Forged from the clouds inupdate 4.7. The weapon grants a fixed Elemental Mastery value to the wielder during energy loss for the ultimate ability, which stacks twice.
In this guide we will tell you how to get the Cloud Forged Bow and what materials you will need to upgrade it. We will explain the nuances of how the weapon works and consider who it is suitable for.
How to get the Cloud Forged Bow
Cloudforged is available as an event reward "Modeling Mutual Security Improvement" in patch 4.7. You can pick up epic equipment from the tab in the main menu by completing tasks for attacking or defending against monsters.

To upgrade Cloud Forged, you will need materials from different regions:
- Broken/split/undying hilt - resource dropped after killing Praetorians.
- Private/Sergeant/Officer's Chevron - loot from Fatui Skirmishers, some Pyro Agents of Fatui and Tsitsin Mages.
To awaken the Cloudforged to the maximum level (P5), duplicate weapons will not be needed. Instead, it is enough to score a certain number of points in the Li Yue tactical event and collect the necessary materials as a reward. With each awakening level, the elemental mastery buff increases by ten units.
Who is suitable for Cloudforged in Genshin Impact?
Cloudforged is an extremely situational equipment for archers, and not everyone will be able to freely activate its ive skill. The entire mechanics of obtaining a gain is tied to the loss of energy necessary for the explosion of the elements. Furthermore, the vast majority of shooters do not require the elemental mastery gained this way, especially when more attractive alternatives are available.
At the time of adding to the game, without resorting to “dancing with a tambourine”, only one character will be able to use the weapon 100%:
| Character | Recommendation |
|---|---|
Sethos |
Due to its mechanics, Sethos can absorb its own energy. The ive skill “Riddle of the Black Kite” allows you to spend accumulated units on an explosion of elements during an aimed shot and thereby reduce the charge accumulation time. In addition to another ive, which allows him to receive the Shadow of the Scorching Sands effect and thereby increase the damage of a charged attack by 700% of his elemental mastery, all talents have a damage scale based on the percentage of MS. Sethos can easily activate the effect and receive a significant percentage increase. The bow looks especially good in packs that play with buds, where it covers the reaction as the main damage dealer, since the damage from a bud explosion completely depends on the value of the character’s Electro elemental mastery. |
You can also activate the bow ive on other heroes. To do this, they need to wear a full set of artifacts Shimenawa's Reminiscence. After using the skill, if there are 15 or more units of energy in the burst of elements, the owner will lose 15 units of energy, and in return will receive a buff to the damage of normal attacks, charged attacks and falling attacks by 50% for 10 seconds. The effect cannot be activated again within this period, so the implementation of all stacks will take quite a long time.
We list the heroes to whom you can give the bow if there are no alternatives:
| Character | Recommendation |
|---|---|
Tignari |
The bow could look good on Tignari due to its ive skill that allows it to convert 0,06% of Elemental Mastery into damage from charged attacks and ultimate. However, it is not advisable to equip a Sumerian scientist with a full set of Shimenawa Memories for the sake of 40-80 MC units. In addition, Tignari's E-shka recharges for 12 seconds, while energy removal for the ult from the set occurs once every 10 seconds, and one stack of bow lasts 18. That is, the double boost to elemental mastery will last for only 6 seconds, not to mention already about the need to generate energy using sub-dd. The same 80 MCs can give two pieces of sets such as Itinerant ensemble, and their combinations in the ratio 2/2 and all 160 units. |
Eimia |
A full-fledged Shimenawa set looks good on Yeimiya, and the bow also gives good basic attack power at all levels of pumping, which is extremely important for the heroine. However, the cooldown of Eimiya’s skill at all levels of pumping lasts 18 seconds, that is, the entire duration of the first buff of Cloud Forged from energy loss. She will not be able to get a second stack, which would increase the value of elemental mastery, and this stat is not important for her in all units. Even if you want to play with it through the Blossom reaction, where the damage caused by the explosion of buds depends on the elemental mastery of the attacking Pyro character, it is much more profitable to take sets from the above example with Tignari and a bow King’s Squire, which can be forged in a forge. |
Fischl |
Although the heroine needs elemental mastery in Dendro units, she does not benefit from Shimenawa's Memories set, since it does not enhance her main source of damage (E-shku). Can only be used when there are no alternatives due to elemental mastery in the sub-stat. |
Ganyu |
Ganyu will be able to use a bow in units through Meltdown, but without Cryo partners she may have problems activating the set. In addition, the elemental explosion also ively increases its damage, so it is not advisable to abandon it. |
Also, the ive effect of the epic bow can trigger without the Shimenawa Memories set, if during the battle with the open world boss Flock of vishaps of the depths fall under their elemental spheres, which suck energy. In addition to the Thundermouth and the Ice Gnawer, ordinary vishaps of the depths can also absorb energy using their Cleansing Flow skill.
How the weapon works
The ive effect is revealed only when the owner loses the energy of the ultimate skill. Depending on your Ascension level, Elemental Mastery increases by 40/50/60/70/80 and can stack twice. Even when playing with Shimenawa's set, it will take 10 seconds to gain two boost levels, which will only last for the remaining 8 seconds.
The bow owner must constantly lose energy and play in synergy with s, who will restore the necessary units. Based on this, we propose two rotations: for playing with Shimenawa and when using weapons on Sethos.
Rotation with set Shimenawa's memory:
- Before pressing an elemental skill, be sure to make sure that the owner of the bow has 15 or more energy units, otherwise the effect of the set will not work. If there is no energy or not enough, then use any ability of a sub-deader or that will help charge an explosion of elements. Next, switch to the bow carrier so that the elemental particles flow directly.
- When you have 15+ energy, use an elemental skill. Shimenawa will cut energy and go into cooldown for 10 seconds, while giving a buff to falling/normal/charged attacks. The owner of the bow will receive 40-80 elemental mastery for 18 seconds upon realizing the first stack.
- After 10 seconds, after the effect of 4 parts of the set has cooled down, use the skill to burn the required amount of energy again. The elemental mastery obtained in this way is cumulative, that is, it will give 40+40/80+80 depending on the awakening level.
To activate the ive feature of the bow for Sethos, any of its rotation options is sufficient. Let's consider one of them:
- Use the skills or elemental explosions of s and hang the status for future reactions.
- Select Sethos and use Aimed Shot once. For a charged attack, it will burn the required amount of energy and activate the bow's ive feature.
- Press the elemental skill while closing any of the reactions with Electro. This maneuver will allow you to restore spent units.
- Charge 3 Shadow Piercing Shots. With the first attack, the second buff of the epic bow is activated.

Why isn't pressing the elemental explosion itself considered a loss of energy?
I have a bow from Sidgvin, he looks the best))
It should be considered, it just means that the ive will be activated only 1 time, not 2... I use it on Tignari, and then I just decided to see where I got it from (and R5). As it turned out, I got it when I just started playing.
Lini will do if through reactions?
No, then the bow only has atk, it's better to have one that has atk or crits in the additional stat, for example, crafted ones (in addition to the fact that it gives a bonus to physical damage)
Although, I'm probably already late
Is it suitable for colley onions?
Nobody needs Kollei herself, it's better to have Dendro-gg, there's a better choice there, for example, a steel sting
You are asked whether it will work or not, and not that no one needs it. Dendro gg can't play through burning, for example, and his colley can be C6. She is a useful character, she is most often used in sp**runs in the abyss, because she brings a huge amount of status per second, and with the ultimate, the cookie takes away 2 million HP in 10 seconds
And what’s funny is that even in Sethos, the slingshot + has the same benefits, the main thing is to keep your distance. And the weapon is even cheaper to upgrade, it gives crits and the hero doesn’t care about attacking
I don’t understand this whole text at all - it sounds like nonsense to me. The letters are familiar, but the understanding of the text is 0%. Why create such incomprehensible things at all :)? Terrible event - so much fuss for an unnecessary bow
will this bow fit the venti??
if there is no Stringless then yes
For some reason, Fischl’s table says about Shimenava and not about onions
Hello! Shimenawa is mentioned because in the article we described that even those characters who do not have the mechanics of changing energy can play through this set with this bow. Most of the other heroes in the table benefit from this set, so it was important to clarify with Fischl that this is too situational an option for her.
Suitable for the Guardian of the Clouds?
If you are talking about Xian Yun, then no - she is a catalyst.
Considering the greed of the developers for normal fluff, I wouldn’t be surprised that they sleep at night and dream of how to remove the slingshot and kazik with the stringless one from the gacha, so that everyone would run to the bench gunsmith due to the lack of alternatives :)
Although okay, not ve and not atk, thanks for the ms.
Good for a collection of weapons for show.
the last staff was very
Well, yes, VE and HP are very suitable for healers, but when it comes to damage dealers, then only the Melusine sword was relatively normal (and then only with the help of all the Melusines) :)
They could create a conventional sword for at least 15 shk, this is a drop in the ocean compared to the signals, but no longer useless trash.
I took BP several times solely for the sake of crit gags, since it’s not profitable to turn the weapon on a mikhue, and giving something for ATK is immediately minus the balance of stats.
In of crits, the only hope is for a catch and a pipe. That is, that the crits will be for one of the talents and that it will be about 12%. I, too, once thought that the weapon’s power supply was a must-have if you needed crits, but the dragon bone was lying idle, and the rest of the weapons had better analogues. If it is not an ayato or a clorinda with a black sword, not a Haitham or a keka with a wolf fang, not a hutao/Xianka with a ballad, and not a Navillet with a jade, then most likely the weapon will be a temporary measure.
I even regret a little that before 4.0 I managed to buy 7 BP and did not wait for the fang, which would allow Haitham to forget about Signa.
Yes, and sometimes you can go to the gun shop if both guns are profitable. Both are crit, both are signals for existing Persians, or one of them is a good gun, and the second is crit (or harvest on minmax Xiang)
