Who is Polar Star Good For?

Venti	Fischl	Tartaglia
Ganyu	Yoimiya	Sara
Aloy	Lyney	Yelan
Tighnari	Collei

Great for Main and Sub-DPS Characters

The Polar Star is an amazing tool for Main and Sub-DPS characters. Even at only 2-3 buff stacks, the weapon will give a substantial DMG increase to any character who relies on their Elemental Skill or Burst for DMG.

Decent Alternative for Yoimiya

The Polar Star is a decent alternative for Yoimiya if she doesn't have her best weapon or the Rust. Her Elemental Skill can't give her a stack and she doesn't really use charged attacks, but it's still a good weapon that increases her CRIT Rate by a lot.

Great Choice for Yelan

Yelan can take full advantage of the buffs the Polar Star can provide, especially as the Main DPS. Though the ATK% buff doesn't affect her Elemental Skill or Burst, it can still affect her Normal Attack DMG!
