The Genshin Impact 2.3 update is just around the corner, and with it comes some incredible new weapons and artifacts!
The upcoming chapter will take action back to Dragonspine, and it will be colored with the gold of the Geo Element.
Here is everything you need to know about new weapons, artifacts, and world items on their way in Genshin Impact 2.3.

Genshin Impact 2.3 Weapons
This patch will focus on Defense Stats. New weapons, passive and secondary, are multiplied on Defense.
In addition, a new artifact set boosts characters' Defense, and even the new character, Arataki Itto's damage will increase based on his Defense.
New Weapons
Genshin Impact 2.3 Livestream confirmed the introduction of two new weapons.
Rarity | Name | Stat | Stat | Passive Name | Passive Effect R5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
5-star | Redhorn Stonethresher | Claymore | Crit DMG | Gokadaiou Otogibanashi | DEF is increased by 40% Normal and Charged Attack DMG is increased by 56% of DEF |

- Redhorn Stonethresher 5-star Claymore
- The weapon is a red and silver Nodachi that resembles the Inazuma weapons but with Pyro motives.
- The Claymore will reward building tanky characters with an extensive boost based on Defense.
- Best for Noelle and Arataki Itto
The Cinnabar Spindle is going to be the reward of the event Shadow Amidst Snowstorms. Players will also get the refinement materials called: Alkahest.
- Cinnabar Spindle, 4-star Sword
- This sword is Blue and Golden with a shiny ore in the middle, and it looks like a Tailor-Made weapon for Albedo. (Another hint for his possible rerun)
- The weapon is suitable for supporting heroes that depend on Elemental Skills.
- Best for Albedo and Bennet
First Weapon Banner
The first Weapon Banner for Genshin Impact 2.3 will be released on November 24, as well. This includes the re-run of two 5-star weapons.
Rarity | Name | Type | Stat | Passive (R5) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
5-star | Song of Broken Pines | Claymore | Physical DMG | Increases the wielder’s ATK. When Normal or Charged Attacks hit opponents, the character gains a Sigil of Whispers (once every 0.3s). When you reach 4 Sigils, all will be consumed and all nearby party members will get increased Normal ATK SPD and ATK for 12s. Once this triggers, you gain no Sigils for 20s. Buffs of the same type won’t stack. |
5-star | Freedom-Sworn | Sword | Elemental Masterya | Increases DMG by 20%. When the character triggers Elemental Reactions, they gain a Sigil of Rebellion, every 0.3s. When you reach 4 Sigils, all will be consumed and all nearby party members will get increased Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG by 32% and increases ATK by 40%. Once this triggers, you gain no Sigils for 20s. Buffs of the same type won’t stack |
- Song of Broken Pines is a mighty Claymore that benefits characters' physical DMG.
- Best for Eula, Razor.
- Freedom-Sworn is a sword that benefits Elemental Mastery users, not very viable with the current characters.
- Best for Kazuha, Albedo.

- Sacrificial Greatsword (Claymore)
- Wine and Song (Catalyst)
