Since Kaeya’s role can vary from Sub-DPS, Support, or even Physical Main DPS, it’s crucial to pick the right weapon for him to wield in Genshin Impact. Weapons like Aquila Favonia would disturb his Supportive roles but shine with his Physical DPS work. The same thing can be said about Swords like Favonius or Sacrificial, which can be awful for him as a Physical Main DPS, but perfect for his Sub-DPS roles.
8 Aquila Favonia

This effect can only occur once every 15s.
Aquila Favonia is one of Kaeya’s best Swords if he’s operating as the main DPS. The Genshin Impact weapon grants Kaeya everything he needs from high Base ATK to a decent amount of Physical DMG, Kaeya also gets a nice DMG buff from Aquila Favonia’s passive that is easy to trigger since he’s bound to stay on the field as a Main DPS.

Favonius weapons in Genshin Impact are always good with characters that inherit the role of a Sub-DPS or a Support. For Kaeya, getting him out every few seconds to use his skills will guarantee to trigger the Favonius effect and add more usefulness to his kit. Favonius Sword is a good Supportive weapon for Kaeya when players are in need of a battery in their team.
6 Sacrificial Sword
Primary Stat: 454 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 61. 3% Energy Recharge R5 Effect: After dealing damage to an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has an 80% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 16s.
Just like Favonius, Sacrificial weapons in Genshin Impact are a good combo with characters that depends on their Elemental Skills. Sacrificial Sword allows Kaeya to double Skill against enemies, which will create double the amount of Energy production for his team. This weapon also practically guarantees his Burst availability since it offers Energy Recharge stat on top of the extra particles.

Kaeya can easily activate all Mistsplitter Reforged’s requirements to get its full stacks.
