Genshin Impact: How to get Fruitful Hook & best characters for it

The Fruitful Hook in Genshin Impact

The Fruitful Hook is a powerful four-star weapon in Genshin Impact, and regular players will want to make sure they go out of their way to get it.

Genshin Impact gets numerous updates introducing new characters, weapons, and story elements for players to explore. These additions are a major reason Genshin Impact remains atop the ever-expanding gacha game landscape. One of the newest weapon additions is the Fruitful Hook, a four-star claymore.

While the Fruitful Hook is decent on its own, having a base attack stat of 44 at level 1, it pairs exceptionally well with certain characters and play styles. Those who utilize plunging attacks in their play style will want to learn how to get the Fruitful Hook. Additionally, pairing the weapon with certain characters can be a recipe for success. 

How to get the Fruitful Hook in Genshin Impact

The Fruitful Hook in Genshin Impact is an event-wish exclusive weapon, which means it can’t be obtained through normal means.

Players can get their hands on the Fruitful Hook through the weapon banner in the second phase of Genshin Impact’s version 5.1, which runs from October 29, 2024 to November 19, 2024. The 4-star claymore’s Epitome Invocation event wish banner requires Intertwined Fates, as usual.

While it’s highly unlikely the Fruitful Hook will ever come to the standard banner, it may return as part of another Epitome Invocation banner. With that said, the weapon is largely overshadowed by A Thousand Floating Dreams and the Staff of Homa, the two 5-star weapons heading the event banner.

What are the best characters for the Fruitful Hook in Genshin Impact?

The Fruitful Hook in Genshin Impact is a great weapon for DPS characters and players who utilize plunging attacks in their play style. 

The Fruitful Hook gives players a nice attack boost from its second stat type and its passive ability provides bonuses to plunging attack CRIT rate and damage. The 5-star Diluc, 4-star Gaming, 4-star Noelle, and 4-star Kaveh are some of the best characters to pair with the Fruitful Hook. After all, all these DPS characters usually utilize their claymore weapon’s plunging attack in combos.

Pairing any claymore unit with Xianyun can boost the weapon’s power by a lot, though Diluc may be the best character for the job since he has the highest plunge damage multiplier in the game. The Fruitful Hook is a must-have for Genshin Impact players who like incorporating plunging attacks with their combos.
