If players wish to know which weapons are the best for Collei in Genshin Impact, this list summarizes some of the best bows to equip on her.
9 Favonius Warbow
Primary Stat: 454 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 61. 3% Energy Recharge R5 Effect: CRIT hits have a 100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 6s.
Although not the best weapon for Collei in terms of damage dealing, Favonius Warbow is a great option if players wish to play her as a dedicated support. With Favonius Warbow, Collei will not only work as a Dendro enabler but also as a Genshin Impact Battery.
8 Sacrificial Bow
Primary Stat : 565 ATK Secondary Stat : 30. 6% Energy Recharge R5 Effect : After the user damages an opponent with an Elemental Skill, that skill has an 80% chance to end its own cooldown. This can only occur once every 16 seconds.

Sacrificial Bow’s performance for Genshin Impact Collei highly relies on the passive’s proc rate. The more Collei benefits from the cooldown reset, the better this weapon will perform. Players should consider using this weapon if their Sacrificial Bow is fully refined, but not if it’s at R1.
7 Fading Twilight
Primary Stat: 565 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 30. 6% Energy Recharge R5 Effect: Has 3 states Evengleam, Afterglow, and Dawnblaze, which increase DMG dealt by 12%/20%/28% respectively. When an attack hits opponent, this weapon will switch to the next state. This weapon can change states every 7s. The character equipping this weapon can trigger the state switch while not on the field.
Fading Twilight is an event-exclusive bow from version 2.7. The passive is rather awkward since the wielder’s damage will continuously go up and down, but it’s a decent bow overall. For Collei, this weapon exists merely to help her deal some extra damage.
6 Windblume Ode
Primary stat : 510 attack Secondary stat : 165 Elemental Mastery R5 Effect : After using an Elemental Skill, increase attack by 32% for 6s.

Similar to Fading Twilight, Windblume Ode is also an event-exclusive weapon, but this one goes way back to Genshin Impact 1.4, so it’s probably less common than Fading Twilight. If players are playing Collei in a Quicken team, then Windblume Ode can perform better than the 2.7 free bow. This is thanks to its Elemental Mastery secondary stat that increases the flat DMG bonus granted by Spread Elemental Reaction in Genshin Impact.
5 The Stringless
Primary Stat : 510 attack Secondary Stat : 165 Elemental Mastery R5 Effect : Increases Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst Damage by 48%.
The Stringless is similar to Windblume Ode for its 165 Elemental Mastery secondary stat, but it has a better passive effect than the 1.4 bow. At maximum refinement, Collei’s Skill and Burst damage in Genshin Impact will be enhanced by a whopping 48%. Considering the Forest Ranger trainee fully relies on her abilities to inflict damage, this practically means she’s enjoying a 48% DMG bonus on all of her attacks.
4 Skyward Harp
Primary Stat: 674 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 22. 1% CRIT Rate Effect: Increases CRIT DMG by 20%. Hits have a 60% chance to inflict a small AoE attack, dealing 125% Physical ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 4s.
RELATED: Genshin Impact: Best Bow
Skyward Harp is merely a stat stick for Genshin Impact Collei. Since many of her kits are affected by ATK, the weapon’s high base ATK comes in handy for her. Skyward Harp’s passive in Genshin Impact doesn’t trigger if the wielder is off-field, but Collei should occasionally trigger it when she’s on-field.
3 Polar Star
Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 33. 1% CRIT Rate Effect: Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG increased by 12%. After a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst hits an opponent, 1 stack of Ashen Nightstar will be gained for 12s. When 1/2/3/4 stacks of Ashen Nightstar are present, ATK is increased by 10/20/30/48%. The stack of Ashen Nightstar created by the Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst will be counted independently of the others.
Polar Star is one of the best bows for Collei in Genshin Impact. It enhances Elemental Skill and Burst DMG while providing some extra ATK stat through its passive. Collei can only effectively gain two or three Ashen Nightstar stacks, but even two stacks are enough to place Polar Star high in the ranking.
2 Elegy For The End
Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 55. 1% Energy Recharge Effect: +60 Elemental Mastery. Elemental Skill or Burst hits grant a stack every 0. 2 seconds. After gaining four stacks, the player can remove them to grant a +100 Elemental Mastery and +20% attack buff for 12 seconds. After this buff is activated, no stacks can be obtained until 20 seconds have passed.

Since Collei is best used as a support character in Genshin Impact, Elegy for the End is the best option for her in this role. She can easily trigger the weapon’s passive when her Elemental Burst is active, granting a stat boost to the whole team, including herself. The bow’s Energy Recharge sub-stat also comes in handy, allowing players to focus on other stats when choosing her artifacts.
1 Aqua Simulacra
Primary Stat: 542 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 88. 2% CRIT DMG Effect: HP is increased by 16%. When there are opponents nearby, the DMG dealt by the wielder of this weapon is increased by 20%. This will take effect whether or not the character is on-field.
When it comes to the bow that grants the most DMG boost to Collei, Aqua Simulacra is easily the one. This “Staff of Homa of bows” in Genshin Impact provides a massive Crit DMG stat and a universal DMG Bonus with practically no condition. However, while it gives the best DPS for Collei, it won’t affect the team’s performance like Elegy for the End would.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
