With the release of update 2.7 in Genshin Impact, there are tons of new events and new banner characters to pull for, including Yelan. If you’re not interested in Yelan, however, there’s still plenty of content to check out, as well as new weapons to acquire that can be very helpful for newcomers or F2P players. Here’s how to get the Fading Twilight bow in Genshin Impact, and our take on whether it’s even worth getting or not.
Getting Fading Twilight in Genshin Impact
The Fading Twilight bow is a reward that you can get from the new Perilous Trail event. However, in order to gain access to the event, you need to meet the following requirements:
- Hit Adventure Rank 28
- Complete the main quest titled “A New Star Approaches”
This means that you need to have completed most of the story quests in Genshin Impact, at least up until the point where you’ve reached Liyue and met Zhongli. The story’s developed quite a bit since then, but it still does take some time to reach Liyue if you’re starting from scratch.
After you’ve completed the quest, Paimon will inform you of a new quest that you can pursue, titled “An Unexpected Guest.” Simply follow the objective markers to the Chasm Underground to meet Yanfei to unlock the Perilous Trail event.
Now that you can start knocking out the Perilous Trail stages, all you need to do is complete the entire Direcliff Court stage on Default Animosity. This will reward you with a few Primogems, along with the Fading Twilight bow.
Is Fading Twilight Worth It?
The first thing to note about the Fading Twilight is that it has three states: Evengleam, Afterglow, and Dawnblaze. These states increase the bow’s damage output by 6%, 10%, and 14% respectively. The bow changes states whenever you hit opponents, and it can change states once every seven seconds.
For the most part, it’s not a top tier bow because the state changes mean that your damage output will likely be very inconsistent, and you’ll always have to pay attention to what state the bow is in. That being said, it’s still an excellent F2P option for players who are just now starting to build the bow users in their roster.
There are a few craftable bows you can obtain in Genshin Impact at the time of writing, as well as some that are obtained as quest drops, but if you’re looking for a solid free-to-play option that any bow user can make use of, the Fading Twilight is a very easy option to go for right off the bat.
That’s all you need to know about how to get the Fading Twilight bow in Genshin Impact and whether it’s worth the time. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more tips and information on the game.
