Favonius Greatsword – How to get, Ascension, stats, and who can use it in Genshin Impact

Favonius Greatsword is a Genshin Impact four-star claymore that's best used by sub-DPS units that rely on dealing damage with their Elemental Burst. Its entire kit focuses on Energy regeneration, which can offset a lot of the Energy Recharge requirement from Artifacts.

How to get Favonius Greatsword in Genshin Impact

Favonius Greatsword is a standard banner weapon, which means that you can pull for it on the Wanderlust Invocation, as well as all limited character and weapon banners. However, it's sometimes on rate-up in the Epitome Invocation banner, which you can pull on using Primogems and Intertwined Fates. Being a four-star weapon, you can't chart an Epitomized Path for Favonius Greatsword. Obtaining it comes down to pure luck.
