Okay, so I’ve been trying to figure out the best sword for Furina in Genshin Impact, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I started by looking at all the usual suspects, you know, the ones everyone talks about.
Initial Tests
First, I tested out the Primordial Jade Cutter. It’s got that sweet Crit Rate substat, and Furina scales well with HP, so it seemed like a match made in heaven. And yeah, it performed pretty well, no complaints there. But I wasn’t totally blown away, you know?
Then, I moved on to the Festering Desire. It’s a free-to-play option, and it boosts Energy Recharge and Elemental Skill DMG. Seemed perfect for Furina’s kit. It did okay, definitely a solid choice if you don’t have other options. But, it didn’t feel like “the one.”
The Search Continues
I spent hours looking through forums and watching videos. Everyone had different opinions, it was driving me nuts! Some people swore by the Skyward Blade for the Energy Recharge, others were all about the Mistsplitter Reforged for the raw damage. I even considered the Wolf-Fang, because…well, it looks cool.
Experimenting with the Unexpected
After getting a bit frustrated, I decided to try some less popular options. I pulled out my dusty Harbinger of Dawn. Yep, the 3-star sword. It’s got Crit DMG as a substat, and if you keep your HP above 90%, it gives you a ton of Crit Rate. Surprisingly, it wasn’t terrible! But relying on that HP condition felt risky.
Favonius Sword Surprise
Then, I remembered the Favonius Sword. Lots of people use it on supports, mainly for the Energy Recharge. I equipped it on Furina, and…wow. The extra energy particles it generates made a HUGE difference. Furina’s burst was up almost constantly, which meant more damage and more buffs for the team.
- Constant Burst uptime: This was the biggest benefit. Furina’s burst is her main source of damage and support.
- Team-wide energy: The Favonius Sword helps recharge the whole team’s bursts, not just Furina’s.
- Consistent damage: More bursts = more consistent damage output.
My Conclusion (For Now)
So, after all this testing, I’m currently sticking with the Favonius Sword on Furina. It might not be the “best” in terms of raw damage numbers, but the utility it provides is just too good to pass up. It lets me focus on other stats on her artifacts, like HP% and Crit DMG, without worrying too much about Energy Recharge. Of course, I’m still open to trying new things, but for now, the Favonius Sword is my go-to.
My suggestion? Try different weapons. Get hands on, and see your findings.
