by The Favonius Codex is a very beneficial four-star catalyst for those characters who need a large amount of Energy Recharge in Genshin Impact to be able to execute their Ultimate Skills consistently.
Like the rest of the weapons in the Knights of Favonius set ( Favonius Bow , Favonius Spear , Favonius Sword , and Favonius Greatsword), the Favonius Codex will generate small elemental particles when its wielder performs a Critical Hit; The probability of this occurring will be increased based on the amount of refinements we have of this catalyst.
This effect will allow its wearer to gain the role of battery and can help generate Elemental Energy to recharge another teammate’s Ultimate Skill, although there will be cases in which it will be better for us if the wearer himself keeps the particles.
ATTRIBUTES OF THE FAVONIUS CODEX IN GENSHIN IMPACT
Let’s start with his statistics:
- Base Attack Level 1 : 42.
- Base Attack Level 90 : 510.
Among the four-star catalysts, the Favonius Codex has a medium Base Attack, as is the case with other catalysts such as the Marauders’ Symphony , the Amber Prototype , the Fruit of Culmination or the Solar Pearl .
Its secondary attribute is the following:
- Energy Recharge Level 1 : 10%.
- Energy Recharge Level 90 : 45.94%.
By ascending the Favonius Codex, it will give us 45.94% Energy Recharge as a secondary statistic , a fairly high amount that will be very useful for those characters who need a high amount of Energy Recharge to have their Ulti ready in time .
His Passive Skill confers the following effect:
- R1 : Upon landing a Critical Hit, there is a 60% chance to generate small elemental particles that will regenerate 6 points of Elemental Energy; this effect can only occur once every 12 seconds.
- A5 : Upon landing a Critical Hit, there is a 100% chance to generate small elemental particles that will regenerate 6 points of Elemental Energy; this effect can only occur once every 6 seconds.
The best thing about this catalyst is that it allows us to generate elemental particles for the wearer himself or for any other character who needs it, that is, it allows the wearer to act as a battery even if it is not his original role.
The only drawback is that this condition will only be activated when performing a Critical Hit, so we will have to have an acceptable Critical Chance rate on the character to whom we equip it even if he or she does not do much damage with his abilities.
WHAT CHARACTER DO I PUT IT TO?
Mainly, we will look for a character who needs to have a fairly high amount of Energy Recharge in his build :
Mona is undoubtedly one of the best candidates for this catalyst, since her Ultimate Skill not only does very high damage, but also grants a damage bonus, so we are very interested in increasing Mona’s Energy Recharge to have the Ulti always recharged at the end of its ToE.
In addition, Mona has a Passive Talent that allows her to increase her Hydro Damage Bonus based on the amount of Energy Recharge she has and her best Artifact Set is the Emblem of Destiny, which increases the damage of the Ultimate Skill . based on the amount of Energy Recharge that its wearer has.
Therefore, this catalyst will not only allow us to use Mona’s Ultimate Skill more frequently, but it will also help us increase the damage she generates with her Ultimate Skill.
Lisa ‘s main attraction is her Ultimate Skill, which allows her to reduce enemies’ Defense for 10 seconds thanks to one of her Passive Talents. Lisa’s problem is that she is a tremendously bad character when it comes to recharging Elemental Energy and equipping her with this catalyst can help her improve a little in this area.
In addition, she is another of the characters who get a lot of use out of the Emblem of Destiny Artifact Set, so we can also increase the damage of her Ulti by equipping her with this catalyst if we take her with said Artifact Set.
Other characters who take advantage of it:
- Barbara : It will be useful to help recharge the Ultimate Skills of your companions and to be able to recharge your own more frequently, since this provides healing for the entire group and it is convenient for us to always have it ready. The downside is that Barbara benefits more from catalysts like the Amber Prototype or Dragon Hunter Tales.
- Sucrose : Another character who has Energy Recharge problems and who has a very valuable Ultimate Skill for the team (especially if you have his C6). The problem is that Sucrose works much better with Catalysts like Sacrifice Memories since she needs a lot of Elemental Mastery , but you can equip this catalyst to her as an alternative if you don’t have it.
