Genshin Impact Fontaine Guide: Crafting & Using the Rightful Reward Polearm in 2026
Discover the exceptional F2P potential of the Fontaine-crafted 4-star polearm, Rightful Reward, a game-changing weapon for HP-scaling supports in 2026. Its unique energy-restoring passive makes it a top-tier, accessible choice for characters like Chevreuse and Yaoyao.
Hey everyone! Fontaine has been out for a while now, but its craftable weapons are still top-tier F2P options in 2026. Today, I want to deep dive into one of my personal favorites: the 4-star polearm, Rightful Reward. It's not just another weapon; its unique passive that restores energy on healing has made it a game-changer for so many support and HP-scaling characters. If you're looking for a reliable, accessible weapon that doesn't require gacha luck, this is it. Let's break down everything you need to know about getting it, building it, and who to use it on!

🛠️ How to Craft Your Rightful Reward
First things first, you need the blueprint! Head over to the Fontaine blacksmith. You can exchange for it using some local Fontaine specialties:
-
Bulle Fruit
-
Pluie Lotus
-
Condessence Crystal
Once you have the blueprint, the real crafting begins. Here’s your shopping list:
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Midlander Polearm Billet | x1 |
| Condessence Crystal | x50 |
| White Iron Chunk | x50 |
| Mora | x5000 |
A little pro tip: If you're short on a Midlander Billet, remember you can use the Vanarana's Favor system in Sumeru to exchange for one! It's a bit of a grind, but totally worth it.
⚔️ Weapon Stats & Passive Breakdown
So, what are you getting for all that crafting effort? Let's look at the numbers at level 90:
-
Base ATK: 565
-
Secondary Stat: 27.6% HP
Now, the star of the show is the passive, "Tip of the Spear." This is what makes the weapon so special. When the wielder is healed, they gain Energy. The amount scales with refinement:
-
R1: 8 Energy
-
R2: 10 Energy
-
R3: 12 Energy
-
R4: 14 Energy
-
R5: 16 Energy
✨ Key Mechanic: This effect can trigger even if the character is off-field, and it has a cooldown of 10 seconds. This means your support character can toss out their skill or burst, swap out, get healed by your team's healer, and still get a nice energy top-up! It's fantastic for smoothing out energy requirements.
🌟 Best Characters for Rightful Reward in 2026
This polearm is a perfect match for characters who scale with HP and/or have energy-hungry bursts. It's become a staple in my F2P builds. Here are the top contenders:
Top-Tier Users (They self-heal or easily trigger the passive):
-
Chevreuse 🧨 - The Pyro support queen! Her skill damage and healing scale off HP, making the secondary stat perfect. The energy refund helps her maintain her Overload support uptime.
-
Mika ❄️ - His whole kit is about healing and attack speed buffs. Rightful Reward turns him into an energy-generating machine, letting him spam his burst more often for constant team heals and physical buffs.
-
Yaoyao 🥬 - My go-to Dendro healer! Her burst healing is massive and based on her max HP. This weapon boosts her healing and ensures she always has energy for her next bunny barrage.
Good Users (Need a team healer to activate the passive):
-
Zhongli 🪨 - While he doesn't heal himself, pairing him with a healer like Kokomi or Kuki Shinobu means his massive HP-shield build also benefits from occasional energy top-ups, helping him recast his planet-be-damned burst more frequently.
-
Thoma 🔥 - Similar situation. In burgeon or shield-support builds, the HP% is great, and having a healer on the team (like Yaoyao or Bennett) will trigger the passive for him off-field, fueling his burst.
💡 Refinement Priority & Team Synergy Tips
Should you refine it? Absolutely, if you can! This is one craftable weapon where refinements make a significant difference. Going from R1 (8 Energy) to R5 (16 Energy) is a huge jump in comfort and can often let you run much less Energy Recharge in your artifact substats.
Team-Building Synergy:
This weapon shines in teams with consistent healing. Think about pairing your Rightful Reward user with:
-
Kokomi / Barbara for constant Hydro application and healing.
-
Kuki Shinobu for off-field Electro and healing.
-
Bennett (though be mindful of the HP cap on his heal).
-
Any character with the Prototype Amber catalyst.
The beauty is that the healing doesn't have to be on the polearm user themselves. Any heal that affects them will trigger the effect!
🆚 How Does It Compare to Other F2P Polearms?
Let's be real, we have options. Here's a quick comparison:
-
Crescent Pike: Pure physical DPS weapon. Rightful Reward is for supports/HP scalers. Different purposes entirely.
-
Kitain Cross Spear: Also provides Energy, but through skill use and at the cost of energy initially. Rightful Reward's method is more passive and reliable for heal-centric teams.
-
The Catch (R5): The ultimate F2P burst-DPS polearm. If your character's main job is pure burst damage (Xiangling, Raiden), The Catch is better. If they are an HP-scaling support/healer who needs energy, Rightful Reward is often the superior choice.
Final Thoughts & My Build Experience
I've had my R5 Rightful Reward on my Yaoyao since Fontaine dropped, and it has never left her. The comfort of knowing her burst is almost always ready, combined with her already chunky heals being made even chunkier by the HP% substat, is incredible. It's one of those weapons that feels like it was tailor-made for specific characters.
TL;DR for my fellow travelers:
-
Get it if: You use Chevreuse, Mika, or Yaoyao. You need a great F2P HP% polearm. You run teams with strong healers.
-
Crafting is straightforward with Fontaine materials.
-
Refinements are highly valuable.
-
It enables smoother rotations and lets you focus on other stats like HP% or Critical on your artifacts.

Key findings are referenced from UNESCO Games in Education, emphasizing how systems-focused understanding helps players make better strategic choices—an idea that maps neatly onto Rightful Reward’s heal-triggered Energy refund. Viewing the polearm through a mechanics-first lens makes its value clearer: it rewards rotation planning and consistent healing uptime, letting HP-scaling supports maintain burst availability more reliably without leaning on gacha weapons.
