Starting with bow weapons, we have the brand new 5-star bow, The First Great Magic (Lyney's signature), Aqua Simulacra (Yelan's signature), and Polar Star (Childe's signature). While they are tailored-made for their respective owners/characters, these weapons are versatile to suit other DPS bow characters in Genshin Impact.

Although the weapon passives of these bows cannot be fully utilized, they can still perform as great stat sticks. Here is a list of all DPS characters who can take advantage of these weapons:

• Fischl
• Ganyu
• Kujou Sara
• Tighnari
• Venti
• Yoimiya

Lastly, the 5-star polearm Vortex Vanquisher was released as Zhongli's signature weapon, but there are many other better and cheaper options for players to use in Genshin Impact. Players should not exclusively aim for this weapon from the banners unless they are going for aesthetics or whaling on banners.

Overall, with so many tempting options, it's crucial to weigh the pros and cons based on your specific account and roster requirements.
