There are five different types of weapons that characters can use so far in Genshin Impact. Claymore characters in Genshin Impact are currently regarded as the most powerful class for quite a few reasons. To begin with, they do the most damage per hit, although they are a bit slower than using a bow or sword. Claymores also have the ability to break down shields, a problem that many players have to deal with daily.

Without a claymore, the only way to quickly break through an enemy's shield is by using pyro. There are currently eight claymore users, with only one of them being a five-star so far.
Updated on July 22, 2021 by Jessica Thomas:Genshin Impact is still growing and adding tons of new characters as they go along. If you are a fan of claymore users in Genshin Impact, then you will be happy to hear that new ones are steadily being released. Thanks to Inazuma, there is now even an anemo claymore user named Sayu. Below is every claymore user that is currently available in Genshin Impact, along with a bit of information about each of them. While many of them are meant to be played as a DPS, there are some support characters still on this list. Keep in mind that more characters will likely be released later on.
Eula
Eula is a Mondatadt based cryo user who is part of the Knights of Favonius. She is a fierce five-star user and one of the best claymore wielders in the game. She uses her dance arts to string together powerful combos on the battlefield. This makes her an easy choice for you if you are looking for a cryo DPS or need a powerful claymore user to help you explore the vast world of Teyvat.
Eula is also an interesting character to learn about as she is part of the Lawrence Clan and a descendant of Mondstadts tyrant ruler of old.
Sayu
Genshin Impact Sayu Inazuma Anemo Claymore
Sayu was the first four-star character to come out for Inazuma and is a small ninja. While her claymore may be smaller than that of Diluc or Razor, she still hits hard and can use her elemental powers to wreak havoc on the battlefield. She is one of two anemo four-star characters and can be used as a strong support character due to the healing effects of her elemental burst.
Sayu is said to be incredibly good at hiding in plain sight and works for the Kamishiro family.
Beidou
Beidou is a four-star electro character who can play as both a DPS and sub DPS. Her elemental skill focuses on bringing powerful hits down on her enemies with her claymore. Her elemental burst summons electro eels that will rotate around Beidou or other characters on the field if she is switched out, dealing damage.
Chongyun
Chongyun is a cryo four-star who works best as a support role for sub-DPS characters. Chongyun's elemental skill is a powerful cryo swipe to enemies, while his burst is a bit more passive. Chongyun's burst brings up a cryo field that is surrounded by three floating swords around the parameter. These blades will fall one by one and deal AoE damage.
Diluc
Diluc is the main DPS and the first five-star claymore user. Diluc has long been considered one of the most powerful characters in the game, thanks to his weapon and pyro element. Diluc's skill allows him to do three pyro strikes in a row, while his burst summons a massive pyro falcon that quickly glides across the field, causing AoE damage.

Noelle
Noelle is a four-star geo character and is primarily a support character. Noelle is able to summon a geo shield with her elemental skill that can soak up to 250% geo damage. When her shield is up, attacking with normal attacks has a chance to heal the party. Her burst is a strike that does AoE geo damage.
Razor
Razon is a four-star DPS that is made to be a main. Razor has an electro vision, and his elemental skill allows him to attack with an electro wolf claw or unleash several lightning strikes when the attack is charged. His elemental burst summons a wolf companion that will attack enemies on the field along with Razor. Swapping Razor out will make the electro companion disappear from the field.
Xinyan
Xinyan is another pyro character and a four-star. She can be used as both a main DPS and a support character, depending on what the player's team needs. Her elemental burst summons a pyro shield that can absorb 250% pyro damage. Her elemental skill has three different levels that will increase based on the amount of defense Xinyasn has. At level three, the shield will also be able to deal pyro damage to nearby enemies. Her elemental burst causes her to shoot flames from the ground damaging surrounding enemies.
