The Mutual Security Enhancing Simulation event has introduced a new 4-star weapon called the Cloudforge Bow in Genshin Impact. Players already want to know the best characters for the Cloudforge Bow and how it stacks up against other bows like the Scion of the Blazing Sun and the Blackcliff Warbow. After all, archers can often make a difference in action RPGs.
The Cloudforge Bow in Genshin Impact is a versatile weapon. Whether you’re looking to boost your Elemental Mastery or enhance specific abilities, the Cloudforge Bow offers solid performance for various characters in the game. Equip your best archers with the Cloudforge Bow to maximize their potential and protect Teyvat effectively. Here are the best characters you should equip with the Cloudforge Bow in Genshin Impact:
Sethos is The Master of Cloudforge Bow in Genshin Impact
The Cloudforge Bow is Sethos’s featured weapon, making him the best character to wield it. Sethos benefits greatly from the bow because:
- Twilight Meditation State: In this state, all of Sethos’s attacks get a damage boost based on his Elemental Mastery (EM).
- The Sand King’s Boon Passive: This passive ability increases the damage of Shadowpiercing Shots by 700% of his EM value when active.
While the Cloudforge Bow is the best 4-star weapon for Sethos and significantly boosts his EM, it doesn’t quite match up to certain 5-star weapons.
Other Ideal Characters for Cloudforge Bow
Even though the Cloudforge Bow is best suited for Sethos, it can still be a good fit for other characters if you don’t have Sethos or already have a 5-star weapon for him. Here are some top picks:
Fischl
Fischl can use the Cloudforge Bow effectively even though it doesn’t boost Oz’s coordinated attacks, which are her main source of damage. The bow’s EM increase helps her deal more damage when triggering the Aggravate reaction. It’s especially beneficial for her when used as an enabler for Elemental Skills.
Tighnari
Tighnari, a 5-star bow user, can also benefit from the Cloudforge Bow. He can turn EM into non-reaction-based damage, making the bow’s total of 225 EM at level 90/R5 very useful. In Spread-focused teams, the Cloudforge Bow enhances Tighnari’s damage, making it an excellent free-to-play option for him.
