Solar Pearl in Genshin Impact, everything that players need to know

The world of Genshin Impact is full of weapons and mysteries, but not all weapons can be obtained easily.

In October, a month after its release, Genshin Impact became the highest-earning mobile game worldwide, surpassing the figures of Honor of Kings and even PUBG Mobile.

Most of the weapons in this game are elemental or driven by nature and weather forces. One such weapon is the solar pearl which deals high damage and has interesting lore behind it (like most other weapons in Genshin Impact).
