Genshin Impact has a whole load of weapons allowing players to choose from but it is difficult to know which one is the best for your character. When it comes to swords, they may have a great ATK power, its secondary abilities may not make them the best choice for any given character in the game.

Like every weapon, a 5-star sword is better than the rest but not every player can guarantee themselves a 5-star weapon. This is not a big problem since the game has an ample amount of quality 4-star swords.
Top 5 Best Swords in Genshin Impact
Here is a list of the best swords in the game.
Mistsplitter Reforged
The Mistsplitter Reforged is a new sword added to Genshin Impact in the version 2.0 update. It works well with characters like Kamisato Ayaka, Keqing and other characters who are in need of extra Elemental Damage Bonus and CRIT DMG. So far, the Mistsplitter Reforged is one of the strongest weapons for any Elemental DPS characters since the sub stat is Crit Damage, which again, makes it easier to build any DPS Characters.
