Skyward Harp Genshin Impact: Stats, Materials, Character Recommendations

Skyward Harp bow with 5-star rarity that can be obtained from the Banner Standard or Wanderlust Invocation.

Previously, Skyward Harp could also be obtained from several limited banners such as Memory of Dust, Redhorn Stonethreser, and Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds.

This bow is included in the weapon series Mondstadt Series together with Skywards Blade, Skyward Spine, Skyward Atlas, and Skyward Pride.

Skyward Harp Genshin Impact stats

ATK is the main stat given by Skyward Harp with the sub stat Crit Rate.

At weapon level 1, the ATK stat given is 48 ATK and after the maximum ascension level or level 90 it will reach 674 ATK.

The Stat Crit Rate given is also large for the size of the sub stats given by the weapon.

The Crit Rate given at level 1 is 4.8% to 22.1% at the maximum ascension level and weapon level.

Apart from these two stats, Skyward Harp will also provide an additional passive bonus named Echoing Ballad which can provide additional Crit DMG and Physical DMG.

Echoing Ballad can increase CRIT DMG by 20% at Weapon Refinement level 1 and a maximum of 40% Crit DMG at Refinement 5.

Every attack (all attacks that cause DMG to the enemy) will have a chance to cause an AoE with a small area that can give Physical DMG to the enemy in that AoE.

In Refinement 1, the AoE inflict opportunity can be triggered with a 60% chance and is triggered once every 4 seconds.

Whereas in Refinement 5, the chance of causing AoE increases to 100% and can be triggered every 2 seconds.

The author will give an example using Venti. When Venti uses Skyward Harp, Crit DMG will automatically increase.

When Venti's attack deals DMG, Venti will be able to trigger the bonus triggering the AoE Physical DMG every second depending on Refinement.

Then what about characters like Fischl, Amber, and Ganyu whose Elemental Skills turn into objects like Baron bunny or Oz? Of course the bonus can still be triggered.

From the results of the author's experiments, this passive bonus can be triggered by Oz or Baron Bunny as long as the character (Fischl or Amber) is in the area fighting enemies on the field.

Tartaglia or Childe can also trigger the Echoing Ballad bonus while Melee is active.

Material Ascension Skyward Harp

Similar to the Skyward Blade, the ascension material needed by the Skyward Harp is a material drop from Abyss Mage and the Boreal Wolf's weapon ascension material.

The difference between the two is that Skyward Harp will use drop materials from Hilichurl Shooter type is not from Slime. The complete materials for the Skyward Harp are as follows:

• Drops from Normal Enemy Hilichurl Shooter: Firm Arrowhead, Sharp Arrowhead, Weathered Arrowhead
• Weapon material ascension Boreal Wolf's set: Boreal Wolf's Milk Tooth, Boreal Wolf's Cracked Tooth, Boreal Wolf's Broken Fang, and Boreal Wolf's Nostalgia
• Drops from Elite Enemy Abyss Mage: Dead Ley Line Branch, Dead Ley Line Leaves, Ley Line Sprout.

Recommended Characters for Skyward Harp Genshin Impact Users

As a versatile weapon, we consider that no character using a bow in this Open World game is unsuitable for using the Skyward Harp.

This weapon is very flexible to be used by various characters. In fact, it can be an option to replace other limited bows such as Polar Star or Thundering Pulse.

However, VCGamers assesses that there are several character criteria to be called the best character for Skyward Harp users. These criteria are as follows:

• Main priority or build kit as DPS or Sub DPS;
• Characters are more often used on the field (has a long time in the battle arena);
• Requires a balanced Crit DMG and Crit Rate.

The criteria mentioned earlier can be used as a reference for character selection that will use the Skyward Harp in your character's party.

From the results of the author's assessment, Skyward Harp is suitable for use by Childe, Ganyu, Yoimiya, Fischl, Amber, Aloy, Tighnari, or Yelan that you build as DPS.

The character Lyney, who was released in update 4.0 Fontaine, can also choose the Skyward Harp option as a suitable weapon slot filler for the character.

Support builds or sub-DPS like Kujou Sara, Faruzan, Collei, or Tighnari are still very suitable for using Skyward Harp because the three characters have a long on-field time.

These are the recommendations for characters that are suitable for using the Skyward Harp. Top Up your Genesis Crystal at VCGamers Marketplace cheap, fast, and lots of special prices for you!
