Of course, not all Claymore users are meant to be used offensively. Some of them, like Sayu, are designed to take a supportive role in the party. Whether it’s for offense or defense, here’s where every Genshin Impact Claymore places on the tier list.
Note: Every weapon passive is written with the effect of Refinement Rank 1 ~ Refinement Rank 5.
S-Tier Claymore
For the S-Tier Claymore in Genshin Impact, these are the best weapons and can be used by almost every Claymore character.
Wolf’s Gravestone doesn’t only offer high offensive stats, but also a minor buff for the team. This weapon is suitable for both DPS and support units. As for Redhorn Stonethresher and Serpent Spine, they’re mostly suitable only for DPS. However, both weapons are universally good for any Claymore damage dealer. Even the Redhorn Stonethresher can be utilized by non-defensive characters.
A-Tier Claymore
A-Tier Claymore is either amazing but niche or great for many but not as good as the top Tier.
The Unforged and Song of Broken Pines are both splendid weapons. However, the former can only be used by a DPS who is always shielded. Meanwhile, Song of Broken Pines is only suitable for Physical Damage dealers like Genshin Impact Eula or Razor.

On the other hand, Skyward Pride and Prototype Archaic can both be wielded by almost everyone. However, they won’t perform quite as well as the S-Tier weapons.
B-Tier Claymore
As for B-Tier Claymore, players can expect them to be decent, but each weapon has its own recommended users.
Whiteblind is great for defensive characters like Noelle and Arataki Itto. Sacrificial Greatsword can help Elemental Skill-reliant units like Noelle or Chongyun. Blackcliff Slasher is the F2P version of Serpent Spine and Rainslasher is currently only great on Elemental Mastery Sayu.
C-Tier Claymore
C-Tier Claymore currently doesn’t have many recommended users.
Snow-Tombed Starsilver is not a bad weapon, but its performance comes really close with Prototype Archaic. Considering Prototype Archaic can be used by almost everyone, Snow-Tombed Starsilver has to settle for a place at the lower part of the list. Akuoumaru can be great in a specific setup, where Burst-reliant like Beidou can use it best.

Favonius weapons in Genshin Impact are usually great, but the Claymore version, Favonius Greatsword, is currently not widely used. Lastly, the 3-Star weapon, Debate Club, should only be used by beginner players.
F-Tier Claymore
For the F-Tier Claymore, there is only one weapon, The Bell. This equipment actually has a lot of potential, but, right now, there is no suitable character for it.
Genshin Impact is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
