Best Characters for Amos’ Bow: Who Benefits Most?
Recommended Characters for Amos’ Bow:
- Ganyu
- Lyney
- Tartaglia
- Tighnari
- Yoimiya
- Amber
- Fischl
The Amos’ Bow is highly effective for any DPS bow character or anyone who scales off attack due to its ive that boosts charged shots. It’s particularly best suited for Ganyu, where it significantly enhances her damage output, making it almost her signature weapon.
Furthermore, characters like Ganyu or Tighnari can utilize this weapon effectively! Currently, Amos Bow is mainly recommended for Ganyu and charged shot Amber ( Amber is better off with Elegy). It can also work on some DPS bow characters like Yoimiya, Fischl, and Tartaglia, although it’s often the worst 5-star weapon for them, primarily used as a stat stick.
For other characters, it’s not as effective. Specifically, it ranks 5th best for Amber and Yoimiya, while Tighnari and Kujou Sara also rank lower. Additionally, Childe is considered a better option, classified at the 3rd best tier.
Notably, Ganyu not only benefits from Amos’ Bow in melt compositions—ranking her as the 2nd best option—but she also performs well in freeze and off-field roles, placing her at the 4th and 3rd best respectively. Thus, focusing on Ganyu for Amos’ Bow is highly recommended.
Lastly, while characters able to use Amos’ Bow include Kujou Sara, Aloy, and Tighnari, it is optimized with Kujou Sara’s aim shot and is useful for Aloy as well.
How to Maximize Amos’ Bow’s Potential with Tighnari and Ganyu?
To maximize Amos’ Bow’s potential with Tighnari and Ganyu, it’s important to consider their roles and synergies as follows:
- Tighnari functions as a combination of a Quickswap DPS and an Enabler. His playstyle involves utilizing the Quicken reaction. This causes enemies to enter a state where subsequent Dendro or Electro-attacking triggers Spread and Aggravate respectively, enhancing damage output.
- Tighnari’s Burst ability is a potent tool, firing six projectiles that deal Dendro damage. It generates one projectile each, resulting in six additional instances of Dendro damage. Importantly, it applies Dendro four times in total, thereby facilitating numerous Spread procs. The ability’s low cooldown and Energy cost grant Tighnari substantial flexibility.
- When opponents remain within the Vijnana-Khanda Field created by his Vijnana-Phala Mine, Tighnari receives a 20% Dendro DMG Bonus. This effect persists for up to 6 seconds, depending on the field’s duration and whether opponents remain. Although straightforward, this minor damage increase contributes positively to team synergy.
- In of weapon choices, Tighnari and Ganyu benefit from different bows. While Amos’ Bow is good for both, the synergy between Ganyu and Hunter’s Path is superior compared to Tighnari with Amos. Hunter’s Path is tailored for Ganyu, benefiting from Elemental Mastery (EM) and Critical Rate (CR), essential for optimizing her Melt team compositions.
- Although Tighnari can utilize Amos’ Bow due to its focus on Normal and Charged Attack DMG, he tends to value EM over ATK. In contrast to Ganyu, who benefits greatly from ATK, Tighnari finds that the damage bonus from ATK is minimal. Moreover, the potential of Amos’ ive is somewhat diminished by Tighnari’s preference for CRIT stats found in other high-tier weapons.
- Both Tighnari and Ganyu exhibit similar attacking patterns. Because a significant portion of Tighnari’s damage comes from Charged Attacks and Burst abilities, relying solely on Amos’ Bow may not prove optimal. Elevating Normal Attack levels is crucial for maximizing Tighnari’s damage output.
