by The Great Sword of Favonius is a four-star greatsword from Genshin Impact that stands out mainly for the large amount of Energy Recharge it provides to its holder, making it much easier for the character in question to recharge their Elemental Energy more quickly.
It will be a weapon that we will generally equip to characters whose main function is to support the team, since it has a fairly low Base Attack and a secondary statistic that does not favor the personal damage of most of the characters.
The Great Sword of Favonius, like all other weapons in the Knights of Favonius set ( Bow of Favonius , Spear of Favonius , Sword of Favonius , and Codex of Favonius ), will produce elemental particles in response to Critical Hits generated by its user. The possibility of this generation will rise depending on the amount of refinements this greatsword has.
ATTRIBUTES OF THE GREAT SWORD OF FAVONIUS IN GENSHIN IMPACT
Let’s start with his statistics:
- Base Attack Level 1 : 41.
- Base Attack Level 90 : 454.
It is one of the greatswords with the lowest Base Attack within the category of four-star Claymores, it occupies this position along with the King of the Seas and the Transportable Chainsaw .
Its secondary attribute would be the following:
- Energy Recharge Level 1 : 13.33%.
- Energy Recharge Level 90 : 61.25%.
Certainly, its secondary attribute is without a doubt the most interesting point of this greatsword, since it will grant its bearer + 61.25% Energy Recharge , thus being one of the weapons that provides the greatest amount of Energy Recharge in the game. (even surpassing many five stars).
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 main advantage of this greatsword lies in its ability to generate elemental particles intended for both the user and any other individual who requires them. In other words, it allows its owner to function as a battery, even if that is not its original function.
The only disadvantage is that this passive will only be activated when executing a Critical Attack , so it is necessary to ensure that the character carrying this weapon has a sufficient Critical Chance rate to be able to generate this type of attacks on a regular basis, even if he doesn’t deal 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 :
Sayu depends on her Ultimate Skill to heal her teammates, this skill has a fairly high Elemental Energy cost and on top of that, her Elemental Skill is not very good at creating elemental particles.
Therefore, the Great Sword of Favonius is a very good option to increase the Energy Recharge of this character and somewhat solve the problem he has in having his Ulti recharged in time.
Fortunately, Dori is not as bad at generating elemental particles as Sayu, but equally, her Ultimate Skill allows her to both generate continuous healing and recover Elemental Energy for the character on the field.
So equipping this weapon to Dori can be a good idea to provide him with the necessary Energy Recharge while we can create extra elemental particles for our teammates thanks to the passive of this weapon (and in this way we reinforce his role as a battery ).
Beidou is a character who needs a huge amount of Energy Recharge to be able to always have his Ultimate Skill ready, so the large amount of this parameter that the Great Sword of Favonius gives him with its secondary statistic will not hurt him at all.
Furthermore, in his case we will not lose as much damage if we take him the Emblem of Destiny Artifact Set, since all this amount of Energy Recharge will also serve to enhance the damage of his Ultimate Skill, which is his main source of damage. .
