Polar Star – How to get, Ascension, stats, and who can use it in Genshin Impact

Polar Star is a Genshin Impact five-star bow that offers DPS-boosting stats. It’s an extremely versatile weapon option and can be used whether your character uses their Elemental Skill, Burst, Normal Attack, or Charged Attack, so it can be regarded as a universal DPS bow. I highly recommend pulling for the Polar Star when it’s on rate-up, as you can swap it around various characters and will almost always be able to use it when you have an archer in your team.

How to get Polar Star in Genshin Impact

Polar Star is a limited weapon that can only be obtained whenever it’s featured on rate-up in the Epitome Invocation banner, which you can pull on using Primogems and Intertwined Fates. As such, you need to wait for it to rotate and chart an Epitomized Path to guarantee Polar Star at the third pity.

Genshin Impact Polar Star stats

• Base Attack: 46 to 608
• Substat: Crit Rate (7.2 to 33.1%)
• Passive: Daylight’s Augury
  • Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst Damage increased by 12/15/18/21/24%. After a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst hits an opponent, one stack of Ashen Nightstar will be gained for 12 seconds. When one/two/three/four stacks of Ashen Nightstar are present, ATK is increased by:
    • One stack: 10/12.5/15/17.5/20%
    • Two stacks: 20/25/30/35/40%
    • Three stacks: 30/37.5/45/52.5/60%
    • Four stacks: 48/60/72/84/96%
  • The stack of Ashen Nightstar created by the Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst will be counted independently of the others.
