The Aquila Favonia is a great sword for any Physical DPS character, either in the main DPS role or support DPS role.

There are very few sword-wielding characters who are praised for their ability to take on the main DPS role.

Keqing, however, is a solid main DPS option who can be built very well for Physical DMG. Her attack speed is very fast, and she has powerful charged attacks. With at least two pieces of the new Pale Flame to further boost Physical DMG, the Aquila Favonia can turn Keqing into an incredible Physical DPS character.

Aside from DPS units, the Aquila Favonia can also work well with some support units. Jean benefits greatly from holding the sword, as the passive ability of the weapon adds nicely to her healing abilities. Qiqi players can also deal some extra sub-DPS with the weapon’s Physical DMG boost.
