Polar Star is often better than Skyward Harp when it comes to DPS. It offers more total CRIT and ATK stats - there’s not much to be said. ..

Skyward Harp is a really good weapon. They’re basically very interchangeable.

Polar Star is a limited 5-star weapon, and pulling for it is generally not recommended if you already have Skyward Harp. Just use whichever weapon you have.

Both weapons have their pros and cons, but the DPS bow is favored by many for its high damage potential. ..

For Fischl

Polar Star is a DPS weapon that Fischl uses in his off-field build. It has high damage and can easily take down enemies with just 1 stack.

Skyward Harp is ahead of Fischl by a decent margin, but Fischl is still a great option. But it does fall behind because Fischl can’t make full use of its passive.

Harp’s extra attack is rarely proc’d, so you’ll seldom see her use it. ..

Still, Harp is Fischl’s 3rd best bow, after Aqua Simulacra. Use whichever one you have available.

For Melt Ganyu

Skyward Harp outperforms Melt Ganyu in a Polar Star build.

The more stacks of passive she has, the greater the gap between her normal attack, charged attack, and elemental skill. ..

Skyward Harp is a great option for those looking for a strong guitar.

Polar Star is a passive ability that deals more damage than its active counterpart, so it’s an easier ability to proc than the passive version of Polar Star.

For Freeze Ganyu

Polar Star’s high CRIT rate often results in Freeze Ganyu’s CRIT rate being over-capped - so Skyward Harp is generally better. ..

This is because she already has a high CRIT rate from multiple sources – namely, 20% from her passive, 40% from the 4pc. Blizzard Strayer set, and 15% from Cryo Resonance. ..

In practice, it’s relatively easy to overcap your CRIT rating.

Skyward Harp’s high base ATK and additional CRIT damage stats are generally more beneficial.

But the gap between the two currencies isn’t significant - it only varies by around 5% depending on how many stacks are active. So it’s best to use whichever currency you have or which build has better stats. ..

For Tartaglia/Childe

The Tartaglia Polar Star is a unique and powerful weapon that is known for its high damage output.

The bow is significantly better than any other 5-star bow in terms of its benefits for the user. ..

His kit easily lets him gain all 4 stacks and its 40% ATK buff. Plus, its high CRIT rate is highly appreciated.

Polar Star greatly helps with balancing his CRIT ratio, as his Riptide mechanic deals additional damage upon dealing a CRIT hit – thus making CRIT rate even more valuable.

Skyward Harp is still a great weapon for Tartaglia. It can easily slice through enemies, and its range makes it an ideal choice for taking down foes from a distance. ..

The CRIT stat on the weapon is always useful, as is its high base ATK. ..

For Yoimiya

Yoimiya’s best weapon options are the Polar Star and the Skyward Harp. ..

At two stacks, the gap between Polar Star and Skyward Harp decreases.

The better option will still depend on your artifacts.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to play a character depends on the specific circumstances and game situation. However, some tips on how to play the character best include using a weapon that has better stats or choosing a build that is more efficient.
