Staff of Homa a new five star polearm coming to Genshin Impact
Every five star weapon holds the potential to change the game meta drastically. The upcoming new five star weapon will be a polearm known as Staff of Homa. The new polearm weapon comes with an impressive sub-stat, which is Crit DMG. The Crit DMG helps in increasing the character damage by a significant amount.
The passive effect of the weapon which really makes it different from others is that it provides additional attack bonus based on the wielder’s maximum health. Furthermore, if the character’s health drops below 50% user gets an additional 1% ATK bonus based on maximum HP. The weapon also increases the wielder’s maximum HP by 20%.

Zhongli is a suitable character who can hold this weapon. This is because all his damage output comes from his Max HP. The other candidate after Zhongli comes Xiao, another five star polearm user in the game.
Xiao is a great damage dealer and when it comes to building this character, Crit DMG is something players should absolutely look for. Moreover, Xiao loses constant HP when he’s in his elemental burst, and this weapon may increase his attack when his HP goes down 50%.
However, it can’t be said which character will be the best until and unless the weapon releases. Hu Tao, which is supposed to be released in upcoming update, may become broken herself with the help of this weapon.
New four star weapons introduced in upcoming banner
The two new four-star game changing weapons belong to the claymore and polearm category. They will be introduced as Lithic Blade and Lithic Spear respectively and will be available in Staff of Homa banner. Both weapons will provide an increase in ATK percentage as a sub-stat.
However, the major reason that distinguishes them from any other weapon is theirs passive effect. The passive effect gives an increase boost on 7% ATK and 3% Crit Rate to the wielder for every Liyue character in the party. Therefore, it means that the wielder will get a total increase of 28% ATK and 12% Crit Rate, when all four party members are Liyue characters.
