Appearance
Each weapon has two forms, one when it is initially summoned and another once it has reached a certain level of ascension. Once this occurs, the weapon will undergo a change in its design. Favonius Warbow is a silver and gold bow that is tailor made for the Knights of Favonius.
Non-Ascended
The frame and outer edges of the bow is a dull golden color, with a black drawstring and two blue stars near its handles.
Ascended
The golden parts of the bow’s frame become significantly brighter, and the blue stars near the front now half grey and have inverted their colors. The bow’s handle now has a golden helix emblazoned on it.
Story
A standard recurve bow wielded by the Knights of Favonius. Only issued to the best archers long in service of the order.
Expertly crafted, the oak frame provides superior strength while the addition of metal parts makes it easy to use.
The bowstring is enchanted with the secrets of alchemy and magic, granting protection to the fingers of the archer.
This bow serves as a reward to the worthy guardians of Mondstadt, and a fine tool with which for them to continue in their guardianship.
The Knights of Favonius once had a formidable team of archer scouts known as the Outriders.
The team was founded by a mercenary leader from Liyue, who passed on his lifetime's worth of knowledge to the Outriders.
The tracking skills they acquired, along with the ability to sense when danger was afoot, were unique among all the knights.
Hence, the skills of the Outriders were invaluable to the Knights of Favonius.
This lasted until the first of the Outriders, for reasons unknown to the Knights, ultimately left the order.
From that day, the Outrider team was a shell of its former self.
Its expertise was gone, though its structure and name have been preserved.
Nevertheless, there are still those who work tirelessly to maintain the dignity of the Outrider title.
Trivia
-The Outrider mentioned in the Favonius Warbow’s lore is Amber’s grandfather.
-Windfall has a chance to proc with every individual hit the character wielding the bow makes. This makes characters with multi hit skills, or burst, like Diona’s Elemental Skill or Amber’s Elemental Burst good candidates to wield it
-When used in Co-Op, all members of the team will receive particles created by Windfall.
FAQs
Is Favonius Warbow good?
Favonius Warbow has a clear niche as a supportive weapon that functions as a battery for either the user or its teammates. It definitely isn’t the best option if you’re looking for high end damage but it still has a clear role to play in enabling as many bursts as possible.
Who are some of the best users of Favinous Warbow?
It is widely considered Gorou’s BiS weapon, due to his kit having very little scaling outside and wanting as much ER as possible to maximize his burst uptime. It is also commonly seen on characters like Sara, Diona, and Amber due to the multi hit natures of their Elemental Skills and Bursts respectively.
Where can I find Favonius Warbow?
It can be attained through wishes on any of the wish banners. It is also acquired from the completion of one of the Archon Questlines in the quest “A Long Shot”, making it a reliable option for F2P/low spending players.
Final Thoughts
Favonius Warbow is a very effective bow for characters who want to support their teammates through both their own Elemental Bursts, or through funneling the energy created by its passive to them directly. Since it is attainable through completing the main storyline quests, this also makes it a favorable option that anyone can plan around attaining just by nature of playing the game. It is worth investing into for your support/utility characters.
