Polearm

Polearms are one of the five weapon types that characters can use in Genshin Impact.

They have fast attacks and long reach and deal moderate damage per hit.

Normal Attacks[]

A Polearm user's Normal Attack chain typically consists of 4-6 fast melee attacks.

Charged Attacks[]

A Polearm user's Charged Attack is usually a forward lunge that deals damage to opponents along the way. However, Zhongli, Xiao, Raiden Shogun, Arlecchino and Emilie have unique slashing Charged Attacks.

All Polearm Charged Attacks cost 25 Stamina by default.

Plunging Attacks[]

Polearm Plunging Attacks are considered Blunt Attacks. All Polearm users have similar animations when plunging, which involves them spinning downward like a drill.

Trivia[]

Zhongli's Normal Attack involves him kicking his polearm. Characters with the "Medium Male" model type (e.g., Xiao, Cyno) also kick their polearms, but only in the menu screen.
- Rosaria used to kick her polearm in the menu screen, but her animation was updated in Version 2.1 so that she no longer kicks it.
During the era of Mondstadt's nobility, the polearm was viewed as a weapon for "plebian gladiators and commoners," along with the bow. The polearm in particular was looked down upon by sword-wielding nobles because they saw the weapon as a potential threat.^[1]
The first four polearm users in the game: Xiangling, Zhongli, Xiao and Hu Tao, are all from Liyue. Rosaria was the first non-Liyue playable character introduced to use the polearm.
In Chinese, polearms are called 长柄武器, which literally means "long-handled weapon." They fall into a similar class of weapons as lances, spears, etc.
