King's Squire is a Genshin Impact four-star bow, part of the series of Sumeru craftable weapons. It's one of the less desirable of the bunch due to its odd kit, which has offensive main and substats and a support-focused passive. Regardless, King's Squire may still be useful, depending on your characters and specific team rotations.
How to get King's Squire in Genshin Impact
King's Squire is a craftable weapon, so you can't obtain it by pulling on any banner. Instead, you must play through Sumeru's Aranyaka quest chain to get Quest Items called Stories of You and the Aranara. Then speak to Aravinay in dream Vanarana to exchange them for Forging Blueprints, including the Tale of the King's Squire, which is used to craft King's Squire.
Learn the Blueprint by using it from your Inventory, then head to any Blacksmith to forge it with the following materials:
- x1 Midlander Bow Billet
- x50 Crystal Chunk
- x50 White Iron Cunk
- x500 Mora
It only takes 10 seconds to get this bow and you can craft as many as you like for Refinements.

Who can use King's Squire in Genshin Impact
King's Squire is a generally odd pick due to there being significantly better bow options for most characters. It also requires a careful rotation to make the most use of its passive, which is a strange mix of being support and DPS-focused. Some characters can still use King's Squire, but it's not anyone's best-in-slot option.
