Rust is a 4-star Bow weapon in Genshin Impact that allows Bow characters to play in a unique way. While most Bow characters want to use a mix of Charged Attacks and abilities, like Ganyu or Kujou Sara, the Rust empowers a Bow character’s Normal Attacks.

There are a few Bow characters with powerful Normal Attacks, which makes the Rust a great fit for certain Bow characters in the game. That being said, it’s a rather niche weapon if you don’t have the requisite characters to use. Read on to find which characters Rust fits best.

The Rust is a 4-star Gacha weapon, and can therefore be summoned from the Standard Banner, Featured Banner, or Limited Weapon Banner. The Rust is often featured on the Limited Weapon Banner, so check often to see if the Rust has a rate-up.

Rust’s Stats

  • Rarity: 4-star
  • ATK: 42 – 510
  • Secondary Stat: ATK
  • Secondary Stat Levels: 9% – 41.3%

Is the Rust any good?

Rust is a niche 4-star weapon that is not advisable for most Bow characters. This is because the weapon’s passive decreases the damage from your Charged Attacks. Most Bow characters don’t benefit or are negatively impacted by the weapon’s passive.

However, the Rust does fit well on a few Bow characters in the game. Tartaglia can use the Rust as his Elemental Skill relies on Normal Attack damage. He still has better options though, like the Viridescent Hunt or Blackcliff Warbow. If you happen to have a Physical DPS Fischl, you can also use the Rust with her.

The character who will appreciate Rust the most, however, is Yoimiya. Her Elemental Skill infuses her Normal Attacks with Pyro damage. Paired with the Rust, and you can rack up tons of damage simply by using your Elemental Skill and Normal Attacks.
