The gacha grind in Teyvat just got less punishing with the Chronicled Wish Banner – HoYoverse's genius solution to FOMO-induced despair. Since its debut, this third wishing avenue alongside Standard and Limited Banners has become a lifeline for travelers who missed meta-defining armaments like Childe's Polar Star or the Primordial Jade series. Liyue's Remembrance of Jade and Stone rotation specifically resurrects eight legendary weapons, but which deserve your hard-earned Primogems in 2025? Let's break down these relics from 'why bother' to 'must-pull' status. 🎯

🔮 8) Memory Of Dust

Part of Zhongli's weapon trilogy, this catalyst offers decent ATK% stats but shackles its potential behind shield mechanics. Its passive grants:

• 20% Shield Strength boost ⛓️

• Stacking ATK% bonus when hitting enemies (doubled with active shield)

Like a gold-plated paperweight, it shines impressively but functionally disappoints. Only viable for Ningguang mains running double Geo teams. Better alternatives exist in 2025's expanded catalyst roster.

⚔️ 7) Summit Shaper

Identical ATK% stats to Memory of Dust but for swords. Suffers from:

• Conditional shield-dependent passive

• Outclassed by 4-star options like Sacrificial Sword

• Worse than standard banner 5-stars

Imagine buying a luxury yacht only to discover it needs moonlit water to sail – that's Summit Shaper's impracticality. Skip unless you collect weapon blueprints as trophies.

🔨 6) The Unforged

Completes the underwhelming shield-weapon trifecta. Redeeming qualities:

• Works decently on Kinich/Noelle

• 49% ATK boost at R1

• Best among Zhongli's weapon series

Still, it's like using a diamond-encrusted hammer for basic nails – flashy but inefficient. Serpent Spine or Beacon of the Reed Sea outperform it easily.

🏹 5) Amos' Bow

Ganyu's signature weapon remains niche but powerful:

Strength	Limitation
52% Charged ATK DMG bonus	Only Ganyu maximizes passive
12% DMG per second arrow flies	Outshined by newer bows
Great for melt teams	Useless on rapid-fire archers

Like a vintage typewriter in the digital age – brilliant for specific tasks but increasingly obsolete.

💊 4) Jadefall's Splendor

Baizhu's exclusive catalyst suffers from identity crisis:

• HP% substat benefits Neuvillette

• Passive requires shield generation every 3s

• DMG bonus scales with HP but locked to Baizhu's mechanics

Equipping this on non-Baizhu characters is like using a espresso machine to boil water – technically possible but wasting 90% functionality.

🔱 3) Primordial Jade Winged-Spear

Xiao's polearm remains top-tier for:

• 22.1% CRIT Rate substat

• 12% ATK boost on hit (stacks 7x)

• Universal DPS compatibility

This weapon is Teyvat's equivalent of a multi-tool survival knife – reliably excellent across countless combat scenarios.

🗡️ 2) Primordial Jade Cutter

Sword users' dream with:

• 44.1% CRIT Rate (!)

• 20% HP bonus → ATK conversion

• Flexible on Ayaka/Alhaitham/Keqing

Unlike its spear counterpart, this isn't in standard banner, making Chronicled Wish your best pull chance. The Swiss Army knife of Fontaine-era meta.

🌟 1) Polar Star

Childe's bow dominates because:

• 33.1% CRIT Rate

• 48% ATK boost after NA/CA/Skill/Burst

• Perfect for Yelan/Tighnari/Lyney

It's the quantum computer of Genshin weapons – exponentially rewarding versatile playstyles. The undisputed Chronicled Wish crown jewel worth draining your Primogem reserves.

❓ People Also Ask

• Q: Should I pull Chronicled Wish over new character banners?

A: Only if specific weapons drastically upgrade your main DPS. New characters generally offer more gameplay value.

• Q: Are epitomized path points transferable?

A: No! Points reset when banners change – plan your 240-pull budget carefully.

• Q: Do weapon passives work off-field?

A: Most don't (except Polar Star's ATK% buff). Always check talent descriptions!

• Q: Can 4-star weapons outperform these?

A: Absolutely – Serpent Spine, Wolf-Fang, and Sacrificial series often rival lower-ranked 5-stars.

💎 Final Verdict

Chronicled Wish shines for weapon collectors and meta-chasers, but prioritize Polar Star > Jade Cutter > Jade Spear. The shield trio (Memory/Summit/Unforged) remain 'trap weapons' in 2025's power-crept landscape. Remember: weapon banners are Primogem quicksand – only dive in when the prize justifies the pain! 🎰

📢 Open Debate: With Fontaine's HP-scaling meta shifting priorities, should HoYoverse rebalance older ATK% weapons like Memory of Dust? Or let power creep run wild?
