Nice nice, but wouldn't that craftable defense sword be better for Xilonen?
Kaptain_Mephyton2026-01-16 03:55
Better if you want larger heals. Some people prioritize the energy regen because always having her burst up is essential. But in that case you’d have to build some crit rate on her so it’s arguable which is “better”, it’s more a preference thing.
6991120267752026-01-16 03:55
eh, I don't need the heals haha plus my Xilonen's CR is 90% so I trigger it often lol
ConciseSpy850672026-01-16 03:57
Defence on Xilonen isn’t the same as EM on Kazuha, it just buffs her heals, instead, giving her Favge and letting her battery is nicer for a lot of teams
Full-Kitchen-65622026-01-16 04:23
Yeah but you can get great heals even with fav sword too as her defense can go above 3k with triple defense with a reasonable crit ratio of 1:2 too
6991120267752026-01-16 04:30
Lmao, I moved stuff around and buily 70.3/78.8 w/ exactly 3,000 DEF as opposed to my CR Hat build w/ 2.6k DEF
luciluci55622026-01-16 05:27
Only for heals on her burst. Her E buffs scale off talent level.
You often don't use her burst due to animation so DEF is not really important. So fav it is.

Aerie1222026-01-16 08:54
We should atleast be able to salvage them and turn into billets since
clueless_shepard2026-01-16 09:12
Nice idea. Since Hoyo is generous with QOL changes these days, I hope they implement something like this instead of them just being a XP fodder.
selenta2026-01-16 09:52
Do this, and let us use like FIVE billets (hell, I'd even take 10) to craft a limited-banner 4-star and it'd be AMAZING.
I absolutely can't justify pulling on the weapon banner for a 4* weapon, but if I could even make ONE of them of each type with all the resources I've accumulated over years it'd be huge.
SeggsyBunny692026-01-16 12:43
I'd finally get that hp% sword if hoyo actually brings this system
Gregamonster2026-01-16 21:34
I'd rather they just increase the Billet drop rate.
cartercr2026-01-16 14:28
For fucking real though! After pulling Columbina I realized that I don’t have any catalyst billets to craft a Proto-Amber for her. I do have an r5 one, but my Mona really needs it for my Mualani team.

ar 56, bennett and furina share 1 fav sword and XQ and PMC share my only sac sword, i've had 5 copies of fav polearm and like 3 codex BUT WHY ONLY ONE SWORD
sutemi2026-01-16 12:42
Fwiw there is great fishing weapon for Furina - fleuve cendre ferryman, it certainly helped me since I'm yet to see fav sword at AR 57 and like thousand pulls total.
NetNGames2026-01-17 00:51
The Sapwood Blade (from Aranara questline) is pretty decent on Bennett because of the high base atk and energy regen.
Obvious-Childhood9102026-01-16 17:04

I have two fav swords and two fav lances.

I'm too old and lazy to learn proper particle management and optimal combos haha
LesserTierArchon2026-01-16 18:21
agreed for newer characters, they are either not burst reliant (every main dps since wanderer), don't need to burst every rotation (columbina ineffa etc), have special interactions with sacrificial weapons (citlali) or give themselves so much energy refund from their own kit that there's no need to stack er (flins, aino, durin)
unfortunately we are forced to play ancient characters every month in theater and that's where er becomes necessary, that's why I give my yunjin and thoma 260% er
tavinhooooo2026-01-16 19:41
Most supports nowadays use fav: furina xilonen escoffier chevreuse iansan and even columbina. As for the old ones we have xiangling xingqiu yelan nahida (nefer team) baizhu (stygian)
LesserTierArchon2026-01-16 20:04
for columbina isn't that for lunar bloom only
lunar charge has her and ineffa alternate burst every other rotation otherwise it extends flins's rotation too much

Haha I hate sharing so thet all have their own. I think I have 3 or 4 more Lv1 R5 Fav Lances and about 5 more R5 Fav Swords lol (Welkin+BP player since v1.3/2021)
selenta2026-01-16 09:45
Do it, they're crazy good. They're BiS for like half the characters in the game (i.e. most supports).
A lot of characters who don't do a lot of dmg can still contribute with: elemental application, using fav weapon with crit% gear, a 4-piece set bonus, along with one other bonus they contribute (nod krai gleam, nightsoul, hexenzirkel, etc) and still pull their weight despite not really doing anything.
silversoul0072026-01-16 07:05
The Favonius series might be the most neutral-looking weapon, drip-wise. They always looks either decent or good with most characters in the game.

Nika-Skybytska2026-01-16 08:33
I only started playing in Fontaine so a bit behind here: R5 R5 R2 sword, R5 R5 R4 codex, R5 R4 greatsword, R5 R5 R3 warbow, R5 R5 lance. However, I keep most of my copies unleveled. 25% for one character is not as useful as flat particles for whoever needs them.
selenta2026-01-16 09:54
Why would you not level them? The ER upgrade for the wearer is huge, if nothing else. I guess starting in Fontaine your roster might still be lacking, but if the holder of the fav weapon isn't using their burst then there's probably a better replacement out there.
Nika-Skybytska2026-01-16 13:46
Weapon levelling in Genshin is too expensive. I have 81 characters as of today. To get enough ores for everyone I either have to spend resin or spend lots of time running around the map daily. Ain't got either playing three gachas at the same time.
I have one leveled copy for abyss and onslaught, and only use other copies in imaginarium theater. I mainly use favge for particles if my damage dealer is lacking in ER, not as an ER stick for the wearer of favge themselves. It works great, I got 12 stellas this month.
Diado-K2026-01-16 08:51
