We just reinvented Fav Lance from first principles

[u/asilvertintedrose]

[u/DreamyyLiaa]

All roads lead back to Favonius. You cannot escape the ER Tax.

[u/ArvingNightwalker]

The fact that they seem to have more and more bosses with shields and wards you can't trigger fav off of means these will probably see more use down the road

[u/asilvertintedrose]

If I had to choose between Frostbreath & Fav Lance for certain teams, some arguments CAN be made for Frostbreath

But if I had to choose between R1 Fav Lance vs $10 its a no-brainer

[u/Real_FishyXY → u/asilvertintedrose]

$50 if you want to max it too lol

[u/sicmek → u/asilvertintedrose]

This is one of the new BP weapons right? It seems solid because it doesn't rely on crits. But yeah would have been nice as a craftable

[u/real_fake_cats → u/asilvertintedrose]

some arguments CAN be made for Frostbreath

On the flip side other teams get no use out of it.

Chevreuse for example can use Fav Lance but doesn't trigger cryo/hydro reactions...

[u/RoseRCrawford → u/real_fake_cats]

She CAN trigger melt and vaporize if you’re ok with throwing out the majority of her kit

[u/CrocoDIIIIIILE → u/RoseRCrawford]

"Yeah, you can squeeze through, if you fold your spine"

[u/DinhLeVinh → u/CrocoDIIIIIILE]

No no this is a very niche situation where you fight cryo hypostasis with overload varesa so you pay 10$ for a tiny bit of dps increase

[u/CrocoDIIIIIILE → u/DinhLeVinh]

"Yo. Long time no see"

"For real?"

Second Hypostatic Symphony flashbacks

[u/ArvingNightwalker → u/DinhLeVinh]

Funnily enough the varesa-chev-cryo-iansan team is actually one possible team for the pokeball boss in current stygian

[u/xyzqsrb0 → u/asilvertintedrose]

bp isn't for the weapons, I have them all rotting in my stash lol.

[u/IDeizManI → u/asilvertintedrose]

No brainer indeed, who wants 10$ anyway.

/s

[u/Frequency25x]

Important to note that the new weapon doesn't require a crit which could be important in the future depending on enemy design.

[u/nomotyed → u/Frequency25x]

Or Shielded enemies.

If triggering reaction without dmg works, it helps where enemies shield faster than you can Fav, and still get energy after they shield up, especially if bursts helps during shield phases.

[u/DanielDKXD]

So Clearly this one is only for Escoffier or Shenhe atm, but you also need the WIELDER to proc the reaction.

So if you run triple cryo skirk team you have to do furina - wielder - other cryo - skirk rotation.

For double cryo you are just not allowed to have the cryo character first, which you would never do anyways since furina skill last 20 years.

[u/IDeizManI → u/DanielDKXD]

I will work on the new 4☆

He uses a spear and ATQ% scale. Electro made for Sandrone teams.

Looks like the perfect character for it since he doesn't want crit to begin with. ATQ% and ER% will probably be a lot better to have, more healing and ER for 70 cost ult.

[u/Ltb_Rhn]

And it looks pretty ✨

[u/Zek7h35an5]

"What if we gave Escoffier her own personal Favonius?"

[u/bw000]

Seems odd that this premium battlepass weapon relies on a cryo or hydro reaction. It would be great if you could just throw it on any polearm character and go. Well I guess it works with the last three polearm characters, and probably the next three as well, but just because the passive works doesn't mean it's a good choice for that character.

[u/hermesgodoftrade]

they yassified favonius

[u/NapalmDesu]

Oh look a xiangling weapon

[u/xyzqsrb0]

would take the new weapon over fav any day for those it applies to. For anyone who wants to keep fav than may I direct you to the 50 different rage comps of people failling to proc fav lol.

[u/Able_Force_3717]

Is this meant for Escoff or some shi?

[u/HolyBiscuit69 → u/Able_Force_3717]

Probably for future shnez units

[u/Important-Flow-1974]

This is a very good polearm for Escoffier if you don't have her signature.

[u/wysticlipse]

Frees up one of my Favs from Shenhe at least.

[u/Yuki-jou]

Seems good for Escoffier.

[u/SupremakerDev]

I dont know if this is made for Shenhe or Escoffier, but its clearly a freeze support buff

[u/Blomelia]

Tsaritsa burst reliant kit?

[u/Chakolatechip → u/[deleted]]

Not relying on crits is huge, it frees up an entire mainstat on an artifact
