Archon of the hydro nation, Genshin Impact’s Furina, lives for the drama of the courthouse and presides over all of Fontaine’s goings-on. She’s a five-star, hydro unit that uses a sword and can help pop off tons of reactions on the field with her menagerie of watery animals, while putting on a fantastic show, of course.

Here’s everything you need to know about the best Genshin Impact Furina build.

What’s the best Genshin Impact Furina build?

Best weapon Splendor of Tranquil Waters
Weapon substitutes Dockhand’s Assistant, Key of Khaj Nisut
Best artifact set Golden Troupe
Main stats Sands – HP
Goblet – Hydro damage bonus
Circlet – HP
Sub stats HP, energy recharge, crit rate, crit damage

The best Furina build has her equipped with her signature weapon, a four-piece set of the Golden Troupe artifact set, and uses her as a sub-DPS dealing hydro damage on and off field. She’s an excellent unit for popping off reactions including hyperbloom, freeze, and vaporize.

As part of her performance on the field, Furina invites the guests of the Salon Solitaire to come forth and join her either dealing constant damage or healing your character, depending on Furina’s current Arkhe alignment. Furina can change her alignment using her charged attacks. Her attacks scale off her HP, so keep this in mind when building her.

How do I use Genshin Impact’s Furina?

Ideally, you want Furina’s burst to be up as much as possible, while also keeping an eye on which of her skills are currently deployed on the field. If you need a little healing boost while dealing some hydro damage, use her Pneuma-aligned skill – whereas if you want all hydro damage all the time, use her Ouisa-aligned watery summons.

What are the best Furina weapons?

Furina requires a high HP stat and plenty of energy recharge, but thankfully there are plenty of good weapon choices to help out with this, while also boosting her damage.

Weapon Effect How to obtain
Splendor of Tranquil Waters (five-star) Bonus effect: Increases crit damage
Skill:
When Furina’s current HP increases or decreases, her elemental skill damage increases by 8% for six seconds. This can stack three times. When other party members’ HP fluctuates, her max HP increases by 14% for six seconds – this can stack twice. These effects can trigger even when she is not on field.

What are the best Genshin Impact Furina artifacts?

Furina’s kit is all about elemental damage, even with her using a sword as a weapon. Her deployable animals constantly attack foes with hydro, so boosting her elemental damage bonuses is key – but most important is her HP. As mentioned, her attacks scale off it, so at least one HP-boosting two-piece set is recommended.

Obviously, a hydro-boosting two-piece will work on Furina if you don’t have much else, but there are better options for her kit.

Artifact Effect How to obtain
Golden Troupe Two equipped: Increases elemental skill damage
Four equipped: Increases Furina’s elemental skill damage by 25%. When she is not on field, her elemental skill damage further increases by another 25%. This clears two seconds after she takes the field
Denouement of Sin domain
Marechaussee Hunter Two equipped: Increases normal and charged attack damage
Four equipped: When Furina’s current HP increases or decreases, her crit rate increases by 12% for five seconds. This can stack three times
Denouement of Sin domain

Nymph’s Dream Two equipped: Increases hydro damage
Four equipped: After Furina’s normal, charged, and plunging attacks, elemental skills, or elemental bursts hit opponents, she triggers one stack of Mirrored Nymph. When under the effect of one, two, or three stacks, her attack increases by 7/16/25%, and hydro damage bonus increases by 4/9/15%

What are the best Genshin Impact Furina team comps?

Right now, we’re testing out the hydro archon in a few different teams to see where she excels. We do have some preliminary team comp recommendations, though. Furina can deal a lot of hydro damage and apply the wet status almost constantly, as well as buffing your team, so she can slot into many comps.

What are Genshin Impact Furina’s abilities?

It appears that Furina has it all going for her, in a suitably dramatic kit for the hydro archon. She deals plenty of hydro damage in an AoE, along with draining HP and healing fellow teammates, while summoning adorable hydro critters.

Active skills:

Skill Effect
Normal attack: Normal: Furina uses her sword to deal physical damage up to four consecutive times
Charged: Consumes an amount of stamina to deal physical damage to targets, but also allows Furina to swap between Ousia and Pneuma Arkhe alignments.
Plunging: Furina dives to the ground and deals physical damage in a small AoE.
Arkhe: Seats Sacred and Secular: At intervals when Furina’s normal attacks hit, Spiritbreath Thorns or Surging Blades descend based on her current Arkhe alignment, dealing Pneuma or Ouisa-aligned hydro damage.
Elemental skill: Salon Solitaire Furina’s elemental skill changes depending on her Arhke alignment.
Ousia: Furina invites the three Salon Members to the field who deal hydro damage to nearby targets. Her damage increases depending on how many characters in the party have HP over a certain amount. This attack deals hydro damage in an AoE scaling off Furina’s max HP. If characters nearby have more than 50% HP, the Members increase their attack power while consuming said HP. If there are 1/2/3/4 characters meeting this requirement, their attack raises by 110/120/130/140% respectively.
Pneuma: Furina summons the Singer of Many Waters, who provides healing to nearby party members intermittently. Furina’s summons stay on the field even when she swaps out. Both summons share the same duration – if Furina uses her charged attack to swap between types, then the new summon inherits the same duration. While summons are on the field, Furina can walk on water.
Elemental burst: Let the People Rejoice Furina deals AoE hydro damage to surrounding opponents based on her maximum HP. Nearby party members enter the Universal Revelry state – when party members’ HP increases or decreases, she gains a Fanfare Point for each percentage change. These points increase the party’s damage and incoming healing bonus.

Passive skills:

Skill Effect
Endless Waltz (unlocked at ascension one) When the active character receives healing, and the source of the healing is not Furina, and the healing overflows, Furina heals nearby party members by 2% of their max HP once every two seconds for the next four seconds.
Unheard Confession (unlocked at ascension four) Every 1,000 points of Furina’s max HP buffs her different Arkhe-aligned Salon Solitaire effects:
-Increases Salon Members damage by 0.7%, up to a maximum of 28%.
-Decreases Singer of Many Waters’ healing intervals by 0.4% up to a maximum of 16%.
The Sea Is My Stage (unlocked automatically) Decreases the cooldown on abilities gained from Xenochromatic Abberants underwater by 30%.

What is Genshin Impact Furina’s constellation?

Furina’s constellation is Animula Choragi – this translates roughly to ‘leader of a little soul chorus’. Here is what each copy of her unlocks, if you happen to pull one:

Constellation Effect
C1: “Love Is a Rebellious Bird That None Can Tame” When using Let the People Rejoice, Furina gains 150 Fanfare. Additionally, her Fanfare limit increases by 100.
C2: “A Woman Adapts Like Deckweed in Water” While Let the People Rejoice lasts, Furina’s Fanfare she gains from HP fluctuation of party members increases by 250%. Each point of Fanfare above the limit increases Furina’s maximum HP by 0.35%. The maximum increase of this is 140%.
C3: “My Secret Is Hidden Within Me, No One Will Know My Name” Increases the level of Let the People Rejoice by three. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4: “They Know Not Life, Who Dwelt in the Netherworld Not!” When the Salon Members of Salon Solitaire hit an opponent or the Singer of Many Waters restores HP to active characters, Furina restores four energy.
C5: “His Name I Now Know, It Is…!” Increases the level of Salon Solitaire by three. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6: “Hear Me – Let Us Raise the Chalice of Love!” When using Salon Solitaire, Furina gains the “Center of Attention” for ten seconds. While this is active, her normal, charged, and plunging attacks turn into hydro damage, which cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion. Damage also increases by the equivalent of 18% of Furina’s maximum HP.
Depending on her Arkhe alignment, these attacks have different effects:
Arkhe: Ouisa –
Every second, all nearby party members heal 4% of Furina’s max HP for 2.9 seconds. Triggering this again will extend the duration.
Arkhe: Pneuma –
Normal attacks, charged attacks, and plunging attacks increase by an amount equal to 25% of Furina’s max HP. Using this consumes 1% of nearby party member’s HP.
