What were you using before that? I got a good Fav so Imma try that. I been running an R5 Amenoma on him.

[@Samurai78420]

Don't have any issues necessarily but I was curious what you had before you started using Fav.

[@Error403HRD]

@ekg5515 the skyrider, it worked fine, but the fav is definitely better. He really benefits from ER weapons, which makes Skyward Blade his best 5 star. Another 4 star option is the sac sword, which isn't his BiS, but it works. His cooldown is too short to actually take advantage of it tho

I know its just 4 stars but new players could look at this video and build prototype amber instead of TTDS, if you are new to genshin just use thrilling tales of dragon slayers, it's a 3 stars weapon that is Best weapon for any catalyst support

[@LusciousD59]

I mean in reality as good as it is most players who aren't at relatively easy 36 star abyss skill level don't take advantage of TTDS buff without realizing it most the time due to not being aware of CD timing. I'd say it's over recommended if anything.

[@AzureDrag0n1]

Protype Amber is a very good weapon on a more established account but still ok for newer players. It is a fantastic tool you can pull out when needed. I sometimes use it over 5 star weapons on certain characters. It can be great on Nahida for example when you do not have a healer on the team. A Nahida with PA is a better support than a dedicated dendro healer with a good weapon. It can be good on a new account if you can not afford to build a dedicated healer too. Basically make a healer on demand for any catalyst user. Especially if you can spam the burst. It is pretty good on Lisa too as it is hard to make TTDS work on her early on since she is bad at generating energy and you want to use her burst which PA helps with.

[@phoenixlau]

Prototype Amber is great for comfort drafting, and that's probably the more relevant consideration for non-expert level players. I actually crafted two R5 so that I could have them on both sides of Abyss if needed (Nahida/Sucrose/Mona), and will probably make a third for Baizhu just so I don't have to keep swapping it off him since he's bogarting one all the time now.

I dunno why but the favonius line likes me very much , i have all the favonius ones .. hoping for the sac series

[@morganviolethart4044]

I have two favonius polearms and bows level 90 since they are so broken and can be run on so many characters on both sides of the abyss. There are so many bow and polearm supports who don't do damage but can help the team with energy solely based on the effect of these weapons. They are broken because no even 5 star weapons can beat those benefits and are a god send to f2p/new players.

[@Samurai78420]

I don't have two, but both my Fav spear and bow are maxed and I love them so much!

[@strelixias]

was this video made before Kaveh? I didn't hear him mentioned at all and forest regalia is actually really good on him 😭

[@gyannunez]

It’s refreshing to hear someone pronounce the Japanese weapon names correctly (I’ll give you a pass on Kitain Cross Spear since you got the others right and the transcription isn’t as clear for that weapon).

[@ctran1955]

Glad he changed it at the last second for sac sword to be in game changer. I think it legit changed my game because I could easily get bbb burst up ALL the time, not to mention his skill is incredibly strong.

[@Toqrainbow]

nah sac weapons are very overrated and sac sword definitely doesn't belong in that tier. xingqiu is the only character in the game who really uses a sac weapon well. and it's kinda bad on him before r4 because the passive cooldown exceeds his skill cooldown and the double skill cast extends rotations regardless. favonius is a straight up upgrade on him that doesn't have either of those downsides. it definitely has its benefits such as generating extra element aligned particles if you need to battery a teammate of the same element (such as yelan) and it's a very strong choice if your favonius swords are already spoken for or god forbid you don't have one period.

I'm surprised Xiphos is not game changer to you. At 1k em like Kazuha with r5 Xiphos, he give everyone 30% ER and himself 70+% and more if more em. And the best part, it stack to anyone holding same weapon. It will get broken and broken the more em sword user comes out. Also unlike Fav and Sac, it works on shielded opponent!

[@0denku0]

The Dragon spine sword for Eula is a solid pick and I'm going to stick by that

[@XylonLionheart]

Speaking as a Razor main, Snow-Tombed Starsilver is actually pretty decent on him if you don't have any 5-star weapons.

[@Daily_Dose_of_Grass]

Yep, if we're talking about physical dmg dealers, then it sky rockets the whole chart. It helped my eula beat any enemy easily, plus the R5 for it is free.

[@yonathanhaile631]

[@AzureDrag0n1]

R1 STSS is about as good as R5 Skyrider Greatsword which is a 3 star weapon. Normal attacks and burst will actually hit harder with the 3 star weapon but skill damage will be higher on STSS. It is not a good sign when a 3 star weapon competes with it in dps.

[@pinkherult6848]

R5 Serpent spine is only behind beacon and broken pine.

[@yonathanhaile631]

@@pinkherult6848we’re obvi talking about f2p weapond r5 serpent spine cost like $50

[@phoenixlau]

The way I understood it, on Eula specifically since she can guarantee the cryo, Snow Tombed is pretty much equivalent to Prototype Archaic. R5 Skyrider Greatsword is around 5% lower, and Luxurious Sea Lord is around 5% higher. But since other characters are more likely to compete for Prototype Archaic or Sea Lord, giving Eula Snow Tombed lets you put it to use rather than it gathering dust. Plus you get maximum rizz points.

[@wizthewitch]

Homeboy, King's Squire is not a CA bow. It is a Skill and Burst focused bow for ATK scaling characters who want EM as well and don't spend a lot of time on-field, like Collei, FIschl, or Tighnari. In addition, Alley Hunter gives a *damage* bonus, not an ATK bonus, meaning that Yelan can absolutely use it without issue, even though her scaling is HP based. Also, Kagotsurube Isshin is at least a strictly better Flute. Dragonspine Spear doesn't "do cryo or something" it does additional damage on enemies affected by cryo. I tuned out after Lithic spear.

[@listlesslysleepy]

Niche should have been its own tier. Cinnabar, prototype bow, whiteblind, and rust are all niche. The inazuma spear can also be called niche if it only works with thoma. Other weapons can probably also get stuffed into a seperate niche tier. Niche can be strong or mid, restricting it to only mid makes no sense.
