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[]
Three types of Polearm Charged Attacks exist:
- Lunging forwards, dealing damage to opponents along the way (most Polearm users)
- Thrusting upwards (Xiao and Raiden Shogun)
- Xiao's Charged Attack has greater Knockback than Raiden Shogun's.
- Slashing horizontally (Arlecchino)
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.
- The Charged Attacks of all non-human polearm wielders (e.g., Raiden Shogun, Zhongli, and Xiao) have a unique animation; all other Polearm users share the same Charged Attack animation consisting of them lunging forward in a drilling motion.
- 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.
