With a new update comes new loot! Elegy for the End and Skyward Blade are the latest 5-star weapons to grace Genshin Impact in its version 1.4 update. Read on to find out how to get these powerful artifacts and make your characters even more fearsome.
Note: Both Elegy for the End and Skyward Blade are event exclusive, which means they will only be offered for a limited time. They cannot be extracted from the standard wish banner, Wanderlust Invocation.
Elegy for the End (arc)
A bow as beautiful as a bard's lyre, its arrows pierce the heart like a lamentable sigh.
Elegy for the End is a new 5-star bow featured in the 1.4 Epitome Summoning wish banner, in which it receives a significant drop rate boost. To cast Wishes, you'll need to acquire Fates, most often by converting your hard-earned Primogems.

Her special ability, “The Chorus of Separation,” primarily increases Elemental Recharge and Elemental Mastery. When the character wielding this weapon hits enemies four times with an elemental blast, all nearby party members will also receive a 20% ATK boost.

How to get Elegy for the End and Skyward blade
The two new weapons are only available in the latest Epitome Invocation wish banner. As featured weapons, they receive a drop rate boost that increases the standard chance of getting a 5-star weapon.
Mercy Warrants work for Weapon Banners just like they do for Characters, except the number to trigger a 5-Star Mercy Wish for Weapons is 80 instead of 90. If you roll 79 Wishes in Epitome Summon and you still haven't received a 5 star weapon, your next pull is guaranteed to grant you one.
