The First Great Magic – How to get, Ascension, stats, and who can use it in Genshin Impact

It's magic!

The First Great Magic is a Genshin Impact five-star bow that offers DPS-boosting stats, making it great for characters who act as main damage dealers in the team. However, I highly recommend getting to know this bow before deciding to pull for it, as its passive has conditional effects that make it a niche choice compared to other amazing bows in the game. Here's everything you need to know about The First Great Magic.

How to get The First Great Magic in Genshin Impact

The First Great Magic is a limited weapon that can only be obtained whenever it's featured on rate-up in the Epitome Invocation banner, which you can pull on using Primogems and Intertwined Fates. As such, you need to wait for it to rotate and chart an Epitomized Path to guarantee Everlasting Moonglow at the third pity.
