Genshin Impact's character roster keeps growing with every update. Now that players have three regions to explore: Mondstadt, Liyue, and most recently, the island region of Inazuma, the game's massive cast continues to grow and provide reasons for players to pull for them.

One of the newest characters on the scene is Gorou, a charming and clever-thinking general in Kokomi's army. He's a seasoned fighter, despite what his appearance might suggest, but he's also unique. Gorou is Genshin Impact's first Geo archer character, and all eyes are on him when it comes to how he plays and what roles he can fulfill on a team. Gorou has a unique moveset, and a unique character needs a unique weapon. Here are the best weapons you can use for Gorou, along with their rarity.

6/6 Favonius Warbow (Four-Star)

The Favonius Warbow is a great all-around weapon that serves Gorou well in most use cases. This is largely due to its bonus effect, which increases Energy Recharge. This bow is a great choice, especially since it's a four-star weapon. You might have a few lying around in your inventory, and the chance of getting energy particles thanks to critical hits jumps up to 100% when you hit refinement rank five for this bow.

For Gorou, the Favonius Warbow is a solid choice since you'll be incredibly dependant on his Elemental Burst when using him on your team. His burst does Geo damage and has a high energy cost, so you need to be able to keep recharging quickly if you plan on consistently relying on his Burst.

5/6 Alley Hunter (Four-Star)

Gorou functions really well in Geo-centric parties where he plays support roles. His Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill aid in boosting the damage done by the rest of the Geo characters on your team. His Elemental Skill provides buffs based on the number of Geo characters in your party. His Elemental Burst works similarly, but instead also offers Area of Effect Geo damage to enemies as you fight them.

The Alley Hunter bow allows you to maximize Gorou's ability to buff your party. Essentially, this bow increases damage for the active party member, even if that party member isn't the one wielding the bow. So Gorou can be in your party while someone else is out on the field, and he can increase their damage for a short period of time.

4/6 Sacrificial Bow (Four-Star)

The Sacrificial Bow is another four-star weapon that is fairly easy to come by. You can summon it through wishes and it's a common bow, meaning it's not restricted to any one banner. Instead, you can roll it at any time on any banner, meaning it'll be easier to get refinement rankings on it, too.

What makes the Sacrificial Bow such a solid choice for Gorou's weapon is that it can increase your opportunities to activate his Elemental Skill. After you use the Sacrificial Bow and the character's Elemental Skill to deal damage to an enemy, there is a chance that your Elemental Skill's cooldown will be ended. This chance increases with additional refinements, with an 80% chance of ending the cooldown at refinement level five. This bow also features an Energy Recharge stat, which is essential for increasing how often you can use Gorou's powerful Elemental Burst.

3/6 Polar Star (Five-Star)

The Polar Star is a 5-star weapon, which means it's a bit harder to come by than the four-star ones. It's also a limited event weapon, meaning it was on a past weapon banner. If you summoned it then, you've got it. If not, then you'll have to wait for the limited weapon banner to feature it again.

Though the Polar Star may not be the best weapon if you're aiming (pun not intended) for a Support Gorou build, it has fantastic attack and critical rate stats that can boost your DPS. It also has a skill that increases the damage dealt by your Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, letting you stack your attack stats.

2/6 Elegy For The End (Five-Star)

Another five-star weapon, Elegy For The End is a unique bow for unique situations. While plenty of weapons are focused on increasing your attack stats, critical rate, or critical damage percentages, Elegy For The End is built around increasing Energy Recharge and Elemental Mastery (the stat that affects the abilities of elements, such as making your Geo shields stronger).

If you have this bow and want to deck out Gorou with a snazzy five-star weapon, Elegy For The End is hardly a bad choice. It doesn't offer as much of an increase to Energy Recharge as the Favonius Warbow, but it offers the ability to stack Sigils of Remembrance, which increase Elemental Mastery and Attack stats.

1/6 Skyward Harp (Five-Star)

While the Skyward Harp is a five-star weapon, it's a lot easier to get than the other five-star weapons mentioned here because it's on the permanent standard banner. This means that you might be pitybroken by it, and there's always a chance of getting it as the permanent banner never expires.

The Skyward Harp bow increases attack and critical rate, which means it might be useful to you if you're looking to build your Gorou into a more offensive role. While this bow increases critical rate by a set percentage as you level it up, refining it also offers boosts to your critical damage stat. It also has a chance to cause Area of Effect attacks every time you use it, which then does an increased amount of physical attack. Given Gorou's Elemental Burst, which also causes AoE damage, you can combine these abilities to potentially make Gorou a hardy offensive powerhouse.
