Staff of Homa Stats

Staff of Homa starts with 46 Base ATK and a 14.4% CRIT DMG substat. At Level 90, these stats become 608 Base ATK and 66.2% CRIT DMG, giving it a Base ATK on par with that of Engulfing Lightning and Vortex Vanquisher, and therefore the second highest Base ATK of any Polearm in Genshin Impact.

The in-game weapon effect description:

HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 0.8% of the weirder’s Max HP. When the wielder’s HP is less than 50%, this ATK bonus is increased by an additional 1% of Max HP.

Staff of Homa Refinement

In Genshin Impact, you can Refine a weapon by feeding it an identical weapon to itself, which increases some of the weapon’s effects in turn. With each Refinement of Staff of Homa, HP is further increased and the ATK Bonus this provides is also increased.

Best Characters to use Staff of Homa in Genshin Impact

This Polearm is an absolute treat for any DPS Polearm character thanks to its high ATK and CRIT DMG stats. However, this weapon truly shines when in the hands of a character who scales anything off their HP stat – so if you have them, Hu Tao and Zhongli are excellent candidates. Due to the wielder needing low HP to maximize their DMG output, it’s worth pairing them with a shield character to prevent any enemies from dealing a finishing blow to them (if your Staff of Homa wielder is Zhongli, then you’re already covered!) You’ll also want to heal your wielder sparingly to keep them in low HP, so remember to bear that in mind.
