Three critical limitations with 5-star weapons of Genshin Impact

Usually, people attach 5-star weapons on literally any unit that they can find. However, there a few things that you must keep in mind before you decide to invest your resources. These 5-star weapons might work for other characters, but each one has one critical issue that most people ignore.

Impossible drop rate: These weapons come with an impossible drop rate that makes them hard to acquire. This would directly make the refinement rank upgrades impossible to gain much like the character constellations. These weapons only show up for a limited duration, and each one comes equipped with a pity system that is hard to get. Players usually invest resources in picking up characters, which makes it impossible to get 5-star weapons.

Each 5-star weapon is designed for a specific unit: The studio designs these legendary weapons for a particular 5-star unit. This reduces their viability, and it might not generate the desired results for other units. This makes it increasingly difficult to get the right weapon, and the majority of the time, you will not get what you need. However, these weapons will surely provide enhanced base attack that no 4-star weapon will offer.

5-star weapons demand a lot of resources: Naturally, the rarity of these weapons will demand more resources to build. These weapons would demand significantly more Mystic Enhancement Ore and ascension materials. The weapon ascension items for 5-star will also demand a more rare resource that you need to farm by investing all the allotted original resins. This is yet another feature that greatly enhances an investment in these rare weapons, which does not necessarily work for every character.
