The Skyward Harp is a five-star bow that boosts the wielder's Crit Rate and Damage, making it a versatile DPS-oriented weapon that can be used by a wide array of characters. It was my first standard banner weapon from Genshin Impact's launch in 2020, and it still continues to be one my most-used bows due to how easy it is to give to almost anyone.
How to get Skyward Harp in Genshin Impact
Skyward Harp is a standard banner weapon, which means that you can pull for it from the permanent Wanderlust Invocation banner, as well as all limited weapon banners. However, this also means that it's impossible to chart an Epitomized Path to target the Skyward Harp, so I don't recommend intentionally aiming to get this weapon from the gacha.

Who can use Skyward Harp in Genshin Impact
The Skyward Harp is a DPS-oriented weapon that boosts the wielder's Crit Rate and Damage, giving you more leeway when rolling for Artifact stats. It's not made for a particular gameplay niche, but is a versatile and generally useful weapon that can be swapped around a ton of bow users in the game. While we provide you with an extensive list of who can use the Skyward Harp, I highly recommend giving it to a main DPS or a damage-oriented sub-DPS, as they can utilize the weapon's stats to the fullest.
