While bow users are not the most common characters in Genshin Impact, with only three characters currently using them, two of those characters just happen to be pretty good. Both Venti and Fischl are highly sought after party members that use bows, so knowing which bows are worth your time is certainly a good thing.

We have put together a bows tier list, so you can see at a glance which ones are worth hunting for, and which you can safely ignore when it comes to leveling up.
