Genshin Impact: Should you pull the staff of Homa or Aqua Simulacrum?
Aqua Simulacra and Staff of Homa are great Genshin Impact weapons, so choosing between the two is pretty tricky.
Yelan and Xingqiu are known for their synergy with Hu Tao in Genshin Impact, which improves Wangsheng Funeral Home so much that it becomes a top-tier DPS. Therefore, when Hu Tao and Yelan conduct a simultaneous replay, it can cause dilemmas for the players. Not only because Hu Tao C1 is just as desirable as Yelan, but also because the weapon banner features two of the best weapons in the game: Homa’s Staff and Aqua Simulacrum.
If Genshin Impactplayers are having a hard time deciding whether they should get Staff of Homa or Aqua Simulacra, here’s a quick look at their performance and their character roster.
Is the staff of Homa worth it?
- Main characteristics: 608 base attack
- Secondary characteristics: 66.2% CRIT DAMAGE
- Effect:HP increased by 20%. In addition, grants an ATK bonus based on 0.8% of the wearer’s Max HP. When the wearer’s HP is less than 50%, this ATK bonus is increased by an additional 1% of maximum HP.
The staff of Homa is a universal weapon in Genshin Impact. With its decent base attack and high critical damage, Staff of Homa is the best choice for any Polearm user looking to deal damage. The Staff of Homa also has a great effect that boosts its wielder’s performance even more, giving them 20% health at R1 and an attack bonus based on their total health. This effect works great with characters like Hu Tao and Zhongli due to their HP scaling. Other characters such as Saino, Raiden Shogun, or Xiao can still benefit greatly from Homa Staff’s passive skill in Genshin Impactas they can take advantage of this additional ATK% bonus.
List of Staff of Homa character levels
- S-level:Hu Tao, Xiao, Zhongli, Qino
- Level A: Rosaria, Raiden Shogun, Candice, Xiangling
- Level B: strong> Shenhe, Yaoyao
- Do not use: Toma, Yoon Jin
Should I buy Aqua Simulacra?
- Main characteristics: 542 base attacks
- Secondary characteristics:88.2% CRIT DAMAGE
- Effect: HP increases by 16%. When there are enemies nearby, the damage dealt by the wielder of this weapon is increased by 20%. This will take effect whether the character is on the field or not.
There is a good reason why the Aqua Simulacrum is called the Staff of Homa Bows in Genshin Impact. The weapon is extremely versatile when it comes to matching the right bow user. As with the Staff of Homa, any character willing to deal some damage can easily grab the Aqua Simulacrum and perform better. The weapon’s low base attack does not affect characters like Yelan or Tignari, as their performance depends on other stats. However, units such as Genshin Impact Childe, Ganyu, and Yoimiya can work great with Aqua Simulacra due to its whopping 88% critical damage boost.
List of Aqua Simulacra character levels
- S-level: Yelan, Child, Ganyu, Fischl, Tignari
- Level A: Joimia, Collay, Amber, Venti
- Do not use: Dione, Faruzan, Gorou, Kujo Sara
- Eloy: do not use
