Version 6.2 “Luna III” introduces a powerful trio of weapons that reshape the current Mondstadt-focused meta—especially with the arrival of Durin, the reworks tied to Hexerei (Witchcraft), and Venti’s revived on-field presence.
But amidst these meta shifts, one question stands out:
Are these new weapons truly worth your Primogems and resources?
This full breakdown covers performance, synergy, player-type recommendations, future-proof value, and how these weapons are ranking within the community.

A fast overview for players who want instant answers.
| Weapon | Type | Tier | Best Users | Notes |

| The Daybreak Chronicles (5★) | Bow | A (Specialist) | On-Field Venti, Hybrid Fischl | Very strong but buff requires upkeep. Hardest-hitting Venti weapon ever. |

🌙 New Weapons Introduced in Update 6.2 “Luna III”
| Weapon | Type | LV90 Stats | Passive Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athame Artis (5★) | Sword | 608 ATK, 33.1% CRIT Rate | Burst DMG bonus + teamwide ATK buff that gains massive value when “Witchcraft” (Hexerei) is triggered. |
| The Daybreak Chronicles (5★) | Bow | 674 ATK, 44.1% CRIT DMG | Huge all-damage buff that decays, but refreshes on hits. Perfect for rapid-hit on-field units. |

🔥 1. Athame Artis (5-Star Sword) — S Tier
Durin’s Signature: The Hexerei Engine
.JPG "Genshin Impact Luna III Weapon Tier List (6.2): Are the New 5-Star Swords & Bows Worth It?")
If you plan to play Durin, this weapon is his undisputed Best-in-Slot.
Its passive directly amplifies his entire identity as an off-field Pyro Burst support, and its final line—boosting the “Limpid” effect by 75% when Hexerei triggers—is game-changing.
Why It’s So Strong
-
Massive Burst DMG scaling
-
CRIT Rate is the best DPS stat a sword can give
-
New Mondstadt Hexerei teams activate its bonus effortlessly
-
Great teamwide ATK buff for coordinated comps
🔧 Best Users
-
Durin (S+)
-
Bennett (A) — strong but overkill
-
Jean (A) — Burst-focused builds only
📊 Tier Placement: S Tier (Specialist)
This weapon is not universal like Jade Cutter—but in Hexerei teams, it massively outperforms it.
💬 Community Sentiment (Reddit / CN / KQM)
-
“A future-proof Hexerei core item.”
-
“Turns Durin into a top-tier buffer.”
-
“Could become the Freedom-Sworn of Mondstadt.”
🍃 2. The Daybreak Chronicles (5-Star Bow) — A Tier
Venti’s Damage Renaissance Weapon
This bow gives an enormous initial damage buff (up to 120% at R1), but the catch is maintaining it through continuous hits.
Its passive activates even off-field, making it versatile—but still favored by fast-hitting on-field archers.
Why It Works So Well for Venti
-
His post-Luna III rework allows him to stay on-field
-
His continuous Anemo ticks help re-trigger the buff
-
Pairs extremely well with Hexerei amplifiers
🔧 Best Users
-
Venti (S) — strongest personal damage weapon he has
-
Fischl (Hybrid A) — works for hybrid DPS but not pure support
-
Yoimiya / Ganyu — inconsistent value → B
📊 Tier Placement: A Tier
In the right hands, it’s S-tier—but only for a handful of bow users.
💬 Community Sentiment
-
“A monster on Venti, mid on everyone else.”
-
“Great ceiling, but buff uptime takes practice.”
-
“Venti mains win. Others skip.”
🌈 3. Rainbow Serpent’s Rain Bow (4-Star Event Bow) — A Tier (4★ Specialist)
A free bow that is actually good? Yes—one of the best since Fading Twilight.
Why It’s So Valuable
-
High CRIT Rate (rare for free bows)
-
Off-field ATK boost fits many modern supports
-
Perfect synergy with Jahoda, the new off-field healer/support
🔧 Best Users
-
Jahoda (S) — tailor-made synergy
-
Fischl (S for 4★) — perfect uptime
-
Yelan (A) — works surprisingly well mechanically
-
Future Moonsign Supports — very likely expected to scale similarly
📊 Tier Placement: A Tier (4★)
Refinement increases its value dramatically.
Always refine to R5 during the event.
💬 Community Notes
-
“This bow is cracked for a free event reward.”
-
“F2P win. Massive off-field potential.”

🧠 FAQs
Is Athame Artis worth pulling without Durin?
Only partially. Its Hexerei scaling is wasted outside those comps, but its stats still make it a strong Burst sword.
Is The Daybreak Chronicles better than Elegy for Venti?
-
Yes, for damage-focused on-field Venti builds.
-
No, for pure support/buffing. Elegy still wins in team utility.
Is Rainbow Serpent’s Rain Bow good at R1?
Yes—but R5 is where the bonus becomes exceptional.
Upgrade it fully during the event.
Will these weapons be power-crept soon?
Athame Artis is unlikely to be.
Daybreak may be replaced eventually depending on future Anemo archers.
🎯 Final Verdict
Pull Athame Artis if…
You run Durin, plan to play Hexerei teams, or want long-term Mondstadt synergy.
Pull The Daybreak Chronicles if…
