TL;DR
Pyro DPS Weapon Recommendations
For a Pyro-focused team, weapons that enhance critical damage and rate are generally favored. The Staff of Homa is widely regarded as one of the best polearms due to its high crit damage bonus [1:4]. For sword users, the Primordial Jade Cutter is praised for its crit rate substat, making it versatile across various sword-wielding characters
[1:3]. The Skyward Harp is considered top-tier for bow users due to its crit rate and crit damage bonuses
[1:4].
Catalyst Choices
The Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds is often recommended for catalyst users because of its crit rate substat, which alleviates pressure on artifact builds [1:2]
[1:7]. Another strong option is the Skyward Atlas, which provides an attack boost and elemental damage bonus
[1:5].
Claymore Options
Wolf's Gravestone is frequently mentioned as the best claymore due to its high base attack and ability to increase attack power significantly, benefiting both DPS and support roles [1:1]
[1:4].
Team Composition for Pyro DPS
A solid team composition for a Pyro main character could include Bennett for his attack buff and healing capabilities, Rosaria or Lynette for cryo application enabling melt reactions, and Xingqiu for hydro application enabling vaporize reactions [3:1]
[3:2]. This setup allows for powerful elemental reactions that can maximize the damage output of your Pyro DPS character.
Additional Considerations
While these weapon recommendations are optimal for maximizing damage, it's important to consider the synergy with your chosen team composition and playstyle. Experimenting with different combinations can help you find the most enjoyable and effective setup for your Pyro team.
I was curious to see if there was a general agreement in the community on which weapon is the general best in its group (sword, bow, claymore, catalyst, polearm). I know some weapons are obviously better on one character or build but if you could only get one weapon for every character of that type to use, what would it be?
Also interested in the difference in tier list between DPS favorites vs Support favorites, since they obviously play different roles.
Homa, Jade Cutter, WGS, Lost Prayer, Skyward Bow.
For supports, they vary too much to have a tierlist.
I'd argue either Skyward Atlas or Memory of Dust is the best 5 star Catalyst weapon right now.
Lost prayer is a lot more flexible stat stick, I would argue that crit substats are what makes a weapon flexible (alleviate substat pressure on artifacts).
No optimal for some characters, but made them a lot easier to gear.
Nah lost prayer has crit substats. Memory of dust isn’t even worth mentioning compared to the other two though. Especially compared to lost prayer
weapon with cri damage and cri rate is best for any type of character.
jade cutter still best for all sword dps even tho they don’t need hp
It has a useless extra effect, but the highest crit rate substat in the game.
I mean extra tankiness and like +200 more attack is pretty good especially since it already gives 44 crit rate.
It’s literally the sword version of homa without the bonus for being half dead. It being crit makes it universal.
For DPS:
Homa, Jade Cutter/Aquilla/High refine Skyward Blade, WGS, Skyward Atlas, Skyward Harp
For support:
Homa/Fav Lance, Sac Sword, WGS/Serpent Spine, Elegy for the End/Sac Bow/Alley Hunter, Thrilling Tales/Widsith
Crit weapon for starter
Some Atk% weapon can outdmg crit weapon woth perfect artifact, which would take a long time to get
Can’t decide which weapon and party is most optimal for pyro summoner. For a weapon can’t decide between two wands , wand & shield or staff, for party I made my choice only for Fane to make him Geomancer, should I do rest elemental as well or physical for mix party?
Summoner doesn't mix well with other specialties. You really want to pump your Summoner stat to the max. Summoners make great skill monkeys, as they don't need any particular stat, so they can pump Memory and dip into many skill trees for utility skills. A wand that boosts Summoning and a shield is fine.
As for the rest of your party, a 50:50 magic:physical mix is good, and all magic is even stronger. A Pyro mage and Aero mage would play nicely with your Geo.
But I am already pyro mage
You said Pyro summoner. I don't recommend mixing the two. I would instead make a Pyro and a summoner separately. They'll both be much better at their jobs!
Summoning is around 20-25 for end game. To fully buff a summon you need LW or glass canon and adrenaline/flesh sacrifice if elf. Want the wits to be high so you can summon first and then go invisible or port away. If you go glass canon you’re vulnerable to charm and other ailments.
Pyro you want over 20 as well. This one you need intelligence though. As a summoner you might not be able to max intelligence and have initiative high enough to start fights.
Weapons you want summoning boosting gear. There is a wand sold by vendors. But it’s a rare random effect on wands and staffs. You also want pyro. Getting good gear that has +1/2 to both will take a lot of luck.
Going LW makes this build possible. But I’m not sure why you’d bother. Flame mage can decimate most encounters solo if your build is not shit. Incarnate summon fully buffed is also good late game. Yeah some enemies are immune to fire damage but that only and issue on solo runs.
This is doable but also makes gear harder to get and if you’re asking this question you might not understand damage math and build mechanics.
But as long as you have fun who cares. Just this is not an advisable build for tactician and even normal might make it difficult.
The presets are carry over from previous games and typical rpg tropes. Due to how this game handles combat and damage the cleric, witch, spellblade, etc are traps and really just make combat harder. But that can also make things fun.
I feel more weak as pure summoner, because I can’t create surfaces, just one with random, can’t chose my favorite elemental damage and only what I could do is just summon incarnates or totems and just wait.. so I decided to use at least some elemental damage magic and focus on it. But if that isn’t possible as not Lone Wolf just let me know
What is your total summoning level right now with gear bonuses?
Some people use arrows to set surfaces. Or just combine a pyro book and summoning skill book and boom fire infusion. If one of those skill books is a source book then you get necrofire infusion. Necrofire incarnate+farsight+power+shadow+warp using the epidemic of fire attack will torch most mobs. Cursed air infusion also really good. Those are the main ones I used.
Usually I would summon. Buff. Run away and out of combat. Restore source. Sneak back. Resummon. Etc.
Summoner's weapon doesn't matter since the summoner isn't really going to attack themselves anyways. That is what the summons are for. So pick whatever gives you the best stat bonuses, ideally gear that gives you +Summoning.
Why? Summoners can’t attack with weapon while they’re out of spells?
A summoner can attack. But you'll find that once you're past the very early game that there are so many support spells that the summoner will want to be casting that there will not really be leftover AP to fight directly.
2hand weapon dor ambidextrous IS also a good chooice if you learn how get the materiales for grenades and scrolls that u want.
Well, assuming you're doing an INT build with light armor i would recommend Wand and Shield for a really solid defense. You're not likely to use your wand enough to motivate having two of them at expense of physical defense. Staff, well it's not really useful unless you're doing warfare too, pyro has enough cool skills to compensate for a stick.
Any idea on how to make a team for him as dps? these are my characters, and I wish to just use them, currently saving primo for someone else. Thank you in advance, and the more discussion the better.
Your best teams I'd say would be pyro mc, Rosario, Bennet, xingqiu/zhongli
I see, that's great, I've already built them
I personally prefer an over vape team, especially if Bennett is C6, with Xingqiu and Kuki
my bennett is C6, woah, never tried that one, but sounds fun. another unit is up to me or is there a suggestion?
I havent seen anyone suggest this, but my go-to would be Rosaria and Lynette and Bennett. Lynnette is actually really good at applying elements like cryo, and makes a full melt team possible, plus she gives a nice buff to atk with her passive. Her ult is also a taunt so not having a shield isn't that bad, and if you put Bennett circle and Rosaria ult on top of it, circle impact becomes a little less difficult to deal with because enemies will be drawn to it.
woah, I've been meaning to build lynette, is she good at C0? as a support of course
She is, you just need a ton of ER until c4 (like 240% I think)
what about lan yan, I think she gives a shield too
Maybe, but i don't know how well she would be able to spread cryo. I know Lynette does so very well.
Use a cryo unit and Bennett, for the last unit go for whatever you like.
level 1 hu tao ? 😦
😂 I don't remember how I got her, I think I was trying to get a 4 star from her banner, can't remember which
I hate going around to the party window all the time, and that got me thinking about what would be the best team comp to explore the world and deal with most puzzles/combat without the need to swap characters all the time.
​
How would you build a party that requires the least amount of character swapping? I'm not only considering the farming and exploration, but also a party that can handle most shield types ingame.
Amber's bunny can trigger some of the pressure plates, that and her being the only pyro bow helps more than just her fans keep her around.
Seriously? I always thought I needed the geo skill and never once tried other skills. I'll check the next time I find another puzzle like that. Thank you!
Yeah, Xingling and there's actually a video of Fischl doing it as well.
Her bunny can also blow up rock formations
It really has quite a bit of utility.
The Onyx Greatsword and the Demon's Scar imo are tailor made for pyromancers.
Almost anything chaos or dark infused works pretty well tbh. If you mainly want to cast, it’s best to go for something like the axe you start with so you don’t have to invest in physical stats.
Notable are Onyx Blade, Dagger (for quickstep and high crit damage), Millwood Battle Axe (hits insanely hard for how fast it is), Astora GS or guts GS for even more damage but with a heavy str investment. Pyro just has so many tools in this game… add crystal chime in the mix and you can even cast almost all spells too lol
Astora GS mentioned!!! Gonna try a fire knight build or something. Thanks for the tips :)
longsword is the best, estoc is ok
After killing demon princes you should switch on demon's scar right hand+bellvine tree in left hand
That's the tasty choice. Longsword with Chaos Gem and 40/40 faith and intelligence.
Pyromancers flame, thank me later
Damn really? Thought it was dung pies
Those are for post-PvP shitstirring.
Beat me to it.
Any chaos or dark infused weapon.
Onyx blade is really cool and good too
Meh, I don't actually think it is worthwhile at this point.
I think it is too early to consider team comps when your carries are level 50.
Level 20 Kazuha is a crime against humanity. Ascend your characters!
Will do havent unlocked inazuma for materials
Kazuha can be put in literally any team.
No hate, but some meta teams he can't be put in
EULA
Raiden national
Mono geo
Morgana
Taser
Sukokomon
Reverse melt (rosaria + kaeya version)
I think that's it
if you don’t mind, could you pls explain why kazuha can’t be put in taser? or do you just mean the popular sucrose taser?
He works with alot of elemental rxn and just all other element aside from anemo and geo because u can shred resistance of character..however it is not only just kazuha whos viable because other anemo characters like jean sucrose or traveller can swirl often.
He said no hate and proceeded to get downvoted what a nice community
Yomiya kazoo Xingqiu and venti
Do you play Genshin at all?
Seems like the type of player that comes back a while. Knowing that he has Venti, he must've at least started at 1.4. He prolly stopped playing for a bit, or just a very casual player.
Returning player
Second time posting this, last title was misleading.
Uhh I'm confused, 1 weapon type per team only? Or a team built around boosting that weapon type?
1 type per team. Guess I'm bad at this title thing.
Ah I see same as last time
Bennett/Lumine/Albedo/Kaeya is my choice for most fun anyway cuz you can spam skills without having any time to auto attack, have geo resonance + off-field crystallize maker, and spammy ults on everyone.
For polearm, I think Xiangling and Zhongli are the best team as of now
I feel like the top 2 spear users would make a better team
Have to agree
Hmm maybe Venti, ganyu, fischl and childe?
Venti, Ganyu, Diona, Childe
Nothing will ever move again
Not sure about teams, but Noelle will clap anyone in a 1v1 street fight, change my mind!
Hi! I'm in need of a good pyro dps, and most teams I see recommended for Gaming uses Furina, but I'm already using her in my other team. Does anyone have any team suggestions or advice they'd recommend to a new Gaming user? Thank you!
without Rosaria your best cryo option is actually Chongyun + xianyun. Maybe you could use Skirk instead of him in that team and then use Gaming/Chongyun/Xianyun/Bennett. everything else is very uncomfortable and can't really be recommended
Ooh okay good to know. So his melt teams are better than a vape with XQ for example?
I think Vape is really annoying to play without Furina. With Chongyun all you have to do is alternate between normal plunge and skill plunge, with XQ, you have to weave in his slow normal attacks. You could also try Kaeya + Diona, but sort of a waste of Xianyun
Gaming, Xianyun, Bennett, Diona/layla
If diona is c6 use diona if it's not then use layla
If you want to further improve this team then pull for citlali, she's currently the best cryo applier for pyro dps.
Gaming, Chevreuse, Fischl, Bennett/Iansan
Use bennet or iansan depending whichever one's buff is greater.
Does Bennett need to be C6 to be a better buff?
Even at c0 or c1 bennet is Good. But if iansan is c6 she might surpass c0 bennet.

I need to know what should I focus on? I think what I'm missing is fire element hunters and light element weapon. What do you guys suggest?
Definitely get those artifacts to +20, Get the 78 curse bracelet if you're going to run 8 piece Curse. You can be f2p and still A5 things with time. You should do your 80 job change so you can get the ultimate skill and that 3rd blessing slot on the bottom. Also your stats are all over the place. Either full send it in strength or look up a stat build that you would perfer.
Thanks for the advice! What would you say about hunters and weapons? Especially light hunter and weapon and Fire hunters
I forgot to mention I'm F2P so please don't ask me to A5 everything
Even f2p need everything a5 except some outdated units
Shove every point into strength Get 4-piece Curse and 4-Piece Expert set
And any suggestions about fire and light hunters? Also for light weapon?
For Fire Hunters, Kanae, Gina or Esil (Get them to A5, especially Kanae).
For Light, Byeong-Yu, Thomas Andre, Go Gunhee, Beak Yoonho or even Cha (Among those who can deal break damage, either Baek or Gunhee. Thomas is really good)
Get Seo Jiwoo to A5. She's the best for dealing Break Damage. Alicia Blanche is also a good option for Water Type Hunter.
For Wind, Woo Jinchul, Mirei or even Hwang Dong-Soo( At A5).
If you're going for Dark, I'd say either Isla, Charlotte or Harper (best would be Charlotte imo)
For SJW's weapons, Plum Sword(Shadow Scythe is also good), Thetis's Grimoire, Baran's Longsword, the Phoenix Bow( or the Fans for Fire type) and Huntsman( Light Type)
Attack, thomas, plum sword
You have to focus on sung jinwoo's standing pose... 😂
