To cleanse by fire all that is impure, to allow the impurities to rise with the flames unto the all-accommodating high heavens. These rites would see fresh tinder lit during the rainy seasons, and wolf smoke would arise from those fires as prayers for blessings and the defeat of evil. These blazing rituals were especially commonplace during that ancient period of strife. For the dreams and delusions of the silent corpses of gods would produce evil miasmas, Snatching away the citizens who were no longer theirs, and those who never were theirs also. Then, a merciful doctor heard a whisper from within the flame as fierce as the red sunset, From within the crackling and snapping of withered grass. "Only an unbound flame can purify the filth of this world." "Lift up this scarlet firewood. With it, you shall repel every demon." So the doctor took up that devilishly red staff, igniting all that was impure. Those who have passed, unable to bear deep sadness, but who have since become shrouded by ill karma and calamity, They shall be reduced to ashen butterflies in this flame, and receive relief from their misfortunes and hurts. As for the doctor who lit those countless flames, legend has it that they, too, were reduced to smoke in the shape of a lovely butterfly. Though these rites have been forgotten over time and with the coming of peace, Those with fire in their hearts can still hear these whispered words from flickering flames when they find themselves faced with an imposing darkness: "Only an unbound flame can purify this world." |

I’m here just want to reminisce my first (and probably last) weapon banner I ever pulled. Arguably the best weapon banner so far. Homa, WGS, Widsith, and the Lithic series. I highly doubt they will rerun this banner again, like ever.
okay so i was wondering.
i recently just bought blackliff pole (r1) for hu tao but i also have r1 dragonsbane, which of them works better? (i made her as my main dps)
for raw dmg obviously u will want to do melt reaction, and dragonbane wont buff ur melt dmg cuz enemy is effected by cryo, not pyro. and also, crit dmg substat itself really good, and againt mobs that 12% (times 3) extra attack is spicy so u will want the blackliff for sure. just remember all that crit rate/dmg ratio rule while on it.
To people thinking that the crit dmg is absurdly high… It’s actually not. It has the same crit value as any other type 46 weapon will have. All type 46 weapons have either 33% crit rate or 66% crit dmg.
and 66% crit dmg is not higher than 33% crit rate; the value is actually the same. Either divide crit dmg by half, or double crit rate by two, to get your crit value. Just go look at other type 46 weapons.
That wasn’t supposed to be a reply. Just a standalone comment, but whatever.
Venti, it’s just feel nice collecting seven archon
The best weapon in game, for now
Wolfs gravestone still exists
Nah, Skyward Pride > WGS
If you are using Bennett, this is not your weapon. First of all, Bennett heals you. Second of all, Bennett gives a significant amount of attack, to the point where even if Bennett wasn’t healing you at all and you are magically below 50% HP, you could still be using something MUCH better than simply more atk.
To tell u the truth, hu tao + homa damage is better than dilus + wgs, i already test it lv90 hu tao talent lv6 vs lv90 diluc talent lv9, same artifact except for eon and logos
1m+ damage similar to diluc??
It’s already 2 million tho.
I’ve already cleared the abyss 9-12 with 36*. Should I roll for Hu Tao or save for Venti? I have 60 pity on the character right now, 50/50 chance.
Assuming you like both, Venti. Hu Tao is nothing special, neither about gameplay nor damage which are similar to Diluc, while Venti has still an unique mechanic.
Lmao imagine saying Hu Tao is nothing special when she is already considered as better than even ganyu by most of the playerbase…
No, only Tectone said that but yea I got your point and she’s always special in my heart, I don’t care about Meta, who cares about Venti when you can get Hu Tao
Considered better than ganyu by most of the playerbase? You clearly are very delusional. Hu Tao is only considered better when it comes to single target DPS and Staff of homa with less than 50% HP is a must for her to be able to do that. Ganyu can output Hu Tao’s numbers without stamina issues, elemental skill downtime issues or dependance on elemental burst. Also Ganyu has a lot more AoE capability than Hu Tao.
bru. just enjoy the game
Dude, who said that Hu Tao is better than Ganyu? Wtf lmao. Hu Tao definitely has a higher dps than Diluc and Klee, however she doesn’t match Ganyu. Whoever said that Hu Tao is better is delusional and just saying it because they’re simping for their waifu or they’re a youtuber just doing it to shock their audience and make a clickbait video like “HU TAO IS BROKEN! SHE CHANGES EVERYTHING AND POWERCREEPS EVERYONE!”.
that doesn’t make sense, you can’t claim that hu tao has higher dps than diluc and also claim she does less dmg than ganyu, diluc still has the highest damage in his teams for now.
Pi, he can. In terms of damage ceiling, Hu Tao does far more damage than Diluc in her two cycle DPS window until Xingqui desyncs with her cooldowns. The longer the fight, the more Diluc can catch up, but the comparison is not even close in Hu Tao’s first two cycles. Ganyu Melt also does less damage than Hu Tao in her first 2 windows but has way more sustained DPS which is always way higher than Dilucs given ceilings. None of this is including Diluc’s DS tech which is impractical to perform consistently, but would be a roughly 40% damage increase.
nice bias, buddy.
Similar to Diluc? I think you forgot to mention that Hu Tao is more versatile than Diluc and does significantly MORE dmg than Diluc. Hu Tao outperforms Diluc as a hyper carry, as dps, as a sub dps, and as a support
Hu Tao is NOT more versatile, not even REMOTELY. She has stamina issues, Xingqui cool-down desync issues, health issues, AOE issues, sustained DPS issues along with requiring animation cancel tech. You’re comparing THAT to Diluc who is so simple to play that you’re reaching his ceiling with a simple AA E AA E combo. Even though, you’re right, she is better in all those roles, there’s a HUGE, GIGANTIC ‘BUT’ attached to them. Calling Diluc, the easiest carry in the game, less versatile than Hu Tao is outright wrong. Btw, she does significantly more damage for about 2 E cool-down cycles and after that, they start to even out.
Hu Tao for waifu voice, Venti for faster domain clear and huge support in Co-op
=> Roll for Hu Tao
You sure you want some rando internet strangers to decide for you?
Anyways,
If you seek the meta (highest damage/shortest time possible to clear up the most difficult part of the game), Venti. He’s stupid broken with VV set, no constellation needed.
If not, Hu Tao. She’s great; has very high damage, but her play style is not for everyone.
It’s crazy how compatible this weapon is with Hu Tao’s kit. The powercreep is real, and it’s coming fast.
Is Staff of homa worth it on any characters other than Hu Tao or Zhongli? what about a future polearm character like Rosaria for example? Is it worth it?
I’m rolling for Widsith , Sacrificial bow ,WGS or any other 5* weapon but feeling a bit afraid of getting this lol
no other characters can utilize the >50% HP 1% atk/max hp passive other than Hu Tao it seems…
Aight I got Wolf’s grave stone, guess that’s one thing off my chest LMAO
The HP/ATK% bonus is nice for anybody, but obviously more for Hu Tao and Zhongli. However, on top of that, 66.2% Crit DMG at lvl90 makes this spear amazing for literally anybody, so I would definitely not be “afraid” of getting this. Some including myself consider this to be the best weapon in the game at the moment.
that’s good then ’cause I won’t try for Hu Tao instead I’ll continue with weapon banner for the widsith’s refinement, if i got staff of homa or anything else that’s a bonus xD
homa is definitely a busted weapon, im here with sub-optimal artis on my hu tao yet ive reached 50% crit rate and 200% crt damage after max ascensions, only way my diluc can match up to this is if i get a better crimson set for him and the WGS.
you’ll be just fine. homa will make her cracked due to its passive and how she works complimenting each other really well. especially since it has crate which is what she’ll lack. so if you can somehow get up to 60% crate without a helmet you can use a helmet for the bonus cdmg and that’ll make up for it. someone with homa will go for a crate helmet meaning it balances out with your jade spear. you;ll only be missing out on the health part of homa.
but the passive is useless when you fight the boss
Me with always below 10% HP Hu tao
well, this is why shield character needed for hu tao
Staff of Homa is really good and recommended for her since it’s tailor made for her
I’m going to go for the walnut but I’m wondering.
Since I already have Jade Spear, should I have to worry about rolling for this, or will Jade Spear do the trick just fine?
Jade Spear should work just as fine tbh, it’s just crit chance vs Crit dmg in the end because the +12% bonus dmg from jade spear is just as good as the quirky HP gated 1.8% max hp to atk bonus that plays around her kit.
Jade spear isnfine
blackcliff better
How? Higher base atk, higher bonus atk and higher crit dmg multiplier. Unless you get R5 blackcliff with one kill in to proc the passive, Homa is miles away better.
dumb question but is this weapon banner exclusive? like after the banner it cant be pulled from standard
this weapon is event exclusive and can only obtain through this banner
Nobody can answer this question other than MHY themselves.
Is this spear better than Blackcliff for Xiao? Got it just now, don’t have Zhongli and don’t have any plan pulling Hu Tao.
Of course it is
five stars are just superior
A Blackcliff on R5 is as strong as a Jade Spear on R1, so it depends on how refined you have it.
Yeah, it is. Basically just for the raw atk it is already a very strong weap.
I mean you’re comparing a 4 star to a 5 star, just in base stats is way better
I have an R1 Staff of Homa and an R2 Jade-Wing Spear.
For Hu Tao, which would be a better weapon?
If it’s the Staff of Homa, would it be worth it to try and get R2 (I can’t go past R2 with my budget) or is the stat upgrade negligible?
Thanks!
Staff of Homa 100%, while both are great on her Homa is built for her and perfectly fits her builds and scaling. R1 vs R2 on Homa however i would go for constellations on her instead of more refine on the weapon, but if you don’t want to do that honestly save your money. While the single refine rank is good its not worth the money unless your going for R5
No, don’t try to gamble for a weapon you already have. You might end up getting Wolf’s Gravestone instead and waste gems or money. Even worse, you might get something else and no Homa.
And yes, Homa is best for Hu Tao.
Usually every refinement for five star weapons, you would see a bump in attack. Whether it’s worth it, depends on you.
And yes, staff of homa is better for hu tao, it’s her weapon.
yep i heard staff of homa is very good for hutao
yes it will be better for you to try and pull for the staff again but it will be better if you actually save the interwined fates for Hu Tao to get better constellations
of course homa, the other polearns almost same damage for hutao
Homa is better, and I’d say a c1 or more Hutao is much better than an r2 Staff of homa.
Staff of Homa is THE WEAPON for Hu Tao. She is going to be broken with it. About getting it to R2, it depends on you but, if I were you, I would try it as it is now when Hu Tao launches, and then I would decide whether to refine it or not depending on the damage
“I can’t go past R2 with my budget.”
Then don’t. Weapon banner is not guaranteed. Ask yourself this question: “Will I be fine if I get a WGS 5 times in a row?”
Here are some facts:
Mattjestic Gaming spent 500 usd and got 5 WGS before getting 1 Homa.
Tectone spent over 1k and got like 10 WGS and 0 homa.
My advise: good luck!
is it worth it to get this weapon for my Xiao? (missed my chance to get Jade spear, I wanna cry )
My Xiao currently sits at 19k HP, 1977k ATK, 98.7% Crit rate and 192.1% Crit DMG
with r3 Deathmatch and has 62.2% Crit DMG Circlet with 15.6% Crit rate substat
I plan to switch DM to Homa AND equip my 31.1 Crit % circlet with 27.2% Crit dmg substat.
Theoretically my stats would be 77.4 Crit rate, 223.3 Crit dmg and a higher weapon DMG
from 454 to 608 total ATK somewhere around 2.2 – 2.4k
(my sands does not have crit % and my goblet doesn’t have crit DMG and both are gladiator parts so fk me right!?)
is it worth the switch?
( I lose the Constant dps from the virtually 100% crit rate but deal higher burst dmg from higher crit dmg and ATK instead)
No, it’s not worth it, even if you’re getting more damage with Homa, you’re spending Gems on a weapon banner that doesn’t guarantees you a Homa.
I think it was Mattjestic who got Wolf’s Gravestone four times before he got a Homa and spent like 500 dollars. You already spent money on Deathmatch 3 times, just focus on making it R5.
Definitely, I don’t know if you knew this but crit rate actually has diminishing returns past around 85% I believe? So that 98.7 crit rate you have with your death match, isnt actually 98.7%, its somewhat lower. So yes, definitely use staff of homa.
No, Crit Rate doesn’t have diminishing returns, nor does it have some sort of soft cap, it was just a rumor from the beta and there’s no evidence that there are soft caps.
I literally tested, I have 101% Crit Rate Klee and she did Critical hit 100 times out of 100 normal attacks. With “85% cap”, at least 1-15 of those hits would miss crit.
Stop spreading beta old misinformation.
No, there’s no 85% crit rate soft cap. Having 100% crit rate will always land a crit.
Youtubers debunked this months ago.
Your Xiao setup is extremely above average, so he should be fine with R3 DM for a while and it is better to wait until you get a Jade Spear which works much better with your godly artifacts.
One thing that I always hear if you’re confused about crit rate and crit damage is to multiply the two. After you just go with the highest number (after the multiplication I mean).
I think that if you want to really test it out, you can go to the Genshin Impact Calculator beforehand and put in your artifacts to check out your damage. There’s also an option to toggle enemy resistance, so you know approximately how much damage you deal to an enemy.
Hope this helps tho. Cause it is risky to pull on the weapon banner. Wish you the best of luck!
No, I don’t think you should. Consistency is always better for dps. Also, your current stats r perfect as it is.
The reality is Staff Homa beats all polearms types. I’ve tried it on every polearms users and it’s outrageous. Even i put that on xiao and it deals more dmg compared with wingspear.
This spear is broken. Those crit dmg is just that ridiculous. Jade spear feels like a chopstick compare to this spear.
Probably yeah, you typically don’t need to go above 60% cr on most characters, especially not polearm characters. going from 90 to 70 cr for 190 to 220 cd is worth is everytime imo, especially if you also get higher base attack.
Def Hutao signature weapons but Zhongli is the one who can maximize this polearm Refinement skill XD
I’ve just gotten this spear recently after 120 pulls. With my first test on zhongli, notice that spear is only lv 60, and burst hits 95k crits ( geo resonance only), compared with my previous weapon: lv 80 deathmatch, only hit about 70k with the shield on. So this weapon is literally outrageous guys
Is it good or bad for Hu tao??
It is literally made for Hu Tao. It just happens that Zhongli also makes very good use of it. Inform yourself.
They asked so that they could be informed.
The weapon’s special skill is literally made for her, the HP Bonus; while good also for Zhongli, the ATK bonus is what makes it Hu Tao’s signature spear, more ATK bonus when below 50% HP, when Hu Tao does more damage below 50% HP. It still doesn’t mean it’s bad on other characters, take Xiao for example; I tested him with R1 Lv90 Jade Spear and he only dealt 33k per crit plunge, changed it to R1 Lv90 Homa it skyrocket 42k per crit, the only thing that makes it so is because of the CDMG Substat, 66.2% CDMG is outrageous and it powercreeps all other weapons
Did u replace the crit dmg goblet or substat with crit rate? I think u got this number just because u sacrificed your crit rate
It’s litterally made for Hu Tao, whose attack increases based on a % of max HP with her “E”. She also has the highest HP in the game.
this is literally made for hu tao
this spear is literally hu tao’s spear
It’s signature weapon for Hu Tao, so yeah ofc its good for her
is it zhongli spear? 0_0
its hutao’s spear obviously. tailor made.
Im gonna use it on Zhongli full HP build (45K health)
Zhongli should not be on the field long enough to use or care about anything above 25k HP.
If you seriously somehow eat 10k hits all the time you have other issues.
What I understand is Zhongli’s attacks, elemental skills and elemental damage, all scale with HP now. Won’t this give him boost in both attack and HP (and thereby attack and skills as well)? Oh, and I don’t have the og Zhongli spear. I am close to pity in the weapon banner so I’m thinking if I should roll for PJWS or the Homa Staff (regardless of the other weapon, Jade Cutter and WGS since if I ever landed on any of them, I won’t mind) I’m just particular about which spear should I get for Zhongli.
This is BiS on support Zhongli, so idk what you are talking about.
Zhongli has that high of an hp for his shield. My Klee is severely squishy, she is unviable without a shield. My Zhongli’s shield has more hp than she does and keeps her alive. You can also keep the shield on 100% of the time eliminating the need for a healer. He can also survive a childe whale too and it’s satisfying to see him do 40k damage on his ult.
Hu Tao spear, zhongli has a geo spear that’s alrdy out
Are we going to pretend that the vortex vanquisher is any good on Zl? :^)
In fact ZL benefits from this spear equally if not more than Hutao purely because he can actually maintain sub 50% hp more safely + consistently with shielding than her.
Vortex Vanquisher is a horrible weapon
It’s suitable for him! 😀
