The Engulfing Lightning Polearm is one of the new high-tier weapons coming to Genshin Impact in the 2.1 Update. This 5-star weapon works exceptionally well with the “Emblem of Severed Fate” Artifacts, which can be earned in the Momiji-Dyed Court Domain in Inazuma. The mythical Polearm increases Attack power by 28% of Energy Recharge over the base 100%. It also provides an Attack bonus of 80% and a 30% Energy Recharge (for 12 seconds) after using an Elemental Burst. Read on to learn how to get Engulfing Lightning Polearm Genshin Impact’s 2.1 Update.
How to Get Engulfing Lightning Polearm
To obtain the Engulfing Lightning Polearm in Genshin Impact 2.1 requires a decent pouch of Primogems plus a good amount of luck. The weapon is available from the Wish gacha during the Engulfing Lightning exclusive limited-time banner. Players must use an “Epitomized Path” aimed at obtaining the unique 5-star weapon.
Keep in mind that Engulfing Lightning is Genshin Impact event exclusive, meaning players cannot get the weapon in the standard wish “Wanderlust Invocation.” This special Wish event will occur between September 1-21, so players will either need to have a good stock of Primogems in their account or earnestly farm the gems in Genshin Impact for a better chance at unlocking the Engulfing Lightning Polearm.
The Epitomized Path is a feature introduced in Genshin Impact’s 2.0 Update, allowing players to choose the specific 5-Star weapon they want to work towards unlocking. While it obviously won’t guarantee a pull from the Wish gacha, it’s a great way to increase a player’s chance of obtaining a desired 5-Star weapon by “charting a course” to it.
If a player successfully gets an Engulfing Lightning in Genshin Impact 2.1, the best playable character that pairs well with the Polearm is Raiden Shogun, as her abilities effectively scale from the weapon’s high Energy Recharge.
Genshin Impact is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android.
