New 4 star weapons are expected to arrive in the 1.3 and 1.4 updates of Genshin Impact. However, these 4-star weapons are going to be even more powerful than 5-star ones if used correctly. Here we will show you which new weapons are coming in the future updates of Genshin Impact and how to maximize their effects.
Genshin Impact- New Weapons
Patch 1.3 will be featuring the character Xiao for the first time along with a Lantern festival in the Liyue Harbor event. With this, new weapons are also accompanied which are currently rumored. However, this information may not be related to the final products as no official announcements have been made. Without further ado, let’s jump right into the weapons arsenal.

The weapon will be providing a bonus ATK and Crit rate for every Liyue Harbor character in the party. Each character will help earn a 7% ATK and 3% Crit Rate which stacks up to 4 times with a maximum bonus of 28% ATK and 15% Crit rate.
