform Ibis Piercer, such as Prototype Crescent and Hamayumi Bow, which are also Tighnari and Ganyu's best F2P options.

Therefore, Ibis Piercer is a good weapon and can be a viable option, but it can lack as a weapon when compared to other options that are also easily obtainable.
