Which Version 4.0 Battle Pass weapon should you get in Genshin Impact?
Out of all the Battle Pass weapons released in Version 4.0, here are some recommendations on what to prioritize. If you're building a specific character, then you should choose a weapon that best suits their needs. Otherwise, this lineup will help you decide which to get first and which to save for later or skip entirely. Keep in mind that these opinions are based on the Version 4.0 character roster and can change later down the line.
Recommended
Out of all the Version 4.0 Battle Pass weapons, I recommend choosing the Wolf-Fang, as it's a versatile sword that can be used by characters who rely on dealing Elemental Skill and Burst damage. The Ballad of the Fjords is also a great pick when paired with an EM-scaling wielder, and can be an alternative to the Death Match given that you set up a multi-Element team.
The Sacrificial Jade is also a decent contender for off-field DPS catalyst wielders (and there are a ton of them!), although the HP increase won't be much use. It's not a good pick for healers.
Not Recommended
I don't recommend the Talking Stick because it requires you to be extremely conscious of your timing and rotations to trigger its passive, and it's not a big improvement from the old Battle Pass weapon (Serpent Spine).
Neutral
The Scion of the Blazing Sun is a great bow for Charged Attack users (Ganyu, Tighnari, Lyney) but since there are so many good bow options in the game, it feels a little underwhelming. Out of these two, I still recommend getting the Scion of the Blazing Sun if you don't have a better alternative.
